I've had the ER2XR for a while now and read posts saying the 4 isnt an upgrade from the 2, it's just different (since one is dynamic driver, one is BA). That's a lie. The 4XR is just a massive jump in clarify and detail all the way through. Separation is better and there's 0 noise or distortion whatsoever. I also find the bass on XR to be just right- good punch and good presence without taking away from the clarity of the rest of the presentation. Was on the fence since I have the XR version of 2 and thought it might be good to have the variety, but they still sound quite distinct and I'm glad I went with XR.
Had been going back and forth between the ER2XR (for fit) and Moondrop Starfield (for musicality) before but these I'm happy to just use exclusively.

Sorry for the big ugly link, my mobile browser doesn't let me lmake a hot link.
For gaming I am not sure what your needs would be, i have heard people who play shooters etc prefer 3d gaming headphones which lets them hear from which direction noises are coming etc for better performance. But if you want in-ear headphones, these are the best. But they are meant for listening to music i believe and for audiophiles... ER4 is certainly more worth it if you want to spend that much, but ER3 is really good too for almost half the price.

I used to be pretty loyal to ER, but have moved on. They do not have a great build quality (the cord in particular) and I have had too many ear tips get stuck in my ear.

Same here. The best upgrade/change I made was to use the memory foam tips
