Nobody owns a pair of earphones any more

Really. I can't hear them over the silence produced by my bose QC ultra earbuds. I do see a lot of people walking round with big headphones on these days.

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
