These would be fantastic to upgrade my aging jaybird freedoms that I use to listen to podcasts whilst out walking our dog, it used to be while at the gym but I…. Er….. stopped

I currently use Sennheiser. It would be great to have a pair of noise cancelling headphones

I've currently got Corsair Void Pro (wired), but the wire is starting to fray by the earpiece, and further down the cable where it looks like the chair has run over it!  I use them for gaming/Discord, general streaming video, and Teams when working from home.

My Sony XM3's get smashed. They are used pretty much every day. The hinges are starting to go wonky from the use. The new Technics would replace these.

I love my cheap marley earbuds, very good sound for the price but I'd definitely use these Technics instead for my home laptop, cinema sound come to me!

I have a trusty old pair of QC25s.  Fine for when I'm static but I decided I was fed up with being tethered while on the move.  Spotted these wireless buds for half-price and bought them....big mistake.  The controls are as user-friendly as an ashtray on a motorbike and they suffer so much interference it's like listening to the radio in a car and driving through a short tunnel every few hundred meters.  So yeah, I really need a pair of these wireless Technics in my life.

I would love these, having grown up with Technics and it was my first sound system (with cassette) and record player. 

 

I even picked Technics over the Pioneer equivalent of the era.

 

The reason I would uses these and appreciate them is because I don't have anything currently and need to get some headphones soon.

 

I would be using them to noise cancel my young kids screaming and shouting when they are playing together. As I believe I will be deaf soon if I don't get something!

I got a pair of Bluetooth ones from Mighty Ape,TM 061 to replace some wired Panasonic for watching TV and listening to music.

I look like an alien with all the coloured lights on it flashing to the music (who knew they had lights) and you can’t turn them off easily, it's hit and miss. They are also so tight on my head they feel like a vice therefore they are now mostly a coffee table ornament, so will throw my hat in the ring too.

Currently rocking some Sennheiser PXC550's, used to us them for my rare plane trips and now use them for walking. Wind noise is baaaaaad with these though so would be keen as to try something new that reduces that!

Panasonic  RP-HC200

 

Used to use them while flying overseas. But unlikely to do that for some time.

 

Now I use them while viewing YouTube on a tablet so that I don't disturb my wife.

This is my first pair of headphones. From memory they cost $15 from Noel Leeming. They're some no-name Chinese made headphones that are extremely lightweight, reasonably comfortable and sound better than you'd expect. They don't get much use these days, unless I'm going somewhere where I won't be able to recharge my Bluetooth headphones.

 

 

 

 

These are my Plantronics BackBeat Sense Bluetooth headphones. They're lightweight, very comfortable and have about a 15 hour battery life. I use them for listening to audiobooks and podcasts. They have handy controls on the left earpiece for play/pause, next track, previous track and volume adjustment.

I'd replace my wired Sennheiser momentums pictured below. I'd use for music listening mainly with computer and phone.

 

Zoom calls as well, easy to forget you are tethered sometimes.

My goto for listening to music are these Audio Technica ATH-M50x but are too heavy for me to use daily on Team calls so use wireless plantronic BT600 bluetooth headset.
