What are your favourite noise-cancelling headphones?

Bose qc 45 over ear and sometimes (when my hair is wet or I want to move my head more freely) bose qc ultra earbuds! I have them in this dreamy blue color, moonstone, and named them my moonicorns. Wish I knew how to remove the logo from the qc 45 though.

Which earbuds have the best Noise Cancelling? (Airpods Pro 2, WF-1000XM5 or QC Ultra earbuds)?

I started wearing earbuds on noisy trains and tested AirPods Pro 2, WF1000XM5 and QC Ultra. For pure noise cancelling the WF1000XM5 impressed me most, QC Ultra is close and AirPods shine for ecosystem features. Sound wise Sony is balanced, Bose is warm and Apple is clear. I prefer the Sony fit and s

Shokz OpenDots ONE?

Very informative, thank you! I’m also considering the Bose since I have the QC Ultra earbuds and they’re running $100 off at the moment (plush I get an extra $50 off through my credit card). I’ve had the QC for about 3 years and am familiar with some of Bose’s…eccentricities, but they’ve still serve

My QuietComfort Ultras over ear is truly the best way to

Why do I love my og QC45 more than my QC Ultra? (separately, hands down love my QC Ultra earbuds)

I do like that the QC 2023 syncs with the current Bose app unlike the QC45s — I don’t actually toggle the modes much (still not a huge fan of immersive audio for some reason, I like the original non-immersive with full ANC + full wind block — same with my QC earbuds. Maybe I got used too used to it
