This will cheer you up - go to Cambridge Audio and obtain a set of Melomania Touch ... I'm not going to tell you the price, you won't believe me or think it's a sign that the price is because they aren't up to much ...You'd be wrong !! There is a splendid app ('Melomania') to download and the equaliser is great. If ever you have owned audio/Hi-Fi seperates you will know what I mean when I say the sound quality is like a separates set up but packed into those very styli ear pieces ...
I am an auto mechanic and was recently given a set of the new Air-pods as a thank you for repairing a friends car, I had heard the hype prior to me going down the Cambridge route but resisted as I never thought the 'wired' sets were up to much - was I glad I made that decision! If it's deafening you want with a sound that is just a loud distorted poor quality sound then fill your boots ... but the Cambridge Audio Melomania Touch came in at around half the price of the Air-pods and in my honest opinion ...blew them out of the water ...
You will not be disappointed if you get the Melomania's but you will have a greater number on your bank balance ... The CEO makes a mission statement on the web site and inside the box and you know what - I believed him and it turns out there IS a company out there that aren't just concerned about the almighty currency, they are music people and the sound quality mattered !!
