Best Android ANC earbuds in the near future? (lemm.ee)

I've already looked at rtings.com and have tried XM5 which I didn't like because the ANC wasn't good enough.

Planning to get Bose Quietcomfort Ultra (the earbuds, not the headphones) very soon but unsure if there's going to be any new and quality release by any brand of high-end ANC earbuds that would be worth waiting for.

What can you recommend?

In case it matters, my preference goes like this, in order of priority:

Comfort of the earbuds within the ear (ideally something that won't damage the ear canal while sleeping on the side).
The quality of the noise cancellation. I need the strongest ANC because I live in an extremely noisy environment.
The sound quality as well as battery life come third.

I will probably always recommend the Fairbuds for environmental friendly reasons. https://shop.fairphone.com/fairbuds

Worth to note that their audio quality and anc is worse than competition noticeably. So its quality vs environment

The "trust us, we totally didn't just remove the headphone jack to profit off of the TWS hypetrain" - "eco friendly" company? No thanks

They objectively make more eco friendly products than most if not all other companies. They’re still a company so they make shitty decision from time to time, but in general they are quit good.
