Like what? I didn't know they were this good, the definition even with crappy aac is super good and you can hear every single instrument clearly, I knew people said they were good but I'm surprised apple cared so much about sound quality

and you can get the same sound for 70-80$ with wired iems

[–] LessLevel5415@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

But then you are using wired iems with no anc.

I have KZ As16 Pro and I still think Airpods Pro 2 beat them in some areas... I guess I should invest more than 100$ in Iems to beat the Pro 2s completly

And you can get none of the convenience for $70-80 with wired IEMs

People consistently making this apples to orange comparison is the dumbest thing.

Do you also point out you can drive faster in a 2 door sports car than you can a giant SUB? Probably would be a dumb comparison to make wouldn’t it?

True, I've had my fair share of wired iems but they are wired xd

I would rather not listen to music at all than work out with wired headphones again

IEMs are the most uncomfortable pieces of audio equipment

[–] weauxbreaux@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I find them significantly more comfortable than any other type of headphones
