I’m really needing new headphones to drown out the noise when I’m out on Public transit or just at home during panic attacks.

Very small requirements for anybody that has some they enjoy.

Bluetooth and works with android devices (preferably without a app aka natively). Has good noise cancelling and can block out most sounds but doesn’t have horrible ringing in them (I’m using from the super cheap kinda noise cancelling?) doesn’t have to be good with music but preferred though.

In ear or over idc about that

Has to be under 100.

If anybody has recommendations it would be awesome.

Fyi new to Lemmy so forgive me if I don’t do some proper “etiquette”. Also autism :p

    My Sony WH-1000XM4 (catchy name there, Sony) are treating me pretty well. They’re not perfect, not by any stretch, but they do help a lot esp when you put music on em.

    Absolutely indispensable at conventions. Too many people talking at once, no escape, autistic shutdown hits, I become unresponsive and start to lash out at anyone trying to talk to me, 10 minutes walking around wearing those and listening to lofi and suddenly I feel like a human again

      I can also recommend the XM4s. The XM5s are $50 more, but everything I’ve read tells me that whatever they did to upgrade from the XM4s doesn’t make much of a difference and that the extra cost is not justified.

      The only problem I have with the XM4s is that it is sometimes eerily quiet with noise canceling on. So quiet, in fact, that it is disconcerting and I get dizzy because of it.

        Wicked cushions has good replacement ear cups as well for like 30$.

        Also the swivel hinges are prone to breaking but i managed to find a 3d print file with not much difficulty and was able to fix mine surprisingly easy, though i didnt have to replace any orings thankfully.

        But god damn do i love my xm4s
