Copped refurbished Sony WH1000XM3. They're damn near perfect IMO, noise cancelling is excellent, comfortable even in 4 or 5 hour sessions, great battery life, strong connectivity, tremendous sound with good clarity and solid bass. Only things I'd like to see improved in the next iteration:

- Plastic creaks a lot, makes me a little worried about the durability over time
- No multi-point connectivity
- EQ app doesn't really have an option to really bring out the bass, would like to see that updated or have the M4s come with more bass out of the box

Also got a pair of Creative Outlier Air in ears for my workouts and out and about headphones. Sound is really stellar for just $80, battery life is good and the charging case's form factor is sleek. Connectivity with my phone isn't great though, whenever I try to touch/use it with them connected I get stutters. My phone's default codec is SBC only so I think the higher quality codecs cause problems with that. Also had to get a second replacement pair to get passable connectivity, the first ones were pretty unusable. All in all pretty satisfied for $80, great for just leaving in my pocket when I'm on walks or running errands and letting my Spotify mix run.

I almost got the new beats but then I decided to not buy just off brand alone, did my research, and now I’m waiting for my Bose Quiet Comfort 35 ii to come in.

Best decision you could have made.

Beats really are overpriced based off performance. Those Bose have the best noise cancelling and the sound levels are better, Beats are too base heavy.

I 100% agree but could never get with Bose for how ugly they look aesthetically. :francis:

You telling me Bose couldn't come up with a sleeker design?:mjtf:

my Sennheiser HD419 stopped working because of the cable after being solid for 5 years.
Just ordered the Audio Technica M50x :wow:

My Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 just arrived. I'm in love. Finally I can customize my shyt the way I like.

They sound about as good as the older version to me. I'm considering selling my Powerbeats Pros and just riding with:
Jaybird X4
Jaybird Tarah Pro
Galaxy Buds+
Momentum True Wireless 2
UA Sports Train Wireless Project Rock Edition

These are the GOAT, i've had mine for about 3-4 years now. Since I use them everyday working out, I had to eventually change the ear pads but that's about it. I converted a couple people over to these after they heard the quality :wow:

Also playing a PS4 game with 3D audio like RE2 Remake is :gladbron::whew:

How can you workout in those things? They aren't designed for it. Probably not sweat resistant at all. Around the ears headphones have to get hot as hell.

I used to hate Earbuds until I got into working out. Now I prefer them but I got my Project Rock headphones for on ear workouts.

I remember trying to workout in a pair of Beats Studios once and never happened again. Can't do around the ears with sweat.

I've had the B&O H9is for a year now. If the ANC was better these would be goat status

Same. Mine are still solid. But the reviews on the Sony MX are incredible. Most choose Sony over the Bose. When mine die I'll have some decision to make! Not sure on the style of the Bose 700 though.

Jabra Elite 75T on sale for $130 at best buy right now. Bass is amazing and I can connect to 2 phones at once, personal and work phone during the day to take calls from either. Recommended 100%
