I’d say the Bose N700 (or something like that) are a better comparison for the Sony you mentioned. I tried out both before settling on the Bose. They have a more transparent sound (which you either like or you don’t) but the main thing was the transparency mode and the far superior call handling/mic. I haven’t tried the Apple over the ear and would expect that those far outshine the N700s but I had the AirPod Pros before the Bose and the latter sound better to me.
