What would you buy to make life easier?

My two most expensive autism-related purchases were Sony WH1000-XM5 noise cancelling headphones, and the best weighted blanket I could find. Both of them are worth every cent.

Is wearing industrial headphones as a high masking person okay?

I’ve used active noise cancelling headphones for around 3 years now and they really help me out, both in public and in private. I have Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones as well as apple airpods pro 2. The noise cancelling definitely works but it’s far from what I would like. I need to have music turned up

A warm and cozy setup after working all day in a hospital

Black and Wood color/pattern.

I specifically made sure that the theme of my setup would be warm since we all know a hospital is usually filled with bright white lights. Physicians usually read a lot of research papers and books after work so that’s basically the use of this whole thing.

Some othe

Racist for having sensory issues?

What kind of noise cancelling headphones do you have? The Sony XM4s/XM5s work great.

Slept through landing 🫠

Honestly mortified. My flight was delayed last night from DC - NY (LGA) until 11:44 pm. I boarded and basically fell asleep immediately with noise cancelling headphones on, except I was fully out and I didn’t wake up when the flight landed. The FA had to wake me up and I got so flustered in the mome

Leaving Apple ecosystem and looking for Airpod Pros alternatives. Which earbuds don’t suck across Android + Linux + Windows?

I own the Technics EAH-AZ100. Mainly because they offer a genuine ten hours of battery life. Without a case, that is. But my Sony Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones also meet all three criteria. Multiconnection – check Listen to music on A and then answer on B – check Recognized under Linux (Mint) – check P

What is the best noise canceling headphones

I have the Sony WH-1000XM5 and they’re absolutely amazing. They have the active noise cancellation so when they’re turned on and doing that it’s basically completely silent. But what I love about them so much is that the noise blocking is SO GOOD that you can put them on your ears without even turni

Headphones: I don't want to be approached but also need to hear if the sky(folding) is falling.

Most over ear headphones with a closed back will do the job. I mean, you could do an open back if you really want to hear everything around you, but there is also sound leakage with them. I’ve had numerous over ear, on ear, and IEMs ranging from 50 dollars to around a 1000 dollars. None of the over

The Bose QC 1/2 were the most comf
