Same with the headphones. I got a WH-1000xm3 that all reviews praise for sound quality and it sounds like complete shit, muffled, over emphasizing bass, no clarity. You're supposed to "fix" it using EQ. And you can't even adjust eq if you want to use the bettter audio codecs. If I paid the original list price for this i would be furious | ||

> all reviews praise for sound quality objectively or compared to similar bluetooth, noise-cancelling headphone? Most of the reviews I heard agree that even a mid-tier IEM or wired headphone beats shit out of them. | ||

One thing you can try with headphones is changing the earpads: specifically the shape, but maybe also the material. I have Shure SRH840A headphones, and out-of-the-box I was NOT happy with the sound. Someone suggested trying different aftermarket earpads, and I found a pair of "angled" pads that changed the sound quality to exactly what I wanted. I was surprised how dramatic the effect was. The pads are huge and look ridiculous, but I only use these headphones at home so it's fine. | ||
