If I need ANC on the go, I use my APP2s, which sound good and the ANC is top-notch. If I need ANC at the office or whatever and can run it off a PC, I just PEQ my old WH1000XM3s to sound decent, though their stock tuning is ass. Passive isolation isn't really a substitute for ANC, as it does nothing for low-frequency rumble.
The new Senny HDB 630's seem to be getting a lot of hype, and they have PEQ built in, but I haven't got my hands on them yet.
Right. That’s good to hear. I’m considering to buy the APP3.
May I know what you meant by the “intentional slight nerfing of the APP2 ANC”? I also suspect that my ANC got worse after updating my APP2, but I’m not sure about it. Are you referring to Apple purposely releasing updates to make the ANC of the APP2 worse?
It’s weird isn’t it. I got the EW300s a few weeks ago and I immediately wanted to upgrade and read through a ton of posts here.
I think it’s because years and years ago I had the original wired apple earbuds, then I got M-Audio IE10s and was blown away by the clarity. Then I got shure se215s, then I got into KZ buds like a decade ago, then shure 425s and finally AirPods Pro. I’ve had those for like 6 years or whatever and when I got the simgots recently I remembered just how much detail music could have. And the fact that they are less than a third of what my shures cost made me think well if $80 gets me this good of sound, what does $300 get me??
I love the imaging and separation of the EW300s and I really want even more
