AirPods Max out, Sony XM6 in: I've tried all the leading Bluetooth cans, and I have some strong opinions!

This is the headphone that I'm currently wearing at work. This is the headphone that I choose to wear, even though I've got all of them at my disposal. That's because it's light, looks good, and I like the features and controls. It also sounds great. It's ALSO by far the cheapest of all the headphones on this page, as the Momentum 5 has come out. It's still the best all-rounder headphone on sale today.

These are very light, and very comfortable headphones that have a simple yet effective app for EQ. I can get these to sounds really good, though the out-of-the-box sound is a little bass-heavy for me. I've had issues with the ANC failing on public transport, where a gust of wind from an open window breached the headphones seal. Other than that, these are excellent. Also, they're cheaper now as the newer QC 2 was released recently (I'd definitely go for these)

This is a weird one – this is the record low price on the AirPods Max, and I'm still hesitant to recommend them to you. They sound great, but there's no app, no EQ. That makes this the only top Bluetooth headphones where you can't tweak the sound. They also look cool, but they're the heaviest option on this page, and they get really uncomfortable after 30 to 40 minutes use. And still they're one of the most expensive options! Also, that diaper case!! Really hard to recommend.

Yes, these are bass cannons, and yes, there have been complaints about the comfort of them over long listening sessions. But I find I can tame the bass pretty easily with the accompanying app, and I could get an hour before I need to take them off (no such issue with the Momentum 4, above). They're do offer the best ANC, and that's great, but they're also the most expensive option on the page.
