If you want to stop your neighbor's bass at night do this:

Here's what I do - I live next to noisy bar and lost my mind for about a year straight, until I bought Sony WH-1000XM6 for noise blocking and sleep with them. I also bought a pillow designed to sleep with headphones - I use an amazon brand called lelefido. Lastly, I have a small fan, an AC unit, and

Sennheiser HDB 630 Quick Impressions

Just got these in and wow — out of the box they sound superb. The tuning is really neutral and everything comes together seamlessly. The bass has great extension and presence — it adds solid weight and heft to the music without bleeding into the mids or muddying up vocals. Speaking of vocals, they’r

Any recommendations for Over-ear Noise Cancelling Headphones (for the SkyTrain)

Sony WH-1000XM6 are absolutely wild, best ANC I’ve used, comfy for hours, and the sound stays clean even when you crank it.

My dear 5yr old Elite Active 75t earbuds are dying... Now what?

If you have fine motor skils, some tweezers, and good eyes or magnification, you can swap the batteries. I just did it and posted about it here. If need the conductive tape I would be glad to send you a piece (I have a big roll I'll never use). I've not found a good alternative. Possibly the Sony XM

How to get better IRL

The best and simplest advice is so slow down. There’s usually no rush. If anything PTCGL rushes you more than IRL. I do struggle sometimes with sensory overload/deprecation so I always have my headphones on (Sony XM6) on the “transparency” mode. My local group never minded that so I’ve been rocking

Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones in the cinema listening mode often makes stories sound incredible

I'm a fairly recent adopter of Big Finish, and in the past few months I realized my headphones were too small for my deceptively massive skull and pointy, oblong ears. I sorta look like if Spike from Buffy blended with the brothers from Prison Break were a Romulan/Vulcan, which is either an accurate

My experience with 7 different audio devices for tinnitus masking and sleep (over-ear, in-ear, bone conduction, and sleep masks)

I noticed a lot of people asking about what sound devices to use for masking and sleeping lately, so i wanted to share my experiences with the devices i tested over the years. These are just my experiences, everyone is different, but i hope this helps some of you.

A bit of context: I don't use in-e

DMS has just compared the M4 (80th Anniversary Edition), the Sony WH-1000XM6 and the Nothing Headphone (1)...

Not sure I agree with everything he says in the video, but of course I don’t have to - it’s his review and his personal opinion. I still found it to be an interesting watch and a good point of discussion for us here as well.

It’s nice to see the M4 still being compared to much more recent wireless

Best Headphones/Noise Canceling

Sony WH-1000XM6. I worked in an open office with a dude who acted like he was presenting to a conference every time he would take a Teams call, and they were better than any I tried before. They are multipoint and from what I’ve seen, work much better if you’re a dual Windows and iPhone user, versus
