Sony WF-1000XM3 or Sony WH-1000XM3

[JemHadar]

So this is the use case. My significant other, sitting next to me on the couch, watching some show on TV, me listening to music through an IEM or Over Ear Headphone connected via Bluetooth to an iPad being used as Roon endpoint. The music not bothering her, the TV not bothering me.

My shortlist has come down to
Master & Dynamic MW70 Plus (the new IEM with ANC)
Sony WF-1000XM3 (IEM with ANC)
Sony WH-1000XM3 (Over Ear with ANC)

It would seem that I can have a good deal on each of the Sony's.

From reviews I have read and seen on YouTube, the Sony WH Over Ear trumps all others when it comes to isolation, however, as comfortable as it has been reported to be it remains a bulky item sitting on your head.

Time to reach out to my trusted AA Fellows.

I was wondering if the active and passive noise cancellation of the M&D and the Sony WF In Ear Monitors are sufficient for this use case.

I would love to hear and learn from your experiences.

Thank You
