Yeah, what bus_factor said, the codecs compress it and loses a bunch of audio quality. I know because I along with friends who are not extreme audiophiles can tell the difference.

If it's truly awful you might be in phone call mode. If the microphone is enabled it switches to the phone call profile which only supports a single, extremely shitty codec, so if it sounds like you're listening to FM radio with very poor signal, you should probably switch to a microphone not attached to your headphones.

It's not terrible, it's just noticeable. Like if you were to use the same headphones with the cable you'll be like "yo, this is even better".
