Personal Must-Haves from an M1

Got a nice pair of noise-cancelling headphones based off a post like this from last year. I could KISS the people that suggested that! Makes a world of difference with recorded lectures and also in non-med school environments like airplanes. I got the Bose QC on sale for almost half price, keep an e

Finally got the QC Ultra 2nd Gen!

Paid $329 for them about 2/3 weeks ago and they’re easily the best headphones I’ve ever had. I’ve had a few different headphones/earbuds over the years. Started with first gen AirPod Pro’s in 2021, had to warranty them out I swear every 2 months (Apple replaced them 5 times under warranty), once the

Frequent Flyers - Must haves?

I am a frequent long haul traveler. Must haves: A great quality sleep mask. Manta is a great one I bought after seeing it in a social media ad. Worth it. Total blackout. Good noise canceling headphones. Personal preference but I went Bose QC ultra 2 as an upgrade to my AirPods. Better battery and wa

Does Apple even Care? Apple AirPods Max 2 vs. Sony WH-1000XM6 - SoundGuys

I bought the QC 35 and thought it was absolute garbage. Noice cancellation didn’t really work and was buggy. The plastic was so cheap quality and the cushions fell apart by looking at it. Stopped using them and cursed Bose. Many years later I found them and started looking at them more carefully and

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (second gen) vs Sony WH1000Xm6, the Blind Comparison

TL;DR: The Bose QuietComfort (QC) Ultra second-generation headphones and the Sony WH-1000XM6 are both excellent pairs of noise-canceling headphones! However, each one has its unique strengths and weaknesses, so deciding between the two will likely depend on what you want. If you want the best active

Kids crying

I keep seeing noise cancelling headphones mentioned on threads like this so excuse my hijacking, but I spent so much money on a pair of Bose QC and they don’t work at all with high pitched, intermittent crying / screaming noises! Does anyone have any recommendations? Saving up for my own private jet

Not happy with Bose QC Ultra 2

I recently bought the new Bose QC Ultra Gen 2. for 400 euros directly from the Bose. But after buying them, I'm not really satisfied. My first problem is comfort: I can't wear them longer than about 15 minutes before they start pressing on my ears and getting uncomfortable. The second problem is t
