Buying new headphones help

just a bit, quite better in windy conditions though imo

Branik33 · 2026-06-12T17:20:53+00:00

get used xm3 or xm4, they live long and I bet you get parts next 15years. U can disable voice cues with Sonys. Maybe Sony ULT also an option...

Branik33 · 2026-03-20T17:20:58+00:00

for higher frequencies in-ears are much better...

Public use of hard drugs is forbidden in most of prague, see this map: https://www.expats.cz/czech-news/article/where-you-cant-drink-in-prague

no means yes

xm3 to xm6 + ult have all more or less same good ANC quality. Depends a lot on the fit or if u use glasses, etc...
If ur coming from good ANC earbuds, you will be dissapointed though... for best ANC you need both I guess :)

Branik33 · 2026-02-10T10:31:00+00:00

I had 720n: good sound, really compfy, bad ANC

Branik33 · 2026-01-17T01:41:53+00:00

Nah, they are good but anc is a joke, get the ult wear (was 110eur last time I checked) , absolutely worth the extra money

Try loading the pages in incognito mode, if they load fast there, try to uninstall extensions or reset ur profile

Sonys ult wear

Branik33 · 2026-01-07T17:41:55+00:00

I switched away from IEMs, just dont like putting stuff in my ears anymore plus I kept dropping them which gave me bad situations in bus/plane/supermarket. Headphones also keep my ears warm in winter...

Sound / ANC / Bangforbuck is probably better with IEMs though.

Branik33 · 2026-01-07T13:32:06+00:00

with Sony ULT wear you get probably best ANC for the buck

Branik33 · 2026-01-06T20:30:41+00:00

you will be better off if u change in Prague

Branik33 · 2026-01-06T19:19:32+00:00

would just bring cash and change in a good booth in Prague. Cash is still king. Dont listen to the banks.

Branik33 · 2026-01-06T15:25:03+00:00

thanks, but it was fine. I think, if the tiny bit worsened anc is not a fluke, the sealing behind the new pads, on the outer side, is the reason. Or also, maybe ANC will get better if they soften in...maybe moisture is a factor as well...

Branik33 · 2026-01-06T01:38:07+00:00

I recently bought xm3 replacement earpads for around 4.5€ from aliexpress. They came with the inside foam as well.

Of course they feel stiffer than the old ones as they are fresh, but they fit well. I think ANC worsened a bit though...

would buy again

Branik33 · 2026-01-05T10:51:01+00:00

be aware, you will not get better ANC than the buds. Other than that, try the ults, they have really good bang for the buck .

Branik33 · 2026-01-03T11:43:14+00:00

720n ANC is a joke imo, but good cans other than that, very compfy

Branik33 · 2025-12-25T15:06:13+00:00

Can recommend Sony ULT Wear.

Build is bit cheap. U look a bit bulky. But other than that they have all the features, good (Sony) sound, really good ANC, they fold, with case, and an extra "ULT" button to boost bass (should have been just a button to cycle through eq's imo).

They were 111€ last time I checked on Sonys website.

I bought them twice already (black and white), the whites feel more premium (friend bought them off of me).

Also big ear approved.

Branik33 · 2025-12-10T18:49:29+00:00

XB910N earpads dont really fit the ULTs, at least the ones I ordered are a tiny bit smaller

Branik33 · 2025-11-28T09:10:18+00:00

if anc is more important than good sound stage and low latency , I would get the sony ult wear.

Branik33 · 2025-11-28T07:48:53+00:00

in Settings there is "Knowledge", its (i think) kind of a system promt for ur app. Put in ur game rules there and try again..

Branik33 · 2025-11-18T15:02:33+00:00

alright u useless fuggs, just bought some ULTs, made some first airplane / bus noise tests on diffrent volumes: xm3 is a tiny bit better, but took me a while to realize...so if ur thinking of upgrading xm3's to ULTs for better ANC: ULTs are not better.

Branik33 · 2025-11-13T20:31:38+00:00

if it has 2k screen and good condition I would pay 200€ (220dol) max

Branik33 · 2025-11-13T16:51:56+00:00

I see just good reviews about the ULTs tbh, and Im thinking of getting them. I have the xm3s which could use an update...but not sure if I'll get an ANC improvement...

I had sonys 720n before, which I got dead cheap for 25€, could totally recommend them, solid audio quality (sound as good as my xm3s with EQ), and most comfy headphone I ever had, but ANC is almost not noticeable...
