• Don't buy any Sony WH-1000XM3

    They are fantastic quality sound, and the notice cancelling is amazing. However the build quality is rubbish, I've had to buy 3D printed arm brackets to replace the ones it came with as they broke, and now they won't turn on, and buy the looks of this reddit thread the wiring isn't great inside so I'm going to have to fix that myself.

    I picked up some cheap Airpod Pros (normal ones don't fit my ears), as they are super handy, and using all Mac stuff it's pretty convenient using them to switch between devices taking phone calls etc. Only take them out when I don't have space for my big Sony ones though, I'm not a fan of the inner earphones for too long.

  • Yeah my choice would have been easy if I could wear ear phones, but I can’t stand the feeling of them driving the sound straight in and most that I’ve tried don’t seem to stay put anyway, though I never looked at higher end ones.

  • The ones with a rubber flange (or whatever you call them) like the airpod pros always worked for me, I used to have some standard sennhiesser wired ones which were fine. But never for long periods of time.

    Over ear are much better, they just take up so much space in my bag!
