Audio-Technica headphones. My first pair was the ATH-M50, and despite being an Apple fanatic I still think AirPods (and Beats before) sound like trash.
Damn, see I loved A-T but then I got their earbuds and was supremely disappointed.
I’ve never liked earbuds but I’ve thought about picking some up recently due to my recent obsession with podcasts (wearing huge over ear headphones just for podcasts feels silly).
Do you have any recommendations? Initially I wanted AirPods (for the convenience) but the audio quality is just awful. I was actually looking at some Audio-Technica ones recently.
Well, my favorites have been the sennheiser momentum (currently have the TW4). I’ve gone through a few and splurged on the A-T, but for sound quality, comfort, and noise cancellation, I haven’t found any better than the Sennhesier momentum.
The one downside is the case and the buds themselves are a little bulkier because they’re one solid shape as opposed to the little stem coming out from the bottom like the AirPod. So everything is self contained in one squarish-roundish shape. They’ve gotten smaller since the older 2’s that I had, but still a little bigger than the design style with the stem.
A big part for me is privacy, and I think sennheiser are the best for that too. That I’ve been able to find, anyway.
