WF-1000XM6

I guess it's all about personal preference and what you want from the unit. For me it's the XM6 because for TWS buds I value ANC over everything else. To be honest I find the sound quality of the XM6 and AZ100s pretty darn close - it's marginal for me, not night and day, and in any case if I want banging musicality I'll either reach for my plethora of IEMs or my AKG K371s (to my first point about use case).

Me too! Totally worth it. They feel brand new and I can use them for at least another year or so

Get the sony wx5 or 6s they are the best sounding buds you can get and the anc is great

AirPods Pro 3 and wf xm6 from all that I’ve tried personally.

Mowing / landscaping (ANC priority): Bose QuietComfort Ultra (most silence) Sony WF-1000XM6 (almost as quiet + better sound) AirPods Pro 3 (good but not top-tier for engines) Powerbeats Pro 2 (fit > ANC) or if you sweat a lot look at the ipx ratings. If your priority is: MAX quiet → Bose Quiet + music quality → Sony Won’t fall out no matter what → Beats (but weaker ANC)
