Which one? I also facing a noise issue with some people that move closer, and getting crazy...
- sqlacid 6y agoI'm not OP, but I'm sure he's talking Sony, I did a similar boycott (rootkit on Sony music CD's), but recently bought WH-1000XM3 and the NC is phenomenal, battery life is very good; very comfortable and lightweight; not sure I could sleep with them on though.
- mgkimsal 6y agoCan't say about the Sony, but you can't sleep in Bose QC20. Well... you can, and they were pretty comfortable, but they'll very likely break pretty quickly. I went through several pair until I finally twigged that sleeping in them was probably the root cause. Have had fewer problems with the QC20 since not sleeping with them in.
- TylerE 6y agoReally, for sleeping just get a good set of passive earmuffs like shooters use. Cost about $20 and will provide 25-30db of real noise reduction (and unlike active NC will also work on non-periodic sounds like sirens or revving car engines). Can double up with foam earplugs too for even more blockage.
- dahfizz 6y agoWhere do you people live that you need ear muffs capable of deafening gun shots just to sleep??
- TylerE 6y agoAnywhere noisy? When used around guns that don't (nearly) deafen them, just bring them down to non-damage causing levels.
- mgkimsal 6y agoFWIW, I use cheap dollar store headphones - $4-5 - with white noise from the phone to sleep. they typically last 1-3 months.
- nitrogen 6y agoI found that my Bose NC headphones would produce deafening feedback squeal if I rolled onto my side, so beware that possibility.
- mgkimsal 6y agooh yes, without a doubt, I'd noticed that in some cases, and eventually, if/when they 'crack', it's just a tiny sliver of a hairline crack in one which lets air in and produces that same loud feedback squeal. ouch!
- cjsawyer 6y agoIf you sleep on your back or stomach, airpods Pro would be great for you. I side sleep so they’re not an option for me
- samatman 6y agoThe batteries on Airpods Pro don't last long enough to cover a night's sleep. They have blessed me with some blissful naps, however. Possibly their greatest superpower is making robot vacuums disappear.
- gorbypark 6y agoI’m going to go out in a limb and say Sony XM3s, since the comment says something about a root kit, which I always associate with Sony. I have the XM3s and they are pretty darn good.
- the_pwner224 6y agoAs others have mentioned, the Sony 1000XM3. However, while doing research on this I found a few YouTube videos on it from a channel called Jim'sReviewRoom or similar, where he put microphones inside the headphones so you can listen to what it's actually like, and it seems the XM3s have a huge overemphasis on bass. I ended up buying the Bose NC700 which have a much more neutral sound profile, and slightly better ANC too iirc. They are a bit more expensive though.
- fomine3 6y agoI bought WH-1000XM3 and satisfied for superior NC quality but I don't like its sound profile like boosting bass and poor other sounds while boosting bass. Finally I realized that I need NC for removing some fan noise like HVAC and server but I don't need superior one. I got Beoplay H9i for $300 and satisfied for both. Fewer battery life is cons.
- throwaway743 6y agoSennheiser earbuds and hunting earmuffs. Beats anything out there and at a better price.
- mamcx 6y agoOh, I was asking about what he actually buy!
