I currently have a Sony XM4, and with the stock pads those just sit on my ears essentially, which gets uncomfortable pretty quick. Otherwise like the features and codec support.

I'm on Android. What is currently the best wireless ANC headphone to get with very good ANC, very comfortable earpads (i.e. deep and big, I have big ears and don't at all like the driver resting on my ear) and good codec support (preferably more than just SBC/AAC, given that I'm on Android).

I recently installed these lambskin leather ear pads ($6 USD each, plus other fees) made for the B&W PX7 Series 1 and they provide plenty of room for your ears, so they don't touch anything inside the ear cup:

The most recent revision of the PX7 S1 is the Carbon, which can be found new here:

I also highly recommend getting a headband cover for better grip and to protect the stock headband pleather:

How good is the ANC on these? And what about SQ?

Would you mind taking rough measurements of the earcup, height x width x depth (in mm?). Would really appreciate it :)
