I have really small ears and ear canals, and AirPods Pro’s are generally uncomfortable (both 2 and 3). They also suck at staying in my ears which defeats the purpose of them being gym buds as well. I’ve tried all kinds of ear tips to no avail. I vastly prefer headphones but unfortunately I have a hair type that gets ridiculous looking headphone lines in it when I wear them. So here I am. I’m hoping for comfort and then features next. ANC would be nice if it’s good, otherwise I guess I might consider wired if I can get much better sound. AirPods don’t sound great when I’m used to my HD 6XX lol.

    I have the Sony WH-1000XM4 headset and I love them. The jump from Gen 4 to newer isn’t huge for my needs, so I haven’t had reason to upgrade them. I say this because you may save some money going with a previous gen depending on your use cases.

    I wear them mowing the lawn, on airplanes, trains, even doing the dishes— ANC on them is amazing. Music sounds amazing. The app is easy to use and completely unnecessary if the defaults are fine. Connects to two devices simultaneously. Mic works quite well and sounds good to the other parties. Battery life is excellent. They’re pretty great.

    I agree they might be too bulky for working out, especially aerobics. They get a little sweaty when I mow the lawn but I wipe them off right away and let them dry. Still look brand new and on the original cups years later. Definitely worth the money, in my opinion.
