Are the two AirPods 4 models identical in shape or is the model with noise canceling different?

I’m wondering how they compare in size to the AP3
I’d like to know that as well. The AirPods 3 were not comfortable at all and caused my ears severe discomfort which is why I returned them and went back to the AirPods 2 in less than a week. These new AirPods 4 are being marketed by Apple as the most comfortable AirPods which I definitely find appealing.

“AirPods 4 are the best headphones Apple has ever created with an open-ear design, setting an entirely new benchmark for fit and comfort. The new design is built with an unparalleled data set that uses advanced modeling tools, like 3D photogrammetry and laser topography, to precisely map and analyze thousands of ear shapes and over 50 million individual data points in total. This process helped refine the design to deliver the most comfortable AirPods ever with one shape that naturally fits even more users around the world.”

The AirPods 3 causes irritation and An indent in my upper inner ear canal where the plastic rubs on the skin after wearing them for long listening sessions. It happens with the AirPods Pro and Pro 2’s which is why my only option is the classic AirPods 2.
