Is there nothing that is as compact as the airpod pros, with ANC, decent sound quality ect. that isn't the airpod pros?

 

I do own a set of Sony WF-1000XM3 and they're great but the case is frigging massive so I don't actually use them as much as I like (use my cheapo £30 ones a lot more as they actually comfortably fit in my pockets).

    @Mr.Meerkat Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 or the True Wireless 2 Anniversary Edition. Although it is a bit more pricey than Airpod Pros. MSRP is £279 for the newer Anniversary Edition.

    @AluminiumTech That case is thicc-er than the XF-1000XM3 (but is smaller overall) so probs not quite what I'm looking for (definitely won't fit in the same pocket as my wallet...the airpods do). It's annoying how no-one other than apple seems to care about the overall size of the case as everything else is quite a bit larger :(

    I mean you can go smaller but they just won't have ANC and they won't be premium.

     

    Tbh, may just be me but when I owned my Airpods Pro they didn't fit in a jeans pocket. I had to put them in a jacket pocket.

     

    Any kind of similar noise cancelling truly wireless earbuds will have a similarly sized case.

    What are some of the non-anc smaller ones then? :P 

    The airpod pros (friends) fit in my pockets quite well (relatively tight jeans) sooooo... 🤷‍♂️

    I mean it sounds like you want Airpod Pros.

    Hehe, I kinda do but they aren't exactly known to be friendly with non-apple devices :(

    @Mr.Meerkat They work fine on Windows devices and allegedly work okay on Android devices. I haven't tested Android devices with them but Windolws devices worked okay when I had mine.

    @AluminiumTech I may or may not have found a pair of Cambridge Audio Melomania 1 at a very discounted price (almost 50% ;)) and given that it has a case almost as small as the airpods (airpod case: 53.5 x 44.3 x 21.3 mm , CA case: 59 x 50 x 22mm), I may or may not have taken the plunge on them, especially as they're known to be some of the best, if not the best sounding earbuds.

     

    Gonna use them as my dailies whilst my WF-1000XM3 will be kicked down into whenever I want ANC or forget to charge the CAs (assuming I actually do like them enough to keep em). Thing is, because my WF-1000XM3 was a lot cheaper than MSRP, this combination of the two actually works out a bit cheaper than the £220 I'd need to fork over for airpod pros so I don't think I can complain :)
