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.

Shure != Bose, but also I don't think you can shower in the Shure IEMs. Maybe with a case or something on them.

I use Aftershokz for something like shower listening but those are the opposite of your problem - they're bone conduction so they do not block any sound.

Also to be clear - my earbuds are wireless in that they just clip to my belt loop with the Bluetooth receiver. So I can have them out of the way but easily available.
