Do you guys bring headphones or earbuds for travel?

I have Sony XM4s… I’m in Australia so going anywhere is very long flights, layovers and more flights. Noise cancellation is amazing, battery life is amazing. They live around my neck or very top of my bag. Yes, very bulky but worth it for me

Airplane Vs Travel Items

I have Sony WH-1000XM4, but I find myself carrying them less and less to the point where they've been relegated to long haul international flights only. My earbuds do the noise cancelling job 80% as well, they're 80% as comfortable and 5% as large. Trade off in most instances is worth it.

Wireless earbuds when flying

Sony WH-1000XM4 came with two audio cables for airplane use. Fantastic headphones for a long flight.

Kopfhörer Empfehlung?

Würde beim Fahrradfahren eher von Overear abraten. Beim Sport auch meist nicht optimal. Allgemein kann ich aber die Sony WH-1000xm4 empfehlen.

What compact over ear headphones do you travel with?

I travel with Sony XM3 all the time, and I don't bring the case at all. Just fold the head phone and store it at the very top of my backpack, never ran into risk of breaking it after a few trips. If the XM6 is too expensive for now, maybe consider downgrade to XM4 which is also foldable? It'd still

Seeking a recommendation for over-the-ear headphones 🎧

The Sony wh…XM line passed Bose in noise cancellation years ago. I have the XM4s and they can be had for like $160 now. Skip the xm5s as they don’t fold. The xm6s fold but they are the latest and greatest and $300. My xm4s are going strong after 4 years now. Absolutely love them.

Packing Over Ear Headphones - What Do You Do?

So I'm struggling to figure out how to bring my over ear headphones (Sony WH-1000XM4) with me. In my last trip I just threw the case into my travel pack (Peak Design 45L Travel Backpack), but I noticed that I wanted to avoid getting up, getting the bag out of the overhead bin, retrieving my headphon

Aanraders ANC oordopjes voor zijslapers

Zelf vind ik de Sony WH-1000xm3 en WF-1000xm4 koptelefoon en oordopjes prima, behalve buiten. Maar daar kan je niet mee slapen. Waar ik aan moest denken, maar waarvan ik dus niet weet hoe goed die geluiden dempt is iets als een slaapband met speakers. https://www.slaapwijzer.net/slaapwinkel/product/

Best over ear noise-cancelling headphones to help with noise sensitivity?

I’m really happy with the Sony WH-1000XM4, the noise cancelling is great and they’re super lightweight. I can wear them for hours on end without getting irritation. They’re also not too tight around my head which is definitely something I struggle with with some headphones. They are an older model b
