I'm happy with my AirPods Pro, so I won't be buying these.
That said, looking beyond audio quality alone is why these exists. None of those headphones has the ease-of-syncing these will. I'm pretty sure none of those headphones support the spatial audio stuff these will. My corded Sennheiser HD280s started flaking off around the ear not too long after I bought them, while these seem like probably they'll wear better over time.
Audio quality? Yeah, I'm guessing Apple's aiming for "good enough for most people," nowhere near studio quality. But on everything else, I suspect they've nailed it, especially for people who've used AirPods or AirPods Pro and appreciate the syncing, spatial audio, etc.
