Waiting for the M5 announcement

Same! I'm so hyped about them, and specifically about them fulfilling the following criteria: Sound at least as good as the Momentum 4 Have significantly better ANC, better than the Momentum 4 and HDB 630, ideally at least something that's gonna feel like it's either as good or almost as good as the

Best ANC headphones for Apple users: AirPods Max 2 vs Sony WH-1000XM6 vs Bose QC Ultra 2

My opinion is Bose all around. I have tested the QC ultra 2 and I currently own the qc ultra 2 earbuds and the best ANC is gonna come from the QC over any of the other options. I’ve heard countless stories from people about the xm6 and it being either a regret buy or something that was returned if i

Which In-Earbud? Bose QC Ultra (2nd Gen) or AirPod Pro 3???

I work in a noisy, awful office and disliked my airpod pro 2s. I'm sure they upgraded the noise cancellation somewhat, but the buds were uncomfy too. I went to Bose QC ultra gen 1 (bc sale) and oh my God. The difference in noise cancellation was incredible.

The bass is out of this world

What an objective piece of shit headset. As someone who spends far, far more time with headphones than average (I travel for work; 150+ flights a year), you DO NOT want them this loud with that much bass. Fast way to get tinnitus/hearing loss. High quality active noise cancelling (ANC) is king. Redu

Doubts About Bose QC Ultra 2

I've had the xm3 for 10 years. After spending 2 months testing all the headphones I could get my hands on, last month and settled on the QC ultras. I was happy with them but not thrilled. So I took them back a couple of days later and got the Gen 2. Immediately had the wow factor I was looking for.

Best ANC headphones for Apple users: AirPods Max 2 vs Sony WH-1000XM6 vs Bose QC Ultra 2

Did you notice any plastic creaking/cracking noises on the XM6? Do you think the ANC in the Bose QC Ultra 2 is still a noticeable upgrade over my old QC35 II?I know the XM6 might be better overall for ANC, but comfort is also very important to me, especially for long work sessions. To be honest, I'm

Bose QC ultra gen 2 vs Sony WH-1000XM6

I had the xm6 for about 3 days, and returned because the driver touched my ear and caused pain after about an hour. The earcups are too shallow for me. Got the QCU gen 2 and love everything about them. Much more comfortable. ANC is as good as sony. Sound might be a tie or a slight edge for Sony, but

QC Ultra Gen2 for travel?

I tried the following before I decided on the pair which wont be popular in this sub: Sonos Ace, Bose QCU 1 and 2, Sony XM4, XM5, XM6, JBL Tour One M3. I fly alot, so ANC was most important. Comfort: I found the Ace most comfortable, but all of them were comfortable for me. ANC: XM6 followed closely

Convince me to get a Bose QCU over XM6

Ive had my XM6 for about under two months. I just bought a pair of refurbished QCU from the Bose website. Im going to take the latter for a test drive at the trampoline park later. If the ANC works as good there as the XM6 did, I am returning the XM6. While the sound and ANC of the XM6 are great, I
