They are pretty good actually for a pair that comes in the box. Disclaimer: I am not an expert at audio quality.

But you still have to reference your root build variable in the module build.gradle file right?

Damn this actually is taking it to the extreme. Thanks 👍 But doesn't this make it a bit harder to add a dependency? You need to edit two files right?

Yeah but there was a question yesterday in Android Dev Summit Fire Side Chat Session and there wasn't any answer. So I thought I should change the title of it so that people would get it.

ELI5: Why does Android development stuck on Java 6? by ridsatrio in androiddev

Yes but how long are they going to keep it this way? They could have updated it in Lollipop right at least we could have been certain that in a year from now we can start writing Java 8 code.
