yeah, i have the earpods and the xiaomis, and the xiaomis are a bit thicker, but less Long on the earpiece. they fit my ears just as well as the earpods though, but your milage may vary of course.

Xiaomi buds 3, im not joking this is serious lol. that thing has so much pressure that you can't use it much you need to lower the anc power in order to use it normally that is insane. i tried: Xiaomi buds 3 (-40dB i dont know how but hell yeah) Xiaomi buds 5 (no silicone, weakstill better than 4 NC) Redmi buds 6 pro (-55dB 4kHz good but -55dB is not realistic) anker soundcore liberty 4 NC (worst among them) If i would rate the ANC power: Xiaomi buds 3 9.5/10 (bose may be better, or not lol) Redmi buds 6 pro 6/10 Sony WH-CH720N 5/10 Xiaomi buds 5 4/10 Liberty 4 NC 2/10 (2 is optimistic) Transparency mode: Xiaomi buds 3 9/10 (literally hearing aids at this point) Redmi buds 6 pro 3/10 Xiaomi buds 5 3/10 Liberty 4 NC 2/10 Fun fact: my dad was using xiaomi buds 3 as hearing aids when i didnt use it 😂) Bad sides: its stick is VERY long like VERY but if you dont care just buy it. its BOSE and SONY's only enemy.
