Not just the quality of the equipment you're listening with.
But also the quality of equipment the video has been recorded with.
Regardless of both these factors, the video is being hosted by YouTube who are notorious for compressing the quality of their audio streams to reduce bandwidth/storage overheads.
I'd imagine that 90-ish% of the folk watching that video are doing so on their phones. A large percentage of them using their shitty apple earpods.
And even with all those variables aside, the cost of an instrument isn't necessary commensurate with its tone. Mexican Fender Standard Precision basses often sound a hell of a lot better than their American Standard counterparts.
Rantlet over.
