Which headphone did you try? That sounds amazing

Can't speak for OP, but I recently bought a pair of Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones and I'm pretty impressed. They don't make me feel the pressure in my ear like some do, and the noise suppression is just about magic. My wife has to text me from downstairs to tell me my kids are fighting even when it's just outside the door to my office, because I can't hear them at all (and I don't turn up the volume on my music). Just turning them on without any music makes it hard to understand someone talking in the same room.

I have these same ones and AirPod Max as well. Both really amazing for focus, deep thought and traveling.

What's the magnitude of improvement over the standard option (bose quietcomfort)?

[alanbernstein]

XM3, my understanding is that the noise cancelling performance is similar to the XM4.

AirPod Max noise cancellation is pretty stellar.
