Mines been similar but not the same... I too bought it on release...... Working perfectly fine even after shit ton of abuse..... But abused enough(the shape is not fit for my ear for workouts so it kept falling during workouts) and due to making it fall again and again the left earpiece's internal speakers glue got loose and now I can head it working but due it it not being in its place it sounds off...
Just started to use OnePlus Buds 3 about 2 - 3 weeks ago. The experience so far has been nice. ANC is great. I'm using the moderate ANC, yet it's good enough to suppress the noise you experience during busy bus rides.
If you can go above your budget a bit I think you'd be happier in the long run. I bought the One Plus buds 3. I had the OG Galaxy buds Pros and noise cancellation sucked. I was gonna buy the Sony XM5s for around 10k but decided not to so I could buy a standing desk and another pair of buds for cheaper. These buds punch above their weight class. They're pretty comfy to wear. When you turn on ANC, the world just goes silent (almost silent), I can't hear my aircon anymore or fan. Weird feeling to have the fan blow on me without noise lol. But outside like when I jog, I can still hear a bit of road noise even with ANC so it's not 100% noise cancellation but I guess it's a good thing (for safety reasons). But with ANC on, I don't have to play music at full volume, it sounds loud enough na at like 40% because it drowns out most of the outside noise anyways.
The main reason I got it was also because of the battery life. Lasts like 6+ hrs with ANC on. And much longer with it off.
If you have an Iphone just get APP 2 or 3 their ANC is stellar and their Transparency mode is unmatched. I also personally prefer squeeze controls with the swipe functions ive tried CMF 2 and One plus buds 3 but the one plus sounded slightly harsh and the controls weren't great.
