What headphones do you use

I had a pair of apple max headphones for less than 2 days (had to send them back cos even on the smallest setting they wouldn’t fit my head)

We had the big prime day deal yesterday so I ordered some sound core anker space one headphones on a good deal….reduced from £90 to £50. (Back up to full price today)

I’m hoping these fit better. Think I must have a small head.

I will use them on my walks.

I looked at some Sony ones before buying these. Mine are also noise cancelling though I don’t know how good it is yet.

I use Beats Solo 4

My headphones get a lot of heavy use so they only last a few years

It also has a chip that makes pairing to iPhone much easier

I have a pair of Bose QC 35. I’ve had them for 4-5 years and the batteries are still good even though I’ve used them daily.

I’m probably buying another pair of Bose when these quit.

Audio Status C1.

These are pretty neutral in the soundwise so they are good for my music making.

I bought expensive sennhieser hd600 headphones about 5 years ago. I could never go back to cheaper headphones.

Audio Technica M50X
They are relatively flat in their sound profile and around £100. Very comfortable. Don’t buy if you want dominant bass though.

I just use AirPods now – but I have a pair of older Bose headphones. Haven’t used them in years and years, so not sure if they work. But they were so clutch when I was in college

I got the Fiio FT1 to replace the fakes I had. Reviewed to be the best for under $200 when it comes to budget audiophile headphones. I paid £125 for them.

I use corded headphones that are a remake of a pair that’s been being made since the 80s. I won’t use headphones with a microphone built in because I worry people are listening to me through them and I talk to myself too much. So i buy old style headphones. My smart watch also has no microphone. That way i can get away from microphones if i need to. Everything seems to have a microphone these days though. Remote controls. Even some light bulbs :sob: .

Currently using cheap things that suck, need to upgrade. If I didn’t go to so many concerts I could’ve bought much better ones by now, been spending money on that.

I want something decent, but I can’t afford anything great. I saw Beats noise canceling headphones that I thought would be good, and were $120, though it’s been a while since I checked prices. Something decent like that would be fine with me.

I’ve never used wireless earbuds in my life, I just replace my wired ones. The plain apple brand white headphones with white wires. If I had wireless ones I’d lose them. The wires are really not that big of a deal, and I never need to charge them.

I use generic wireless headphones I bought at Walmart for 29 bucks they last a really really long time I dont have to charge them often maybe like once a month sometimes it can go longer without charging them depends on how often I use them I use them when I go workout at the gym three days a week. They are supposed to have 60 hours of play time I think not too sure I seen beats by Dr Dre but am not wanting to pay 120 dollars for them even though they are noise cancelling headphones. Mine are good enough for what I need them for.They block out some of the noise at the gym and I can’t hear people talking really good I just hear my music which is good

I used to have a pair of Bose QC but I didn’t care for them. The active noise canceling would misfire in high certain situations like high wind, airplane takeoffs, or train rides. It would actually amplify the noise. It was a nightmare. The times I most needed noise reduction it would unexpectedly blare right in my ears. The padding also started to deteriorate after about a year, and leave tiny black speckles all over my neck. I would be willing to tolerate something like that in a $50 pair of headphones, but not a $350 pair.

The ones I use now are these ones. The noise canceling isn’t as strong as Bose, but it is more consistent. The battery is good. The padding is high quality and comfortable to wear for extended periods. I also like the color options. I feel like I am getting my money’s worth.
