I just recently bought a pair of Airpod Pro 2’s and I thought they sound really good for what they are. Bluetooth link from phone gives me sound that seems extremely clear and detailed, and the noise cancellation is decent and allows me to hear the audio fairly well even when outside in the city. The only minor issue for me is the background hiss which tends to be an issue with all noise cancel tech I’ve ever tried. The hiss is immediately drowned by any audio at all, and to be frank, you’d hear some level of background noise anyway, even in an otherwise quiet environment such as a home. If you regularly buy headphones and components that cost about 10 times as much as pair of these would cost you, it is almost a rounding error for you to at least try them on somewhere.

There’s some measurement data at crinacle’s site. For instance, https://crinacle.com/graphs/iems/apple-airpods-pro-2/ has these graphs for the tonality, suggesting decent amount of bass is delivered and the tonality is pretty warm without needing to use an ear-splitting listening level. Crinacle rates these B+ quality at 2-star “value” rating because they are on the cheap side as these things go, so they are not the worst choice out there, and among the cheapest that make it to a high position in the list.

Another cheap closed-back headphone that is both affordable and should be good for bass enjoyment could be here: https://crinacle.com/graphs/headphones/akg-k371/. Fostex is also high up at least in some rankings for open back headsets, though would be lacking bass which is typical of a dynamic driver headset. There’s nothing good and cheap in closed-back and the Mk2 seems to not have been measured @ crinacle yet, and it is also very expensive. You could buy about 10 of these AKG K371s for the cost, and data suggests they might be the better headphone.
