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 know :wow: listening to southern rap with those

My "new" favorite headphones are the Sennheiser HD6 Mixes. The leather cushions that they come out the box with are trash, the velvet ones inside the case though :wow::wow::wow::wow::wow: The bass and clarity is unreal and they effectively noise-cancel based on the design of the cups. Comfort is A1 and they're sleek and pretty much go with anything. I've had them for 2 years and haven't used anything else since.

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%
I just got a pair of these refurbished from Jabra off eBay for $60 with tax. shyts have too much bass. I own the Elite 7 Active and they have great bass but I can see why it was toned down from the 75t. My head feels like it’s rumbling.

I just realized that not only do I have four pairs of earbuds, but I bought got them all within the last year :mjgrin:

  1. 1 More Earbuds. These are my favorite pair. Not super trendy as it has the neck bands like someone's Uncle, but the strongest noise canceling and also a dope wind resistance feature. Bought as an Xmas present to myself late last year.
    • Use Case: Listening to podcasts when I'm cycling for fun
  2. Bose QuietComfort Earbuds: Expensive AF but Holiday gift from my company. More modern/sleek vibes and more compact.
    • Use Case: Running errands like grocery shopping locally in the neighborhood. Also, getting some quiet in the crib if someone on the street is blasting music or a neighbor is being too loud
  3. Pixel Buds Earbuds (Original): Got these as a bonus after earning rewards points through my health insurer. Great compatibility with Android. Very intuitive gesture control. No noise canceling tho.
    • Use Case: Walking around my apartment while listening to podcasts or talking on the phone. Also if I'm going out drinking and know I won't be biking home. I don't want to drunkenly risk losing a fancy pair and the lack of noise canceling won't be an issue in normal life
  4. Boltune Earbuds: Purchased these outright for $30 Had these the longest. They have noise canceling which I used to love, but now that I have more powerful earbuds, I can't always tell the difference when I try to turn on/off noise canceling lol.
    • Use Case: These have turned into my throwaways. If I'm getting slapped, I bring these because if I lose em, it's whatever. Also though, it has a tighter seal so better noise canceling than my Pixel Buds. If there's even a slight chance I will cycle home, I will use these bad boys so that I can hear podcasts.
So fwiw, I only bought the most expensive model and the cheapest model and they are the two pairs I use the most :banderas:

I bought some sony WH C710N noise cancelling over the ear 2 months ago and already sending them shyts back in. noticed the plastic size adjusters were cracked (how? no idea) but before that that voice thing was skipping oddly at times when trying to power it off and on which is the first red flag I had.

The reason I bought them because they felt nice on my head and weren't squeezing my head. any recommendations for good wireless over the ear headphones?

Got these a month ago. Build quality, sound, ANC, comfort are all on point. They hold their own with the high end Sony and Bose joints. The app recently got an update....you can completely customize the EQ. Battery life......70 hours without ANC, 50 with......I use them an hour or two every day for the gym at least 5 days a week. Ive only recharged 2x

The YouTube review by Flossy Carter sold me on these, I bought them on a whim....no regrets since.
