Of course to make this strawman argument you have to ignore the previous comment that says you can do wired connections just over a different port type.
Let’s also ignore any understanding of the DAC quality between older iPods and newer iPhones, where even the dongle Apple sell are considered a high quality DAC.
Let’s also ignore any advances in Codecs in that time, or advances in audio hardware itself.
Let’s also ignore that most iPod users would have bought low quality MP3s or medium quality AACs at the time. Not to mention that most customers use streaming today so wouldn’t even be able to take advantage of the higher quality codecs today.
Finally let’s ignore customer preferences and what niche set of customers would have bought high end enough audio equipment and have the hearing to appreciate and also not want wires today to even fall into your narrow band description.
Who would have thought that if you ignore all aspects that are inconvenient to an argument that you could make any argument you want?
And they’re listening on AirPods or whatever stuck on their ear. I have AirPods 2 Pro and sure, they sound nice. Less sweaty on the treadmill. But even a $100 DJ headset from a $200 streamer blows it away.

Doubt. Doubt. Doubt. Airpods Pro 2 are actually decent headphones worth the amount of money they are. They are most definitely better than $100 DJ headsets.
Yeah.. Those aren't as good or as accurate as the Airpods Pro 2. They are very bass heavy and muddle mids and highs where the Airpods Pro 2 are much more neutral in sound signature.
Now if you like it that way, great! But that doesn't mean the headphones are objectively better than the Airpods Pro 2. It just means you like those ones better.
I mean, if you need the backup, you do that and I’ll get popcorn. I’ve never seen anything on Reddit get agreement. Even r/FuckTedFaro had someone arguing he was just misunderstood.
