Headphones Master Thread

Pros that good that it's worth getting them to use with an android?

No, get the Bose.

[YitzyS]

Aside from the connection being easier, is it any different than with iPhone?

On Apple it has spatial sound. When watching certain videos, it can make it sound like the audio is coming from the screen and not from your earbuds

Not sure if it was discussed already,
Is the expensive noise cancelation headphone like Bose, Beats, Sony designed to work with a Smartphone, or it will have same benefits with any device like Mp3 player..?
On the Apple pod Max I know will have real benefits with iPhone only.

It's definitely designed around smart devices.

There's two separate things when it comes to  Bluetooth headphones, there's getting the audio from the player to the headphones reliably and clearly (and low latency), and there's the extra features like playback controls noise Cancelling control and and other "extra features".

An mp3 player generally speaking won't have any controls beyond what's in the Bluetooth protocol pretty much play and pause, and that should apply to any headphones, Apple's included.

In regards to reliability, there's the Bluetooth standards like 4.1, 4.2, 5 etc. Where generally the higher the better but both the device and headphone needs to have it for it to be helpful. Then there additional things which can improve the reliability which is in addition to the Bluetooth standard, like I'm sure Apple has with their hardware and Samsung has with their phones etc.

An off the head overview sorry if I got some stuff wrong

What attachment are you guys using for those that still have the Bose25 over the headphone's. To convert to Bluetooth.

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones with Spatial Audio is on sale everywhere, now $379.

Looking to buy new earphones with the following details:
- Airpod shape (i.e. not round like Galaxy Buds)
- Comfortable
- Good for calls (will be using for meetings at work)
- Decent for music (less often)
- Under $50

I had these https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08R6RZYXH?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title until now, they're decent for what I need, but lost one of the pair so it's time to search again. I've done well with Anker in this price range but open to other brands.
Wondering if I can get something with a little more bells and whistles for my price range - Android app would be amazing.
I tried researching online, but it was much harder to narrow down with the added detail of good call quality.
Any recommendations?

ETA Looks like this updated version is really highly rated and is 40% off right now. Might get them, but open to other recs!
