eames posted:The battery capacity of my QC35 appears to be more or less ruined after leaving it sitting around at low state of charge for a while. I'm going to charge them from zero with a USB multimeter to see whats up. There's a video on youtube. It looks like it's possible but you have to both melt glue and solder/desolder the battery wires. The battery costs $35+ and is only available used

5-HT posted:they're class leading and beats isn't what it used to be back in the day, well as much as it used to be. best wireless iem's currently as an overall package. only big negative is the case. The most important line of that review is at the bottom where they say that the sound is basically the same as powerbeats 3. The pros do have the best airpod feature though - it'll turn on and pair automatically when you stick it in your ear and auto-pause when you take it out. All bluetooth headphones should do that.

grack posted:Not all Koss headphones are good, but the KSC75s are definitely winners and worth trying. Why do these companies have like one good product at a compelling price (or two, if the porta pros people used to rave about are still good?) and then dozens of cruddy also-ran dogfood products that cost just as much?

^^^e: that's QC35. The 25's are wired and definitely have to have a working AAA battery in place to do ANCenraged_camel posted:no one? So I just looked it up and it appears you can use ANC on the bose QC20's while they're charging, which covers your use case.

I like my T2’s. If you have a $100 budget you can easily get an mmcx cable with an inline mic or a Bluetooth receiver (look at fiio ubtr) to go along with them. e: and some nicer tips if you need them

You could just get a uBTR or the like, use your existing headphones and not have to do any splicing or soldering (though you could shorten the cable to where it only reaches to your collar/shirt pocket)

grack posted:If you don't want IEMs, then the Airpods are your best bet. yeah, airpods are the best in this style, and they'll pair fine with windows/android/whatever. Other than that, there are the Chinese clones, and if you don't have to have true wireless, there's the plantronics backbeat fit line, and I think jbl and anker also make a model each

Bose juuuuuuust stopped making the QC25, which is wired, has good noise cancelling, and can still be found new on ebay for about half what the XM3 costs. The various Bose models lack EQ and a bunch of advanced settings that the Sonys have

I'll agree with most of the other comments on the BLON's. They sound good and definitely have a lot more bass than the tin t2. I trimmed the clear plastic ear hook thing off the cable with some snips and it resolved all of my fit/seal issues, because the cable is no long tugging them out of my ears. Anyone know where I can get a super-short cable for these that's just long enough to reach a bluetooth receiver clipped to my collar or shirt pocket? I think I might have to DIY it.

I don't post there but it seems to be low on audiophile woo unless you go into the DIY cable subforum where everyone is jerking each other off about silver cables. The community seems much better overall than the headphones subreddit, where every item can be objectively ranked by how much money you spent on it

If you can stretch ~$30 the Bose QC25 is $130 on amazon right now. It has really good active noise cancelling.

If you have a USB-C port, try the $8 Apple DAC first, unless you want an excuse to splurge on a nice headphone DAC/amp setup

Powerbeats Pro claims nine hours battery life, the Sony WF-1000MX3 claim 6-8. That's the upper end of the true wireless market, and they're both available for well under $300. I'm not sure about mid-range, but the battery life on the very cheap ones is universally terrible

Yeah, that Apple USB-C adapter should be the first recourse for people getting garbage sound out of their PC. It even works fine if you use a USB-C to USB-A adapter (which I know is illegal and against spec, but yolo. I’m using the one from monoprice)

They also make rf-wireless headphones for TV viewing (Sony and avantree seem to be the biggest brands), though I think they’re aimed at an elderly/hearing loss audience, I’ve never seen a serious ~audiophile~ review of any of them, and they aren’t much cheaper than  headsets anyway

I've gone through tons of cheap wired earbuds through the years and it's always a pain in the rear end getting the wire caught on something and yanking them out of my ears. Not particularly worried about sound quality for these purposes. beats flex if you care about apple ecosystem integration, anker soundbud curve otherwise
