Fair enough. I don't really have anything to compare them with. The last earphones I had were the one plus buds z which the pixel ones were better than.
I guess there's always something better.
Stay with your One plus, they are already a good choice. If you need new ones the Samsung pros were always a good choice especially paired with Samsung devices for sound and call quality. Beside Samsungs seamless bluetooth cocec which enables hires audio, the pro3s got a planar driver for highs beside a dual speaker/driver unit which is pretty new at that price point and should make a quit good sound possible but Samsung ruined everything swith their latest update.
Anything with a rechargeable none replaceable battery inherently has a limited lifetime. Of the wireless earbud style I've found apple air pods pros to be the most reliable over time. However they're expensive and still a disposable product. I've tried to take the 60% cost for 80% product route on earbuds before but was never truly happy with any product I tried. OnePlus buds are decent and cheap but certainly not apple airpods and I struggled with the in-ear detection. Sony makes a strong competitor to the airpods but again pricey. Overall, unless you love the wireless earbud style, they feel like a luxury product with cut corners.
Personally, I have difficulty getting earbuds to stay in my ears and ended up finding Shokz Openrun Pro Bone Conduction headphones. They sound quality is decent. Though like all bone conduction headphones, they lack bass. It's good enough for music unless you're an audiophile. I also find them incredibly comfortable and often forget I'm wearing them after 8 hours in office. I've had 3 pairs over about 10 years now and consider that about as long lasting and reliable as a disposable product can reasonably be. My current pair is about 4 years old now and still going strong.
I will give a shout-out for OnePlus buds, cheap but I'm very happy with them. They replaced my Sony xm3 and I honestly don't see a reason to go back to sony, they were big, unergonomic and expensive.
