A lot of sane improvements to the case (added speaker, lanyard loop, full U1 Find My support), good to see. They tout "H2 Apple Silicon, amazing sound quality with Adaptive EQ," but I can't find any reference to lossless audio in the tech specs, which is a bit of a disappointment.

It's surely ironic that Apple Music supports 24/192 lossless audio and none of its headphones can utilize it.

That’s ok - very few ears can utilize it either ;-)

True! But, someone is saying you can come close to it by using a wired connection. I've not tested it though.

This isn't true; it's better than the first and possibly better than the second. It's a very good $9 dongle.
