JBL Live Flex 3, just bought them yesterday and they sound pretty good after some EQ. They also have some crazy battery life. You should check a review on YT (the one that Picky Audio made is pretty good).

So I've tried a few buds. My issue is that I don't really know what shape/thickness works for me. My ears are very weird. Huawei free se 2 - (they're okay but hurts after 2 hours) Soundcore k20i - Great fit, but sound quality isn't really it for me. Soundcore Liberty Buds - Something with these make them not fit me very well. I had hopes for these tho. They fit and stay in, but they're not very comfortable. Nor do they impress me with their sound for that price. Recently bought the JBL live flex 3 - to thick for my ears sadly. But from the semi in ear buds ive tested, these by far has the best and fullest sound. The sound also doesn't get affected when turning the bud back or forth a few degrees. It seriously blows the above out of the water sound wise. I'm eyeing the Galaxy Buds 3 alternatively Buds 4- been reading that they're thick tho. But no multipoint, mid battery life and a high price. Also been looking into OPPO enco 3/ OPPO enco air4(same thing different names in EU/ASIA). But I really don't see how OPPO will have much better soundquality than k20i. Does anyone have any good suggestions? Budget isn't really a thing - but for the purpose of the post let's say max 300 usd. Just want to stop spending money on earbuds I can't use and after trying them on I can't return them either - due to the consumer laws in my country classifying earbuds as a hygienic product.

I kinda came to the conclusion that the mid priced range is good enough, considering they don't seem to last all that long. Just got some JBL live 3 , I'm really happy with them they sound great

I had the same issue, I just actually tried the three at the top of my list. Technics AZ100, AirPods Pro 3, and JBL Tour life 3… I am most likely going to go with the Pro 3…. The technics I don’t know if I like the fit, the screen on the case for the JBL feels like one more thing that could break, and the AirPods just seemed very reliable and checked all the boxes. I also found that I was just splitting hairs and analysis paralysis was taking over.
