I would like to know, what kind of headphones do you have?
I have the Anker Soundcore Q30 in pink. I previously had the Mpow 059, but decided to upgrade to a model with ANC, plus Mpow's supposed fake review scheme made me consider switching brands. The Anker Soundcore Q30s have better sound quality and are a more comfortable fit for my larger head.
For listening I prefer AKG phones. I also use my Bose QC25 phones at work for the noise cancellation and for music, but I think in quiet surroundings a really high quality pair like the AKGs give the best sound quality.
Depends on what I'm doing and where I'm at. I don't like wearing cans around when I'm out and about, which is really time I use headphones.
I have Airpods Pro for normal day to day, plus a set of Bose SoundSport Frees. The Airpods Pro are the only headphones/earbuds I actually like the ANC on. Bose and everything else puts pressure on my ears for some reason and I don't like it.
I have the Poly Voyager 8200's at my desk in the office - I hate the ANC on them. Otherwise they're great on calls and decent for music.
I use a Poly Sync 20+ in my home office connected to my work PC for when I'm WFH.
I use mine mostly for listening to the television late at night. Beside decent (not audiophile) sound quality, my requirements are that they work flawlessly with the BT transmitter, not produce a sound lag, and be comfortable. I bet I tried 20-30 other models before I settled on these.
For my mother, I am thinking about buying her the Anker Soundcore Life P3 earbuds in Oat White for her birthday in February (I already bought her a Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 for Christmas). She says she prefers earbuds over full-size headphones.
Since Anker had a Cyber Monday deal and my mother is traveling for the holidays, I decided to order her Anker Soundcore Life P3 earbuds in Oat White early, and I don't think Anker will have a similar deal after the holidays. This will be a perfect companion for her Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 tablet.
LAnker Soundcore Spirit things. Bluetooth sport earbuds with the over ear clip. Cheap garbage, good battery life.
Superlux HD668B. 35 bucks, Very good for the price.
beyer DT 880. Great build, nowadays there are better headphones at the low end but they're also more expensive. Still a solid choice.
HiFi 400i. Was hoping these would be easier drives than the DT880 so they could be used without amplification. DAC dependent, some devices will drive them but most won't and they're even worse than the DT880s without enough amplification.
Bose QC 35. Attempt one at a good Bluetooth ANC type headphone. These are mediocre, which for the price is a bit of a letdown. Very good ANC, mediocre headphones.
B&W PX7. Attempt two at good BT ANC headphones. These are awful. Get the Bose QC35. Poor ANC, sound bad, horrendously poor microphone. They are well built and nice looking as opposed the Bose which are ugly cheap plastic construction. Returned.
