@lemmy.worldHey all, I've narrowed it down to 3 options: AKG K371 (at €149) AKG K361 (at €104) AKG K182 (at €69)
Use case is just at my desk. I have CX Wireless for on the road and wireless listening.
I like a full low end and defined, crisp highs. I mostly listen to soft easy listening like Mazzy Star or rougher rock bands like Evanescence, Bad Omens etc. I also listen to melodic electronic music.
I've read a lot of reviews and I can't really decide on the soundstage. For this I've chosen AKG because I have the K512 mk2's now and I've been very pleased with them.
As for comfort, I need them not to clamp after an hour or two. I don't mind having to pause every now and then.
Any other recommendations welcome.
But bottom line, I think 69 for the K182 is a great deal even though the K3x1s might be better cans.

Do the first Sonos wireless headphones live up to the hype?
I currently have have some Bose QuietComfort earbuds but the case the case for them is quite thick and doesn't easily fit in a front pocket. I am wondering what's out there with a form factor similar to AirPods.
Here's a picture of the current headphones I have
Some other features that are important to me are:
Transparency mode
Active noise cancelling
Comfortable
Not going to easy fall out of my ears
Decent IP (Ingress Progression) rating
Multipoint so I can toggle between devices
I feel like the Jabra Elite 10 looks promising.

It's hard now. I just need a pair of wired earbuds (not IEM's! I don't want to carry those around with me for washing dishes :p)
I bought a pair of what I thought were urBeats 3 on eBay which turned out to be counterfeit. Upon further research, those are quite rare to find brand new anyway, so that's a bust.
I'm easily impressed. I'll freely admit that. I just need something that'll get the job done, but not sound like crap while their at it
