I will give this a shot! It seems like from you’re posts you’ve had pretty good results with subs using this setup and taking action?

Where is the current list please?
As someone’s tested a lot of headphones and ear uds with their subs (no reason. JuST a collector), you’ll be fine with any modern, mid range pair (2021+, around 80-100 USD). Commercial headphones offer good quality for most price points. Stick with known brands to ensure quality and comfort (really overlooked). Avoid expensive flagship models unless you care about high quality audio in your daily life. They aren’t worth the price for subs
Dont over think your audio setup. The more you fiddle with the nuances, the more likely you are to self sabotage. Some of my best results came were with outdated soundcore buds on max volume with noise cancelation on.

I have soundcore p30i noise cancelling bluetooth earbuds
Why were you listening on max volume?? Sounds like it could cause damage or recon
I was already listening to music at that level to drown noise. Soundcore has terrible ANC compared to others brands, had to run louder. I play subs at whatever volume I have on. Again, I dont over think this. Though I later found out those earbuds couldn’t pick up some sounds (e.g., birds) unless you are running them at maximum capacity. I eventually switched to comfortable ear buds I can run at a mid range all day.
Those ear buds let me set the db output, so I was always playing at a safe level no matter thr volume.

Ok so yesterday I listened to Khan on my Sony wh-1000-xm5
The first 4 minutes were with noise reduction, the last 11 without
With noise reduction I could feel some processing, but after turning it off the processing increased, I could feel my brain working more, perceptually it felt more “busy”, though less so than when I tried a few months ago, what I mentioned in my post earlier.
I suppose there might have been some recon mixed in back then.
So yeah, noise reduction seem to reduce the efficiency of the subliminals, maybe some of the words get warped /distorted by the treatment and so only part of the script is really heard?
But yeah no issue otherwise when noise reduction is disabled

Awesome! You’re wild listening to 15 minutes of Khan, you must of mastered it. That subtlety you noticed when switching from NC to normal is good to know. You inspired me to try it out without NC!
