If you want to stop your neighbor's bass at night do this:

Here's what I do - I live next to noisy bar and lost my mind for about a year straight, until I bought Sony WH-1000XM6 for noise blocking and sleep with them. I also bought a pillow designed to sleep with headphones - I use an amazon brand called lelefido. Lastly, I have a small fan, an AC unit, and

Sennheiser HDB 630 Quick Impressions

Just got these in and wow — out of the box they sound superb. The tuning is really neutral and everything comes together seamlessly. The bass has great extension and presence — it adds solid weight and heft to the music without bleeding into the mids or muddying up vocals. Speaking of vocals, they’r

Dica pra quando for comprar fone com ANC: não confie nas fabricantes

Vejo muita gente que quer comprar fone com ANC se orientando pelo número que a fabricante fornece de "até X dB de atenuação", mas isso é uma tática desonesta que é aplicada pra enganar o consumidor na hora da compra.

Muita gente não se atenta no "ATÉ", que é onde tá a pegadinha. Não é que um QCY H

Ughhh I’m tired

Sony WH-1000XM6 are basically the best on the market, and Amazon has them on sale for $398 right now, which is a pretty good discount. I can't recommend them enough.

Splurges that have increased QOL?

Why is it that in 2026 we still can't use headphone mic + stereo in Windows 11?

LE audio also need the GMAP/Gaming profile active. For example WH-1000XM6 has LE audio, but it doesn't have the LE audio GMAP/Gaming profile, which also degrades the sound quality - or better said, while the mic sounds a lot better than classic BT, the headphones enter a phone call mode, where the a

Microsoft is promising to make Bluetooth audio much better in Windows 11

Turns out that is because Microsoft hasn't been keeping up with bluetooth standards. Nah. Bluetooth standards are complete trash. Their standard has been incompetent for more than 25 years now and I'm convinced they're trying to make it to 35. LE audio was supposed to deliver this feature, It sort o

Any recommendations for Over-ear Noise Cancelling Headphones (for the SkyTrain)

Sony WH-1000XM6 are absolutely wild, best ANC I’ve used, comfy for hours, and the sound stays clean even when you crank it.

Wired earphones are better

The sound difference is unnoticeable for the vast majority of users. Also, the more expensive Bluetooth headphones like Sony xm6 have technology to help them uncompress the signal making this difference even more unnoticeable. Unless your a musician the benefits of Bluetooth far outweigh wired earph

The current best Noise Cancelling Headphones you'd recommend for noisy workplace?

If it must be headphones as in over the ear I ended up choosing the sony wh-1000xm6 after I lost my 5. Their sound stage is phenomenally adjusted and the app lets you make any further adjustments you may want. Otherwise the AirPods Pro are literally second to none as far as noise cancellation in my
