Why
2 hours on the train every day and my $30 earbuds just died mid-podcast. Is the noise cancelling actually worth it or is it hype?
Cheaper alternative
Refurbished XM5A$329

Buy it. Two hours of daily use makes this well under a dollar a day over a few years. The refurbished XM5 gets you most of the way for less.

Over-ears are also way harder to lose than earbuds. Ask me how I know.

Hot take: Soundcore Space Q45 does 85% of this for $150. Sony tax is real.

The ANC on trains is genuinely life changing. Get the refurb XM5 tho, the 6s aren't $220 better.

Daily train commuter here. Got the XM5s two years ago and they're the best thing I own. 2 hrs a day = 500 hours a year of use.
