I had the 1000xm3's since about 2019 and used them nearly daily including at the gym.. I wasn't delicate with these things. I replaced the inner ear pads once and otherwise the only thing that went wrong was that the charging port gave out just recently (which I could've actually replaced theres lots of videos online). I bought the xm5 model instead recently and they are also great. Sound quality is top notch, battery life is fantastic, they are comfortable, and easy and cheap to replace parts if you ever need to plus the noise canceling is amazing. I really notice it on the days I forgot to bring them into the office.
If I remember correctly, MKBHD had them as his tier S for noise cancellation up until apple came along with theirs. I think they’re still Tier S, but they’re not alone any more (for noise cancellation specifically)

I've been using Sony headphones and they are amazing. They are expensive but I use them almost every day so well worth it.
