I can't find the perfect ANC headphones
So, it is simple, i tried quite all the ANC wireless Headphones, Sennheiser, Sony, Bose, B&W, Focal, Technics, etc etc
So all of them have their strenghts, but no one off them is perfect for what i am searching for, because of 2 problems :
-
Sound leakage, i am travelling in train à lot, so it is in a pretty quiet cabine everytime, and they all have more or less sound leakage, at least enough for the person next to me to hear my music... the best for that i believe was the sony Xm5, but this good isolation came at the cost of an horribly sweating earcup...
-
ANC, so, for this market, or you have average sound for very good ANC, or very good sound for average ANC ahah. This is like a snake biting its tail... Sony or Bose have insane ANC's but for average sound (muddy, less define, over bass, bad soundstage etc). In the other hand B&W and Focal have insane sound, like just, wow, but for average ANC, i can hear the cars, the bus, people talking, etc etc
I'm a french (sorry for the poor english) student who love quality sound (i feel the difference between between all these headphones and i am more happy with the best ones), but who also need good ANC, for my travels, daily commutes, isolation when i am working etc etc...
So yeah, for the moment i can't find the perfect headphone for me, i didn't tried the ultra of Bose yet but i am not expectating an insane upgrade, that's sad...
PS : i don't like earbuds for the comfort during long-time-wearing and the poor sound quality.
If someone has any tips or secret brand that no one know about, i am here 😂
