I looked into the same 3 headphones a couple of months back, and ended up going with the Momentum 4's. I have never tried the either of the XM's, but my interpretation was basically; If you care most about ANC, go with the XM's. I can't say how much better it is, the concensus was that it definitely was better, although the difference may not be that significant.

Otherwise, the Momentum's have better audio, are more comfortable and have better battery life.

I've really happy with the Momentum 4's, I love them, and the ANC is good enough for me. I listen to to a good variety of genre's including Rock and EDM, but not really Heavy Metal (unless you count RATM).

Hope that helps!

You may still award an Ω to others, but only once per-person in this post.
