Sennheiser HD 380 Pro
- still going strong in their 6th year. Pads replaced twice and one cord upgrade. I use them to listen to sound on my main PC. They live there permanently now.

I use the JBL  LIve 650BTNC headphones. Use these for listening to movies, some music and connecting to phone. Also use the noise cancelling to cut out unwanted noise from outside.

I currently use a Jabra headset for working from home. Aside from Teams and Zoom meetings, I occasionally listen to music and watch articles and technical training videos online.
The Jabra headset has no noise cancelling but works well enough except when I run over the cable with my chair.
Wireless with NR would be a dream to my aging ears.

I bought my first real pair of NC headphones in duty free at the airport several years ago. Model is Sony MDR-ZX770BN, a mostly good but ultimately flawed pair of cans. Both sides snapped in the same place  at the swivel joint, each time repaired with a small steel plate, screws and glue. It remains functional, but has now been passed on to my daughter for video calls and lockdown schooling.

 

I now have a pair of WH-1000XM4's that I'm mostly pretty happy with, used for the daily telecommute, music and movies when the kids are in bed. There are a few niggly issues so it would be great to see how the Technics ones compare. Either way, if I win my daughter will be getting an upgrade!

I have a pair of old Sony WH-1000XM2 headphones - I mainly use them when I am commuting on public transport.

 

 

 

Cheers.

I currently have Sony MDR-ZX770BN headphones, bought quite a few years ago.

I use them to listen to podcasts in the main, one of their valuable party tricks is that I can use them in lieu of earmuffs while mowing the lawn; the NC is good enough to let me listen to podcasts adequately while drowning out the mower at least as well as my earmuffs.

However, the voice quality has been likened by others to being down the bottom of a well, so I no longer bother to use them on calls. I have friends, family and colleagues who have purchased current-generation NC headsets, and the cancellation is streets ahead of my ones; I think it's time to enjoy the benefits of the past 6 years or so of development in this field.

I have a pair of 8 year old Sennheiser TR120 headphones which I use to listen to music, podcasts and videos.  However, at the moment they are out of action due to worn out volume controls, for which I am trying to find replacements.

I mainly use my bose QC35s or sony mdr-zx770bn headphones when doing yard work or working on stuff in the garage. The bose when mowing because they sound worse and I care less about them than the sonys. I would probably demote the sonys to mowing duty since they work better than the bose by a long way for bluetooth and audio quality, and then use the technics when working in the garage. The bose have no track controls which is aweful.

 

Here is a google image picture of the bose and also the sony incase people have forgotten what they look like.

I also have some shure se535s that I have in the past used when working but the cable got to be a pain on them despite sounding so much better than my other options.

 

 

Also, I have a whole lot of dollar store and kmart headphones that I have bought when out and forgotten my good ones and it was christmas time and there were people and songs when shopping. Those go in a box and will remain there.
