I have a pair of Sony WF-1000XM3 and I can honestly say they are the best piece of tech I have bought for a long time. Use them at home, when on public transport, walking the dog. Sound superb, app is excellent with equaliser to tailor the sound, adaptive sound control based on walking, running, sitting, public transport is clever and actually adds to the usability. On bud touch controls (programmable in app) take some getting used to, but work well.
Some have real problems with the fit, I didn’t using stock ear tips, but I have also tried aftermarket comply tips which many say improve the in ear stability and I found these improve the fit, noise isolation and sound quality. Switching between multiple apple devices isn’t as slick as the AirPod pro’s but for me everything else is better (sound, noise cancelling, equaliser). XM4’s will be along soon so some excellent deals to be had on the current generation.
