I have two main pairs of headphones, my cheapie Edifier W800BT pair. Used with my phone, sometimes, as a headset but the microphone is rubbish. OK for music but bass is very boomy.

And my 15+ year old Sennheiser HD280pros - not pictured, the plastic is breaking and has been held together with insulation tape for a long long time. Great for music but of course not wireless and no microphone. These have outlasted the Rio Karma and iPod video (with Rockbox) that I used to listen to music with.

I use both for music and both for videoconferencing. Only the Edifiers for phone calls but people can't hear me very well then :(

I have a 10yr old set of Digitech FA-003. They are a Jaycar clone of the Fischer FA-003 / Brainwavz HM5, OEM from the Headphone company Yoga.
They were a good find at the time and have served me well. Starting to show some age, plastic starting to do the surface breakdown thing.

Still use them as monitor headphones for recording and also part of mixing/mastering on Reaper. They are known for their clean and balanced sound reproduction.

It would be nice to have another set of good headphones which are not tethered.

I use the ear buds included with my iPhone, they are getting a bit long in the tooth. Usually listening to music.

I have AirPods Pro which I use for phone calls, podcasts and live radio. They don't quite have sufficient fidelity for music, but I would certainly listen to music on the Technics headphones.

These Bose QC35's are used to listen to music while walking to work, youtube videos, phone calls and Teams chats. The new technics headphones and earbuds look really good, maybe even the best looking on the market! Back in the late 90's/early 2000's I had a Technics CH-770 separates hifi system which I later replaced with a Technics EH-760 separates hifi system. Glad to see Technics are still around, I have no doubt these headphones/earbuds are top quality and sound amazing. Very cool prize to be giving away.

I have been using a Jabra headset. Teams meetings, youtube (when appropriate), training videos. Unfortunately, I have a habit of needing to move around and the result tends to be sound cutting in and out. :D

When working around others I need to use a headset to avoid confidentiality issues and also drown out colleagues who tend to talk and joke through meetings. I will be needing to replace my headset shortly, but would be great to win some great quality headphones like these.

I'm currently using a bog standard USB headset for my multitudes of online meetings.

The Technics sound like a breath of fresh air (literally)

My folks had a Technics Hi-Fi component system when I was growing up. Great sounding system. When I was in Japan a few years ago I had a drul over their very nice (and pricey) modern Hi-Fi gear.

These would replace my coming up 10 year old ATH-M50's which are starting to show their age. Use them for music in my home office.

Have very old and falling apart noise cancelling headphones, handing when mowing the lawn.

Also use headphones to listen to very quiet music at work which can prevent distraction on tasks of just the right complexity...

Have been using a set of noise cancelling Bose headphones for a number of years. Had lots of use when we could travel internationally but now used listening to audio on my MacBook.

Would love a set of these Technics headphones for our next international flight which is 'hopefully' very soon.......

I use old panasonic wired headphones plugged into phone or computer. Listen to music, podcasts or radio stations. These technics headphones would definitely be an upgrade.
