So, Im a big headphone guy, I have some of the past gen best ANC headphones, and my dad owns the WF-XM4, which I asked for to make some comparisons with my headphones, which are some like the AirPods Max, WH-XM5 and QC Ultra Gen 1.

Well, my question is, how it is possible that my dad WF-XM4, which is now 2 generations old, cancell just as good, if not slightly better / worse in some noises against my AirPods Max 1, QC Ultra Gen 1 and WH-XM5?????? Ive been A/B them with my headphones for about an hour and it is really that way.

Although they are a little difficult for me to get the right seal, which I have to tweak them for around 1m-5m to get them right, thats the only downside...

Objective measurments tell a different story, they tell that the WF-XM4 are objectively way inferior to the rest of my headphones, but on real use the thing is whole different...

And if the WF-XM4 are THAT good, then how monstrous are the new WF-XM6?????

Does anyone own a WF-XM4 and an over ear headphone like the QC Ultras, XM6, or any of the AirPods Max? If so, how do they compare in your experience?

I swear Im speechless dude... And I was just trying to save for a new laptop, guess now Ill have to resist to buying the WF-XM6...
