You may (or may not) remember that I stopped using noise canceling headphones while out and about. Since then, I've discovered that there's still one place that I need ANC, and that's when I'm sitting on a bus or train seat. I've experienced too many chanting sports fans and crying children to go ANC free all the time.
But I thought I'd try something new as I take ANC back into my life — to see how Sony's latest noise cancelers stack up to my personal favorite noise canceling headphones, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra gen 2. I've been using the WH-1000XM6 as my primary noise cancelers for a week now to see whether they'll be my new portable companions. Here's what happened.
