AirPods Pro Max
I've had two Sonys (XM4 and XM5) and a bunch of Boses (QC 1x something, 25, 35II).
These are by far the best ones for me. The fabric on the ear cups doesn't get sweaty, I have tactile buttons for every function (unlike the Sonys), ANC works even when the mic is on (Bose can't do this).
And the best feature: I can charge them while I'm using them. Neither the Sony or Bose can do that, they just go offline.
This might be something I'll end up buying, I've got a pair of xm4s and they're beyond irritating. There's no way to permanently disable speak-to-chat so every time I clear my throat the music pauses. It constantly re-enables if you touch the side whilst taking them off or picking them up, or also possibly for no reason at all. I've read dozens of complaints about this and I've just about had it with them.

Yea, that's annoying as all hell, as is the fact that it takes 5-7 business days to adjust the volume with the stupid swipe-badonk -system compared to a physical knob or button.
And the companion app has ACHIEVEMENTS.
I experienced that and the following product solved it: AWINNER Headband Cover Compatible for Apple AirPods Max (https://amzn.eu/d/diJ2eXY)

I find this amusing considering this is the opposite comment that you see when the apple mouse comes up.
Note: I know the mouse charging is a non issue in reality
