    I always disliked Bluetooth headphones until I got a Sennheiser Momentum 4 with Bluetooth 5. The difference is immediately noticeable.

      I mean I have a media center off center in a room with 2 glass walls, one brick, and one gyprock. I obviously am not hanging towels over my beautiful windows.

      Bluetooth 5, a 2.1 fosi amp, and some cheap Edifier speakers sounds completely fine on the couch 2 meters away. There’s no point putting in more effort imho because any subtle improvements are completely drowned out by echoes, dogs barking, neighbours mowing, the wind rattling doors and windows or whatever.

      I am completely on side with people who think shitty earbuds with crackle or overpriced Logitech speakers are a sadness. I think most “audiophiles” are sucked in by marketing and very few are doing the necessary accoustic setup for most of what they’re buying to matter.
