Apple introduces AirPods Max 2

Sony WH-1000XM6 sounds great. But they look and feel kind of plastic and cheap, so I couldn’t convince myself to drop the big bucks on them. That’s just a personal issue. Nothing against the quality and tech of Sony.

PX7 S3 have opened my eyes (ears)

I’ve been searching for most of the year for some headphones that can fill my ear/brain void but everything I’ve tried has been problematical. Sonos Ace’s ANC feedback when typing / clicking my keyboard and mouse at my desk, Sony XM6’s hinge creaking while listening, Boss QC Ultra 2 with ANC rumblin

The most reliable thing in my life since 2020? My XM3's

Whats funny is the flagship WH-1000XM6 snaps all the time where the headband connect to the drivers. Looks like this pair got it figured out

These Are My 7th Pair of AirPods Max

Airpods Pro are in ear. Closest competition is Sony WH-1000XM6 but even they have their issues. With apple care getting max replaced should be pretty easy.

Switching from Bose QC Ultra 2 and getting WH XM6

I have a big head so I just found the xm6 uncomfortable overall. The top headband felt uncomfortable after using them for a decent amount of time. The WC XLs helped a lot on the clamping force, but it still felt uncomfortable. I prefer the heavier bass that I got when I had tried the Bose before. I

Bose qc ultra gen2 doesn't feel premium.

No, the Bose do feel kinda cheap - WAY better than the Sony XM6, but still kinda cheap. B&W Px8S2s are great, but obvs more $$

Just got my first pair of Nothing Headphones

Ok relax... The (a) is def... Not better than the 1. In every ways, even price when u take all the frequent discounts. Altho' the new colorways cant be appealing to some ppl but that's pretty much it. The Headphone 1 is still King, i competes with the top brass. XM6, Airpods max, Bose qC, AND some o

Наушники в ухо с хорошим микрофоном

А, это да, накладывает определенные сложности. Из личного опыта могу посоветовать sony wh-1000xm4, но сони в последнее время даже в премиальном сегменте делают брак. xm5 и xm6 не советую - ломаются дужки, динамик хуже, чем у четверки.

Recommendations: Hiby R1 or M300

I am looking for the same and have run into a detail I did not expect. Also coming from the Bose QC45, I was disappointed to learn that they do not support and lossless audio codecs. So that got me looking into upgrading to a newer version (QuietComfort Ultra) which does support APTX-Adaptive. But g
