I don’t have a 23U (went for a Flip5 in the end) but I did get the Buds2 Pro with it for free so I can comment on that. They’re really good in my view, and not just because they were free.
I had Sony WF-1000XM4s which I bought and had for about 1.5yrs - eventually had some battery problems which caused me to return them and I ended up using the B2P that I was planning to sell. I had a brief couple of days using them side-by-side and they were essentially the same.
However I did need to purchase some better earbud silicone tips for the B2P as the ones they came with weren’t a nice solid fit - felt loose. I bought the “Azla SednaEarfit” tips for them and they transformed the fit to make them have even better noise cancelling.
The only thing I’ve noticed recently is they’re not as good as the Sonys at cutting out wind noise - but that’s not a major issue for me.
