I actually had the AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) and the Sony WF-1000XM5 earbuds to test at the same time and the Sony's just blew them out of the water on every front. With the AirPods Pro there was just a very slight almost unperceivable lag when watching a movie and my Sony's none whatsoever. Comfort, Bass, Treble, mids all sound better with the Sony's. Also when I insert my Sony's they automatically connect to either my iPhone or iPad Pro which is the same for the AirPods but my Sony's are just so much better and they can connect to multiple sources simultaneously. Like I'll be watching a movie or video on my iPad Pro and if I get a call on my iPhone I can automatically switch over with just a touch on the right earbud.
As for the VP's, still being a very expensive toy but as far as wearing them in public I can see them being more natural wearing them on an airplane than any other place. Did he say if the movie experience is 120Hz or not, I don't remember?
