For years now the main device I’ve used to listen to music and podcasts is earbuds.

My first pair was the Sony WF-1000XM3’s which I owned for several years but was never completely happy with. The audio quality and ANC (active noise cancellation) were great, but the case size was a bit big and call quality was horrible.

I wanted to upgrade them for something newer but felt bad about them going to waste so decided to try selling them and I didn’t get much, but it was at least something back. I used that money towards a pair of the Apple Airpods Pro 2 and I couldn’t be happier.

I still think the Sony’s had the slightest advantage when it comes to pure audio quality, but the ANC/call quality are much better on the Airpods and the small case makes it much more convenient to carry as well.

In terms of the image, I took it with the Sony Alpha A7IV and the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DN Art. These types of shots are REALLY making me want to buy a macro lens but I’m staying strong so far.

That brings this post to and end and if you’d like to be notified of future updates, please subscribe using the form below.
