Use my Scullcandy Evo 2s. They have some pretty solid bass which makes shooting games hit hard, also the mic works well and it connects to the steam deck fine.
I have a pair of SkullCandy Indy Evos ear buds that I use. The ANC and Transparency mode kind of suck on them, but overall they work pretty well if I'm just trying to play a game.
I have 3 pair of Skull Candy Indy Evos that all work great. They are currently under $25 on Amazon. They are cheap enough that I buy extras to keep all over. I charge the pair I use for dog walking
/running once every few weeks. The pair I keep on the night stand and rarely use lasts months without a charge.
I got my first pair in 2020, my second in 2022 and third in 2024. All of them act like they are brand new, aside from some slight wear on the rubber ear piece.
Note: I also have a pair of Skull Candy Dime 3s that suck, so not all are made equally.
Lol the best one didn't even make your silly list: the Skullcandy Indy series.
It's the only bluetooth earbud I've tried that 1. doesn't hurt after hours in your ear, 2. stays in while running, 3. has good sound quality. Not to mention, it has a very long battery life, comes in an active noise-cancelling version, and is stupidly affordable compared to other brands.
The only downsides are sometimes they don't pair/connect on the first try, and the active noise cancelling (which can be disabled) can cause a very annoying static sound when running through areas with certain RF signals, but I've never had that issue in a setting where noise cancelling is useful (airplanes, buildings w noisy AC, etc.), only on runs (where you shouldn't be tuning out your surroundings anyway).

Apple-integrated, great ANC, but fit issues & poor Windows support.
