My trusty and crusty Sony MDR-V200. I've had them since 1997. Still sound great but it is pretty hard to connect them to anything these days without dongles and doodakies and bending over backwards.
I'd love a new pair of wireless over ear headphones to listen to music while I work and answer those pesky phone calls that break my flow ;-)
cheers,

I use my Roland RH-5's mainly for podcast recording and a wee bit of YouTube and audio stuff.
They've served me well given their price but aren't anything fantastical.
I've got some Jabra Rox headphones, and use them for music when in tight spaces. Their little wingtip things catch on shirts and jackets, they fall off at the most inopportune times (and finding them again is a nightmare).
I'd love to get something with decent noise-cancelling for use in the workshop - starting to get into woodworking, and machinery is loud when working. That and music when others in the household are asleep.
HI I think these are Digit-al brand as shown on the side of the phones. I got them quite a few years ago, (maybe 10), to improve my tv watching experience. They are wireless but 'true' wireless in that they're not bluetooth they are on some kind of radio frequency. I'm not sure what it is. They worked very well and I could walk 50 metres or more out of the house wearing them and still hear the tv, (or whatever the sender unit was plugged into). Quite good. At the time similar was about $350 at DickSmiths - these cost me $45 from Trademe with postage included. Excellent bargain. However the sender unit relatively recently died. Interestingly enough I can, using the headphones alone, pick up the police transmissions in the general area. I have to stand in a certain part of the room and cover one cup with my hand as that improves reception, (! lol !).
Anyway, some nice new headphones would be a HUGE bonus and I'll use em for watching tv, listening to other sound outputs, (the stereo, the computer, my phone, etc etc).

I recently purchased a set of hearing aids. They are fantastic but they don't have bluetooth capability and have limited sound quality. I would love to own a set of Technics headphones to be able to use on flights, music streaming and WhatsApp calls. They would make a huge difference in my life.
I currently use some wired AKG on-ear headphones.
They are used often (daily) for listening to music (currently with Deezer), and also daily for listening to Audible Audio books while I exercise.
I'm currently listening to the recently released Andy Serkis narrated LOTR trilogy. Andy Serkis (who played Gollum) is an outstanding narrator and really adds life to the LOTR Audible re-release, so I do highly recommend this listen!
I would dearly love to win an up-to-date wireless solution with the amazing Technics quality!
Either the over-ear noise cancelling Technics head-set with Alexa built-in (as I currently use Alexa with the "read" command to resume my Audible book listening).
If I miss out on the over-ear solution, the wireless Technics ear-bud solutions would also be an awesome upgrade, especially for when I'm exercising on the cross-trainer or exercycle (when I wear my current AKG headphones to listen to Audible while exercising).
So my fingers are crossed for some 2022 competition luck! :)
Here's my existing AKG headphones (they're good but not in the Technics league):

I mainly use mine when listening to MY music rather than OUR music, but they are also useful when we are camping to stay up and watch TV while the other person sleeps (as long as I don't watch comedy's and laugh too loundly!).
Any comment made here is my own and should not be taken as that of my employer.

I have Endeavour Wireless Neckband, Model A3 - basically cheap and cheerful.
I use them for listening to audiobooks, podcasts or music when I'm at home, and when I'm out walking; making voice calls.
I'd use my new Technics headphones for all of the above, plus being able to reliably use them for online meetings.
I'd use my new Technics earbuds for all of the 'inside' activities above, plus being able able to reliably use them for online meetings.
Thanks Mauricio!!!
