Unfortunately Bose makes the best ANC headphones, not really much of a choice besides them

Sony makes better ones when it comes to hardware. They last generally longer than Bose, but I do like the Bose sound over all better. The noise canceling of Sony is better in my opinion. Observed several Sony/Bose bluetooth headsets over several years.

Yeah, technically Sony makes ANC headphones aswell, but they sound so awfull that i wouldn't even consider buying them, and when it comes to the microphones the Bose also do incredibly well in loud environments

I've had multiple pairs of Sony's flagship headphones and earbuds and have no major complaints, and sound quality is actually surprisingly good if you use the in-app EQ. I daily drive a pair of XM4's when I'm out of the house, and even though I choose to use my wired pairs when I'm at home or whenever it's convenient, the XM4's are champions for the Bluetooth over-ear experience.

Maybe five years ago that was true. Today there are a number of competitors in that space.

Honestly, hard disagree. Sony’s have about comparable ANC and their sound signature is just slightly less bloated, to the point they can be EQ’d to be reasonable. And expensive as they might be, Airpods Max are also shockingly good

I thought the AirPods max have terrible voice handling, hard pass on that one
