Why is the bluetooth connectivity on the QC Ultra 2s so trash
you went from the most comfortable head phones I've ever used to the xm5's that clamp your head, feel sore after a few hours and have the hinge that breaks? sounds like a down grade.

Multi WeWork location, 16" MBP users, what do you bring? What is your setup like?
The noise really throws me off. So I need to use two layers of hearing protection - in-ear earplugs (foam or musician-type*) AND over-the-ear noise cancelling headphones like Bose QC45. Was using the Sony WX1000 XM5 for a while too but didn't like the fit. The Bose QC45 are comfortable for long peri

Looking for comfortable headphones for sensory overload
Thank you for this response! My partner has never had luck with headphones as they're always too big. I've got Sony XM5s and they just sit way too low on their head, the cups resting on the top of their ears and hurting. Hoping the AirPods Max might be a little smaller. They can't use in ear buds du

Im a little lost, what should I buy?
Sennheiser Momentum 4's are getting cheaper and they sound great. Very comfortable also. I just got a set for my daughter and listened to them for a while. I also have Sony WH-1000XM5 and I think I liked the sound of the Momentum 4 better. I think the Momentum 4 sound was a bit clearer, bass was gre

Anyone else fed up of waiting for the Momentum M5?
Everything but the sound and battery life of the HDB 630 is pretty garbage in comparison with Sony's top line. I've owned XM5 for three years and have had my 630 for half a year now, it's pristine sound (for bluetooth in this price range) with the most horrendous firmware, controls and app support.

Help me block out MRT noise
I've recently gotten very annoyed with the noise while taking public transport, both the train and bus.
Situation:
- I have also recently upgraded from my Airpods Pro 1 to the Airpods Pro 2 but it does not completely block out train noise due to it not having the best isolation.
- I remember having a

Hit Me I Have All Day
Headphones Sony WH - 1000XM5 in black (ha). Volume on 90/100 EQ flat. Lossless Audio on Spotify. Mood slightly depressed but cozy. Slightly warm. Here we go little nervous.
