I easily pick them over my hd-25 or v-moda xs when im in bed. Any of my recent phones drives them very well. Or may be im just perpetually high.

The EarPods sound really not bad when it's feed with some decent source, I tried that on the WM1Z, Mojo & some Schiit's amps, I am very please with it.

I just, out of curiosity, plugger a pair of stock earpods (not to be confused with airpods) into my iphone. They had soundstage I'm not used to hearing on any bust the best of IEMs (though which rears its head on most decent earbuds), the tonal balance was a bit mid-centric, but still managed to sound muddy, the bass and treble were rolled off, and they sounded congested.....but way, way better than I remember $20 sound being.

I compared them to my LZ-A4's, which won in every category, but the difference wasn't nearly as large as it was when I got into the hobby, some five years ago.

I seriously question whether I've lost my touch.

Lately I have been impressed with the Earpods. Not sure if they have had silent revisions but they sound pretty good. I love them for the gym or the PS5 Dualsense.
