Avoid Bose headphones because they're overpriced and riding off brand recognition.
Avoid """"smart"""" devices made by hardware manufacturers because hardware manufacturers don't know how to write software.
While I sympathize for the people who are affected by this, everyone should really avoid buying such manifestly bad products in the first place. We should really be doing our best to avoid "smart" TVs, "smart" headphones, and other superfluous and poorly done computerization.

- wyager 10y agoIf you don't mind IEMs, they offer superior sound blocking to over-ear headphones with active noise cancelling, especially with foam earpieces. If that works for you, get any decent pair of Shure IEMs (or anything that uses the MMCX connector). Then you can purchase a Bluetooth receiver that connects to any brand of MMCX IEMs. This is nice because now the most expensive part (the IEM) you can keep using for as long as you want while periodically upgrading the wireless component as new technologies emerge.
- portlander12345 10y agoOk, what if you do mind IEMs?
- satori99 10y agoI think he is referring to In-Ear Monitors.
- snovv_crash 10y agoSony MDR-1000X. Better than Bose in both ANC and sound quality in every review I've read.
- mustacheemperor 10y agoAs someone who's actually currently hunting for wireless noise-canceling cans, what's your suggestion? (other than IEMs or something I have to plug into another receiver) I'm quite satisfied with the sound of my Seinnheiser 598s but they have a cable and are open back.
