To compare, Costco's online brand-new Beats Studio Pro headphones come for $200, including AppleCare. In January, I had purchased them in-store for $180. Here's the link: https://www.costco.com/Beats%20St...ue&nf=true

Yeah, and it also was just $170 recently at many retailers including Costco. Not sure if it's still at $170.
I am a very avid collector in bluetooth devices - currently i have 34 since I started counting from 2 years ago.
I've owned several beats items but they've all been extremely shoddy and poor quality as the reviews have stated and I usually give them away to my coworkers' kids or the like since they seem to appreciate them.
Beats, Sonos, Jlabs, JBL, Jabra, skullcandy and apple are all low quality audio device manufacturers that focus on branding rather than quality.

airpods are terrible in terms of sound quality compared to others.
They're typically rated in the 5 or 6 out of 10 on most audiophile forums - their main focus is on mic quality through software and they did that very well but overall sound quality is poor.
It is what it is. Apple intentionally overprices their devices. Airpod teardowns reveal that they're only made up of $30-50 worth of materials but they're sold at $180-220+ due to branding/marketing. It's been 8 years and gen1 airpods are still worth 100+ and those ones are made with much more inferior quality materials than the current models.
The only exception imo would be their headphones due to the build quality but even then the sound quality is but a 7 or 8 out of 10 at best.

Audio is subjective, is your personal opinion. Apple airpods 2 pro, have been great sounding. Much better than audiophile name brand which i',ve bought and returned cause i get caught up with personal reviews like yours.
I have a fioo k5, with sennheiser hd650, hd580s,bd 900 pro x, akg k701. Many othets to compare high quality audio.
Also beats solo pro, were freaking great sounding. And i do own the sony xm4 to compare with.

These headphones should be $20-30 for the quality that they are.
For $120 these vastly underperform even $50-$80 chinesium headphones (anker, soundcore, etc.), which is sad.
These are supposed to be on-par with Sony XM5s and Bose QC35 IIs but don't even come anywhere close.
That's not including the poor build quality and
