I've already looked at rtings.com and have tried XM5 which I didn't like because the ANC wasn't good enough.

Planning to get Bose Quietcomfort Ultra (the earbuds, not the headphones) very soon but unsure if there's going to be any new and quality release by any brand of high-end ANC earbuds that would be worth waiting for.

What can you recommend?

In case it matters, my preference goes like this, in order of priority:

  1. Comfort of the earbuds within the ear (ideally something that won't damage the ear canal while sleeping on the side).

  2. The quality of the noise cancellation. I need the strongest ANC because I live in an extremely noisy environment.

  3. The sound quality as well as battery life come third.

I can't personally recommend anytihing excep this site https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/best/noise-cancelling-earbuds Their reviews go very deep and use actual measurements instead of human opinions

That's exactly what helped me come up with the choice of Bose but this website doesn't take into consideration anything that's going to be released in the near future which is what I'm thinking about. Will there be some other big ANC earbuds model coming out very soon?
