Title: New headphones
Post by: JKnightandKARR on Jan 25, 2025, 12:35 PM
Soo.... my old Sony wireless headset, MDR-XB950B1, while still working is just getting to the point of not being able to be used anymore, plastic on one side keep breaking.... will still fix them yet again, for backup, but I just got a new set yesterday, Sony, Wh-ch720n, from Amazon, half off, and LOVE EM! https://electronics.sony.com/audio/headphones/headband/p/whch720n-b?srsltid=AfmBOopUwUSsVchnJaA2d4XXqd0TMfO5AZ3Pr9wkRR29PZF1b69EmQlv (https://electronics.sony.com/audio/headphones/headband/p/whch720n-b?srsltid=AfmBOopUwUSsVchnJaA2d4XXqd0TMfO5AZ3Pr9wkRR29PZF1b69EmQlv)

Still noise canceling, adjustable. Has Hey Goggle and Alexa built in, fast charge and 35 hr batt life, input jack, among eq and other options to make whatever enjoyable!

Edit: INTERESTING!....seems like I can get repair parts for my old ones!

I cannot afford noise-cancelling headphones anymore. Duracell batteries ruined my Bose QuietComfort 315 back in the day and I haven't tried to replace them. On the other hand, these BERIBES Bluetooth Headphones (https://a.co/d/2uJQdi1) sound good, have great features and double up for phone calls. I have a set at work and a set at home for use with my tablet. Cheap and the battery lasts for days. I've had my first set in May of 2023 and use them at work, where they're exposed to all kinds of abuse, chemicals and fumes (soldering). They're still in great shape.

Cool, Bose don't impress me at all. To me just over priced junk.

In all fairness, the ones I use on my computer are Sony. I bought those online and sadly was unable to see how they fit or sound. They're not the best. I mean, I use them, but that's mainly because I don't want to waste my money.

Those ones look like on the ear design, I can't wear those for long, hurts after a while, but over the ear I love.

I couldn't tell when I ordered them online. Scale was another issue. They're very small on my big head!
