In the audio, păianjen and păianjeni sound the exact same. Is the audio wrong or is this how they are actually pronounced?

Like most Romanian words that end with an i, it's a very soft i sound. It is in the audio if you listen carefully.

They sound the same to me too, but I'm thinking that N at the end of the plural might be palatalized.
