Very disappointed in audio quality of Powerbeats Pro 2, anyone else?

I don't know if I got a lemon or something but these things sound TERRIBLE to me. I'm testing by switching back and forth between my v1 Powerbeats and these new ones, and the new ones sound so tinny and bad.

I just got the Powerbeats Pro 2, and I’m disappointed. Any recommendations?

I am pretty disappointed with the sound quality with the Powerbeats Pro 2. I love my original Powerbeats pro but these almost feel like a downgrade. Would anyone recommend a similar style of earbuds that has a good mic and good bass? I am honestly thinking of returning these for something better.
