I have a pair of Sony WH-1000XM2 headphones which I use when walking, gardening, working around the house or travelling (though not much travelling recently).

 

I use them to listen to music from my phone.  They're pretty well-worn and battery doesn't last very well any more.

 

 

 

Here's a photo of the ones I'd replace:

Currently I have apple AirPods. I use them for music, podcasts, and phone calls.

 

I would use these for the same but probably more for listening to music at home and maybe watching movies if i could figure that out!

Below are my just working Logitech HD800s, good for my music and as a headset for conference calls that need replacing

 

the plus - BT and Wifi and comfortable

 

the minus - the battery is dead so only work with charging cable connected and no ANR 😭

While WFH I use my gaming wired Logitech headphones. Used for gaming, VC, and music/movies. 

 

While working in the office, I use a pair of Microsoft Lifechat's for Teams/Zoom sessions and a pair of EB Games BT headphones for music. However, I do have a ZEN DAC V2 and a pair of Meze Neo 99's on the way for an upgrade of my music listening playing FLAC from my Plex box.

Love some new headphones. If I won, they would replace these which I use to drown out the sounds of my kids when I'm working from home.

My daily drivers when working from home are a pair of Drop + Sennheiser HD6xxs, which seems overkill for mostly Teams calls and background Spotify/YouTube listening.

 

 

My office 'phones are a pair of Sennheiser HD569s, which are starting to show their age with crumbling earpads, but still fighting the good fight for the same workload.

 

Unfortunately wired headphones are not great for mobility, so I have no real way of listening to music on-the-go, or having to use a pair of wired buds that came with my phone for private calls. Having a set of BT headphones would be great for the above and... literally everything else in between. I'm finally ready to cut the 3.5mm cord and embrace wireless sound!

Would replace the standard Apple headphones I currently use for listening to music while doing dishes.

 

Depending on how they are might also use for some Teams calls or on my PC for gaming etc.

I've got Logitech G935's for gaming at home.

 

I've got Audio Technica M40's for music at work.

 

I've got BackBeat FIT 6100's for music on the train.

I have my S10 buds that came with the phone. I use them mainly for Music and Teams meetings on my phone as I think they mic quality would be better than my old laptop.

Uses
Listening and watching media on Laptop or PC, and wireless extends capabilities to other media devices and Phone.

 

Currently have RP-HC101 bought to try out noise cancelling when travelling more regularly 'many' years back, thus wires.
Having laptop and other stuff for meetings cluttering my handcarry they hardly ever made it.

 

Impounded by Mrs to watch and listen to her favorite media on PC and keep up her multi language skills.
Surely I am not that noisy around the house, that noise cancellation is needed ?

Currently Sennheiser HD 4.40BT getting quite old. 

 

Uses: Teams, Zoom and other meeting calls on laptop + listening to music on phone while working - how I wish they were multipoint as I keep having to disable bluetooth on one device to use on another.
