        Sony WH-1000XM4/5/6

        I don’t have one of those, but they’re pretty popular as headphones with good ANC.

        Jlab Epic Air Sport ANC

        I do have those, though.

        Damn that’s pretty big, hopefully they update and give a final list of affected devices. Not to mention, gotta pray the devices will see software updates to try and mitigate it.
