Which headphone did you try? That sounds amazing
- rootusrootus 5y agoCan't speak for OP, but I recently bought a pair of Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones and I'm pretty impressed. They don't make me feel the pressure in my ear like some do, and the noise suppression is just about magic. My wife has to text me from downstairs to tell me my kids are fighting even when it's just outside the door to my office, because I can't hear them at all (and I don't turn up the volume on my music). Just turning them on without any music makes it hard to understand someone talking in the same room.
- jason_slack 5y agoI have these same ones and AirPod Max as well. Both really amazing for focus, deep thought and traveling.
- rootusrootus 5y ago> traveling For sure, that moment when you power them up on the airplane it's heavenly.
- reasonabl_human 5y agoWhich do you prefer? I’ve been rocking the Bose QC35 II’s for years but am wondering if in-ear solutions can compete now for commuting on foot (metro, buses, etc.)
- e1g 5y agoI loved my XM3. They eventually broke, and I replaced them with the AirPod Max as I’m all-in on Apple gear. Returned those within a week. The weight, the size, and the ANC side effects made it unusable for all-day wear. Some people love them, but I was disappointed. I’m back to XM, with newfound appreciation. You can try both for a week, and return the set that doesn’t fit into your life. Both Apple and Sony can handle a refund.
- ak217 5y agoWhat's the magnitude of improvement over the standard option (bose quietcomfort)?
- bredren 5y agoAirPod Max noise cancellation is pretty stellar.
- alanbernstein 5y agoXM3, my understanding is that the noise cancelling performance is similar to the XM4.
