Well I love my redmi buds 5 and I got some real small ears. Hard to get online as they were discontinued. Better luck finding them on olx

I go with Redmi Buds 5, they are super convenient with their small factor and long lasting battery time (achieving 35-37 hours with their case consistently)

Using Redmi Buds 5 Decent Device. Noise Cancelling also good compared to products in that range. Fits and Seals ear Promptly. Battery Life Depend I normaly use 5-10 Hours Only charge it 1-2 Times per week. Using since year now Still good!

Never had a different pair of AirPods other than the Pro 2 but the ones I had from other brands with silicone tips pushed themselves out of my narrow ear canal very easily (Samsung Buds pro, Redmi buds 5, Soundcore p20i). The AirPods Pro 2 are the best I’ve had and they stay the longest comparing to the others.

I use the PS5 Pulse Elite headset mainly. The dongle reduces the latency. The audio is great but it's a bit expensive and doesn't have ANC or tuning. I also used the Soundcore Q35 and I think it's also exellent. It can be used plugged with 3.5mm for minimal delay or bluetooth, it has ANC with transparency and touch to hear. It uses a phone app to manage it and it has dual pairing so you can use it with the switch alongside (that features causes more latency probably). The Redmi Buds 5 have similar features to the Soundcore, but they're In Ear Buds. I think most Buds / Buds Pro from 5 and up have a gaming mode for low latency.

Baseus ma10 is pretty decent if you EQ it correctly on wavelet or the redmi buds 5/6–have great soundstage so you can also consider those too aside from the aforementioned earbuds here.

I’m going to come In with a controversial opinion. I got a pair of Xiaomi redmi buds from Ali. Didn’t expect much for the $26AUD that I paid but they are solid. Mic quality is more than acceptable, music quality is ok, a little on the bassy side. But overall I’m very happy. I’ve got some nice Bose over ears for general listening and some shure IEMs for traveling, but the fact I don’t have to worry too much about these little things is nice. I use them almost daily.
