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.

(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
