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

aac is really underestimated since the commercial propaganda for aptx and LDAC, still aptx I want because it removes latency but sincerely... LDAC, on headphones with the audio driver literally costs 20 bucks to manufacture... yes I'm talking about those of the Sony xm5/xm4 and airpods pro 2.. they sound good, yes, very good even, wired the equivalent would be around 100 euros, I had an xm4 but the same thing they died, I tried not long ago the sound of the AirPods Pro 2 which is similar after equalization, but I took the Buds2 Pro because I have a Z Fold 5...honestly the sound of the 3 is identical after equalization, but I assure you that the difference between Mp3/aac and uncompressed, it can only be heard on my very very expensive hi-fi headphones :') eand again if your bag is very very well mixed with my eyes closed I can sometimes make a mistake
