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?

    Were you using spatial audio (Apple’s Dolby 360) mode or something? That sound effect happens with poorly designed 360 audio.

    *I’m not a fan of Apple’s designs for audio gear. Their engineers made it clear several years ago, audio quality isn’t important them. Kind of like Spotify not having high resolution audio files.

      Nope, I had every setting turned off. They just don’t sound as loud and good as the wired IEM’s.

        Oh… yeah… you maybe noticing the loss of audio data from the audio being compressed.

        What was the output source? Which iphone?
