Which one do you choose?

Which one do you choose?

Hey everyone,

For the last two weeks I’ve been going crazy trying to decide between the Sony WH-1000XM6 and the new AirPods Max 2. Which one would you have chosen?

As you can probably tell, I have a ridiculous headphone collection, but every pair has its own purpose.

I use my AirPods Pro 3 for everyday use, travelling, driving or walking around. My Sony XM5 stay in the studio so I can monitor microphone audio from my mixer or cameras and make sure everything sounds right. My SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless are exclusively for gaming.

The only thing missing was a pair dedicated to video editing and daily studio use on my MacBook.

That is why I was so stuck between these two. I felt like the XM6 would not really bring me anything new compared to what I already have, but at the same time the AirPods Max 2 worried me because of the weight.

I spent two full weeks overthinking this, barely sleeping, constantly going back and forward between them. In the end, I decided to go with the AirPods Max 2.

Now I’m curious… are you all this obsessive when it comes to headphones and audio gear, or am I just completely insane? 😂

What would you have done in my situation? And if you think you would have decided faster, how would you have approached it? Honestly, by the end of it I felt exhausted just trying to choose between these two.
