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?

That's the opposite of my experience with the APP2 lol. Without spatial audio or headphone accommodations turned on I feel like they sound dead and borderline claustrophobic, requiring high listening level to sound any good. Not to say their implementation of spatial audio is good, I mostly consider it a gimmick, but it sounds to me like you might have had it turned on.
