The bezels aren’t that noticeable with other watchfaces, but some things don’t change. Last week, I sank into my living room couch and watched a bedraggled, nihilistic Matthew McConaughey take a drag of a cigarette in season 1 of True Detective . "You know, someone once told me time is a flat circle. Everything we've done, or will do, we're gonna do over and over and over again." I assume most people aren't thinking about fitness trackers or gadgets while watching that scene. But in that moment, I couldn't help but think about the Fitbit Edge on my wrist. The

With only minor changes, the XM4C is more of a re-release than a refresh of the XM4. When Sony announced the WH-1000XM4C headphones, I was perplexed.

Beyond a few minor tweaks, though, the XM4C are remarkably similar to their six-year-old namesake, the beloved WH-1000XM4 . They even use the same processor for active noise cancellation (ANC). And while I went into this review questioning the XM4C's existence, after spending
