hi all
i'm trying out a pair of sony wh-1000xm4, my first noise cancelling headphones. my other headphones are non-noise cancelling sennheisers, of similar price. i use those to listen to music when i'm out on walks.
so, i was aware these wouldn't block out all sounds --- and find that they seem more effective at blocking out lower frequencies. i probably would find that useful, because those frequencies really annoy me, and travel far. but, i'm not sure i'll find these headphones useful enough, frankly.
so i'm wondering how others like their noise cancelling headphones? especially vs. standard headphones. for me --- i'm trying to decide if the noise cancelling feature is worth it. i've been walking around my house with the tv, stereo, etc on, wearing them.. they seem to make the unpleasantly loud sounds bearable, they also quiet lamp buzz, etc. this is with noise cancelling on. but - just not sure it's worth the $ and effort.
thank you! happy holidaze.
