The most reliable thing in my life since 2020? My XM3's
Whats funny is the flagship WH-1000XM6 snaps all the time where the headband connect to the drivers. Looks like this pair got it figured out

Help me choose: Px7 S3 vs. WH-1000XM6 (also considering Bose QC Ultra & AirPods Max USB-C) — iPhone-only listener, travel + desk use
#Need real-world feedback - considering returning Sony XM6
I'd love some real-world feedback while I consider returning my XM6. I used to have AirPods Max (lightning port) that I sold due to its weight and port as I try to move to a USB-C only setup. I couldn't stand the case and the weight.
I am

These Are My 7th Pair of AirPods Max
Airpods Pro are in ear. Closest competition is Sony WH-1000XM6 but even they have their issues. With apple care getting max replaced should be pretty easy.

Switching from Bose QC Ultra 2 and getting WH XM6
I have a big head so I just found the xm6 uncomfortable overall. The top headband felt uncomfortable after using them for a decent amount of time. The WC XLs helped a lot on the clamping force, but it still felt uncomfortable. I prefer the heavier bass that I got when I had tried the Bose before. I

PX7 S3 have opened my eyes (ears)
I’ve been searching for most of the year for some headphones that can fill my ear/brain void but everything I’ve tried has been problematical. Sonos Ace’s ANC feedback when typing / clicking my keyboard and mouse at my desk, Sony XM6’s hinge creaking while listening, Boss QC Ultra 2 with ANC rumblin

Bose qc ultra gen2 doesn't feel premium.
No, the Bose do feel kinda cheap - WAY better than the Sony XM6, but still kinda cheap. B&W Px8S2s are great, but obvs more $$

Just got my first pair of Nothing Headphones
Ok relax... The (a) is def... Not better than the 1. In every ways, even price when u take all the frequent discounts. Altho' the new colorways cant be appealing to some ppl but that's pretty much it. The Headphone 1 is still King, i competes with the top brass. XM6, Airpods max, Bose qC, AND some o

Наушники в ухо с хорошим микрофоном
А, это да, накладывает определенные сложности. Из личного опыта могу посоветовать sony wh-1000xm4, но сони в последнее время даже в премиальном сегменте делают брак. xm5 и xm6 не советую - ломаются дужки, динамик хуже, чем у четверки.

Recommendations: Hiby R1 or M300
I am looking for the same and have run into a detail I did not expect. Also coming from the Bose QC45, I was disappointed to learn that they do not support and lossless audio codecs. So that got me looking into upgrading to a newer version (QuietComfort Ultra) which does support APTX-Adaptive. But g
