Right now I'm using a Jabra Elite Active 75t. To be honest, I am using it while riding my motorcycle or mowing the lawn.

Currently have some Kingston HyperX Cloud II's and although they are nice they are starting to fall apart and I am in desperate need of some shiny new ones! Use them to keep my wife happy when I'm online gaming so she can't hear those "annoying" noises and talking :)

"If you have headphones, what do you have now and do you use them for?"

 

 

I have the original Apple corded earphones and any upgrade would transform my listening experience!

Some Sennheisers for podcasts when commuting. Of course, can't remember the last time that happened......

 

And a Plantronics headset for music and conference calls when working.

I currently have a pair of Phillips Wireless Headphones SHC1300. Image is with them in the original box, they are now 11 years old.

 

I mainly use them for watching Movies at night so not disturb the family, but also for listing to music.

 

 

 

Being wireless is great because we have a wee one running around and cords across the floor are just not a good mix, he's not a fan of face-planting and his Mum (my daughter) even less-so.

 

And as luck would have it, they are on their last legs.  The Philips are 'very' sensitive to positioning and even the slightest movement of my head can cause loss of signal.  I look like a statue when using them.

 

 

 

I also have tinnitus and am very susceptible to ambient noise so I just LOVE the idea of noise-cancelling because there's plenty of that here!

 

Exciting competition, thanks 😁

I dont have any headphones. My wife is always going on about noise cancelling headphones so maybe would be great to see what all the fuss is about.

Go to Amazon, search for noise cancelling headphones, rank by user rating, and scroll down until you find the first ones that don't make your eyes water with the price. That's how I got the NoiseHush ones.

I'd replace my current pair of Vertux Denali which are mostly used for gaming on the PC or Xbox

I use these for practicing on the keyboard while keeping my wife and cat sane (I'm pretty bad)

Would be O so good to get the missus of my back when she wants to use my headphones. Mind you I could keep these and gift her my old set.

 

Big of me I know.

I use these old (7 years old) Sony MDR10-RBT's for watching videos while commuting on the bus, listening to music both at work and while commuting, they're also used for making photo calls, in essence, they're used for everything!

AirPods, regular type, podcasts and audiobooks mainly. Would love some noise cancelling ‘phones one day!

Cheers,
Joseph

I have a pair of Sure SE215 which I use mostly when travelling to listen to music or watch "tv" on my iPad but they can get quite tiring to wear after a while. Also have a pair of Technics EAH-DJ1200 that I love and use for occasional DJing (also not great for extended use). A new set of noise cancelling ones would be ideal for daily use :D

Oooh. Nice.

 

I have a Steelseries Arctic One cordless headset that I use for conference calls - these are good for calls but are not great-sounding headphones for music and are not noise-cancelling.

I have a Bose 35 series noise-cancelling bluetooth headphone that I listen to music, TV, movies, on. The earpieces are falling apart as you can see below - I'd replace them but I'm not a fan of the sound and the noise cancelling is not as good as the latest headphones - any of the Technics headsets would replace these. I have always had over-ears and prefer these but am not averse to earbuds.


I also have a corded Stax-80 (look and sound great but are open-backed so must be on my own to listen with them which severely limits their use) and Audio-Technica ATH-M50 headphones (headband is getting a bit grotty as you can see below) but theses days, I prefer the flexibility of cordless (and noise cancelling) cans.



Cheers,
Brett.
