Buy some bose QC35's or the 2nd generation Sony MDR-1000x for about the same price as those apple buds and they'll, as I said, be literally better in every metric.

No one cares if you're wearing larger headphones, if you look around you most people with their head screwed on right are.

Bose is just as poo poo as Apple OP. Sorry you had to find out this way.

1500 quid is right and anything over bluetooth is poo poo enough audio quality to make stuff like sennheisers and EKC and whatever other audiophile jerkoff headphones largely a waste of money. Apple airpods are a waste of money as well just because they are way too loving expensive for what they are, but like I'm not going to get mad at people for buying them. There are apparently some really good noise cancelling earbuds on AliExpress for like $70 but I haven;'t tried those out yet so YMMV.

i never said anything about how I look, i find over ear headphones uncomfortable when comuting and the fact that they have anc while being compact sounds appealing to me. i don't give a poo poo about having the best sound quality as i mainly listen to podcasts when i comute and maybe i'll use em at the gym while blasting poo poo from youtube

i wasn't going to buy a pair anyways, but seeing as you hate them so much I decided to order them!

For $20 you can't really lose
someone in the AliExpress thread recommended these as well

It's your money, do what you want but if you're not looking for audiophile quality, I bet these will meet 99% of your expectations.

I remember a study they did on wine tasters where they blindfold them and these experts were unable to accurately tell a goddamn thing about any wine they tasted- up to and including "is this wine white or red?"

Apply that to audiophiles and headphones and then go home and cry into your anime pillow if you have ever spent more than £50 on headphones because of "audio quality" (active noise cancellation is cool though so that's fine)

Those Xiaomi ones I linked earlier are just the Chinese Domestic Market versions of the exact same ones they sell here for like $100. Some electronics are fine to buy off AliExpress, you just have to do more than 30 seconds of research on what you are buying and don't buy the absolute cheapest version on the site.

Obviously yes, don't buy anything from there you would trust your life on and consider everything disposable.

You can get a very reasonably priced seatbelt from Ali Express. And fire extinguishers too. I don't understand why people say it's expensive to compete in motorsport.

Hey hey this isn't audiophile wankery dude.
Airpods (non-pro) are literally just the free earbuds apple used to supply, but without wires. They sound pretty bad to most people and you can trivially measure the difference in sound they make compared to better headphones.
If you spend £90 or so, you get the Sony MDR7506 headphones that are still used in studios today, as they offer an accurate sound.
This is how you know audiophiles are idiots, because the music they're listening to is mastered on those, but they think they need 10k headphone and amp combinations wherein said measurement techniques will fail to see an improvement, but they will nonetheless claim it's there.

If you spend £20-30 on something with a 30mm driver, or ~£100 on something with a 40-50mm driver, the difference between those and the lovely little off-the-shelf Chinese drivers apple stick in their products is very significant.

re: bluetooth audio, LDAC and aptx(HD) is a thing. The former will do lossless transmission of most(all) 44hz/16bit content. Nearly every device/headphone combination will also stream AAC audio, so if you have them compressed as AAC files on your device, they aren't re-encoded to go over bluetooth.

Everyone ITT has knowledge rooted in technology 10 years ago I swear.
