Happy birthday, Rob!!!

I have a Taycan as a loaner while the Boxster is in the shop for a warranty repair. I kind of hated Macan EV, but I love this! These drive so so so well. Even in the base "4" trim it is quick, cruises beautifully, and is a wonderful place to watch the miles tick by. I honestly think most people I know who will never go to the track would be happier in one of these than something like a 911. If you want to go bombing on public roads, these things rock. If all you do is street drive, you can ignore the sports cars. Porsche is doing a lot of trickery with torque vectoring to help these things go around corners. The traction and stability control you can get in an EV is on a totally different level. This is not a pure driving experience and if you come from one of the sports cars you will feel it any time you get close to the limit. Still, no one will ever track these so it really doesn't matter. Sub limit handles great. I am impressed. The price on these things new is eye watering, but used or CPO I may have to keep my eye open in the future. This is an amazing daily driver. The higher trim ones must just be ballistically fast. It has all the power and speed of the performance Teslas only its from a company who knows how to make a properly fast car. If only they didn't cost so much.

Happy birthday young man!

For the drone of the leaf blower I would think most modern ANC headphones would be able to kill most of the noise but nothing is going to neutralize all of it. Best bet is likely to be to use ANC plus some ambient music to really drive it into the background. Best guess, but one that I haven't tried personally, would be the latest airpods + comply tips to hopefully gain a little passive NR.

Happy Birthday!

Finally getting to this one, under a year - not bad. (since it is your birthday). --Copland: Fanfare for the Common Man, Appalachian Spring & Symphony No. 3 by Minnesota Orchestra (2012) https://open.qobuz.com/album/ip2njewvqsrsa I do wish for a high bitrate, but the performance and recording are first rate.

Cheers Rob -- Happy Birthday's -

Smart kid!

I try to do the same with Giuliani, but it doesn't work for me. He is fully responsible for throwing his own legacy in the dumpster. As much as I'd like to give Barney a pass, I just can't.

Have a phenomenal day!

I realize this is the Mac thread and not a headphone one. Serious question: Are there a set of BT headphones out there with better noise cancelling ("ANC" as the tech bros call it) better than the Airpods Max(2)? I am now in the market for one.

Same here, Dan. He came to my college and gave an incredible speech in his active days. But yes, in later years something switched off..... I still look to his earlier legacy as good.
