Why has my ANC on my AirPods Max headphones decreased dramatically with the 4E71 firmware? I feel like a very good feature on my rather expensive headphones has been robbed from me.

Why has the ANC on my AirPods Max headphones deteriorated quite noticeably with the 4E71 firmware update?

it was great prior to the upgrade, now it’s “meh.”

when you spend $500 for a set of headphones expecting top line features to have even one choked like this seems rather underhanded, at best.
