And they’re listening on AirPods or whatever stuck on their ear. I have AirPods 2 Pro and sure, they sound nice. Less sweaty on the treadmill. But even a $100 DJ headset from a $200 streamer blows it away.

That’s a bit apples to oranges because you’re comparing different form factors completely.

Form has a huge impact on acoustic properties and comfort.

You’d want to compare them against IEMs.

Doubt. Doubt. Doubt. Airpods Pro 2 are actually decent headphones worth the amount of money they are. They are most definitely better than $100 DJ headsets.

Sure they are quite good. My DJ headphones are Sennheiser HD25s (so $125). Night and day difference. The bass is completely different.

[hollandheese]

Yeah.. Those aren't as good or as accurate as the Airpods Pro 2. They are very bass heavy and muddle mids and highs where the Airpods Pro 2 are much more neutral in sound signature.

Now if you like it that way, great! But that doesn't mean the headphones are objectively better than the Airpods Pro 2. It just means you like those ones better.

Ha ha. Bollocks. I mean they are good for little things you stick in your ears, but ha ha.

Believe what you want, but I dare you to state your opinion in r/headphones and see how that goes for you.

I mean, if you need the backup, you do that and I’ll get popcorn. I’ve never seen anything on Reddit get agreement. Even r/FuckTedFaro had someone arguing he was just misunderstood.
