Need a headphone that can blast deathcore and survive the gym

I've had the Sony WH-1000XM5 for years now and a million gym sessions. Had beats before that which would constantly break or have parts fall off. They so far haven't missed a beat

"Well, since I needed a headphone, I might as well..."

...get the official SONY×Blue Archive edition of WH-1000XM5!

Hear me out, this is a wise financial decision. I have a 5 year old ATH-M50xBT that I got as a college entrance gift for myself. It served me well, but I noticed the earmuffs crumbling away and none of the genuine and aftermarket earmuffs

Ako vybrať a kde kúpiť bezdrôtové slúchadlá k počúvaniu hudby a pozeraniu filmov?

Ako povedal kolega, wh-1000-xm5 alebo xm6. Jedna z najlepších vecí, ktoré som kedy kúpil.

Noise cancelling headphones rec’s

I like my Sony WH-1000XM5 they block sound really well, have been super comfy and have been sturdy as all get out because I chuck them in bags without the case etc all the time.

What's YOUR current best Noise Cancelling Headphones that you absolutely swear by?

Sony WH-1000XM5. Expensive but I use them for hours every single day. No regrets at all over a year later.

Best ANC headphones for Apple users: AirPods Max 2 vs Sony WH-1000XM6 vs Bose QC Ultra 2

I own or have owned: Sony WH XM4 Sony WH XM5 Sony WH XM6 Bose QC 1 and 2 The WH XM6 is clearly superior overall. The ANC is something to behold compared to the rest. The Bose QC 1/2 were the most comf

Looking for earbuds that don’t hurt but stay in

My ear canals are too small for ear buds and they hurt. They also don't have the noise cancellation that over the ear headphones have. I used to wear the Bose QC but I had problems with them eventually and their ear pads didn't hold up to me using them 24/7. I now have Sony XM5s and I love them! The

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.

Extremely disappointed with the noise canceling of the Sony WH-1000XM5

Recently bought the WH-1000XM5 and oh my God, the ANC is far worse than I expected after reading reviews online.

It's better than nothing for sure, but that's about it.

Someone talking, a child crying, a phone ringing or your own mouse clicks? Yeah, all of that will be perfectly heard even when A
