Need help choosing earbuds under ₹5k.

I previously used CMF Buds and after around 2 years the battery became almost unusable, so now long-term battery health and reliability matter a lot to me.

Currently confused between:
- OnePlus Buds 3
- CMF Buds Pro 2
- Samsung Galaxy Buds Core / Buds 2 Pro

My priorities:
- Strong ANC
- Good bass/beats
- Auto pause/play
- Long battery life
- Long-term durability (2–3 years)
- Good experience with future Samsung phones

I listen to music, movies, YouTube and sometimes gaming.

People who have used these for months or years — which one would you genuinely recommend and why?
Any battery degradation or connectivity issues?

Thanks!
