For me, some new headphones might manage to replace both by Sony XM3s and by Logi wired headset.

 

XM3s are used just about everyday on my morning walks ... very comfortable, great sound, good battery ... but the wind noise detection / reduction leaves a bit to be desired. On top of that, they aren't much use for video calls due to the microphone, hence the need for the not so comfortable wired headset ... would be great to replace two with one. :)

 

 

 

Edit - on my walks, XM3s mostly used for podcasts, but sometimes music too.

Currently have Sony XM2; mostly used for listening to Music and/or watching TV/Movies when commuting.

 

Back when I commuted before the mostly 100% WFH regime of course!

I do quite a bit of VC throughout the day and also take a lot of phone calls from my phone.. It would make my life a whole lot easier if I had a headset I could pair with both my laptop and phone to take calls with without having to keeps chopping and changing all the time. 

 

Currently using a Logitech g935 which is very big, bulky, heavy and has terrible battery life with the laptop and airpods for my phone calls.

 

I often listen to music/podcasts throughout the day and the G935 leaves a lot to be desired in terms of audio performance

 

Lastly I have a pair of XM4's (which ive left in the office - yay for ANC) but they're strictly for music/podcast or traveling as they're horrible for VC or phone calls.. so a pair of technics that does it all would be amazing!

I use a pair of wired sony headphones for my phone calls while working and an old pair of wire Bose headphones when at the gym. Any of these headphones will be great talking on the phone while I work and use at the gym.

I have some Sennheiser HD 4.40 BT Wireless Over-Ear Headphones that I use for video calls and listening to music. While the sound quality and build quality are both awesome, they're uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time, as they squeeze my head tightly.

I have had a pair of Harman/Kardon bluetooth headphones for ages and could do with a replacement for sure.  Using it at work for listening to music and sometimes for online chat sessions.

Have OG airpods - use these for work calls (Team/Zoom) and music when running - sometimes the fall out. These would replace airpods for work I think.

I currently have a pair of JBL Under Armour True Wireless Flash earphones, that I use mostly for music but have been trying to connect to my laptop for work calls. Which is simply not working very well!

 

I'm sure a set of Technics headphones would do a much better job.

I have some HyperX headphones but avoid using them as the mic boom is a pain and cable is annoying. Would love some wireless headphones to listen to music and for conference calls when kids are home and noisy

Currently I use the Samsung Galaxy Buds which came with my S10. I use these mainly in the gym, or on public transport. Some proper noise cancelling headphones like these would be great to use on trains or planes etc.
