What would you buy to make life easier?

My two most expensive autism-related purchases were Sony WH1000-XM5 noise cancelling headphones, and the best weighted blanket I could find. Both of them are worth every cent.

Just trying to make it thru this flight…

When I take them off I'm always like "damn most of y'all are just raw dogging this WHRRERERREEERRR sound for 12 hours?" My Sony XM5s take it from loud to downright forgettable if I have content playing. Now I have an OLED laptop so I just sit back and enjoy my mini cinema experience on a long flight

Is wearing industrial headphones as a high masking person okay?

I’ve used active noise cancelling headphones for around 3 years now and they really help me out, both in public and in private. I have Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones as well as apple airpods pro 2. The noise cancelling definitely works but it’s far from what I would like. I need to have music turned up

Need a headphone that can blast deathcore and survive the gym

I've had the Sony WH-1000XM5 for years now and a million gym sessions. Had beats before that which would constantly break or have parts fall off. They so far haven't missed a beat

"Well, since I needed a headphone, I might as well..."

...get the official SONY×Blue Archive edition of WH-1000XM5!

Hear me out, this is a wise financial decision. I have a 5 year old ATH-M50xBT that I got as a college entrance gift for myself. It served me well, but I noticed the earmuffs crumbling away and none of the genuine and aftermarket earmuffs

Slept through landing 🫠

Honestly mortified. My flight was delayed last night from DC - NY (LGA) until 11:44 pm. I boarded and basically fell asleep immediately with noise cancelling headphones on, except I was fully out and I didn’t wake up when the flight landed. The FA had to wake me up and I got so flustered in the mome
