Momentum 4 looking like a pretty good deal right now

Bose QC Ultra Headphones 2nd Gen are my favorite of all of the premium wireless ANC headphones. Bass shelf can easily be reduced with the Bose app. But the masses will love this out of box tuning.

Noise cancelling headphones recommendations

Bose Quiet Comfort ULTRA. Ultra. Ultra. With the extra spend. I also love my AirPod Max's. They're a bit heavier but also nice. The Bose QCU are light and loud. Or put on the ANC and a 432Hz flow and you won't hear a kitten mewing beside you.

Is it crazy that I still prefer my 10-year-old QC 35s over the new QC Ultras?

QC lineup is a try tested and true to Bose roots design. Even the current 2023 QuietComfort headphones are based on the design of the qc15, The very minimal changes at all since that model back in the early 2000s. The Ultra models Gen 1 or Gen 2 are plagued with problems. Unreliable touch controls,

Px8s2 on the plane

I bought a pair of the Bose QC Ultra 2 headphones to replace my overly heavy AirPod Max. The Bose and the AirPods were roughly the same when it came to ANC. But the Bose sounded terrible. Music sounded compressed, like it was never truly quiet and distinct parts of the music were blurred over. While

Bose’s new QuietComfort headphones get flagship tech for less

This looks very promising. I was interested in the QC for its design and physical buttons but ended up with the QC Ultra (gen 1) for the better ANC. If this has Bose's best ANC along with physical buttons these are the headphones for me especially if they mitigate noise spikes better (I have upstair

What iems? (bear with me)

ok... Headphones. Closed back helps. A lot. Beyerdynamic makes the DT770 which is a bit on the warm side but amazing bang for your buck and very comfy. Shell out a bit more and there's the DT700. About as comfortable, still blocking a ton of outside noise but a truckload more detail. Someone will pr
