If you prioritize sound quality for music and TV with a very good comfort for longer sessions, the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro (80 ohm) is well-suited, especially if a wired connection is acceptable, but you'll be compromising on portability and built-in controls. Alternatively, if you prefer wireless earbuds with good sound quality for music and gaming, Active Noise Cancelling for traveling, and features like sweatproof certification for exercising, the Creative Labs Aurvana Ace 2 might be the better option, although these may be less comfortable during extended use and less suited for calls and meetings due to just fair mic quality.
