Question Which earbuds for workout?

[Fabree]

Hi folks!
I hope you're all doing well in this crazy period. :]

So, I'd like to buy a pair of true wireless earbuds for my hardcore workouts at the gym (powerbuilding, mainly), and I could spend up to 150€ (about 168$).
The main characteristics I'm looking for are as follows:
[1] great stability (I'd prefer a model with wings. I do resistance training, but also HIIT cardio sessions)
[2] not too big (they shouldn't protrude too much)
[3] to be wireless
[4] long battery life
[5] total commands (to control volume up and down, skip to the previous or next song, play/pause)
[6] good audio quality (I have to use them mainly at the gym, so I don't pretend they have an exceptional quality. By the way, is having aptX codec really so important?)

That said, I had a look at these models:
- Mifo 05 Plus - No wings, maybe not so handy commands, no aptX
- Mifo 07 - No wings, better commands than the prior model (but a worse battery life), aptX
- AirLoop - Maybe just a little too big?
- MPOW M30 Plus - No aptX, very cheap (so, low quality?)
- Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus - No aptX (for that price range, is it convenient not to have it?), low waterproof protection (just IPX 2!)

I hope you can help me make the right decision! Thank you in advance!

With regards to your comment about"low quality", I bought SoundPEATS TrueFree + 5.0 couple of months ago and I'm truly astounded by the sound quality, especially for the price. Don't exclude a product simply on the basis of low price.

Thank you for your advice, bigboss.

The MPOW model seems to be very interesting and it has been often compared to Galaxy Buds Plus.
Probably I should have bought the Galaxy one, but is it convenient to spend about 120€ and not to have aptX codec support and a such a poor waterproof protection?
