Considering buying the airpods for that same reason. I have a pair of WF-1000xm3’s, the earbud equivalent of Sony’s Bose QC competitor. But they’re bulky and it causes me pain wearing them for longer than an hour. Tried multiple ear tips and even bought some comply foam tips for additional noise isolation and comfort.

I bought WF-1000XM3 a couple of months ago, but as soon as AirPods Pro came out, I decided to give them a try, and never looked back and sold my Sony's. They actually even feel lighter than the original AirPods and are absolutely much comfier than Sony's. I don't have to fiddle with them for a solid minute to get that good fit (that doesn't even approach a "perfect" fit in the end with WF-1000XM3, just "acceptable"), and they don't feel like they are digging deep inside my ear canal to the point where they start hurting after an hour. I like the sound on them more too, but that one is debatable, from what I hear.

I switched from WF-1000xm3s to AirPods Pro and it was the best decision ever (I still love my WMs). They are lighter and much more comfortable. Usually I can't wear in ears more than a couple hours but I could leave APs in all day. There are less connection drops, no voice announcements like "noise cancellation activated" just a discrete blip, the transition between modes is quite smooth, and the "pass through mode" aka transparency mode feels like you're not wearing anything. And I do find the ANC quite excellent, there's a much less reduced "ringing" you get from other NC gear (could be due to better algorithms, chip, or the mic on the inside that processes noise inside your ear canal). Overall one of the best purchases I've made.

  Only if they had better battery... I don't want to buy new expensive headphones every 2 years.
