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

    what are the best in terms of BT headphones?

    The ones that are made with the power supply limits in mind, and aim for reproducing AAC or aptx type of streams. Trying to increase the sample rates, upping some number or other, getting higher peak effect – it’s like putting a turbo on a 1l Polo or something like that. Sure, it can get you more power in certain registers. But unless you change every part of the equation, including the usage scenario and the fuel - that car is not actually going to output that power in any useful part of the register for practically all of the time you’re using it. Where you’re also going to just have more noise and whine. Maybe it’s good noise, but it’s not getting you more power on the road.

    So very svelte designs. Simple, 16ohm drivers, no extra tuning for “boost” or whatever, is going to get you the best overall results.
