Airplane Vs Travel Items

I have Sony WH-1000XM4, but I find myself carrying them less and less to the point where they've been relegated to long haul international flights only. My earbuds do the noise cancelling job 80% as well, they're 80% as comfortable and 5% as large. Trade off in most instances is worth it.

So I'm struggling to figure out how to bring my over ear headphones (Sony WH-1000XM4) with me.

There is a well known issue with the XM4s, where if you use them on a Windows PC, and use the microphone at the same time as listening to something the sound quality of the headphones is dropped down to the quality of the microphone (which is horrible).

Ear pain with Sony WH-1000XM4

I got my Sony WH-1000XM4 today and was more than excited. I have been tracking this since long so as soon as this launched; I grabbed it.

Can someone help me determine whether these modded listing from taobao uses dual female 3.5mm which would make them compatible with the meze audio boom mic. (last pic)

It's too big for travel, and outside gaming it would be unwieldy to use. For reference, I've been using the V-moda boom pro with my Sony Wh-1000xm4. Now i want to go smaller with an even better mic with the Meze. Luckily i found a mmxc adapter to 3.5mm female so i can use the Koss.
