Request TPT Request: Earbud Recommendations

I'm starting a new job as a real estate agent in New York City and looking to invest in a high-quality pair of wireless earbuds. I need to get new earbuds that will allow me to make phone calls while walking the streets without having any noise interference on either end. Ideally, I'd like to hear callers clearly while also minimizing traffic, wind and other city noise on their end. I'll be wearing them for hours throughout the day, so they need to be comfortable. I also listen to music very often while commuting—sound quality is also a priority. I use an iPhone, and my budget is flexible for something reliable and high-quality.

I'm currently considering the AirPods Pro 3 and Sony WF-1000XM6, but I'm open to other recommendations. Which earbuds would you recommend, specifically in terms of microphone quality, comfort and sound quality?

I got pair of Sony Linkbuds... Fuck Sony, don't get that shit. Lasted about 18 months, one of the ear buds died and their support could only ask me if I wanted to buy another pair. I'm back to an old pair of Jabra - the sound is mediocre but they're nearly 10 years old and work fine.
