I’ve found a good number of negative reviews of Bose QC 2 and quite a few good things said about Sony WF-1000XM5 so I’m leaning towards buying them but would love to hear the general recommendation on Lemmy first.
I live in a very noisy environment and need earphones for my sleep, when I work or relax, and for listening to podcasts as well as a bit of music. And since sleep is most important for me, I have in-ear comfort as the top priority.
I’ve been using AirPods Pro for sleeping and, aside from the low battery tone, they’re amazing for this.
Earbuds don’t cancel noise as well as the over-ear models, but you can keep them in your pocket and use them wherever you are.
