@aborbrothers1269 It does if you're into apple ecosystem, since you get additional customization from iPhone. For Android users XM4/XM5 will be better. In that case too XM4 is slightly better if one prefers a bit more of bass and ability to fold for convenience in carrying. XM4 costs less than the other two also.
Airpods max although relased sometime back it's still up there with the best. We looked at Sony 1000XM5, 1000XM4 recently and it seems a close contest. Thoughts in comments section below.
