That's what I use most. My headphone setup is used mostly for gaming these days and I have absolutely zero complaints. Love the Sundaras and even though I have the Harmon EQ setup I never use them like that.
The reason I have so many TWS is because I use them everyday M-F while I'm at work. The Sony are probably my favorite but, just for superior ANC tech. At the moment I'm waiting for a new set from Sony as my left bud started rapidly discharging. As I understand it this is a fairly common issue and the revised /B version they're sending has newer firmware that fixes the issue. It also takes awhile for the tips to soften up which you'll hear about if you watch any review on these. The LDAC does sound better IMO on hifi recordings but it absolutely swills battery on the earbuds and phone while in use so it's not something I use.
I've been using Samsung buds since the Buds + and I've never had an issue with any of them. My Pros still sound great but, I've had them since they came out and they don't hold a charge like they did. Even the Buds Live that I just got to try while the XM4s were in RMA sound surprisingly good for something that isn't even in your ear canal but, the ANC is just a gimmick on them. Samsung buds are just comfortable and although they don't have a full EQ like the XM4 but the software is better in general. Especially when switching devices.
Now the Starfields. I only really use them if I'm hot and don't want to wear headphones. I grabbed them because at the time they were recommended everywhere and weren't too expensive. I can't say that I've ever been very impressed with these. The build is pretty cheap looking and feeling. The sound isn't bad and it isn't great. They're just OK IMO
