(I’ve got a pixel watch 2 and moto edge 40 neo, and some jlab earbuds.)

I usually listen to music on my phone, but recently linked my earbuds to my watch, and the same music played on Spotify sounds massively better on the same earbuds when played via the watch.

I assumed it was because I had installed the jlab app, and it was doing a bad job of meddling with the eq. But after uninstalling it there wasn’t a noticeable difference. Is there some other setting I can adjust? Any thoughts on whether it’s something my moto is doing wrong or something my pixel watch is doing right?

Its a substantial difference (although I’m not enough of an audiophile to describe it) enough that I’m now mostly playing music via my watch. But it’s hitting the battery hard, so I’d rather go back to using my phone!
