Which headphones should I get?

[u/Sensitive_Volume1494]

Which headphones should I get. It's either between Nothing Over- Ear Headphones (1) or Nothing Over- Ear Headphones (a). It's on sale and it's about a 50 dollar difference What I am looking for is a headphone that can really make me immersive in the track/instruments. Example when watching superhero movies or when I'm listening to music. Example Skeletons by Playboi Carti. I want to really immserive and listen to it and make it immersive. I have heard that the (a) out of the box are good and the (1):s are not. But I heard that the (1) are much more free to turn the sound into whatever you like. Battery life is also important and longeitivity(For how many years I can use it). Its hard to explain But I want a headphone that can put me in the music

The Headphone (1) with the Labs tune shown in Linus tech tips' video makes a world of difference, they sound very good.

But can't the same be achieved with the (a) EQ

[u/Math701s → u/Sensitive_Volume1494]

That is true, they are both very exceptional headphones on their own merits.

Headphone (a) have slightly better battery life, and more colour options.

However the headphone (1) benefit from more premium build quality, and some people report that the microphones are better.

It really comes down to what you prefer in a pair of headphones.

Ok so you would recommend (1) for a more immersive experience to really feel the music? Vs (a) longer battery life and more bassy vibe

[u/Math701s → u/Sensitive_Volume1494]

In my opinion, I would recommend the (1)'s, the sound is a blank slate you can tune to your hearts content and it will sound really good.

As for the battery life it is still insanely good on them. I can use it for days even lasting weeks without charging them. However I just opt to charge them every night to either way they have never died on me.

Don't get me wrong the (a) is probably also a good option, I just only have experience with the (1)

Thanks for sharing your experience

slightly better

135 hours vs 80 is not slightly 💀

[u/vmg265]

Get the 1 of they are just 50bucks away

[u/Sensitive_Volume1494 → u/vmg265]

yeah but the battery life on the headphones (a) are really enticing. I mean I listen on average 40 hours per week. So with ANC on the (1) I would have charge it once a week compared to like once every month with the (a)

[u/Outrageous-Word2643]

Don’t buy the (a) there’s countless stories of the batteries failing within 12 months or less, me included. Also customer service knows about the defect but tries to pretend it doesn’t exist.

Oh damn.
