Pro The Pros: What Redditors Love
I’m using the Sony wf-1000xm5, very good sound quality, ANC works great for me but some say Bose has better ANC.
I'm looking at a pair of Sony 1000xm5's through BestBuy marketplace, they're refurbished, come with a warranty. I'm not an audiophile, I don't game, and will be using these for listening to music through Spotify at my desk, while riding around the city on my scooter and on airplanes. So I wanted good noise cancellation and I've tried these on and love the fit. I also like the design. Just wondering if these are considered great, mid or terrible and if there are models at this price point with as good or better so
