I use se215’s for my band (probably 3 hours a week), and they’re fine. The problem isn’t the 215’s it’s that I’m tethered to something. Thankfully I bought a wireless receiver pack which negates that problem.

I use the AirPods pretty much every day as my main device. The sound quality is poorer, but not enough to make a meaningful difference when I’m listening to music that was mixed for consumers, or podcasts recorded in a closet somewhere - which let’s face it, we mostly are.
