...get the official SONY×Blue Archive edition of WH-1000XM5!
Hear me out, this is a wise financial decision. I have a 5 year old ATH-M50xBT that I got as a college entrance gift for myself. It served me well, but I noticed the earmuffs crumbling away and none of the genuine and aftermarket earmuffs

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

I own or have owned: Sony WH XM4 Sony WH XM5 Sony WH XM6 Bose QC 1 and 2 The WH XM6 is clearly superior overall. The ANC is something to behold compared to the rest. The Bose QC 1/2 were the most comf

The extra compartment for the Sony WH-1000XM5’s case is a great spot to also keep your WF-1000XM4. 😄

Seeking a recommendation for over-the-ear headphones 🎧
The Sony wh…XM line passed Bose in noise cancellation years ago. I have the XM4s and they can be had for like $160 now. Skip the xm5s as they don’t fold. The xm6s fold but they are the latest and greatest and $300. My xm4s are going strong after 4 years now. Absolutely love them.

Headphones/ear buds for one bagging
Hey ya’ll
I’m a recovering chronic over-packer and on my first official international one bag trip. Two weeks in Europe split between Valencia Spain and Amsterdam/Antwerp.
I’m currently using a 40L babboon to the moon duffel/backpack. It’s a bit large and I definitely packed some items I won’t nee

Extremely disappointed with the noise canceling of the Sony WH-1000XM5
Recently bought the WH-1000XM5 and oh my God, the ANC is far worse than I expected after reading reviews online.
It's better than nothing for sure, but that's about it.
Someone talking, a child crying, a phone ringing or your own mouse clicks? Yeah, all of that will be perfectly heard even when A

Any gear recomendations that make life easier?
One thing I didn’t expect to use as much as I do is the Anker PowerCore Portable Charger it’s saved me so many times when I’m out all day. Also a good pair of noise-cancelling headphones like the Sony WH-1000XM5 makes a huge difference for focus or travel.

Is there a noise cancelling solution for apartment living that actually works?
Sorry this is so bad. I am really sensitive to noise. Here’s my starter pack This fan sits near my bed on a shelf. It’s been running nonstop since September 2024. It’s my first line of defense! Another fan would be fine; I got this one because I read reviews that said they didnt have issues with it
