    I'll second the Apple Airpods Pro. I just went through almost all of the headphones mentioned above trying to find something that would allow me to work both without hearing anyone and showing them I'm obviously not available. The key for me in terms of functionality though is that I'm entirely in the Apple Ecosystem. So the Airpods Pro Max were the only pair that made any sense for everything I need. They are pricey, but the sound is amazing and the work with all things Apple.

    If you're not in the Apple Ecosystem then the Sony's and Bose are decent. I would say the Sony slightly edged out the Bose. I tried the WF-1000XM5s and the Bose Quitcomfort SE's (Costco version of the 45s?). I also tried the Bose 700's. I really liked the 700's sound but they weren't comfortable enough to wear long term. The WF-1000XM5s were better. I highly suggest buying from a place you can return them to like BestBuy or Costco and see what sounds and feels right.

    Good luck!
