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

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.

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

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.

Splurges that have increased QOL?

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

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

Microsoft is promising to make Bluetooth audio much better in Windows 11

Turns out that is because Microsoft hasn't been keeping up with bluetooth standards. Nah. Bluetooth standards are complete trash. Their standard has been incompetent for more than 25 years now and I'm convinced they're trying to make it to 35. LE audio was supposed to deliver this feature, It sort o

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.

Kuo: Lighter Version of AirPods Max to Enter Mass Production in 2027

Well what you’ve said sounds nothing like “being outclassed by the competition for so long” They are headphones that play sound. Age isn’t as much of a factor as your head is making it seem. Even when compared to the newest XM6s they have: On par distortion On par timbre Much Better ANC with low end
