Upgraded to the Mive Style Folder 2 after daily driving the Folder 1 for months
Basically, Mive Style Folder 1 vs Mive Style Folder 2 as someone who daily drove the Folder 1.
I tried. I really tried to stay with the Mive Style Folder 1 and convinced myself that upgrading to the 2 wouldn't be worth it, that a slight hardware upgrade was not worth. But the Folder 1 just couldn't

What's the most overrated tech brand right now, and why do you think people still buy it?
Apple, because they're ignorant. Here's some examples of the insane rip off of Apple. They just came out with a new strap and case, the case is $49 or $59 depending on the choices and the strap is $59, for a $5 strap. They have a new Magsafe battery pack that has 1420mah for $99!! Woo!! you can get

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

What’s the best purchase you’ve made that noticeably improved your day-to-day life?
Three things for me. First, mom taught me to invest in good bedding. My sheets, blankets and pillows are all so wonderful that even when I stay in a nice hotel- I’ll miss my bed. Secondly, my friend gifted me these Sony ear buds the wf-1000xm5 and I never understood the hype of good headphones til o

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

"Well, since I needed a headphone, I might as well..."
...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 just tried the Apple headphones in an official Apple store and the ANC did not impress me at all. 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

I never realized I was sensory adverse until I got earplugs
Sony has really nice over-the-ear / "can" style ones. I don't know about the current competitor landscape, but I decided to get the 'Sony WH-1000XM5 Premium Noise Canceling Headphones' a couple of years ago. It's definitely an investment-level purchase ($300+, even in 2023), but I'm very happy with

Moving on from my Heavys headphone
I’ve been using my Heavys H1H for gaming and music. They’re immersive and fun but after long sessions they can get a bit heavy and some tracks feel too bass-forward for everyday listening.
I’ve started trying other headphones like Sennheiser HD 660S and Sony WH‑1000XM5. The changes in comfort, clar

My EQ settings for the Sony WH-1000XM5
Try this EQ for your XM5.
Clear bass set to +3. 400Hz left at 0. 1KHz set to +6. 2.5KHz set to +8. 6.3KHz set to +5. 16KHz set to +5.
I feel like this really opens up the XM5 and they sound quite nice. Let me know what you think.
