I've been using both the song WF-1000 XM5 and the Razer hammerhead pro hyper speed over the past year so here's my two cents:
For work calls the sony buds are hard to beat. The noise cancelling is amazing, and people on zoom meet always hear me clearly. They're super comfortable for long calls too. The only downside is gaming the audio lag is noticeable if you play anything competitive. Fine for casual stuff though.
Razer hammerhead are opposite. They don't block as much background noise, but the low latency mode actually works. I can play shooter's without that wired audio delay and the mic is decent enough for dicords and meetings.
i've been using wireless earbuds for meetings for about a year now. honestly the dongle connection is a game changer for stability. i tried the razer hammerheads and they were decent but the mic wasn't as good as i hoped. what helped me was getting a [laptop stand](https://metadoraffi-eng.github.io/shopit?adjustable+laptop+stand) to position my laptop's built-in mic better as backup. the poly voyager free 60+ might fit your budget and has great teams certification.
I have some Razer Hammerhead TWS Pro that are like 5 years old. Used them on my deck and use them now on my ROG Ally X. They have a “gaming mode” that reduces the Bluetooth latency on them, really hard to notice unless you’re looking for it. I think I got them for like $120
Sorry but I think you are misunderstanding what OP means by working with their consoles. It's not just audio we're talking about here, it's the ability to have audio AND chat working at the same time while in-game.
This is NOT a feature that none gaming earbuds will have. The only other earbuds I know of that can do this are the Razer Hammerhead Hyperspeed Xbox and/or PS5 edition.
Otherwise, you can of course get a wireless headset... But then you would have to deal with the discomfort of having a heavy headset on your head. These types of earbuds are for a very particular crowd.
They are great with the dongle on PC and via Bluetooth for phones. But I have a really annoying bug / feature (?) on PS5 where the mic is forced on all the time meaning ANC doesn’t work. It says “ANC” when toggling the modes but it is actually just the “off” position with no transparency and no ANC. Even when changing the mic to the controller it won’t enable full ANC. The sound is odd too like the hammerheads are being kept in hand-free mode or something. I reported it to Razer so hopefully it can be addressed in a firmware but doubt it given Razers history 😅
