May i ask which one you use?

  Not OP but I was going to say the same thing - switching to BT headphones made me a very happy camper. I use Bowers & Wilkins PX, as they were the first USB-C headphones around. They have a great sound and no plastic, but if you don't care about that there's the typical Sony that everyone keeps praising (just looked it up, it's https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/headband-headphones/wh-1000xm3 https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/headband-headphones/wh-10... ).

  I prefer the Bose QC3 but depending whom you ask it's great or it's bad. One thing is the non user replaceable battery, even if it fails during warranty Bose will try to get you to pay up.

  I use the sony WH-1000XM3 and love them. Game changer for noisy work environments.

    I have the same, and they're brilliant. Put them on and it feels like I'm instantly transported to different (quiet) place.

  I'm using NC-25 headphones by a brand called Srythm. Bought them on Amazon for around 50€. I'm wearing them every day for at least 6 hours. The earpads are a downside though because the stitching breaks after 6 to 9 months. (you can replace them yourself and they are relatively cheap - around 12€)

Agree, the Sony WH-1000 are astonishing. I can use them for everything from video calls to airplane travel, to grocery shopping. https://remotivo.com/gear/product/headphones/ https://remotivo.com/gear/product/headphones/

  Not intended as a criticism, but since it’s not something you can really ask in person—- Doesn’t it get tiring to listen to music all the time? It’s not that I have anything against music, but I can’t imagine myself listening the majority of my days from waking to sleeping.

    I use mine almost exclusively for listening to books - when you have a chore that you know how to do without thinking like putting away the dishes or mowing the lawn it can turn it into something enjoyable. For me, mowing the lawn doesn't engage the brain enough so I avoid it by itself.

    Besides music I'm listening to podcasts, white noise and audio books. Sometimes I only turn on the ANC to block out the noisy surroundings. It helps me a lot to stay focused but it's different for everyone of course.

      I got a pair for Christmas, and it's definitely helped a lot when I want to stay focused. Or, sometimes, to avoid family's political talk.

    Yeah I think it would. I don’t use them literally all the time, but multiple times a day yes. Also, just having noise cancelling on with no music playing is a nice experience in the supermarket for example.
