I want to get your opinion abt good aftermarket earphone that cost reasonable how they measure up against the iphone earphones.
I tried a few that are in the $35-$65.
I tested a few brands I went to a shop that carries a wide variety of product lines. First I set my iphone sound to "flat". Then I begin testing different earphones and play a same song. After 1 minute I swithed back to iphone earphones and I repeated this on a few brands. I honestly think the iphone sound better than the others, sound more vibrant in almost all frequencies. Have you done a similar test? In summary, no need to buy an expensive aftermarket.
 
Huh?

EarPods are ok for inclusive but there are decent IEM not sure what you were looking at or listening t

Now airpods, even tho a minor bump in SQ, are well worth true wireless imo
