I need some holiday gift ideas (that I will probably gift to myself as well)!

Fantastic work. Just excellent.

Not my creation. Found it on the Internet.

Where can I get Nose cancelling headphones? I could do with some dog is old, and his farts are a biological weapon.

You can get Soundcore Life Q20 for under $50 when they're on sale. They're not amazing, but they're pretty good.

[-] LUHG_HANI@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

For the price they are fantastic. Once you dial in a proper EQ it's hard to beat for 3x the price. This is for non flac hi res stuff like Spotify, podcasts I must say.

Definitely. In hindsight I undersold them, because they're a great deal and very solid headphones. I've been using mine for three years, and very much glad I have them.

The ANC is superb. When I travel on planes they beat my Sony Link Buds S earphones hands down. And they cost me £120. Different use cases I must admit.

Quick story, I used them while on holiday while they were doing building work next door at 5am. Loud skips and building materials. I slept like a baby for 12 hours with them on, a different story. Everyone else was complaining about being woken up.

I'm a wired headphones guy, semi or open back. Sens, Bayer, Focal etc. For the road these Q20 cans are a steal.

I have a pair, really can't complain, they're pretty damn solid

Mine scrapped out on me after 8 months of daily commuting

[-] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I haven't had this problem, but I have a different use case (mine are three years old, but stay in my office all the time). They don't strike me as great wear-and-tear headphones, though, for what it's worth.

Incidentally, I prefer isolating in-ear earbuds without ANC for commuting; I like to be at least somewhat aware of ambient sounds.

Highly recommend Tozo brand for cheap but effective.

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I would imagine that active noise cancellation is out for under $50. You’re stuck with passive noise cancelation if you want something with halfway acceptable sound. AKA, something that basically just plugs your ears so you can’t hear anything else.
