    Hi there, I want headphones with ANC for the office and noticed that the Bose QC-35ii and Sony WH-1000XM2 are what people call "best" currently. The reviews are very conflicting though, sometimes Sony wins in ANC, sometimes Bose - Sony seems to have the more detailed sound though, but is less...

    Nice Desktop stands (KEF x300a)?

    Thanks for the detailed answer! Yeah I figured out there is really not much out there.. I asked KEF, they don't have any stands for those speakers and there is also no way to mount/fix them (like VESA standard, screws, anything). This surprised me a bit.   I will ask this supplier you linked...
