Thanks for your reply mate

That's a bit short for my setup

Is it possible to buy a bigger cable?

It's just a usb to micro usb cable is it?

For me, An Post are a disaster as I live in an apt complex so postbox size is limited.
But even small envelope like packets don't get delivered by them, just a notice that I have to collect from sorting office and that costs me a fiver on bus fares plus over an hour+ of my time

Picked up mine about an hour ago. For a 12w speaker it has plenty of oomph, I played some dirty drum and bass on it and it was vibrating away like a good thing.

Been following the Sony wh1000xm2 all week and finally decided to go for them. €199 on Amazon Spain atm and I dont think they will get any cheaper. You wont find a better set of NC headphones under €200.

I've been convincing myself the whole week whether I need this or not. I listened to Bose CQ 35 II and prefer the sound of that (compared it to XM3), ANC is about the same. But Bose is more expensive and even then... Do I need it? I don't know...

Honestly, I could have done without them also. Never had NC headphones before and wanted to get ones for when flying. Instead of paying about €100 for a mediocre set I thought I would push the boat out and get decents ones while I can. I havent tested them in person but all reviews say they are quite good.
