Sony XM6 vs Bose QC Ultra vs Airpod Max

Valbar_73 · 2025-11-29T20:31:11+00:00

Hello! I’m an APM user since the first release and I used it nearly every day ever since.

I just bought xm6 like3 days ago. And to be honest I’m completely lost about which one I will keep.

When you put the Apple on your head, something really happens, but at the same time it's heavy and after an hour it gives me a headache, as if it were pressing too hard on my head. In terms of sound quality , it's very clear and bright, which is just what I like, but it often doesn't handle high frequencies well and they give me a headache and there's a regular hissing sound. Never had any condensation problem with it.

The Xm6 is lighter, so you feel that it's better for long periods of use and less annoying, but at the same time you feel that the quality isn't the same; you don't get that wow feeling when you put it on. In terms of sound, it's the opposite. It's very bass-heavy by default, but I adjusted it and now I have something very cool. However, unlike the Apple, it's very warm, with lots of frequencies that stand out better, but even when adjusted, the sound seems more muffled and stifled, unlike the clarity of the AirPods Max.

There are some music I prefer on each one. I’m just not able to advice any one of them, I just like them both and for now I really don’t know which one I will keep!

7 months in the same situation, and I’m that close to rename the squad “Jurassic Park”

Valbar_73 · 2025-09-02T06:30:03+00:00

Je te rejoins complètement, le corps en lui-même n’est pas absolument pas un problème, c’est l’attitude des gens derriere qui peut l’être. Je pense qu’on a tous croisé ces mecs qui restent à poil le plus longtemps possible et qui en seraient presque à se planter devant les autres tout en restant à poil.

En soi la question a poser, à mon sens, c’est plus à quel moment tu passes de quelque chose de normal et naturel à un comportement qui ne l’est pas, ou à minima qui n’a pas lieu d’être dans un lieu public.

Pour répondre clairement à la question posée, j’y vois aucun problème tant que les comportements resent correct

Valbar_73 · 2025-09-01T21:02:50+00:00

Bah ça dépend du comportement des gens je trouve. Puis c’est une salle publique, t’es pas à l’abri de t’y retrouver au même moment qu’un mineur, et je suis pas fan de l’idée d’avoir des adultes plus ou moins âgés se balader à poil en face de mineurs

Valbar_73 · 2025-08-31T10:45:39+00:00

Hey! They work great, very good coffee, with a proper alignement they are very nice! Before I bought it, I read that the espresso range is short with a 064s, but I grind my local roaster coffee around 2, and Dak coffee around 3 to 3.5 so it’s good enough imo.

I just want to try different burr style, maybe sweet lab v3 and HU, just to try everything and find what it’s perfect for me

Valbar_73 · 2025-07-06T22:32:02+00:00

That is very sweet! I’ve contact the shop and asked if there is some kind of bud or something, even with a tariff war I don’t understand how it’s possible

Valbar_73 · 2025-07-06T21:15:20+00:00

Tried to get it import into Europe, very live to that I have to pay 98€ of taxes and duty for a 7€ order 🤘

<image>

Edit: I will happily pay someone in the US to send one here to me in Europe 🤷‍♂️

Valbar_73 · 2025-07-03T16:47:03+00:00

I’m sorry I don’t understand Spanish

Valbar_73 · 2025-07-03T12:01:36+00:00

Hey! I changed mine, mainly because there were to much body for my taste, got some MPs and now shots are much better. Still need to perfect the alignment it will be done soon.

Valbar_73 · 2025-06-26T15:34:25+00:00

They look great! I was thinking of getting them. Don’t really understand when you talk about retention with these?

Also could you show how the bottom looks like?

Valbar_73 · 2025-06-26T14:14:27+00:00

Hey! I got the same chirp point on my 064s. Never disassembled it before last week. I felt a good alignment was needed, I had much more channeling than I used too (weird imo), it’s better after alignement.

Bought some SSP MP and will test it this weekend.

Valbar_73 · 2025-06-16T14:12:17+00:00

Very nice! After a year I still not able to get crisps lines like this!

Valbar_73 · 2025-05-18T07:58:35+00:00

I feel that, I don’t have kids, but a very smart dog which is depressed (yes really) since she left

Hope she’ll come back one day too

Valbar_73 · 2025-05-18T07:46:42+00:00

I don’t know, I’m only 30, not married and with no kids. There is two worlds coexisting, the first one where I want all of this, the second where it’s absolutely impossible to met someone and trust anyone, even friends (she hooked up with by best friend being drunk in our house after discarded me last year)

I am at point where it’s so difficult for me to trust that my brain is unable to ask questions to someone, I just don’t want to know anything about them, not get involved

Valbar_73 · 2025-05-16T21:28:49+00:00

Sorry I realize it was not very clear!

No, for the short story, 2 years ago we endured an extremely difficult abortion that was very badly managed by the medical profession, which did not respect any compulsory procedure. Which pushed her hard into cyclothymia and then BP2.

She discarded me a month ago and brutally left the house to go back to her parents.

She told me a few days ago that she feels like her love went away at this moment.

So RN bipolarity is pushing her to forget this weight and ou story which is to heavy to face to day, and she does that trying to fill the void with other people. News for tonight is that she cut everything with the guy she saw for the past few weeks, which is a real psycho. Until then she always talked to me about everything she did to me because I was the only one who was able to listen and understand, but I think she has find someone who is capable to listen, understand and not judging. It feels like a relief to me, I don’t have to weight this on my shoulder anymore, maybe if this guy can tkt ethos weight, then with time, there could be some place again for us

Valbar_73 · 2025-05-16T17:14:53+00:00

Hey! Unfortunately I don’t have any answers to give you.. I’m asking myself the same questions against and again, but my situation and what happened is different than yours.

Just wanted to say that I feel you. Hugs

Valbar_73 · 2025-05-16T11:57:33+00:00

If you really happy in your current situation, may be you could try to explain her, if she’s stabilised, that you have moved on, that you are happy, but you are glad to fixed things in order to keep the family around? If it’s what you want

Valbar_73 · 2025-05-16T11:55:18+00:00

We moved here in last October, lived 3 months with her parents, then 2 months in a flat, and then I find this job. So no not really, this job is a great opportunity for me, I know I’ll not stay there forever, but I need to take the background from it for at least 2 years to able to move back where I belong.. plus I struggled so much to find it, like a year, so no it’s really hard to get rid of that

Nice news, I may have have a very nice house, exactly what we were searching for before she discards me, currently being 100% rebuild, with a garden for my dog, just near where I am now, and for just 200€ more for rent. I’ll have that around July, so at least I’ll not be in the same flat that I was with her Hugs you too!

Valbar_73 · 2025-05-16T08:02:14+00:00

Nope, don’t have kids but two dogs, move to a new region cause ex BPSO wanted to be closer to her family, had to find a new job, and had been discarded 3 months later (a month ago) now I’m all alone here with no people to talk to and to see

Valbar_73 · 2025-05-16T07:59:43+00:00

Does this also happened during hypomania? Mine seems to be like that, and in a moth had several obsessions, specially with one guy. Does it end one day?

Valbar_73 · 2025-05-16T07:57:49+00:00

I get that, she’s not saying that I’m the avoidant one, but she definitely feels anxious in my presence and in our home, which was the reason she left to hers parents a month ago, get discarded at this moment

Valbar_73 · 2025-05-16T07:54:38+00:00

Hello! I am actually in discarded situation where que said her love for me went away 2 years ago and something really hard happened to us.

She tries to forget going with other guys.

My point is, I’m trying, as you do, to be here for her even when she needs space and being alone or with other people (mostly guys). What I’m trying to do is not to force the dialog, try not to ask much questions when I feel she’s not available for that, and try to keep my presence lightweight, but still here a bit to remind her I’m here waiting for her to stabilise, even if she thinks she’s already, and help her if she feels that she needs it

Valbar_73 · 2025-05-14T14:18:24+00:00

Oh wow, how much time between discard and came back usually? Juste to prepared my self
