There's nothing wrong with not liking them. Why would you force yourself to like something that didn't wow you? Neutral doesn't necessarily mean it's the best for you.
It also helps that the APP2 is fairly competent for its price and even the popular audiophile reviewers praise it.
The airpods are also sub-bass monsters which very few headphones have in this price range.
Yeah bro you had spatial audio turned on, turn that shit off and test again.
The Cadenzas don't compare with those Airpods at all. Every time I put them on I'm reminded how much better the Airpods sound. Its just okay(Cadenzas) for its price point.
