Noise-canceling headphones recommendations

sony xm4 or 5 are a really solid option! I prefer them to Airpod Max as they’re way lighter and easier to wear for longer periods

Kopfhörer Empfehlung?

Würde beim Fahrradfahren eher von Overear abraten. Beim Sport auch meist nicht optimal. Allgemein kann ich aber die Sony WH-1000xm4 empfehlen.

Best wireless earbuds you have for daily use and music?

Sony WF-1000XM4 are the best and most comfortable IMO. I did upgrade them to the XM5 but actually I regret that move and should have stayed with the XM4. On Android they work with LDAC lossless audio. You only get AAC on iPhone but it's still pretty good.
