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

Dica pra quando for comprar fone com ANC: não confie nas fabricantes

Vejo muita gente que quer comprar fone com ANC se orientando pelo número que a fabricante fornece de "até X dB de atenuação", mas isso é uma tática desonesta que é aplicada pra enganar o consumidor na hora da compra.

Muita gente não se atenta no "ATÉ", que é onde tá a pegadinha. Não é que um QCY H

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

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.

Splurges that have increased QOL?

Noise cancelling headphones. Sony XM6 headphones are the greatest technological purchase I’ve ever made.

Ughhh I’m tired

Sony WH-1000XM6 are basically the best on the market, and Amazon has them on sale for $398 right now, which is a pretty good discount. I can't recommend them enough.

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

Zerei o ANC ?

Talvez um Sony XM6 tenha um ANC melhor. Se não for suficiente, coloca o in ear dentro do XM6 e liga o cancelamento dos dois. E se for pouco, só perda parcial da audição

Apple announces AirPods Pro 3 with ‘world’s best ANC’ and heart rate sensing

Best in ear ANC. I guess Sony still has them beaten for ANC on the XM6.

Why is it that in 2026 we still can't use headphone mic + stereo in Windows 11?

LE audio also need the GMAP/Gaming profile active. For example WH-1000XM6 has LE audio, but it doesn't have the LE audio GMAP/Gaming profile, which also degrades the sound quality - or better said, while the mic sounds a lot better than classic BT, the headphones enter a phone call mode, where the a
