The four environmental modes can be of some help here, but the best in my experience was the default Comfort mode, which "reduces the sharpness of high-frequency sounds and overall intensity, creating a more comfortable, balanced listening experience." The Atom X's Conversation mode was too sharp for much use, while the Crowd and TV modes didn't make a big impact in comparison to the Comfort mode.
The AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) tops ZDNET's best AirPods list because they offer impressive sound quality, immersive noise cancellation, all-day comfort, and a wireless charging case.
