[@GadZookz]

The ideal configuration is to put some U12Ts in your ears, connected to the music, and put your ANC headphones over top of them with ANC turned on. Very quiet, great music.

[@PhilHarrisTV]

Was going to suggest the exact same thing

[@TheHEADPHONEShow]

Interesting idea

Im going to try this tomorrow with my customs lol

[@adrianmorrish8494]

[@SumbaListens]

The duo is awesome and casual chats like these are very much appreciated. More vids PLSSSS🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@DMS3TV]

more in the works!

[@MartinLeschinski]

great content and I am with Andrew- while traveling, in Ears and TWS and a big backpack with lots of photo/video/audio gear. Even taking less clothes with me and buying some at the location we travel to.

[@Florianski]

For commuting my go to setup is the SolarisX with the utws5. The perfect combo of comfort, good sound and no wires

[@PygmaApril]

For some reason, one of my favorite sounding devices are the Galaxy Buds Plus (with a lot of EQ going on using wavelet). I have much more expensive gear of all shapes and sizes but seems like I've found the sound that hits home with those in that specific configuration. Next time I am flying I will be using these and on top of those my Sony XM4s for the ANC.

[@derrickcrocker4265]

That crackling during take off on a plane I get from the Sony xm4's as well.

[@ConsecDesign]

Loved this off-the-cuff convo

[@aceofspades6667]

D and Resolve should do a cross Europe back packing trip (National lampoon vacation style) where they film a vlog and rif on portable audio related content.

[@DMS3TV]

I vote for a road-trip across North America

[@metal571]

And hopefully some wonderful Belgian and German brewery visits

[@benjaminvroman5553]

Very chill vibes, I love it

[@Icy_Igloo]

If you intend to use the plane's entertainment system (to watch movies etc.), you can't use high sensitivity iem's (basically all of them). You might be ok for movies, but as soon as the cabin crew or captain make announcements (all the time), the volume is super boosted and will be ear piercingly (and damaging) loud. I bring a set of cheap, foldable and comfortable on ears and use them for plane entertainment (Koss Porta Pros). I use my iem's for everything else not plugged into the plane.

[@Iamsuperb4]

These two need to make a podcast

[@hartyewh1]

There's another ultra niche topic: what headphones/IEMs are best on a plane. Isolation is one thing, but the pressure changes really can change the sound. One of my best listening sessions in a long time was listening to Toehider with Sennheiser Momentum TWS 2's, which I don't really like in general. There it was just fantastic for some reason.

[@hartyewh1]

I'd like to see you guys go head to head on a headphone/IEM you disagree on and try to hash it out with song tests etc. Seeing that interraction might reveal some of your approaches and thought in a way that's hard to get at without contrasting with someone.

[@fishinthejar]

A simple yet very enjoyable collab. I'd love to grab the QC45 for my office/commute but the fact I can buy Sundaras at this price point scares me...

[@beliveinurself]

Would love to hear from DMS on which in-app EQ settings he uses for the QC45. Is dropping the treble slider by 5-6dB enough to tame them?

[@jeffscalfano3100]

Sennheiser momentum 3rd generation earbuds are a must add to the travel pack. Out of about 13 pair of earbuds they are my favorite sounding with great features.

[@marksafe5463]

Eytmotic IEMS have incredible isolation from outside sound. The flange tips beat pretty much all noise cancellation headphones. If you can stand the tips that is. I found the best isolation comes from getting the foam tips deep in your ear. Get the best sound quality from the flange tips.

[@metal571]

This doesn't cancel noise at lower frequencies however which ANC is superior for

[@marksafe5463]

@@metal571 agreed! This is because lower frequencies are stronger and The best way to combat that is a cancellation of those sound waves. Only certain ANC headphones seem to do this well. Bose over ears are great for this I think because they are built for flights. Ear plugs from Eytmotic soften those Engine sounds (from machinery and vehicles)better probably because those ANC headphones aren’t quick enough to produce those opposing higher frequencies.

[@marksafe5463]

I guess lower frequencies don’t bother me as much has the mid range and higher frequencies.

[@metal571]

For planes etc you will want the active cancellation for lower frequency rumble but I will never argue with the amazing effectiveness of Etys and their passive higher frequency cancelation since it is of course excellent

[@geekofband007]

Love my QC35s when flying. Light and comfortable I can wear them for 6 hours no issue.

[@zanychelly]

Would like to see your opinions on Master & Dynamic MW65/75 and MG20. MG65 and MG75 are both Bluetooth headphones, MG20 is a WiFi and Bluetooth headset.

[@iScorpio1971]

What do you think about the AKG 5005?

[@patrickclauson2828]

Would love to hear about the German T&A solitaire P. And their soon to be released solitaire T noise canceling HP for travel!

[@Foobymaster1]

I would bring pretty much the same thing I bring everywhere honestly. Soundcore liberty pro 3 for the anc and shuoer s12 on either the btr5 or ve Abigail.

[@CraigArnolduk]

Best way to listen to music on a plane or train. NC over ears - Bose, Sony whatever really - then use IE600 underneath. I do this when travelling on the noisy parts of the London Underground where background noise can sometimes go up to 100dB!!!

[@rogerhuston8287]

I've been flying with CIEM for almost a decade all around the world. While they don't block 100% of the sound, they block more than enough to sleep comfortably. U12t is great, but prefer the UM MEST Mk2 as the are a better all arounder.

[@Wonginism]

I found earmuffs over ANC IEMs work really well though only adds additional 5% better. So 95% as good just ANC IEM I want to upgrade my ageing Song WI 1000X neckband with the M2

[@NL-cs9mt]

Really like the shirt DMS is wearing. Anyone able to share what brand it's from? Thks!

[@jackcrawford2101]

"Potential Engine Failure" - yes that happened to me when I was wearing my Bose QuietComfort 20. An engine on my flight caught fire and caused a loud whine but I didn't know about it until I started smelling a burnt smell in the cabin.

[@timleonard9762]

Just ordered the ML5905, would love to see your guys take on them.

[@TheHEADPHONEShow]

It's not for me at the moment as I think the treble is a bit sharp, but it's something they may improve with firmware. They're very intentional about target compliance, so I imagine they'll want to curb that a bit.

[@isaac-shapiro]

@Resolve... i would REALLY like to have a link to your jazz playlist. Please consider sharing this!!

[@hardrockSaurabh]

How does DMS use the IE600 with the Apple Type-C dongle? Doesn’t it have half power on Android and make the IE600 sound weak?

[@Krmpfpks]

I DIYed myself some custom in ears and they sound great and block out noise better than the air pod pros. Didn’t try the Bose, so cannot compare. It’s not for everyone, you’ll easily spend a thousand for the tools you need and it took me over a year until I got something that was good.

[@mini-337]

@DMS what screensaver is on your Mac?

[@evilClive21]

My guess is you first go to Munich high end and then a little tour to a small town called Wedemark for a special factory tour?

[@vijeykumar7429]

A refresh of the Drop pandas with ANC would be killer

[@MichaelSidneyTimpson]

Isn't air pressure too dangerous to use an IEM during takeoff and landing?

[@JaJDoo]

no fiio utws5?

[@Mr._MN10]

Like to see a review of the Zahl HM1 REFERENCE HEADPHONES MIXING AMPLIFIER :)

[@whatsupdot1]

[@yupanquid5538]

Has Google solved the Pixel's issue with usb-c DACs?

[@JTB--]

Just realized DMS looks a little like Austin Powers in those glasses. Do you like the Nintendo Switch? “Yeah, baby, yeah”

[@informedchoice2249]

I've recently tried some Aria's. I just can't get along with them. The only option I can think of is the Ezymotics. The hanging over the ear and the tips combine to just make my experience untenable after a while.

[@informedchoice2249]

Why isn't there a link to both of the headphones? The manufacturers webpage would be fine.

[@masterxyr]

Try magnepans on your next flight, please!

[@r0r0r0j]

Why doesn't Resolve like the IE600 that much? Too treble happy?

[@jeremymiller3305]

DMS and Andrew chatting like old time buddies talking about their hobbies, doesn't get any better than that! I can respect Bose as a brand to eliminate outside engine noise to hear your gear. So cool you own the Nintendo Switch, is it the regular model or the OLED model? DMS are you aware that they are selling the steam deck? It looks like the Switch, but it can play PC games as long as you have a steam account.

[@mikepedersen2042]

Interesting that neither of you use the new Mark Levenson. They are the only Bluetooth ANC cans I can actually enjoy for music and the ANC is a real plus when needed.

[@dalejail]

what about akg n90q?

[@OrganNLou]

You should try the new Avantone Planar BEATS EM ALL!!!!! I have owned very expensive Sennheiser, and Hifiman Ananda and the Avantone was much better!

[@ByStephenJones]

I bring: Timeless with Apple dongle, QC35II, Lypertek Z3 2.0, and NTH-100 if I'm editing and bringing my laptop... Camera gear, QC35II and Timeless is my carry-on. Rest goes in my luggage or wife's carry-on... lol

[@chefsteve8381]

Fly twice a week for last 3 years the 2 i take with me are samsung galaxy buds pro and akg n700nc mk2. I hate that hum sound a plane makes also its worse on a plane with propellers.

[@masterxyr]

reading about propeller planes sounds so romantically adventurous from my couch. suspect the reality might be somewhat different :)

[@ciousli]

I love my Sony XM4, but they just sound bad. Somebody should work on making a real high-end wireless ANC headphone. Just imagine a wireless ANC DCA Stealth with real-time adaptive EQ.

[@Florianski]

I recently thought about this! DCA headphones are some of my favourites because of their fantastic comfort. If they made a bluetooth version of the Æon 2 or the stealth it would be the best headphone ever.

[@NotTheOnlyMattAround]

I own the XM4 headphones too, and I agree with you on the sound quality. The XM4 buds, on the other hand, are awesome.

[@nqxo9829]

ever tried already made profiles with wavelet or the apple alternative ??(i can't remember)

[@vartkez187]

I’ve tried a bunch of NC headphones and iems. I would say the best NC headphones are the sennheiser pxc 550-2 for iems it’s the AKG n400. From my experience NC headphones pretty much always have better ANC than the iems. Might be worth trying the sennheisers if you’re looking to get better sound quality.

[@ShaneCutting]

This really needs an update with options for various price points.

[@ShaneCutting]

I will be trying a setup similar to @DMS using the QC35 and pairing it either with an N5005 or Blessing 2.

[@zenboy863]

[@radioactivehalfrhyme]

You know you’re in too deep with this hobby when you momentarily misread the all-caps “THESE” in the title as “HE6SE” and think: “Wow, the HE6SE as a travel headphone? That must require a pretty formidable portable amp.”

[@Tomiply]

Doesn't Andrew's ears hurt, sitting with only IEMs for hours and hours? I can barely wear IEMs for an hour before I get annoyed.
