Best Buy has geek squad refurb Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro for $67. Cheaper than the last go around.
They are generally my favorite bud for overall use and when flying. My Buds+ fit better for running, and I did try doing the reverse trick on the Pro. Fit better, but still a no go for running.
If you have a Samsung galaxy product the sound quality is top notch with their scalable codec. The ANC is nice for flights and does well enough I don't bother bringing my full size Sony's.
I own quite a few. It's definitely a bad habit. Currently in the stable are the Buds Pro, Buds Plus, Jabra 75T Active, 1More ColorBuds 2, KZ SKS and the QCY T16. The QCY are the sleepers for cheap buds. Just picked up a 2nd pr off Ali for under $21. Left my case behind at the gym and someone snagged it or tossed it. So now I'll have a backup pair of buds.
The Samsung and Jabra's don't like the sauna. They beep and shut down in less than 10 minutes. The 1more and China pairs just keep going. The KZ SKS are probably the cheapest and nicest sounding hybrid (dual driver) ones for $25 or under. Each brings a little something different to the table.
And down the road, I'd lean towards BT 5.2 buds as they'll most likely work with the new codec replacing SBC which should bring a sound quality improvement and possibly bring it more in line with aptx. Hoping the ColorBuds 2, SKS & T16 see it.

Is there a samsung app where one can see how long they've been used, like their drives =D?

Fyi serial number is on the bud itself if they check for a match to the box/what they have in record that they sent you, you'll be caught.

That's a big "if". Amazon has way too much volume coming in to be this diligent, they verify by weight. Plus they genuinely dgaf.
You do know what serial numbers are right?
Ahhh yes, caring about ethics towards the beacon of decency that is Amazon
