I have the Soundcore Space Ones, they are pretty awesome for the price. I recommend them personally speaking.

Lower price point but work great for me are the Anker Space ones. They have a large soft ear cup.

It's so pretty and the life on one charge looks sooo good, but I mustn't. I have the Soundcore Space One already, those are great too and similar to these. But ooh, so pretty and shiny... 😭

The tricky point is going to be gym usage. Very few over ear headphones have any kind of waterproofing/sweatproofing, and you're probably going to be making compromises on something else to get that. For the Space One specifically, I can say that they don't clamp particularly tightly, so in addition to the lack of sweatproofing, they're not going to stay on particularly well when working out. But they're cheaper than the others, and tick all the other boxes, so it might make sense to use the change to get some cheap in-ears. If they're available where you are and you can find them in your budget, you might also want to consider the CMF Headphone Pro, the Fairphone Fairbuds XL, and the Skullcandy Crusher 540 Active. The only one of those I have personal experience with is the CMF Headphone Pro (which I really like, but its IPX2 waterproofing is still on the low side for exercise use), but they all boast at least some level of waterproofing, whilst having other tradeoffs that you may or may not be able to live with (the Skullcandy don't have ANC, for example).

Based on [Rtings.com's tests](https://www.rtings.com/headphones/tools/compare/anker-soundcore-space-one-wireless-vs-sony-wh-xb910n-wireless/42021/28722), there's not much difference between the Space One and the WH-XB910N in terms of weight, or in terms of leakage, although the Space one do clamp a bit less tightly. Noise cancellation is six and half a dozen between the two (Soundcore better at high frequency, Sony better at low frequency), although I note that [Soundguys testing of the Space One](https://www.soundguys.com/anker-soundcore-space-one-review-111648/#id-isolation-111648) found better noise cancellation than Rtings, and they do seem to cancel noise better than the Rtings results would suggest. Personally, I've used the Space One but not the WH-XB910N, so can't compare to the Sony, but I would at least say that they're comfy to wear with glasses, partly because they clamp a bit less tightly than some other headphones. Glasses will however mean that any over-ear headphones make a less good seal, which means worse noise cancellation and more leakage. My experience with the Space One is that they're relatively tricky to get a good seal with generally, so you may still have these problems.
