Headphones

For me, headphones are an essential part of good Knowledge/Thoughts/Focus, especially in combination with Optimization/Tools/Endel.io, Optimization/Tools/Session and ANC (Active Noise Cancelling) technology.

I own Airpods Pro and Airpods Max headphones. I use the former away from home, the latter practically whenever I'm at my computer.

ANC

The ability to mute the surroundings is the most important feature for me in terms of both Knowledge/Thoughts/Focus and Knowledge/Thoughts/Relaxs. In the case of the Airpods Max, this performs amazingly well, although I know that in headphones from a similar shelf of other manufacturers, they offer similar results.
