In-ear headphones or over-ear headphones? (feddit.de)

Hello, everyone. I've been thinking about getting the WF-1000XM5, but I'm not sure if it's a good investment. I've heard that the WF-1000XM4 had a major battery drainage problem. Is this still the case with the WF-1000XM5?

Right now, I am using the WH-CH710N. They've been great, but recently they started to break. They still work, but the ANC doesn't isolate the same way on the right ear as in the left ear, and they aren't really compact. So I'm looking for an upgrade. I know that over-ear headphones are superior when talking ANC, but they aren't as compact as in-ear. I've also heard that the AirPods Pro are a good option. But as an Android user, I usually tend to avoid Apple products.

Do you guys have any recommendations?

I have the Liberty 2 pro+ and I can vouch for them, they're good earbuds. I've never tried their over-ear headphones though, can anyone vouch for them?

I got the Life Q30 (or 35? I don't know offhand, but they're pretty similar) as a gift a couple Christmases ago. The sound is...alright out of the box. The stock EQ isn't the best; I found it to be too bass heavy, but the app lets you set a custom preset. Battery life is really solid, and they come with both a USB-C cable and 3.5mm out of the box. The 3.5 works even if the battery is flat (you just don't get ANC, obviously). ANC is definitely not as good as my old Bose QCs, but then again I haven't found much that is. It's good enough to make flying a lot quieter, though, and they're loud enough without leaking to make up for the weaknesses in noise cancellation.
