I’ve been a headphone mid-fi buyer for at least 15 years now (think Denon AH-D2000, B&W P5 etc.) and it’s just also the case that lower-fi audio has greatly improved.
The sound quality AirPods or the Samsung buds deliver are simply very very competent for the price. They’re good sounding, convenient, dependable.
Contrast to the crap you used to get included with your iPod or the entry level IEM’s that were 99% bass and 100% ear pain and snapped cables.
It’s not that people enjoy crap these days. It’s just that previously you needed to spend Onkyo levels of money to get decent sound, and these days a lot less.
