I have the 1000XM4, two generations old now. I love the sound quality and the active noise cancellation is so good, especially for planes. My biggest complaint is this very annoying thing where the ANC turns off, or maybe turns on some noise passthrough when I'm on a call. It's a known thing that for whatever reason Sony didn't or chose not to fix.
Is that still their design preference for the newest generation? Or will these actually screen out noise while on a call?

I sold my XM6 and opted for Sennheiser Momentum 4. As an XM4 owner the XM6 sounded worse. Much muddier sounding bass and mids no matter how much I messed with the EQ. ANC was phenomenal though.

This was a setting in the app for the XM5. I'm not sure how it works for the XM4.

How do these work on Windows 11? Looking for a nice set of headphones to use while working, because using my Airpod Pro 3's on Windows has been a nightmare

any input on these for "transparency" AKA "passthrough" AKA "ambient", or whatever its called on Sony's headsets?

I got older Sony's and Bose sets that is already good for ANC. What Apple AirPods Max 2 got me interested is the transparency mode. I think the next worthwhile upgrade for us (me and my spouse) is a over-the-ear headset (for long batter hours), with ANC, transparency mode, and background noise reduction/voice isolation for working from home.

We sometimes have back-to-back videoconference calls, so it battery stamina needs to last most if not the entire work day. Our home offices are above and below each other, so we can "hear" each other when talking loud. So, need a headset that blocks this so the party on the other end doesn't hear those background conversations on the other room but also transparent mode so we can hear if someone is ringing the door bell at the front door, or we're in the middle of getting robbed/break-in. Also decent sounds for music and good ANC mode as well.

I am looking at Airpad Max 2, but the weight and price of it is initially not ranking it high on my list. Are these comparable to AirPods Max 2 as far as my needs for all-day home office headsets for video calls, (as well as the one headset to rule them all -- traveling too)?

Should be the same, I have xm5, xm6 and ULT and they all have adaptive sound control.

YES! Took me a while to figure out what was going on with my XM4's. It would do this when I taked. Was super annoying, but easy to turn off one I realized what was causing it.

They are reportedly not going to be as good as the current 6s. They're more an an expensive showpiece rather than a competitor to their top of the line.

Sound quality of the new Collexion appears to be slightly better mostly due to new codec and format access and some DSP upgrade. But ANC and battery life slightly worse. So pick. Clearly the XM6 will be around a while.
