I've got an old Plantronics headset at work for Google Meet and music, cant photograph as am stuck at home. The cord is mostly held together with sellotape as it keeps falling to bits!

 

The Technics set would be a welcome upgrade.

Notable mention goes to my Sony XM3’s which are now on work duty for zoom/teams calls.

The seal is good enough that I don’t have to use the noise canceling much, oddly enough I end up using the NC more for loud tasks like vacuuming or replacing those pesky alarm batteries.

Originally bought for when the office moved to open area hotdesking (which hasn’t turned out such a great idea) and cancelling out chitchat and other noises with ANC and music.

You’ll probably notice from the photo but I couldn’t get the mic to play nice with picking up background noise, I’ve stuck to using the 3.5mm and attaching a good ol’ Zalman zm-1 clip on to the end of a boom fashioned out of fluffy pipe cleaner(?) ends.

These are a poor excuse for headphones I use. They work but dot spark joy.

I currently have a pair of Beats Solo 3s that came free with my computer. I mostly use them with my computer for listening to music and conference calls while I work from home, and some casual gaming. Would love something over-ear (which I find more comfortable with glasses) and noise cancellation.

A-Audio Legacy headphones with the pleather flaking all over my ears for listening to music on my phone. Some Jabra wireless headset for my work computer and Audio Technica ATH-M50X for my gaming computer.

I have a very old (about 25 years!) pair of Philips wireless headphones I still use for different things. I am elderly and my hearing is sub-prime, though not bad enough to point me to hearing aids. But the headphones are sometimes useful for catching dialogue on TV and movies. I have the transmitter plugged into the TV headphone jack. I also have digital audio to the receiver and can listen through the headphones when that is off.

 

I also use them for listening to music, especially when I am in the kitchen and moving around the house. They are very useful. 

 

Don’t be put off by appearances. The earpads disintegrated years ago so I used foam glue to attach DIY replacements. Very comfortable and they work perfectly!

 Sony XM3's, wear them 9 hours a day, music and teams calls while at work and on the bus. Gaming when at home. As ear muffs when mowing the law.

The Technics look very nice. They would replace my venerable Sony MDR-10RBT's that I've had for many years and which are now on their second pair of ear pads. Great set of phones that sound OK enough for music, excellent for podcasts and while they don't have noise reduction, they block out enough sound that I use them when lawn mowing and hedge trimming as well as just phone calls.

If I were to win the headphones they would be an amazing replacement for my aging Sony mdr zx770, and Plantronics headset for work

Aside from being used for work, they would also be more enjoyed listening to music, playing on PlayStation, and if I ever get to travel overseas again.

The Technics EAH-A800 would bring a lot more detail, clarity and joy listening to music


I can't seem to add any pictures, is it because I'm not a subscriber?

These would be great to replace my aging jaycar branded headphones I’ve been using for years, finally ditch the cord and the horrible lightning to 3.5mm adaptors to listen to Spotify at home in peace
