The workhorse for my work and gaming coms for the last 15ish years is still the set below (on my second set). The EPOS name is new; maybe Sennheiser wanted a sperate page for business orientated products?:

I kind of want small desktop speakers and my early 2000s 5.1 set is too bulky. Are there any good compact options anyone recommends? I just want to be able to not wear headphones and listen to videos or webinars sometimes nothing audiophile.

I just bought a Bluetooth speaker and use that. I have a Bose SoundLink Flex. It's usually $150, but it goes on sale from time to time for like 40 bucks off.

Anyone have a recommendation for a good set of noise-cancelling bluetooth headphones for travel?

I tried the Anker Space Q45s and they performed excellent, but they were too large for my head, even at the smallest setting. I've heard good things about the Sony wh-1000xm4, but I'm reluctant to try $300 headphones if they are just going to be too big again.

Seriously, I don't have a big head but it certainly isn't small enough that I would have ever considered commercially available headphones to not fit.

I have had these for a few years, they are great on planes and my riding mower. They are $300, you get what you pay for.

Still wearing the xm3s (literally on a plane as I type this) from 2018.

Same form factor and they’re very comfortable and work great. Pricey but better than everything else I’ve tried.

My Sennheiser PXC550s have been great, but I suspect recent releases from Sony have caught up with them.

Just ordered some xm5s for our trip out of the country next week. Interested to see how they perform. They were as cheap as the xm4s on Amazon as refurb - excellent condition so figured why not. Plus I can take conference calls on them so they're for "work" too.

*edit: screw it, ordered some xm4s too to compare. They were pretty good discount on Amazon renewed also. I'll just send back whatever I don't like or give them to my wife.
