It's very common for these ecosystem based buds to sound terrible when used with a device that isn't in the ecosystem.
Many of you probably haven't tried AirPods outside of being connected to an iPhone. They sound like crap (not that they were good to begin with).
The same applies to Galaxy Buds. When connected to a Samsung device that has Samsung's lossless codec, they sound amazing. When used with a device that doesn't have this codec, they have to fall back to using SBC or AAC (same crappy codec Apple uses) and they lose all fidelity.
Bottom line: If you don't have a device in that ecosystem, stop going for ecosystem based peripherals.
It makes as much sense as buying Honda accessories for a Toyota.

It's funny as this is about the same price as always, I got mine free with a pixel phone but have watched these and would pick another pair up for the right deal!

Luckily, the batteries are really cheap to replace and iFixit gave them a pretty good repairability score, if I recall.
Any recommendations on these other buds
