I wouldn't know, I always lose one before they fail. Because of this, I get cheaper ones, using Anker Liberty buds now 75 on sale and they are great (for me). In the house I have my Sennheiser M4 on.
I've been using air pods for several years and my third replacement is ready for a replacement due to sweat corosian and frequent battery drain and disconnects.
Bought the soundcore liberty open and the senheiser accentumopen.
Both have sound quality that is comparable. I like the Anker app, and the ability for eq and ANC. I will rarely use ANC because there is a hiss with it on. The buds fit snug with the tips and deeper in ear.
The senheiser feels light and barely there. I worry they will fall out but somehow they don't move. I expect these are more comfortable long term. There is no app or eq as far as I can tell.
Decisions...
I have a pair of Sony WTF4000s or whatever the hell they're called, and they are very nice, but my AirPods Pro:
* Are far, far, far more comfortable
* Stay in my ears
* Always connect
* Have a much smaller/pocketable charging case
I got the Sonys as wireless earbuds for Zoom calls on my Windows machines, but I can't get them to work reliably for that. They are now paired to my TV so I can watch movies or game without bothering my wife, but... they don't work reliably for that, either. Hell, they don't even natively connect to the PS5, which is baffling to me.
I also have a pair of Anker Liberty earbuds, which worked for a few months. Cheap, sure, but if you have to replace them every year because the battery life falls to 20 minutes, then you pretty quickly get up to AirPod prices.
TL;DR: AirPods Pro FTW
