I was unaware that my headphone experience as impaired in some way.

I exclusively use non Apple headphones and I have no issues. I had AirPods for a while and I don’t remember them being better.

They have nifty apple-only features, like you can hold them close to the iPhone and they'll pop up and pair with a neat UI.

It's mostly gimicky, but it does give the user the impression that the apple Air pods are higher quality because they have all these things thought out. In actuality, Apple just made it so they're the only ones who can do that.
