The Best Noise-Cancelling Headphone? Bose 700 Review

I’ve been wanting to get my hands on with this noise-canceling cans for quite some time now but I just couldn’t justify purchasing one because I don’t really travel that much and also because I feel IEMs are more than capable alternatives for the land commute.

0

Let me begin this article by saying my experience with audiophile DAPs (digital audio players) is quite limited. I’ve used some players for short-term periods in the past but I’m generally prioritizing practicality when it comes to music on the go. I’m more than content with listening to Spotify and even do it with wireless headphones at times.

Focal Spirit Classic Review

Prior to learning about their headphone line and owning the Spirit Classic, I’ve always known Focal as a manufacturer of high-end home speakers. Since then, they’ve released close to 10 different models of headphones and earphones alike and I was fortunate to try some of them out. I have the Spirit Classic for 3 years and counting so I figured it’s about time to finally write a long-term review and share what I think about it.

JBL E65BTNC Review

I’ve reviewed some noise-canceling headphones in the past and while they’re far more expensive than their non-NC counterparts, the convenience that it gives people who need them far outweighs its cost. If you are that person who travels and has a real need for it. How does it fare for the rest of us though? It depends on how much value we’re placing on its specific features.

AKG K240 Studio Headphone Review

I reviewed quite a decent number of AKG headphones in the past and while I haven’t been blown away by any of the ones that I’ve gotten my hands on, I would say as a whole that they seemed to be pretty decent for the most part. I was sent a pair of AKG K240 studio which is quite a popular headphone from what I can tell and I’ll tell you my findings in this review.

The Beautiful Audioquest NightHawk Headphones

Every once in a while we stumble upon headphones that don’t come from well-known manufacturers in this space like the Sennheisers, Audio-Technica’s, Beyerdynamics, Sonys, what have you. We tend to get a little excited whenever this happens as there’s a mystery that comes into play when getting our hands-on with them.
