I have had a pair of the Tozo HT3 for a few months now. Not the most comfortable cans ever, but as low as $30 for wireless + low latency mode + decent ANC is a pretty good deal IMO.
Another vote for the HT3. My wife and I have one each, and we are perfectly content with them — nice battery life, decent build quality, good connection to multiple (two?) sources.
The ANC is not in the same league as a $300 pair, but one certainly would not expect them to.
I thought that any headphones would leave a dent in your head? At least that's been my experience, and I don't think my headphones are nearly as heavy as these things.
Unfortunately, with watch history off, YouTube still pushes Shorts in the subscriptions page (at least on mobile web, which is where I primarily use YouTube).
I find that a lot less problematic as there's just very few shorts on my feed, I've never been able to scroll through more than 5 or so without just going into ones I've seen before.
This reminds me that I'd love to see SYCL get more love. Right now, out of the computer hardware manufacturers, it seems that only Intel is putting any effort into it.
CUDA having had such a wide moat for so long has completely warped the GPU software ecosystem. There just isn't any incentive for Nvidia to meaningfully contribute to any external, standards-driven effort like SYCL or OpenCL. Real shame because it leads to a tonne of duplicated effort as AMD and Intel try to reimplement the exact same libraries as Nvidia (and usually worse because neither seem to prioritise good software for whatever reason).
If this is to be believed, Snapdragon is bumping up against the M5 in single-core. Unfortunately we don't have M5 Pro Geekbench results; the M5 Pro has equivalent core counts to this rumored X2 and would be more of a fair fight in multi-core.
The secondhand X1 probably has more RAM, which you will find very nice - 8 GB on the Macbook Neo is fine for email + web browsing but won't hold up well to heavier use such as programming.
