Soundcore is a good budget offering... A little EQ tampering and you have a really decent ANC competitor on your hands

Honestly the Airpods Max is a really good Bluetooth headphone that pairs excellently with Apple Ecosystem stuff so if that's you, then the Airpods Max is perfect but if you're a non Apple Ecosystem person then the Apple Airpods Max is bottlenecked by its lack of other Bluetooth codecs. Mostly the high bitrate codecs...

So my recommends are the: Mark Levinson 5909 or the Focal Bathys

But note that the Airpod Max still beats them when it comes to the non sonic stuff like ANC and Ambient mode.

Lol then you're in the wrong audiophile circles... An actually audiophile knows the Airpod Max and especially the new Airpod Pros (2nd Generation) are tonally more accurate than some headphones/TWS that are in the same price bracket. And have class leading transparency mode....

And I don't even call myself an Apple person
