Okay so I am not really a pro in these kind of things, but the first ideas that come to mind are:
- check the sound quality from another source (then you know it's not the dongle)
- check if you didn't accidentally equalise it in your app?
- maybe you know someone with similar headphones/iems?
- maybe just get your ears cleaned, if you think you have a high chance of earwax stuck in your ears. I have some friends who go almost yearly, so it could very be that you are correct with that idea. If they sound like underwater it could very well be that your ears are just full. Because it goes slowly, you don't notice it with your normal hearing

BONUS: I also have the m50x, but the pads broke down, so I bought new ones and they sounded a lot better with these! (now planar boi tho)

I normally go every 6 months, but my appointment got pushed back, so it's been 7 months now. I just didn't think it affected sound that much aside from volume alone. Just thought it was a volume dampener and a source of ear pain, not an alteration of sound quality.

I do have some devices left with a headphone jack...very few, but I'll get some music playing on those and see if I can't swap it back and forth fast enough to determine if it's really an issue. Annoying, on my phone, plugging in headphones to the dongle triggers Google Assistant, which pauses the music.

Interesting! I never had to clean my ears so good to know when its coming

Hmm I have the same phone as you (6a right?) and I use an apple dongle. I'll check my m50x with it and my normal dac + see if it also opens the Google Assistant tomorrow

Good luck man!
