Actually, its more a case of the things I DON'T want to listen to that's more important to me.
I have a thing called Misophonia. I only learned it was a "thing" a year ago and it actually has a name. Basically anyone making eating noises makes me want to be violent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misophonia Misophonia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misophonia> en.wikipedia.org Misophonia, literally "hatred of sound," is a putative disorder of uncertain classification in which negative emotions, thoughts, and physical reactions are triggered ... So yeah, as soon as someone starts crunching on an apple, or some crackers or celery etc I pop on the noise cancelling headphones and crank up the music. It's saved lives. You would be surprised how often people eat noisily. You probably don't notice it, but I do. That feeling when someone drags fingernails down a blackboard and it sets your nerves on edge? That's how it feels only 10 times worse. So yeah, $500 is a small price to pay. The batteries also are awesome. I charge them every two or three days depending how much I use them. Sound great and better bass than my old pair. ________________________________ From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com <ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com> on behalf of DotNet Dude <adotnetd...@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, 7 July 2016 5:15:41 PM To: ozDotNet Subject: Re: Headphones Review [OT] You must be listening to some super special stuff for that price buddy On Thursday, 7 July 2016, Stephen Price <step...@lythixdesigns.com<mailto:step...@lythixdesigns.com>> wrote: Hey all, I recall some time ago there were people raving about their Bose QuietComfort 25's. I have some before they refreshed the model (didn't see the point of upgrading, as it was just a cosmetic upgrade on an already awesome set of headphones). I've been using Sennheiser bluetooth headphones (with an extra battery so I can swap and always have a full battery). Not cheap (about $450) and they broke in the middle of the headband but they replaced them under warranty (after 18 months!). Well, today I picked up my new set of Bose QuietComfort 35s (wireless!! what I've been waiting for 2+ years for). Impressed so far. 20 hours battery life according to the box (40hrs if using a cable), plus an app that shows your current battery. Lets you have multiple pairings, which you can switch with a flick of switch. (not tried that yet). I think the noise cancelling is better than the Sennheiser (as was my wired version). Not that the Sennheiser was bad at all, but Bose seems slightly quieter. The Bose also seems to have stronger Bass. So I'm really happy. It might not be as good for down time, if it goes flat as the battery is not removable... but may be able to charge while using em? or use cable and then charge when not listening to music. Just wanted to share in case someone wanted a set. Also not cheap $500 at JB HiFi, but daaaaamn, worth every cent (so far!) cheers Stephen
