Underwhelmed with the AirPods Pro 2 coming from my Kiwi Ears Cadenza (alien.top)

Just bought the new AirPods 2 at a discount and I’m kinda disappointed. They sound like they have a concert Hall effect, sort of echo-ish… Made me order some Moondrop Arias instead. Will I be satisfied?

APP2 aren't bad, but I'd never expect them to compare to even entry level IEMs in terms of sound. You're paying for convenience, form factor, and features.

The aria is by all accounts fine, although maybe a little dated now. The IEM market moves at a blistering pace, and there are now arguably better options at the same or lower price points.
