Up to now I have complained about digital music. I complained that it didn’t sound as good as compact discs or records. But this is only true under certain conditions.
When I try to play digital music through an old school system (either through MDF speakers or wired headphones) the sound is average to say the least.
I bought a pair of apple 2nd Generation AirPods Pro recently and playing the same music through either the AirPods instead made the same piece of music sounds much better and natural. In fact it made music enjoyable again, reproducing the nuanced sounds more naturally.
In short, digital music from my phone is supposed to be played through something like AirPods which are designed for digital music. Old school speakers and systems are made for analog music. CDs are also designed to be played through such systems for which they were adapted.
