Is this an analog vs digital thing? Bluetooth runs at a high enough bitrate that most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference. And especially compared to the quality of the cabled headphones that used to be common any Bluetooth earphone is better
Cabled headphones have gotten a lot better and cheaper, and no it's a compression thing, here's an article about it

And as I said, they have bitrates high enough that most people won't notice a difference. Especially since the files/steaming they'll be listening to have lower bitrate than Bluetooth.
Regardless, what matters most is the earphone quality and while there might be better and cheaper options now, that's not the cheap bundled headphone people are nostalgic of when they post things like this.
Apple Earpods are very high quality actually, and are praised as a good cheap option by audiophiles
