Noise cancelling headphones recommendations
Bose Quiet Comfort ULTRA. Ultra. Ultra. With the extra spend. I also love my AirPod Max's. They're a bit heavier but also nice. The Bose QCU are light and loud. Or put on the ANC and a 432Hz flow and you won't hear a kitten mewing beside you.

Momentum 4 looking like a pretty good deal right now
Bose QC Ultra Headphones 2nd Gen are my favorite of all of the premium wireless ANC headphones. Bass shelf can easily be reduced with the Bose app. But the masses will love this out of box tuning.

Already starting to hate these headphones (Melomania P100)
You bought a wireless pair of headphones to use them as a wired pair of headphones, but also to use in bed? I think someone needed to do more research before making a purchase. These are, outside of absolute ANC and transparency performance, amongst the best pair of wireless headphones I’ve tried, i

Waiting for the M5 announcement
Same! I'm so hyped about them, and specifically about them fulfilling the following criteria: Sound at least as good as the Momentum 4 Have significantly better ANC, better than the Momentum 4 and HDB 630, ideally at least something that's gonna feel like it's either as good or almost as good as the

Best ANC headphones for Apple users: AirPods Max 2 vs Sony WH-1000XM6 vs Bose QC Ultra 2
My opinion is Bose all around. I have tested the QC ultra 2 and I currently own the qc ultra 2 earbuds and the best ANC is gonna come from the QC over any of the other options. I’ve heard countless stories from people about the xm6 and it being either a regret buy or something that was returned if i

How Does MacBook Neo Cost Less Than Apple’s AirPods Max 2 Headphones?! - CNET
So which Bluetooth anc headphones follow the curve all the way and not have any dropped off? I'm not sure. You'd have to research it. The Bose Quiet Comfort 45's do pretty good up to about 8k (follow the red and green lines), which is forgivable compared to Apple dropping the ball at 1k. The Bose QC

Which In-Earbud? Bose QC Ultra (2nd Gen) or AirPod Pro 3???
I work in a noisy, awful office and disliked my airpod pro 2s. I'm sure they upgraded the noise cancellation somewhat, but the buds were uncomfy too. I went to Bose QC ultra gen 1 (bc sale) and oh my God. The difference in noise cancellation was incredible.

Red eye etiquette rant
I've better luck with Bose QC buds (wired and wireless) and white noise in places like offices, not so much on planes. But thank you for reminding me I need to find a new noise app since mine went full subscription when I went to use it for the crying babies in my other comment. I've been wondering

If you can miss the money for commuting just get the bose qc ultra 2nd gen they are better sounding and just a tad worse anc will still being top tier, mostly regarded as the most complete headphone wireless of last year its almost always qcu 2- 1 hdb630- 2 and then the other wireless ones

ANC Headphones? What do you use/recommend
I had XM5s before, but they broke. They were pretty good, and broke because I'm a dumbass, and not a manufacturing defect. As a replacement, I got myself a pair of Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2 Over-ear headphones. I'm NT, but my partner is autistic. They had inherited my "old" XM4s, but when they tried
