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

Unfortunately, they're only good on Apple products.

I enjoyed them on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. Then I switched to a Samsung S23 Ultra and holy fuck, the drop in quality was immediately noticeable. So much so, I sold them. They became useless and my £20 Chi-Fi IEMs sounded better.

For the price you pay for them, you can get vastly better audio quality elsewhere.

Strangely my app2 sounds better on my s23 vs my iPhone 15. Same settings in Apple Music for both phones.

(Don’t quote me on this, I may be incorrect) I think the AAC used on android is worse and that may be it, it could also be Apple doing eq on Apple devices only, or both
