I do have to say that after buying ALL the various Airpod versions there have been the Airpod Pro 2's came as a very pleasant surprise. To me the biggest surprise was not the great sound (much better than any previous versions and even better than the Bose) but the great fit (for me ALWAYS a...

As someone with a large head but (more importantly) large ears, I still can't recommend anything better than the Sony WH-1000XM3. Now, if your ears aren't large perhaps you'll find much better, but these are the only ones I've ever found to be comfortable over my own head and ears (everything...

I'm still using my Sony XM3 and I agree it sounds wonderful but for me the biggest factor is comfort -- I tested literally dozens of phones and they are the ONLY wireless phones I can wear for more than 20 minutes without hurting my ears (I can actually wear them for hours without issues). I...

I absolutely LOVE my XM3 and can't even contemplate another headphone nowadays, but I don't think this would be to the poster's liking in terms of weight. While they aren't "heavy" they aren't lightweight like a lot of portables (then again, going lightweight means no bass to speak of). I...

Yes, I recently compared the Bose Quiet Comfort II to the Sony WH1000m3, and the Sony was superior. Now, there are a LOT of factors that go into that decision, and YMMV. Quite a bit, in point of fact. For me the showstopper was comfort -- I could wear the Bose no more than about 15 minutes...

It's hard to beat those Sony even though they do have NC (you can always turn it off). Excellent comfort, sound, portability and great battery life (30 hours). If you just mean "cheap" then you will sacrifice some of those things (like we used to write on the software blackboard for our users...

Thanks! I really appreciate this heads up (they didn't even show up on the lists I was looking at, they are so new). After reading the reviews these certainly sound (no pun intended) like I should check them out (I'm putting these and the Bose on my "Black Friday" watchlist just in case I find...

Sorry, revisiting this thread after many years now (last time I was looking at wireless bluetooth headphones was 2014 when I checked out about a dozen). My main problem with over-the-ear phones is either my ears are just too weird (too big? I didn't think so and I didn't think they stuck out...

The two I mention above -- Fidelio X2 around the house, and Powerbeats on the go.

I'm still around, although not here <g>.   I'm so happy, more or less, with my music solution I haven't felt a pressing need to check anything further out (plus I need to let Amazon calm down about all my returns :>).  I also have not yet received my bTunes receiver yet, so when that comes I...

The BTunes can come with either the 2.5 or the 3.5 jack (and, no, folks you can't use a converter -- there's no converter on the market that is narrow enough on the entire plug length to fit any headphone with a 2.5mm jack, as the opening is just too deep.  Trust me, been there, not done that...

They do Apt-x.   I've used a TON of other small BT receivers (I currently have three different ones I use with my headphones) but the BTunes one is the only one I've ever seen that's completely integrated (the plug is part of the receiver).  It's also the only one that can be purchased with a...

Here's the link to the current site for BTunes (the portable BT solution for nearly all headphones):   http://www.thebtunes.com/   I have not received mine yet but have gotten updates from the developer regularly and everything seems to be on schedule.

No, the firmware update does NOT fix the iPhone/iPod issue (just FWI).   I would not recommend the Bose if you are planning on using it with iOS.

Ah, sorry, old man moment (actually, in my life they are ALL old men moments :>).   Powerbeats, of course.  With the right Comply earpieces (and you will need to experiment -- I had to try three different types and four different sizes to find the ones that were "perfect") they are...
