Personal Must-Haves from an M1

Got a nice pair of noise-cancelling headphones based off a post like this from last year. I could KISS the people that suggested that! Makes a world of difference with recorded lectures and also in non-med school environments like airplanes. I got the Bose QC on sale for almost half price, keep an e

Headphones that don’t hurt after 15 minutes??

Bose Quiet Comfort. I sleep in them even ETA: you can buy the older models on Amazon. I have Bose QC 35s and have been sleeping in them since 2021 and they work great. I’ve just had to switch out the ear pads a few times when they get stinky or crack

Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra Headphones Gen 1 vs Gen 2 quick take

Went with QC Ultra after 4 years of Sony WH XM4

I was so torn between the Sony WH-1000XM6 and the Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra to replace my 4-year old Sony WH-1000XM4.

I purchased these with my hours long of usage in mind, and I think my ears will start t

Apple AirPods Max 2 review: What happened to "Think Different"? - SoundGuys

My OG AirPods Max went missing in an airport… I decided to shake things up and get the Bose QC Ultra headphones. I feel sort of silly for ever even buying the AirPods now… they are just so much more comfortable, lighter, and better sounding. They are missing the Apple smooth transition chip, but tha

Finally got the QC Ultra 2nd Gen!

Paid $329 for them about 2/3 weeks ago and they’re easily the best headphones I’ve ever had. I’ve had a few different headphones/earbuds over the years. Started with first gen AirPod Pro’s in 2021, had to warranty them out I swear every 2 months (Apple replaced them 5 times under warranty), once the
