Glad I'm not the only one experiencing this. All of my Bluetooth headphones (Sony WH1000XM4, WF1000XM4, AirPods Max) have experienced higher than usual dropouts in noisy areas. This wasn't a problem when I had AirPods Pro several years ago connected to an iPhone 11 Max.

On its own Bluetooth works quite well, but where there are a lot of active devices it only takes one device to drown out others. I've got an old Magic Trackpad which reconnects often and most of the time that results in Bluetooth audio dropping out. Since there are lots of people using lots of BT devices now I guess it's a tragedy of the commons situation...
