I’ve found a good number of negative reviews of Bose QC 2 and quite a few good things said about Sony WF-1000XM5 so I’m leaning towards buying them but would love to hear the general recommendation on Lemmy first.
I live in a very noisy environment and need earphones for my sleep, when I work or relax, and for listening to podcasts as well as a bit of music. And since sleep is most important for me, I have in-ear comfort as the top priority.
I had QC 2s and liked them a lot. I tried out the Sony ones as well which are very good.
However these days I have Air Pod Pros which are easier lay down on a pillow with and also have excellent noise cancelling.
Full headphones can get hot and uncomfortable in warm weather, so I prefer earbuds these days.
