I have Sony xm5s and I plug them into my 65w usb-c laptop charger, they get really hot and go from 10% to 50% in ten minutes, then they last all day. Shit's crazy, it's like putting them in the microwave. it just works

I was like that too until a couple years ago. It is actually extremely convenient for me. Charge lasts for hours, I just put the earbuds back into the pod when I'm not using them, and plug the pod in overnight every few days.

I have pic related which are shit, about time for an upgrade.

I got my WH 1000 XM3 back in 2021 and at first I totally forgot that you even need to charge them. I'd go three full days of use (probably around 25-28 hours) before they ran out of juice. I still have them and use them but I have to charge them nearly every day, I bet the total listening time is down to 10 hours or so

I've had the XM4 for nearly a year now and I can sometimes go nearly 2 weeks without needing to charge them. I use them for 30-40 minutes at the gym 3 times a week, and 30-60 minutes at home every night before bed usually. Don't let the cucksoomer Redditors who bought the early batches fool you into thinking these have battery problems. Mine have been perfect. Hoping I can get another year out of them.

Genuine question, what is the appeal of all this wireless shit? It's more expensive, degrades faster due to declining battery life, and performs worse than the wired equivalent.
Is this just some kind of psypop by laptop/phone manufacturers to lower costs?

The primary appeal for me is the active noise cancelation and the freedom to get up and take a piss without stopping whatever I happen to be listening too. I don't want to be cable locked to my desk. Same with VR, I choose the Quest over other options because of airlink. If you happen to know of any other VR headset that can connect to a PC without a cable please do share.

this is depressing. my dad has hifi gear eg amp, turntable, tape deck, speakers, tuner, cd player, that are all as old as I am, some older like 60 years old and all still work well.
modern plastic technology that becomes unusual after a few years sucks.
Can anyone reccomend wired headphones thst will last a lifetime?
>>
>>100167005
my jabra headset is wired and noise cancelling, not great for audio but I'm sure it exists.
also my Sony's can be plugged in using 3.5 cable and still use active noise cancelling.
>>
mine started doing a high freq squeal out of a single side randomly... not sure if its because i replaced the pads, but it's annoying as hell and noise cancelling related. switching to ambient the squealing stops

I have wireless earphones that I use with my computer, but I have it set up where I never have to think about its charging status. The charging dock is on my desk and always plugged in, and it serves as the home for the earphones. I want to use it, I take it out. I don't use it, I return it to its home. Simple.

There was a firmware update a while back that caused permanent damage to the batteries on the wf-1000xm4. If you never update the firmware these work really well. They did replace them for free when it happened to me.
>>
>>100160772
And another thing to buy again once the battery starts dying. Airpods in particular expected lifetime 2 years. Can't wait for EU to mandate common battery form standard and user change at the very least. Quest and Xbox controllers are so good compared to Playstation and Switch because they use AA.

Headphones and earphones are just going to get dirty and worn over time, especially if you don't clean them every week like normies don't. Longest pair of headphones I had was about 3-4 years, and by the end of its life it was falling apart.

No. It's just something poor people grow into. It just werks, and they never question it.
They'll never realize how miserable it is because they'll never get to experience a real headset of quality.

Try that bad boy. Best noise cancelling tech I have tried so far.
I works by emitting one(1!) loud initial soundwave, effectively cancelling the nuisance source forever.

Throughout the years I've tried many headphones from different makers - Sony, JBL, Jabra, Senheiser, Denon but none of them served me for as long as pic related, I shit you not. Creative Fatal1ty headphones, my mom bought them for me back in 2008 and I used them until 2016. They just worked and all the parts held really well until some strange microphone issue appeared that caused a very irritating sound to other people whenever I would talk. Other than the microphone, I bet if I dug around my parents' attic for a bit, I could find them and they would still work and sound alright.

>>100176715
Yeah, that's the problem. I have long hair (rust btw) and if it is even slightly wet and touches the touchpad surfaces on the side the feature turns back on.
And there's no way to turn the volume of that voice down, so if I'm listening to some great song and enjoying it, the condescending-sounding woman's voice starts talking while the volume of the song goes down to where it is barely perceptible, like some fucking HR-lady-giving-me-a-notice experience: "Low battery, please recharge headset".

If any anon has a rec on a headset that doesn't have the described issues, please share it with me
>>
>>100179175
I have the exact same model of headset as you and I also have long hair and that doesn't happen to me. You can just put the headset over your hair.

It's ok
I own the 1000XM5 and the M4 so I can compare them objectively.
The XM5s beat the M4s in ANC and user experience, but in sound quality the M4s sound way fucking better. ANC on the M4 isn't bad by any means, it just isn't as good as the XM5s
User experience though, the XM5s are so much nicer. The M4s fucking suck at detecting when you're actually wearing them, they basically don't auto turn off even after a full day, and the slide to increase volume sucks.
Overall even with the user experience that can suck at times, I still use the M4s far more often than the XM5 because of the sound alone. ANC is weaker sure but not bad.
