@hollow harbor

[heady crystal]

I wouldn’t buy a Focusrite if you’re planning to use it with a gaming PC. The audio drivers for Windows are garbage.

There’s long standing issues where the sound just goes very static and robotic after an hour.

Also something I learnt from experience.

[hollow harbor]

Yeah thats more expensive my friend @rich python

[hollow harbor]

Ah lucky I djdnt buy 1 then

[lament siren]

HEY GUYS IS THE BASILISK V35 ULTRARGB EDITION GOOD MOUSE FORTNITE

[astral musk]

Sure

[blissful gust]

I had this for years

Eventually broke, I regret not trying to repair it.

But it's kinda pointless for general use tbh

@hollow harbor just get an apple usb c dongle

[twilit flame]

my edition xs is set to come tomorrow if im lucky

[mental spade]

Oo exciting

[hollow harbor]

Haha I have the shure adapter already, its working great. Thanks

[exotic bough]

I have a superlight g pro that feels good in the hand but my everyday driver is a G903 getting my zowie mouse today so that might change

[lament siren]

whats the best settings for fornite?

[exotic bough]

Idk i only strictly play siege

[blissful gust]

Don't you fucking dare

[obtuse dove]

@hazy fiber get ready for things to get super fast with that glass pad lol

[blissful gust]

https://tenor.com/view/king-of-the-hill-hank-waterspray-shootself-gif-3461149

[wispy blaze]

Raiden arrives today

Won't be as fast as glass, but I've been using my zero for the last few months

Cant wait to compare Raiden to my glass pad

[hazy fiber]

I expect it to have raiden ish speed, Hana is control glasspad with very smooth surface. Will see today I guess👀

[wispy blaze]

See how it differs

I'm working today so won't be able to use it until like 5pm

🥀

[abstract warren]

Well it’s not modding channel but it’s honest work around these parts

[wispy blaze]

This plane needs to hurry tf up with my beastx though

Id pay extra to load that shit on an f16

😭

[abstract warren]

There’s like 0 dynamic friction to it so it won’t feel like anything you’re used to

[wispy blaze]

Hoping raidens dynamic friction is gonna feel really nice on val

[abstract warren]

That being said unrivaled smoothness

[wispy blaze]

So long as i keep my tension in control it should feel soooo nice

[abstract warren]

If you use jades there won’t be any, but should feel speedy still

[wispy blaze]

Using some old ass stock beastx skates rn

On my lamzu

Gonna have new stock skates when the max arrives

[abstract warren]

I’d recommend Tiger ices if you want speed still but not jades

IMO

Shafie used it for a while on mid

I liked it until I didn’t and became an obsidian main

[exotic bough]

I use super glides

[hazy fiber]

@wispy blaze btw let me know if you feel scratchiness when you push your mouse in the pad, I felt it on my raiden mid, it was bothering me at first but then got used to it

[obtuse dove]

Superglides are nice since they feel decent on pretty much any surface you put them on. Heck, you can put them straight onto your table and they will still feel great.

[wispy blaze]

This is just gonna happen if you use dots

[hazy fiber]

Nah, it happens with every skate

I think because mid raiden is so thin

[wispy blaze]

I only ever noticed it on my zero xsoft if I used dots and pushed in

[lament siren]

i might switch to glass pad

but then should i switch to low dpi?

Or do glass pads have decent control on them

[abstract warren]

Some are very fast (SP004), and others are balanced/control oriented (Kazemi/hana) you can also get other pads that are balanced/control without artwork if you want, but I’d try looking for that

I’m still using 1600 dpi with kazemi, but your choice of skates would matter more than dpi imo

[lament siren]

i see

im so use to cloth pads and theyre comfortable but i do wanna test other stuff out

[abstract warren]

There’s a new anime artwork pad coming out of glasswrks if you’re interested

[lament siren]

im just worried with glass pads i'll be missing all my shots lol

[abstract warren]

It’s an adjustment period I’d say

[lament siren]

yeah shf showed me before

it looks good

[abstract warren]

I like purple too so I’m interested

[lament siren]

yeah the purple is a nice touch

and thats sp004?

[abstract warren]

No

Sp004 is by wallhack I believe and is plain looking

https://wallhack.com/products/sp-004-black?srsltid=AfmBOoqSwdqB8CPmGnceETWwaSJtjvD7bfvi195pPD2FFM8gGqoZGTnq

[lament siren]

oh i see mb

[abstract warren]

It’s supposed to be stupid fast

[lament siren]

https://tenor.com/view/scar-scar-whiff-valorant-gif-25896376

me with that mouse pad

[lament siren]

so this pad is more balance or

[abstract warren]

Unironically me rn

Not sure yet

Just teasers so far

[lament siren]

i would need to get an arm sleeve for the pad no?

i heard glass is kinda uncomfortable

[abstract warren]

Bands said his doesn’t forget what his is, but wouldn’t hurt to get one

You get better glide movement with one tho

[lament siren]

i see i see

[lament siren]

and this will make me a fortnite pro?

||(sorry i couldnt resist)||

[abstract warren]

If god didn’t, nothing will

[warm nest]

Not supposed, it is

Even with the most controlled dots skates

Thing was stupid fast

But really fun

And like 99% consistent

[abstract warren]

[warm nest]

Anyone iem enjoyers here?

[thorn lion]

Haters and enjoyers

[surreal rock]

what are best settings for fortnite guys i run 23 fps

[warm nest]

Which are you

[surreal rock]

i got a sp-004 and im gliding also with no sleeve

[warm nest]

No sleeve is the move

I tried 3 diff sleeves and they all were annoying

[round lagoon]

can confirm, using it to make my mouse feels lighter

[warm nest]

Yup

[hazy fiber]

smoothest thing on earth, you literally feel nothing when you move your mouse

Hana supremacy

[warm nest]

I would but like

The anime women kinda stands out

[thorn lion]

They make a model with anime men too so you're good

[warm nest]

What skates you use?

[warm nest]

IM IN

[hazy fiber]

Right now obsidian reds, but will swap them out to cyclones/obsidian airs

[lament siren]

what if i wanna feel her touch?

[terse ferry]

[warm nest]

Yeah idk even with obs pro airs I couldn’t get enough control to main the glass. Guess that’s my fault for using it on Val at the time lol

[hazy fiber]

The best thing about it is that its not super fast like other glasspads and its HELLA smooth

[surreal rock]

My Cyclones could arrive tomorrow👀

[mighty tiger]

I’m trying glass on val

I use it only when playing neon

[warm nest]

I was about the same. Only issue is any little movement gg

[surreal rock]

Goku im done with you

This Guy

😭😭😭😭😭

[warm nest]

Then again I tried a 004 so maybe I go with something different this time

[lament siren]

pc gaming is lonely

[surreal rock]

Hahahahahahaha

[hazy fiber]

Yea, I bought hana because its not super fast and surprisingly my aim is better now lol, in terms of speed its a bit faster than raiden imo

[mighty tiger]

I overflick on it lmao

[abstract warren]

Time to balance Hana posting with Kazemi 🌹

[lament siren]

nobody talks in game chat unless its val

[warm nest]

Same

[warm nest]

Is Hana the slowest?

[mighty tiger]

But then I lower my sens and then I can’t flick fast enough

[surreal rock]

Give it 1-2 Weeks ur Aim will be even better

[warm nest]

That’s the game

[mighty tiger]

And raw accel feels weird on val

[abstract warren]

Glass is fun to use 🌹

[hazy fiber]

Hana is controlled glasspad but its still very fast compared to other cloth pads

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1301116735021121568/1374769149569531914/IMG_2033.mov?ex=682f410b&is=682def8b&hm=6526898660f11974b7872c742e49022431f5484b4b3bfba5322441b037ec0046&

[warm nest]

Nah like controlled glass. What’s the most controlled? I’m just not sure if it’s Hana still

[abstract warren]

I think Hana is slowest from glasswrks

Ik kazemi is considered balanced

[hazy fiber]

I have no idea actually, with obsidian air pros hana is the slowest i think

[surreal rock]

@mighty tiger I felt like my Sense isnt the perfect for me. I did use the Sensefinder in the Oblivity App, did 300 Runs on different Scenarios and it gave me my perfect sense i use in every Game now and its def my perfect sense

[mighty tiger]

I use different sens depending on if I’m playing rivals or val

[surreal rock]

I was very inconsistent and sometimes felt like mhm a bit faster would be good

You should not do that tho

[mighty tiger]

Or a specific agent or hero

[surreal rock]

Thats crazy

Ur Muscle Memory should be shit icl

[mighty tiger]

Having the same sens for muscle memory is a myth

[surreal rock]

Nah for me it works

And i would def dont change sens

[mighty tiger]

Plus it doesn’t make sense, why would my tracking sens be the same sens I flick on

Or when I need to consistently do large movements

And have a slow sens

[warm nest]

Singularity looks interesting

[lunar holly]

What's ur sens?

[warm nest]

Gotcha

[mighty tiger]

Tekkusai?

[warm nest]

Yeah

[mighty tiger]

0.15 1600dpi

[warm nest]

$40

Can’t really beat that lmao

[mighty tiger]

Ye if you can get it and can’t afford the best of the best glass pads then get that

[lunar holly]

I'm on 0.135 atm

[surreal rock]

Nah bro you talkin some bs

[mighty tiger]

It’s def mainable

[warm nest]

I can afford it. I’ve bought four 004 so far. I just want to try a balanced one this time

Lmao

[mighty tiger]

There’s plenty of aim pros and valorant pros who change sens consistently

[lunar holly]

What skates u using Ethan?

[mighty tiger]

Singularity is mainable but no my favourite

[lunar holly]

[mighty tiger]

8 obi air pros

Dots

[lunar holly]

Oh shi me too

[warm nest]

8??

I used 5 and thought it felt too rough?

If rough is the right word

[surreal rock]

I mean they got a Range i kno that but for me using 1 Sense where im the most consistent in every Aim Type did improve everything for me

[mighty tiger]

I main an artisan soft

[lunar holly]

I use 4 dots on my mouse

[surreal rock]

But ig its personal preference how you actual profit from

[mighty tiger]

Just to prevent any sinking I use 8

[warm nest]

Kin X I might get actually

[mighty tiger]

https://youtu.be/uPkYc84GrSc?si=eHcqgrOXDZLKCd48

There’s another vid on it but it’s basically plagiarized it from viscose

[lunar holly]

I be going from 0.08-0.175 most of the time

[surreal rock]

Yeah i saw that one, but for me changing the sens ruins everything even if its only a mental thing

I just dont feel good when i change my sens

And using that 1 Sens in every Game feels pretty good

[mighty tiger]

If I’m playing bad I placebo myself into changing smth

Usually my sens to a higher one

Like 0.21

Or 0.325

[surreal rock]

Yeah its a Mindset thing def i just change Crosshair and sit different to lock tf in

I play 800 0.181 in Val

[mighty tiger]

I play 1600 0.15-0325

[surreal rock]

I was on 800 0.14 before i did the Sensefinder

[warm nest]

Anyone here know much about iems or headphones?

[thorn lion]

Sensfinder man

[abstract warren]

$10 for sensfinder 🤔

[surreal rock]

i did it in under 2h and refund it lol

it takes you like 90 minutes for 300 30s runs

A little bit of rest and chill between you can easy do it under 2h

[abstract warren]

Always knew you were a scammer /s

[surreal rock]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-man-sad-and-depress-gif-13089667

[obtuse dove]

Looks about right for a glass pad lol

[hazy fiber]

it will be slower when i swap skates

[obtuse dove]

What are you swapping to?

[hazy fiber]

will try two dot skates, obsidian airs and cyclones

[obtuse dove]

Could also try UHMW-PE skates if it's still too fast

[hazy fiber]

speed is very nice now, its not very fast. similar to raiden imo

[obtuse dove]

Ah, so it's not horribly fast like a Razer Atlas or a Skypad

[hazy fiber]

Nah ☠️

And you feel nothing when you move your mouse, its buttery smooth

[obtuse dove]

With a light mouse speed pads are actually really enjoyable to use, but if you use a kinda heavy mouse then they feel kinda weird.

At least to me

[hazy fiber]

i use beastx, its 39g

[obtuse dove]

Ah

[abstract warren]

Cyclones kind of feel like smoother tiger ices 👀

If that’s something you’re into for Hana

Obsidians were slower but still felt nice

[hazy fiber]

Right now red obsidian full size skates feel nice ngl

dots will feel even nicer pretty sure

[abstract warren]

I tried the dots and they were pretty fast no cap

Like crazy fast 🤣

[hazy fiber]

raiden 💔

lol

https://tenor.com/view/rip-bozo-gif-22294771

[abstract warren]

Use as keeb pad or the ghosts of artisan past will haunt you

[obtuse dove]

I still remember the Artisan France incident

[abstract warren]

What did the fr*nch do

[hazy fiber]

@abstract warren sometimes i feel dust because of full size skates

[obtuse dove]

Apparently one person that ordered an artisan pad tried to RMA a super messed up artisan pad and then after that they just straight up stopped selling to France entirely.

[hazy fiber]

dots >

[hazy fiber]

wtf

[abstract warren]

Lmaoo I remember one kid in the artisan discord was remorseful for his friend tryna scam artisan @hazy fiber you remember that guy

He was asking if artisan was gonna do something and then his friend was like “lol what are they gonna do”

[hazy fiber]

I dont remember that lol

[abstract warren]

Was a few months ago

[mighty tiger]

I use beast X max

[gaunt flax]

kids do that all the time. When i was young and working in retail electronics I had kids come up and try to return their completely busted logitech mouse and say it just didn't work. they just hope whoever is doing it doesn't check the box carefully

[obtuse dove]

Lol

[mighty tiger]

I get it if ur tryna pull one on a big company like amazon but retail electronics is wild

[hazy fiber]

lol

[obtuse dove]

Even then, Amazon checks occasionally as well to make sure that you aren't committing literal fraud.

[abstract warren]

Part of me wants to swap Raiden soft for mid just bc daidai orange next to kazemi looks so jarring 🤣

[heady zenith]

thats one long shot of a claim

[obtuse dove]

The Japanese take their crafts very seriously.

I think it's mostly a cultural thing

[mighty tiger]

Yeah but I’m just saying like if ur tryna make a buck scam amazon no t your retail electronics shop

They have trillions

[obtuse dove]

Yeah but regardless, don't commit fraud

It's a crime

[heady zenith]

idk how thats related to a french person apparently not noticing for a month that the mousepad they got has dirt from the factory all over it

[obtuse dove]

Oh you're talking about the person making the claim

Not the support guy

My bad

[mighty tiger]

Factual

[heady zenith]

i have no reason to believe support would make a bogus claim given ive seen the support side first hand

theres some weird people out there

[obtuse dove]

Unfortunately

[jolly pulsar]

It's also ridiculous to stop selling to an entire country

Over a few dumbasses

[fiery parrot]

about to say

doesn’t make sense

[obtuse dove]

Yeah it really doesn't, but if that's what they want to do then so be it, it's their business.

[jolly pulsar]

It reminds me of that laptop company that'd block entire countries

[fiery parrot]

it doesn’t really reflect well on their business tbh. don’t see how it’s worth it.

I don’t think they even have to comply if someone wants to return a product.

that’s just for eu companies iirc

14-30day return period.

[heady zenith]

id imagine it wasnt just a few

[jolly pulsar]

Still, blocking an entire country over it?

Absolutely moronic

[fiery parrot]

the artisan pad mafia of france 🔥

[heady zenith]

i mean if you spend more time on support than orders from the country net you then i can easily see why youd block it

[jolly pulsar]

I mean what country does wooting spend most of its support time on lol

[heady zenith]

i know at some point i think the philippines didnt have a shipping options at our stores cause of "missing packages" happening there quite a lot ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fiery parrot]

surely all the people emailing them about why they don’t ship to france are less than the rotten apples.

surely

[fiery parrot]

wrong.

they do have to comply.

🤷‍♂️

[jolly pulsar]

depends on where the company is from

[fiery parrot]

wrong. they don’t. he already had it over a month. 🤷‍♂️

[fiery parrot]

jp

[jolly pulsar]

then whatever the local rules are apply

[fiery parrot]

In the EU, everyone has a 14 day period in which they can return an item, no questions asked. even if the item is purchased from a company outside of the EU.

[jolly pulsar]

Technically they could just not comply tho

[fiery parrot]

right.

[mental spade]

Which they most likely will

[fiery parrot]

not sure if that’s a better idea

[jolly pulsar]

As they're not based in the EU and you can't really force any judgement to be applied

Lol

Even if you "win"

Good luck getting it to do anything

Unless the company has an actual presence in the EU

Like genuinely you have no "rights" regarding this stuff

You're just lucky if they follow eu regulation

Eapecially with a smaller company like this

[fiery parrot]

with a smaller company, sure

bigger company absolutely not, it’s not worth the risk

[jolly pulsar]

By bigger we mean multimillion $ company who could be sued if a problem affects multiple consumers

[fiery parrot]

ye

[jolly pulsar]

But also technically they're in violation of eu law since they're clearly discriminating based on nationality and not based on anything else

Especially with that support email

[fiery parrot]

😂😭😭

[jolly pulsar]

I mean it's true lol

[fiery parrot]

it is

still funny

[jolly pulsar]

Especially with an unprofessional response like that

They should have just replied with "we are not shipping to france anymore due to unforeseen circumstances"

Lol

[fiery parrot]

artisan collectively punishing the french for scamming them 😭

[fiery parrot]

true

[hazy fiber]

Its not that slow

but yeah, compared to other glasspads its slow and so smooth

W glasspad

Its faster than my raiden

and smoother

[wet coral]

the only thing i have to compare my glass with is a 3xl glorious deskpad xd

[hazy fiber]

which glasspad

[wet coral]

i had to choose between Hana or Empress and went with Empress cause Hana was $70 more before taxes and shipping

This is my first glasspad and its peak

[thorn lion]

Sharing for a r/l friend who has some bills to pay. Can't vouch for the quality or price as I don't know jack about headphones. But if anyone is interested please DM me and I'll get you in touch. I personally vouch for the seller!

He said they have 40 hours of use on them

[wet coral]

hope your friend is okay

[thorn lion]

Edited out medical lol, he is fine, just has to pay old ones.

If only I had money right now
Though I assume shipping US -> EU wouldn't be that cheap either

Is there something good-ish for like ~50?

[pure matrix]

Idk, just for content

[abstract warren]

Holy80 unless you’re the #1/2 miku fan

wtf does that mean 💀

Probably holy80

[pure matrix]

Tempered beast x pro + mikumiku will be look clean ig

[pure matrix]

Ye, is think

[bitter sapphire]

And with the new miku pad time to order a Beast X Max

[proper vector]

Nyoooo, my Mikuuuu

[pure matrix]

Or i’ll just buy this one scyrox mousepad

[pure matrix]

But first of all i need look reviews on it

[surreal rock]

Is Beast X like Wooting in Keyboard Game but for Mouse?

[hazy fiber]

no

[surreal rock]

What would you say is like Wooting in Mouse Game

i never saw so many Options on a Mouse in a Software tho

[patent patrol]

dont think there is one

cuz no one really innovated in the space

stuff just getting cheaper

[surreal rock]

What you Guys think would be some innovation for a Mouse?

[patent patrol]

if i would know i wouldnt tell you :D

[unkempt gust]

specialisation of shape and skeletonisation of shapes to lighten significantly, that trend continuing

we've come a long way in a short while
to think mouse companies not too long ago made mice with adjustable weights
so you could make your mouse more heavy
and resorting to similar egg type shapes that only work for palm grips for most people

[surreal rock]

Would it be possible to get something like HE in a Mouse or how is the technology in a Mouse atm? Could it be faster?

[astral musk]

Why?

The click is instant. There's no 4mm travel speed like with keyboard switches.

[surreal rock]

I mean i asked a Question and if it would be possible to have a Magnetic Technology in a Mouse that maybe also improves lifetime of clicks

i dont know if clicks and latency on a mouse are alr at max

[hazy fiber]

Optical switches exist

You wont have double clicks ever

[wispy blaze]

There isn't

There is like 0 crazy improvements to be made in mice

Literally everything is up to preference now when it comes to what mouse you should choose

[surreal rock]

Yeah but could HE be in a Mouse

[wispy blaze]

Theoretically yeah but it would be kinda pointless

[surreal rock]

So Optical Switches are the „best?“ and there will be prob nothing better?

[wispy blaze]

For the time being yeah ig

[surreal rock]

Just thought about it cause Wooting came with HE Keyboard and than drops HE Mouse too with some cool other functions (idk what)

[wispy blaze]

I'm sure eventually something may happen but who knows how long it'll be until it does

[surreal rock]

I mean except Shape Stuff ofc thats all personal, i mean in clicks innovation, latency, battery lifetime always can be better even if its good atm too

[wispy blaze]

Latency is already down to a few hundred microseconds

Like we already have a humanly impossible latency difference between mice

Battery lifetime is the only real innovation

[hazy fiber]

Yeah

lol

We need wootings firmware/software tho, like my beastx pro has bugged polling rate and they cant release firmware for it for like two months

[surreal rock]

I see, i mean lets see what happens in the future tho

[surreal rock]

unlucky

[wispy blaze]

Bro is still forced into max performance mode 😭

[hazy fiber]

lol, they told me that firmware is coming this week

they said the same 1 month ago, but we dont talk about that

[abstract warren]

I want my 2k polling back god damnit

8k actually turns it into a potato too quickly

[exotic bough]

She finally looks complete

Dont mind the wires lol

[exotic bough]

Thats why 4k is the best

[abstract warren]

I liked 4k more on Razer mice, but 2k battery life goated

Didn’t feel much of a difference

[exotic bough]

Lol people care about battery life on mice

Just plug it in before u sleep lol

Its worth it especially if u have back problems

Im already getting the logitech g version soon

[lament siren]

how you like it?

[exotic bough]

I love it man definitely worth the money i just wish they came from the factory like that

[lament siren]

i heard those chairs are good but fuck are they expensive

is this real? " 80he+miku sp004 giveaway"

is takky lying to me

[exotic bough]

All depends on what u consider expensive

Its a 2k chair without the headrest

But 2k is a good investment when u consider ur back and how long u seat in it

[mighty tiger]

im back once again

to ask what iems or audio device i should buy for gaming

preferably oepn back but not necessity

Take my money !

What is that thing

Am i about to make the Right choice

I dont understand what really omhs rating is

So like whats the difference between a 80

And a 250

[frigid ivy]

what are you trying to do with your set up?

[exotic bough]

Just have the best possible sound to get the best competive advantage

[frigid ivy]

I'm sure you can spend more than 300 right? lol

[exotic bough]

Yep

Thats why i ask

[frigid ivy]

Hifiman Arya is a great deal for 600

[exotic bough]

I dont know whats the best stuff in that work

[frigid ivy]

HD 800S is best soundstage but the treble can be a bit much for some people

and it's like 1800 unless you wait for a sale or used

more gaming vs music listening?

[exotic bough]

cheaper and you don't have to deal with exposed drivers

[exotic bough]

Do i need amps

?

[frigid ivy]

yeah but a $200 stack is plenty

which country are you from again?

[exotic bough]

USA

Money isnt a problem

[frigid ivy]

oh then you have plenty of options

[exotic bough]

I just want the best

[frigid ivy]

it's just that it's hard to get certain brand in certain country

[exotic bough]

I see

[frigid ivy]

you can easily spend 5-6 figures in audio, but it's not what you need lol

[exotic bough]

Imma going to guitar center tomorrow

[mighty tiger]

How does one spend 6 figures in audio

Especially for gaming

[exotic bough]

Amps pre amps interfaces

[mighty tiger]

I thought sound stage was by the headphones

[frigid ivy]

5-6 figures is more like for music

[abstract warren]

You can get a DAC/amp stack built into 1 with the ifi zen DAC v3

[mighty tiger]

Didn’t he say sound stage for gaming

[abstract warren]

Not a bad starter while you tune your taste

[frigid ivy]

I was just saying in general

[mighty tiger]

Ah ok

[frigid ivy]

because he basically have a huge budget

[exotic bough]

Yea but i would want them separately

[frigid ivy]

https://headphones.com/collections/over-ear-on-ear-headphones

[exotic bough]

Cause then i feel like they would do like my astro a40

With mixamp lol

[frigid ivy]

buy stuff from here because that have a great return policy

no fee 365 day return

[exotic bough]

Bet

Lemme do my research either gonna be 800s

Or them Arya

[frigid ivy]

amps and dac won't make a huge difference, at least most of the time

both are great for gaming

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIwgVzSiZ68

basically everyone in this video mentions the 800S

but the treble can be too much for certain people

so def try em somewhere first before buying

[viscid bison]

if it's strictly for gaming, start with cheap IEM's or whatever the pros use; your typical Razer's, HyperX and Logitech's with built-in mics. Easy to drive but probably suck at music

[exotic bough]

I have pretty much all those headsets lol

I hate hyperx

[viscid bison]

ah, fair enough

[frigid ivy]

yeah he's basically taking the next step into audiophile world lol

[exotic bough]

Thats the next step

[viscid bison]

the mother of all rabbit holes, audio.. or close to it

[exotic bough]

I have all generations of astros from a40's a50's

[frigid ivy]

think after tarriffs the HE-1 is like 80 grand now

[exotic bough]

All razer headsets somewhere in my container of not used tech

[viscid bison]

yeah, I wouldn't even know where to start anymore, maybe the legendary Sennheiser HD600's?

[frigid ivy]

HD600 has a small soundstage and ok imaging

more of a music headphone

[viscid bison]

true, true

[frigid ivy]

Under 200 I would go EPOS PC38X, under 500 I would go HD 490 Pro

[lucid cape]

Anyone having issues with Audeze headsets software? The dang thing barely stays in side tone mode and stopped working with the app in dongle mode.

[obtuse dove]

Don't be like me and spoil your ears with these

All my headphones now sound mediocre because I've spoiled my ears with HE-1

[lament siren]

holy an og

[patent patrol]

560S or 490Pro depending on budget :D

[mighty tiger]

Holy shit 75k cad?

[viscid bison]

75k when diminishing returns kick in at 1k, give or take

[sweet plover]

I didn't really like the sound, the high level of detail spoils everything, the music collapses into sounds.

I have one pair, not mine, but always available.

After 3 years of searching and listening to all the brands, Grado, Shure, Dan Clark, Stax just on top. DAC always chose R2R or FPGA: Chord Electronics, dCS or MSB, Although for $500 you will surely get a good solution.

If musical taste is not spoiled and choose live instruments, choose a brand that can make phono cartridges necessarily MM type. Get a good middle, fusion is a very important. Audiophiles often talk about what they don't understand lol.

Digitizing my vinyl track, you can appreciate the sound.

And here the tape recorder updated. A large collection of music from 1950 to 1998 with that quality.

[white jackal]

i should really rip all my dad's cds and digitize his vinyl

[white jackal]

how are the grado comfort wise? the cups look kinda small and i have fairly big ears so i never considered them for that reason

[sweet plover]

Look, for some reason, no one talks about the fact that you can safely stretch the headband of Grado headphones so they don’t press too hard on your ears—you can adjust the tension to your preference. I can comfortably wear my Grado headphones for 10 hours a day without discomfort. The only issue is the cable—it’s basically a hose, and that’s something to keep in mind.

In terms of sound, Grado has the best midrange frequencies. Focal Utopia, 800s, and Meze all lose to Grado in the midrange, absolutely. You can also choose suitable ear pads, but the original ones sound best: L-Cush, G-Cush.

[white jackal]

yeah those cables do look THICC

i will probably consider grados for my next headphone tho i am fairly happy with my edition xs, i have a very diverse music taste and they sound good playing basically anything really

something i should get before new headphones is a real amp probably

i just dont know much about that stuff and i have no experience so i just have to rely on reviewers to tell me whats good and pray it works for me

[proper vector]

Oh, audiphiles here, good
What are good wired earbuds (aka non-canal ones)? Hopper recommended FF3S and I'm considering them, but are there some other ones too?

[sweet plover]

IE 600

[proper vector]

But those are in-ears

[sweet plover]

With Comply memory foam.

[proper vector]

I want earbuds, I can't really use IEMs

[sweet plover]

Simphonio Dragon 3, CVJ SEVEN.

What I threw IE 600 along with Comply will be very comfortable, although canal.

[sweet plover]

If you want to change headphones, you need to understand what you don’t like about your current ones. There’s also the question of whether you need closed-back or open-back headphones—the difference in sound presentation is enormous

[white jackal]

Not rlly looking to swap headphones atm, very happy with the ones i have

But i‘m thinking that maybe a proper amp/dac might be good

[sweet plover]

What amp you use now ?

[white jackal]

Right now i‘m just driving them using my mic‘s integrated dac

[sweet plover]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-oriental-shorthair-scared-cat-scared-what-the-dog-doin-gif-23135676

[white jackal]

So almost anything would be better

I mean idk maybe beyerdynamic puts some good shit into their mic integrated dac but i have a feeling that isnt the main priority with that product

[sweet plover]

Ya.

[round lagoon]

Is dt 990 pro 80 ohm good? Considering it since I want an open back headphone that sounds good and easy to run. Primarily for rhythm game, so listening to song is the main goal.

If there's any other rec, I want it to not require DAC/AMP since that can add issue/latency for the kind of rhythm game I'm playing.

[white jackal]

Get a gaming DAC (idk if thats even a thing)

990 pro is probably good i dont see why it wouldnt be

[sweet plover]

990 drill

Can check dt 1990 pro

[proper vector]

I mean... chip on your motherboard is a DAC too, so it doesn't really matter if you use onboard one or USB/PCIe one
Besides most DACs don't introduce latency at all

[round lagoon]

A bit too much for me, at most I'm considering hd 600

[sweet plover]

The 600s will be a great option for you—just make sure to choose a good DAC

[round lagoon]

Also no space for pcie soundcard... If I have I would get Asus Xonar AE since the arcade uses it

The arcade in question.

[sweet plover]

I have old ones HD 580, cool headphones.

[white jackal]

Amp also wont introduce much latency considering the most basic amp is just a transistor

[proper vector]

I have KA17, very happy with it for rhythm games too

[white jackal]

I need a dac that will make my flacs sound good

[round lagoon]

Just wanna make sure I have the lowest latency possible. For now I only use motherboard headphone jack, inbox audio driver, and setting the audio buffer to 64 kb

[round lagoon]

Thanks for your input.

Guess I just get an amp and make sure it's fine

[proper vector]

I can recommend FiiO stuff for USB
Xonar AE sounds like inexpensive but quite good solution too

[round lagoon]

maybe if I have an extra pcie slot

[proper vector]

It just needs x1 though

[round lagoon]

It's being covered by my 3090, and my main slot is covered by my 4070tiS

[proper vector]

USB then

[patent patrol]

rip

mobo sounds the same as dac amp anyway

[round lagoon]

Maybe when I can satiate my AI addiction another way, I can remove the 3090 to slot a pcie dac/amp

[patent patrol]

what is an ai addiction

[white jackal]

Al addicion?

https://tenor.com/view/alfred-yankovic-weird-al-click-mouse-gif-24178066

[proper vector]

It's not like USB DAC will introduce latency
FiiO K5 for example is cheap and nice

[viscid bison]

Final E3000 or higher but if you don't like your ears prodded, or headphone clamp try the Koss KSC75. An earclip that you barely notice it's there - good sound, good times imo

[round lagoon]

Alright, I'll consider it

[patent patrol]

it definitely will add latency lol

[white jackal]

i went back to looking at amp/dac and remembered how stupid expensive audiophile stuff is

[proper vector]

Every DAC will introduce latency, but there's tiny to no difference between PCIe and USB stuff

[white jackal]

look at buying guide
entry level
300 dollars

[patent patrol]

mobo was like 2/3 of usb dac for me

[proper vector]

I mean... yeah, but it'll last you for years

It's not uncommon for high-end audio gear to outlive you

[white jackal]

i want my desktop amp/dac to come with a giant knob

[patent patrol]

only reason to get one

[proper vector]

MiniFuse 1, I use it for mic
And it has a beeg knob

[heady crystal]

I need to setup my Element III again. Been running my IEMs from the Elgato microphone recently.

[twilit flame]

Thank god we have moon drop pro

And ka11

[proper vector]

Moondrop Pro is so cute

[twilit flame]

Agreed

And honestly my front panel is running my edition xs’s pretty nicely volume wise to me

[white jackal]

yeah these dont need much power

[twilit flame]

Theyre crisp ✨

[white jackal]

yeah

sometimes i'm still surprised at how good these sound

[proper vector]

[twilit flame]

Big chunky

[white jackal]

maybe ill just get a ka13 or ka17

[terse ferry]

@proper vector well i think my dac in my mobo is enough

[mental spade]

My dusty FiiO e10k still going strong

[white jackal]

it is on sale rn

10 euro off

[terse ferry]

You dosent need dac

Use your motherboard

Audio fanatics lied to you

[white jackal]

ok

[mental spade]

If you have iems it's better to at least get a dongle, motherboard too noisy

[white jackal]

i dont mind being lied to if it sounds better

[terse ferry]

My motherboard is fine

[white jackal]

i dont use iems, hate how they fit in ear

[terse ferry]

Even i heard my audio codec sucks

[viscid bison]

no it's not, get a dac

[terse ferry]

Why tho if my dac is working fine

I think you meant get amplifier

[viscid bison]

fair... but still get a dac

[terse ferry]

For louder sound

EVERYTHING IS A DAC

[viscid bison]

yeah but does it have a big, big golden knob

[terse ferry]

No need if i can do it trough my computer interface

[patent patrol]

get one if it is noisy lol

you should be able to tell with your ears

[viscid bison]

true, I have my headphone output through desktop speakers, it's good enough

[terse ferry]

My motherboard somehow is not noisy

[wild zephyr]

Every motherboard I have ever owned has carried some level of noise. You can get DACs less than $50 that eliminate that noise.

[proper vector]

Noise depends on motherboard, depends on DAC they used, hell, depends even on a singular motherboard

[white jackal]

so using motherboard is best for noise music

[mental spade]

depends on a lot of things including the iem and the cable

[terse ferry]

Well my z690 force wifi seems to have good dac

[proper vector]

Using motherboard gives your music lo-fi vibes

[patent patrol]

lets ban iems

[terse ferry]

It can handle even 600 ohms

[white jackal]

cals what have you been listening to

[mental spade]

also a dongle is worth the $10 just to extend the cable from my PC since I have mine under my desk

[white jackal]

ive been having too much fun listening to music to be productive today 😭

i need to stop listening to music and get on my uni shit

[terse ferry]

Just use cable extender

[proper vector]

My favourite music genre is basically "whatever I overhear or find on YT and I like sound of"

[mental spade]

like a dongle

[round lagoon]

cable extender is nice

[patent patrol]

lets just have good wireless audio

[round lagoon]

I can route the cable under my table so I got close to how arcade setup where their audiojack is.

[rotund tree]

Chat any suggestions for a small iem? I'm using zero reds atm and I like them a lot but I want a smaller set (mostly the actual housing, the nozzle diameter is fine)

[round lagoon]

No

[white jackal]

my music taste can be summed up as "requires a minimal amount of attention"

[terse ferry]

Cable extender is not a dongle

[terse ferry]

Go to iems reddit

[rotund tree]

Old reliable, I'm running one as well

[terse ferry]

They might know stuff

[proper vector]

That's my last week

[mental spade]

the Sennheiser iems are quite small compared to most chi-fi iems

[viscid bison]

Sennheiser IE200 but sound is kinda ass for what you pay, higher models are even pricier but fit like a glove. Quite small imo

[rotund tree]

The ie200s is what I've seen suggested, might get them

[white jackal]

i dont have any sort of way to track what i listen to and how much

[terse ferry]

But he wants extremly bassy iem

[white jackal]

[patent patrol]

just make sure to have warranty

[mental spade]

yeah you just have to replace the cable because the stock one sucks

[rotund tree]

I have galaxy buds 2 and their size and shape is perfect for all intents and purposes

[viscid bison]

pretty sure the IE300's add a bit more bass

[terse ferry]

@rotund tree have you heard about truthear hexa?

[proper vector]

Me neither, that's just my music player, and I throw there whatever I feel like listening at the moment

[rotund tree]

Yes that was second on my list but they look kinda big still?

[gaunt flax]

em6l is super small and highly recommended by a lot of folks in that $100-ish bracket

[terse ferry]

You know small iem mostly means small nozzle from what I understand

[rotund tree]

Doesn't look "super" small to me but I'll look into them thanks

[gaunt flax]

oh if you want smaller than that then you'll basically have to go like the old sennheiser type ones i think

[rotund tree]

I specifically mentioned nozzle size is fine on the zeroes, it's the housing against my ears that bothers me

[rotund tree]

Yeah that's what it's looking like

[gaunt flax]

i'm not sure many brands make anything smaller than the hexa/em6l sizing which are one size below the giant zeros

[mental spade]

if you wanted something a little more expensive these are small and apparently very comfy https://mezeaudio.com/products/alba

[rotund tree]

I always ran over ears before so I don't really know what is the norm

[gaunt flax]

zeros are very huge though, it's a known thing with them being big and chunky

[terse ferry]

@rotund tree you can always buy custom made iems for 2000€

[round lagoon]

Yeh

made just for your ear

and your taste

[proper vector]

I want sweet and spicy ones

If not for earbuds - what would be a good pair of IEMs to like 200€? Maybe they'll do with flattish ear tips

[mental spade]

Simgot Supermix 4s

[wispy blaze]

Yeah i just use zero reds

[round lagoon]

salnote zero 2 is nice too

good for rhythm game

[white jackal]

i'm ngl

at home i enjoy good audio quality and all

when i'm out on the train

i just use airpods

too convenient and train noises will make anything sound bad regardless

[proper vector]

What about AFUL Explorers? Ah shucks, not available here

[mental spade]

that's when I swap to the ANC

[white jackal]

i kinda still want to be able to hear my surroundings incase someone needs me to move or i'm walking on the street and can hear cars driving past etc

[round lagoon]

Car noises pain

[wispy blaze]

Thats why I just use 1 ear bud

[round lagoon]

even arcade noises is pain

So i just have my iem in all the time when it's loud and just pay attention to other people's faces while listening to song.

[mental spade]

that's when you swap to transparency mode

[viscid bison]

try speedrunning Super* Review's Youtube, he's great at showing how iem's fit his ear and nerding out in general

[white jackal]

thats too many modes

[mental spade]

kind of want to get the Sony XM6's just for the improved transparency mode

but that's a waste run these XM4's till they die

[proper vector]

I am confusion
There is so much of them
And I want to avoid reddit for picking audio stuff as much as I can

[viscid bison]

does he have a ranking system without his own products?

[elfin kayak]

https://crinacle.com/rankings/iems/

discontinued since july last year

the list is sound, he just happens to have a shop that sells multiple brands

[proper vector]

Aria 2s are cute

[viscid bison]

pretty sure he has a standalone brand now, wonder if it's any good though

[elfin kayak]

not sure about that, i'm just aware of the models that he collabs with

ah crinear

[viscid bison]

as long as the packaging has waifu anime then that's all that matters

[elfin kayak]

no anime girl on the box tho

[viscid bison]

[frigid ivy]

I wonder if this is due to the infamous "plastic" timbre of electrostats. I've been eyeing the AA composer of the ZMF atrium as my first expensive upgrade. I've always preferred dynamic drivers.

[mental spade]

what if anime girl on the IEM

for a low price

[elfin kayak]

nah i'd get this

[oak shadow]

best mouse for rainbow six siege?

[sweet plover]

Racing wheel

[proper vector]

Viper v3 pro
NEXT!

[abstract warren]

Shape/mouse weight I’d say is pretty important, VV3 pro was good in my experience (new one coming out soon I think), currently using beastx pro and has the best clicks for an fps mouse I’ve tried

[mental spade]

Razer will do anything but release a normal wireless version of the viper mini shape

[sweet plover]

I had STAX 404 set there was just this effect from the model L700 it disappeared, but the feeling as if the sound is cut into pieces, the same effect and HE-1. But SR-X9000 amazing.

[wispy blaze]

My beastx max is still in China 😔

[obtuse dove]

I didnt buy it, but I got to try it out.

[abstract warren]

Hopefully you don’t get a 1 star local carrier

I remember thinking “this is a sick joke right?”

[wispy blaze]

Yeah don't need another Atlantis mini 4k debacle

Waited 5 weeks for it to go 4h once it landed in canada

💀

[abstract warren]

I also tried out the sword x more, shape is perfect but for some reason the sensor loves skipping

🥀

[wispy blaze]

It knows it's an ergo so it's having issues

[abstract warren]

It’s not even a full ergo either

It’s like a baby ergo which is why I like how it feels but unfortunate

[wispy blaze]

These mfs gotta load this plane up already 😭

[surreal rock]

👀

[gaunt flax]

It’s always new fastest ever base lol

[abstract warren]

Wake me up when the purple pad drops

[obtuse dove]

I wonder what novel new coating they are using

[surreal rock]

yeah you can always say that. i want to get a second glass pad just to try and see whats the difference. I either buy this one or the purple pad

[mighty tiger]

How does one afford such an item

[twilit flame]

be rich

[heady crystal]

Damn, why didn’t I think of that?

[abstract warren]

Buying bitcoin in 2010 and forgetting about it until present day

[obtuse dove]

Have a high paying job I guess

[twilit flame]

[abstract warren]

Tbf it’s being rich not think about being rich

[heady crystal]

Truuuuue

Outplayed

[abstract warren]

Luckily you can get HD800s and a good setup for remarkably less /s

[bitter sapphire]

my 60$ iem

[mighty tiger]

Ok wait so what’s a good audio device for gaming then

Hd800?

[terse ferry]

All depends on u

[abstract warren]

All relative to you and your preference/taste (whether you want headphones, or IEMs, there’s a lot of different options/paths), you can probably find ppl that recommend apple earbuds for gaming

[mighty tiger]

After seeing the 2600$ price tag I am gonna reconsider

[heady crystal]

Got myself a new monitor arriving tomorrow instead of using a 42" OLED TV. Not sure if I'll keep it but excited to try at least.

LG 27GX790A-B for that 27" 1440p 480Hz goodness.

[mighty tiger]

I think I have the same one lmao

Ok ig like 1k+

[heady zenith]

ngl i recently heard that soundstage is a myth

[heady crystal]

Do you like it?

[mighty tiger]

It’s good, honestly I prrefer my asus one just for the ui but yeah it works

Stand is thicc but I use a monitor arm

[mighty tiger]

Placebo?

I’m using the 450se rn

Got them on sale for like 100$

[heady crystal]

I'll be keeping it on the stand at first

[warm nest]

LFGGGGG

[frank mica]

Hey guys did u hear about AM INFINITY MOUSE from angry miao? Or anyone already have one?

[wispy blaze]

Wtf

[viscid bison]

kinda looks like an Abdominal Cricket Guard that my oldman would slam on the dinners table, after scoring 50 runs

[charred merlin]

Wireless headphones are just superior but nice

I can’t stand a wired headphones it’s like using your phone while charging it’s just not very good experience

Same goes for mice but mice I can actually stand a wired one but only if it’s a very slim and lightweight wire with a bangee

I still prefer wireless though

[terse ferry]

Wired are better

Better sound
