I got a pair in the black Friday sale and they arrived today, first impressions are good, but nothing blows you away. They're just good for bog standard everyday wireless earbuds and I'd say probably worth it for the price I got them for, 150 reduced from £219. Bearing in mind the buds4 will probably be at least 250

So in the Bluetooth settings now you don't even need the gear app if you updated to the latest drivers for the Galaxy buds 3 there is a setting to change them to low latency gaming mode EDIT: I do not know if this is available with non Samsung devices l sorry.

Samsung Galaxy buds 3 or 2. You can easily find them in many online stores for well below 2k

The charging pins sit outside the ears now on the stem. These or the Buds 3s shouldn't bother you anymore.

I just got the S25 ultra, had the S20fe before but I upgraded earbuds from the galaxy buds fe to the galaxy buds 3. At first I loved the GB3 other than fitment but, with that being said I've had them for a week today and I'm already getting muffled sound in both earbuds. Really considering just going back to the GB fe

I'd stretch for the Galaxy Buds 3 Pros, but if they really are too much, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pros are great as well. The B3Ps have voice commands, which are a killer feature that no other buds have from any company. The B2Ps are a different form factor, but still sound almost as good as the B3Ps. I would avoid the Galaxy Buds 3 (not pro) if I were you, since you like EDM and they severely lack on bass compared to the sealed option.

For me, wingtips or hooks are pretty essential in the gym for the best fit otherwise they'll just fall out. Foam tips can also really make a difference but they'll quickly ruin in the gym The Soundcore X20 work really well as do any of the Bose buds with wings.  I also have had good experiences using the OnePlus 4 with Foam tips or the Galaxy Buds 3 with azla crystal tips. The majority of other buds just fall out or need readjusting often.

I personally like the Galaxy Buds best here with Nothing a close second. I haven't actually tried the freebuds 4 enough to comment however
