Just trying to make it thru this flight…
When I take them off I'm always like "damn most of y'all are just raw dogging this WHRRERERREEERRR sound for 12 hours?" My Sony XM5s take it from loud to downright forgettable if I have content playing. Now I have an OLED laptop so I just sit back and enjoy my mini cinema experience on a long flight

What Earbuds do you use
Sony 1000XM5 a bit expensive but the noise canceling is unmatched

What would you buy to make life easier?
My two most expensive autism-related purchases were Sony WH1000-XM5 noise cancelling headphones, and the best weighted blanket I could find. Both of them are worth every cent.

Is wearing industrial headphones as a high masking person okay?
I’ve used active noise cancelling headphones for around 3 years now and they really help me out, both in public and in private. I have Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones as well as apple airpods pro 2. The noise cancelling definitely works but it’s far from what I would like. I need to have music turned up

A warm and cozy setup after working all day in a hospital
Black and Wood color/pattern.
I specifically made sure that the theme of my setup would be warm since we all know a hospital is usually filled with bright white lights. Physicians usually read a lot of research papers and books after work so that’s basically the use of this whole thing.
Some othe

Racist for having sensory issues?
What kind of noise cancelling headphones do you have? The Sony XM4s/XM5s work great.

Slept through landing 🫠
Honestly mortified. My flight was delayed last night from DC - NY (LGA) until 11:44 pm. I boarded and basically fell asleep immediately with noise cancelling headphones on, except I was fully out and I didn’t wake up when the flight landed. The FA had to wake me up and I got so flustered in the mome

What is the best noise canceling headphones
I have the Sony WH-1000XM5 and they’re absolutely amazing. They have the active noise cancellation so when they’re turned on and doing that it’s basically completely silent. But what I love about them so much is that the noise blocking is SO GOOD that you can put them on your ears without even turni

I never realized I was sensory adverse until I got earplugs
Sony has really nice over-the-ear / "can" style ones. I don't know about the current competitor landscape, but I decided to get the 'Sony WH-1000XM5 Premium Noise Canceling Headphones' a couple of years ago. It's definitely an investment-level purchase ($300+, even in 2023), but I'm very happy with

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.
