How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want compact foldable headphones that fold down and do the listening themselves, choose Srhythm NiceComfort 25Pro; if you need a hard-shell carry case to protect a pair of Sony over-ears you already own, choose RIYADAone Case.
• Srhythm NiceComfort 25Pro — biggest strength: a complete pair of over-ear headphones with active noise cancelling, Bluetooth 5.3, 40-hour playtime and a compact folding design.
• Srhythm NiceComfort 25Pro — biggest trade-off: the ANC is rated to quell up to 90% of ambient noise, not all of it, and the brand is upfront that voices still get through and that it's less effective in a quiet room.
• RIYADAone Case — biggest strength: a shockproof EVA hard shell with a velvet-like lining, a breathable mesh pocket and a carry strap, sized specifically for Sony WH-1000XM3 through XM6.
• RIYADAone Case — biggest trade-off: it is a case only. No headphones, no cable, no earpads come with it, and it is cut for Sony's over-ears rather than for the Srhythm cans.
• Buy the Srhythm if you need the actual headphones and want them to fold small for a commute, a flight or a dorm desk.
• Buy the RIYADAone Case if you already own Sony WH-1000XM3, XM4, XM5 or XM6 headphones and want to stop them rattling around loose in a bag.
The NiceComfort 25Pro is the "everything in one box" option here. You get the headphones, a Type-C charging cable, a 3.5mm AUX cable with a 6.35mm adapter, a two-pin airplane adapter and a protective case. That's a travel kit, not just a headset. The model number is NC25 Pro (listed as NC25), and it's an over-ear design in black with leather, plastic and stainless steel in the build.
The feature I'd point a frequent flyer toward is the folding frame. It's described as a compact folding portable design, and at 204 g — the sheet lists it as 0.4 lb — it's light enough that the folding actually matters. Light plus foldable is the combination that gets headphones into a bag instead of left on a desk. Srhythm also notes the fit is comfortable with glasses on, which is a real-world detail that matters more than most spec sheets admit.
Who should buy it: commuters, students, and anyone who wants one pair of over-ears for music, calls, video and the occasional game, plus the cables needed for a plane. Who should skip it: anyone who needs total silence. Srhythm is explicit that this is not 100% noise cancelling, that human voices are not eliminated, and that ANC is less effective in a quiet environment. It's a reducer, not an eraser. Also note the microphone only works in wireless mode — if you plan to take calls over the aux cable, that won't work. And one oddity worth knowing: the controls are listed as touch, while the design notes describe physical square buttons on the ear cup, so expect a mix of physical controls and touch behaviour rather than one clean scheme.
RIYADAone Case: Who It's For
The RIYADAone Case is a single-purpose accessory, and it's honest about that. The listing says plainly that the case is the only item for sale and that no Sony headphones or accessories are included. So the right buyer is someone who already has Sony WH-1000XM3, XM4, XM5 or XM6 over-ears and wants somewhere safe to put them.
What you're getting: an EVA and nylon exterior, a hard shell form factor, a velvet-like soft interior, a two-pull zipper and a side hand strap. The hard shell is the important part — it's there to take bumps and reduce the risk of damage when the bag gets knocked around. The soft lining is the second half of that job, cushioning the headphones against impacts from outside. The accessory system is a mesh pocket in the upper section for charging cables, adapters and spare earpads, and the mesh is breathable, which helps stop moisture building up inside a closed case. The colour is listed as Sliver, if that matters to you.
In practice, this is a case for someone whose headphones live in a backpack, a handbag or a suitcase. Its compact size is designed to drop into all three, and it's described as lightweight so it doesn't add bulk. That's the whole pitch: your Sony cans stop floating loose next to keys, a water bottle and a laptop charger.
Side-by-Side: Which Should You Choose?
• Best for actually listening to music → Srhythm NiceComfort 25Pro. The RIYADAone Case makes no sound at all.
• Best for compact folding portability → Srhythm NiceComfort 25Pro. It's a foldable 204 g headphone, not just a container for one.
• Best for protecting Sony WH-1000X headphones → RIYADAone Case. Hard EVA shell, soft interior, sized for XM3 through XM6.
• Best for noise reduction → Srhythm NiceComfort 25Pro. Up to 90% of ambient engine noise, in wired and wireless mode, with the honest caveat that voices still pass through.
• Best for battery life → Srhythm NiceComfort 25Pro. 40 hours rated, with a 2.5-hour charge.
• Best for organised accessories → RIYADAone Case. The breathable mesh pocket holds cables, adapters and earpads in one place.
• Best for flying → Srhythm NiceComfort 25Pro. It comes with a two-pin airplane adapter and a 3.5mm cable for when the battery runs down.
• Best for a gift for someone who already owns Sony XM-series headphones → RIYADAone Case. It's the practical add-on rather than a duplicate purchase.
In my opinion, most people searching these two names should buy the Srhythm NiceComfort 25Pro. It's the complete product: foldable, light, 40 hours of playtime, ANC that works wired or wireless, dual-device Bluetooth 5.3, and a full accessory kit including its own case. I'd only steer you to the RIYADAone Case in one specific situation — you already own Sony WH-1000XM3, XM4, XM5 or XM6 headphones and you need a hard shell to stop them getting beaten up in a bag. That's a genuinely useful thing to own, but it's a complement to headphones you have, not a substitute for headphones you don't. Check the current price on Amazon before you commit, since that's the one variable I can't judge for you.
FAQ
No, and Srhythm says so directly. The active noise cancelling is rated to quell up to 90% of ambient noise, human voices aren't eliminated, and ANC is less effective in a quiet environment. It's a noise reducer, not a mute button.
No. The microphone only works in wireless mode. If you want to take calls, stay on Bluetooth. The 3.5mm cable is there to keep the audio going when the battery is low.
They do different jobs, so value depends on what you're missing. If you need headphones, the Srhythm gives you the headphone, cables, adapters and a case in one purchase. If you already have Sony XM-series headphones and no protection for them, the RIYADAone Case is the cheaper way to solve that specific problem. Check the current price on Amazon for both.
