Sigh, more money to spend and sadly it seems I am now a headphones/earbuds collector in addition to all my Mac stuff ( don’t need the justification, I’m on medical retirement and audio gets a good workout when I’m using the free highspeed wifi during dialysis.

I forgot (age) to snag Beats Studio Pro’s when they were 1/2 price during Prime last week. I’m looking fora good pair of on ear/over ear cans b/c unless I get the absolute earbud tips, they can fall out when I headbang.

The only on-ears i have are Monster Crusher ANC2’s(??) and Sony WH-1000XM3’s, which I think suck; but I never put time into optimizing. The APP2s are dialed in nicely with good sound (Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Hawkwind, Saxon and other metal). So now something with a bit more playing capacity would be nice (20+ hours or so with ANC on and spatial audio preferably for late night classical listening).

Cats would def have a harder time lugging around those when they slip off my head during late night in bed listening. Having the ability to use USB-c connections would also be nice. Am aware of the AirPods Max, just don’t like how they look (I know, petty).

Tom, who is currently listening to Powerslave and trying not to fall asleep during dialysis (only about 70 minutes of sleep last night).
