About 200+ eur
But I will always suggest just going with overears cause inears suck ass for audio quality and you can get much better quality than in-ears for like 120 eur
Fook off
Headphones > anything else

IEMs for Traveling, running & such , Over-ears at the PC or speakers imo.
feral ferry
I have done more than my fair share of city and intercity, transcity travel with overears
They work well

It's ok yeah but the space if one want to travel light IEMs take so little space

You keep em on you?
On your neck?
No need to storage them
Everyone has preferences
I grew up with headphones
So naturally I gravitate towards them
grizzled bramble
Yeah for sure
feral ferry
They work, I am comfortable with them so I pick them over anything else
Hexas
If you want to try em out come over to Klaipėda 
Your own loss then

feral ferry
Have the MM-100 released yet?
Not that I've heard of yet
Nor should you
Some do, ahem, "gypsies"
I've heard a native romanian shittalk them a lot
But eh they just peeps like the rest of us getting by
Yeah they are premium
Ehh
Certain AKGs are built outside of China
I think Sennies have factories outside of China too
IE200s made in China, so yeah Sennies are off
What's wrong with things designed in China 😦
If Crinacle partners with some of em then they definitely don't lack quality
Crinacle's an audio youtoober
Got his own audio "brand" going
I have not seen bad quality reviews on Truthear devices
Moondrops have had some issues I have come across but is overall fine
Again I just want to clear up that it's not a "risk" to buy specific audio devices
Hifiman products? Sure, that is considered a risk nowadays
But Truthear, 7hz I think, are all considered fine
It's just that chi-fi gives audio quality that is hard to match with western contemporaries at that price tag, which is why the IEM market is booming right now
Booming with chi-fi products that are just better than anything else
The reality is as such sadly

I am literally offering a tryout session for 80€ chifi iems
In litwa there is only 1 place I have been to that is offering audio tryouts
Vilnius, soundium
Actually no, ausines.com
Soundium doesn't do tryouts iirc
Here you either live in Vilnius and get to try out some audio stuff or you buy shit, test it out, and return if you don't like it
Sad reality
As a friendly neigborhood Litwanian, I suggest Hexas as the best middle-range offering right now without going broke cause they cost a lot less than other shit
Quality is good, I like em, audio quality is good as well
The reason I don't use em is cause I hate IEMs, I got my AKGs for daily drive, hexas are used by my waifu and she uses them a lot
Fuckin panasonic
Also, you numbnut, amazon.DE
Don't buy from .com unless you want to pay 21% VAT customs

Game companies want to forcefully transition everyone to the cloud as it helps them maintain control over the product.
No more piracy, no more modding to fix the games, no more having to compete with older titles. Whenever you bring out a new game you can just pull the plug on the old ones just like with Overwatch when the second game came out. With the game being cloud based you just tell the fans "look bro it just wasn't profitable to pay for the cloud servers no more".
Heed my words, do not buy a single 'cloud gaming' product. It is inevitable the industry will steal your games from you to force you to keep buying the newer titles

I thought FSR2 was an open standard, but I am guessing Nvidia refuses to use it? Just like what they used to do with Freesync?
trim rock
It is an open source thing yes
Supported on all GPUs
People are just angry because this means Starfield probably won't have their precious DLSS.. which is a kind of valid concern to be honest
severe compass
Last I checked FSR2 performed about as good as DLSS2, so if Nvidia can run both then it shouldn't be an issue?
I could maybe understand for the 5 people who purchases the 4000 series missing out on DLSS3, but frame generation seems kinda gross to me ngl

DLSS generally produces better results
Another concern is that raytracing stuff might be more limited
Probably none of that fancy full path tracing ever (unless.. mods..)

What's up with the embeds
Musk blew up Twitter. Again.
orchid prism
Not yet.
And he still does whatever he wants. It seems like in an attempt to limit users, he had someone set up a limiter...that causes Twitter to overload itself with requests for things that it blocks. Essentially DDoS by design.
It begins. The great meme war.
young hill
Crazy how they still have so many offices
orchid prism
Not offices. Studios bought up and stripped of their Identity.
nimble current
gotta love corporate acquisitions

Look at all those Ubisoft Quebec ECT ect
small comet

Brudda go to sleep
It's past midnight
Go to sleep brother 
You wake up like 7AM like normal person?
Get your precious hours
It was a long process since Turing machine and such, but it was incremental upgrades
Mainly just Cities Skylines, I like traffic management
Yet I have no plans to get a license for driving
Of course
It's exciting
Eh
I just can't be bothered
small comet
better? no more need for mods for lane arrows etc?
feral ferry
Are you implying they are including terrorists into Cities Skylines?
I have a bad feeling about this
Though it would be fun to ram a jet aircraft into a skyscraper
Like one wisdomsayer once said, what's the point of a flight sim if you can't ram a plane into a building
It's part of the fun
small comet
well city skylines 1 itself has basically 0 traffic management. you need to install a mod to control which roads has which lane arrows, which itnersection allows what etc
feral ferry
I was, obviously
Of course, Hideo Kojima has an obsession with it
Ngl I still have no clue why Kojima went on that Geoff Keighley show and started talking about 9/11 for like 20 mins or whatever
Yeah... no more realistic collisions with buildings in flight games
Wey wey it's been like 20 years
Nothing wrong with being a bit dark about it
Nobody said if the building has people in it
I just want a game where the collision mechanics are hella realistic
Like Teardown
This shit is fun
Finally a realistic princess Diana sim
(that was obviously, a joke)
nimble current
I have beamNG
its really fun
there's multiplayer mods
but the standard game is singleplayer yes
mellow basin
yes, buy beamng
incredible game, love it
i play it with my friends in beamMP 24/7
nimble current
its not just the crash/damage physics that's realistic but the way the cars handle as well
mellow basin
we installed dummy mods, so we do realistic car crashes together
if you got friends who have it, incredible game
nimble current
kinda wish they'd add native multiplayer support
mellow basin
YES. Along with actual GOOD MODS!
nimble current
I love snowrunner, but its a whole nother bag
feral ferry
Oh yeah, there's like a new Bladerunner game
Never seen blade runner tbf but it seems fine
Oh yeah you want a kicker?
Never seen a single matrix movie
nimble current
I think so too
nimble current
Never seen a single matrix movie
why are you such a failure as a human
I mean come on
feral ferry
I grew up with 12 chairs and adventures of Shurik
Never seen the capitalist propaganda trash
nimble current
no wonder you're so bitter all the time
you've managed to dodge every good movie or show for your entire life
feral ferry
you've managed to dodge every good movie or show for your entire life
I do think Twilight is a good franchise though
Good movies
That was sort of a joke, I actually liked that shit way back when
feral ferry
What's wrong with HP
nimble current
kinda overrated though
feral ferry
Ngl I don't quite get the HP hate
I'll be completely honest
I have never heard of the film or seen this cover art before
That's popular?
nimble current
I don't care what bs jk rowling said, it doesn't really change my opinion on harry potter
feral ferry
2004 Russian, yeah no wonder I haven't heard of it
nimble current
separation of art and artist etc
feral ferry
I grew up with whatever trash was fed into my parent's minds, and it's the usual USSR shit
Whoa whoa leave mr. West alone
nimble current
her opinions doesn't really have anything to do with harry potter is why, I can think she's a shitty person but it doesn't affect my view of the HP movies
feral ferry
He just has mental issues
nimble current
my main gripe with kanye is he knows he has issues but refuses to do anything about it
but rather just aggrevates them
I've never been a big fan of him or his music, he's made some good ones but in general ehh there's better hiphop
I can recognize him being influential
but I don't have to like everything about the influence he had
so do I
am not gonna pretend to be one of those "I listen to everything" plebs though when what they really mean is they'll listen to everything the mainstream hit list feeds them
most people would get bored with or think I'm a lunatic for the stuff I listen to
feral ferry
eclectic
Must be a common misspelling of ecler
Good snack
We call them eclers here, never really looked up the actual spelling of that word
nimble current
I predominantly prefer instrumental/non-vocal music too so that automatically strays way out of the majority's musical comfort zone
like some people are actually obsessed with always needing someone to sing in their ear regardless of genre
or they get uncomfortable or something
feral ferry

You must hate shoegaze then
nimble current
I mean I don't hate vocals or singing either, I listen to quite a few artists who do as well
but most of my discography collection lacks vocalists
nimble current
nah I don't mind shoegaze
feral ferry
Vocals are an important instrument for me in songs, it's not a terrible loss if a song is good without vocals
But vocals a lot of times make or break most songs
nimble current
I like a lot of ambient drone and stuff like that, or electronic/idm
I like it when artists sorta use the vocals as just another instrument
like its not the centerstage but rather part of the soundscape
feral ferry
I like it when artists sorta use the vocals as just another instrument
Lana Del Rey?
She's sort of known for it
MAZZY STAR?
I've been binging on Mazzy the past month
The weird think with Mazzy is
I completely forget I am listening to music
Somehow it's so natural I forget a track is on
nimble current
feral ferry
Well not like Mazzy is that unknown, rather well recognised band
nimble current
Lana Del Rey?
vaguely familiar with the name, can't recall last I heard it though
burial was quite popular in the late 00s and early 2010s
feral ferry
This is the sort of discussions #938161568565301309 was created for, too bad it's dead
Where you gone, @ashen lark
nimble current
and yeah was very into it at the time
feral ferry
vaguely familiar with the name, can't recall last I heard it though
Wdym "vaguely"
Lana's a superartist at this point
nimble current
like I reckognize it, but it hasn't been on my radar that much
feral ferry
Hm, weird
She has good sounds in her catalogue
But most of the ones I like are older songs
Is Lana really a pop artist
I could barely ever attribute her to pop
At least not the typical Drake style of trash
nimble current
fuck you UMG for not letting it play embedded
feral ferry
Rn I'm listening to this, if anyone's ever heard of this https://youtu.be/PXDlU0YDQ6U
Variations of pop, maybe, she's more on the indie side of things tfor me
nimble current
I know of the cranberries, mostly because zombie was huge in the 90s
feral ferry
I know of the cranberries, mostly because zombie was huge in the 90s
There's also that surprisingly wildly popular Zombie cover by some rock band
That released a few years back
I swear to god
Someone's heard of Alvvays here?
nimble current
this is the kind of stuff I put on to tests peoples "I listen to everything" claim
nimble current
sure does 
barren pewter
…um
feral ferry
I haven't listed my main artists yet
barren pewter
inb4 backstreet boys
feral ferry
If anyone here actually listened to same exact artists as I do, I would ditch my wife and go gay
barren pewter
If anyone here actually listened to same exact artists as I do, I would ditch my...
So NOW you’d go gay
feral ferry
She doesn't support my indie tendencies
small comet
huh i thought this was game talk
feral ferry
huh i thought this was game talk
Bexin's gone so #938161568565301309 had an outbreak
nimble current
huh i thought this was game talk
does this look like a fucking game to you?
you get used to it
trust me my first reaction to vsnares was wtf is this shit
but I got so intrigued so I kept listening
before I knew it I binged his whole discography
ashen lark

feral ferry
are you a prison inmate or smth?
One would want to become one after listening to you on Wooting streams
nimble current
I mean if they had breakcore there it wouldn't be so bad
nimble current
One would want to become one after listening to you on Wooting streams
oof

feral ferry
Issa joke, love you Tony-kun
feral ferry
love hypnotic droney ambient
You might like Sigur Ros
It's Icelandic so the vocals will mean nothing to begin with
The world by storm?
Their songs sure don't have that much listens if they are world-renowned
But I do like their sound
Hoppipolla is a good listen
nimble current
listening on youtube atm
is not bad
melodies remind a bit of the older boards of canada beatless stuff
feral ferry
Neither did I
But I like a few songs
Tbf most artists produce maybe a few songs that are actually really nice, and the rest are mediocre
Actually, Radiohead
I have like 3-5 songs from Radiohead I listen to fairly often
The rest are just like, not good for me
And yes I will die on that funeral pyre that Paranoid Android is not a good song
nimble current
same, I like ok computer and maybe a few more but in general not my style
boards of canada is probably my number one fav act, can't really think of anything they've done that hasn't been great or amazing
they just kinda changed my life when I got into them around the late 00s
feral ferry
The cool thing about music is that I fail to realize that there are hundreds of thousands of artists out there whose names or music I will never ever hear
Ngl I rarely find artists that are perfect
Usually for me artists grow only on subsequent listenings
Typically it's like "not unlistenable, might listen later"
I do have songs that I like from the get-go
Like Alvvays actually
That was an instant click
nimble current
its always a bit different for me, some things just hits rightaway but can get old pretty quick
feral ferry
I also listen to quite a bit of Slowdive nowadays
Preparing for that new album this year
nimble current
other stuff doesn't appear that intriguing at first but then grows to become my favourite musics
solar fields is fantastic
extended is probably my favourite of his
nimble current
if you like solar fields you'll probably like carbon based lifeforms too
one of my very favs that one
also kind of a life altering band for me
feral ferry
Listen to the new single then
nimble current
I heard hydroponic garden the first time on my first acid trip
holy crap that was something else
then they came out with world of sleepers later that year
that's still my favourite of theirs
feral ferry
I fuckin hate Anthony Fantano nowadays, man's lost any semblance of what's good anymore
If a band doesn't sound how they sounded in the 90s, they aren't interesting anymore
Like, what
Slowdive still sounds great
nimble current
yeah I kinda lost most respect I had for him after his meh review of syro
like that album is amazing
there's so much impeccable musicality on there
feral ferry
Electronic music eh
nimble current
if its good music its good music
feral ferry
I have been out of touch on any kind of electronic music for a long time now
nimble current
doesn't really matter at all what instruments are being used
feral ferry
Ngl music critics are quite useless
nimble current
I've found a lot of good music via some music reviewers
but yeah in the end what matters is if you like it
feral ferry
Damn I had to scroll to like 4 years ago songs in my playlist to find an EDM song
And it's a meme song as it happens lol
nimble current
am not big on "EDM"
feral ferry
I've been binging indie stuff for a long time now
feral ferry
Ngl I've prolly never heard a single deadmau5 song
nimble current
that's more classic trance to me
I was into trance a lot as a kid in the 90s
probably one of his most known tracks
quite nice long buildup
feral ferry
AralSea buddy, it's near 2AM, go to sleep
nimble current
gotta train your ears
feral ferry
Goodnight son, sleep well
nimble current
that ones pretty popular yeah
strobe is better tho
love how it takes almost 7 minutes for it to build up to the final beat drop
rancid hearth
Ngl music critics are quite useless
that's what I said
fading spade
PC gaming is so 1993
What do I wanna play? Doom? nah, all you get is solitaire, minesweeper and Pinball that look like the 1990s
you dont got games like Halo
Halo was not on PC in 2010?
still spire
Halo 1 was and Halo 2 technically was
still spire
orchid prism
A true rage against the machine approach. Don't ask to poll, interrupt the whole damn system demanding it.
fallow bronze
Pretty sure there is no true ps/2 anymore
still spire
There are still motherboards with PS/2
fallow bronze
But is it still interrupting? Or is it usb internally?
small comet
its interupt based
nimble current
Halo is overrated anyways
bleak pike
Halo is just mediocre at best
If I still had my admin powers id be banning you rn
orchid prism
bleak pike
Although tbf
Mediocre is right past halo reach
@young hill time to use your American rights or some shit to mow these guys down
nimble current
ya'll only love halo because it was the console peasants first taste of a decent fps
bleak pike
Bitch I play it every year
I've probably completed halo 3 over 50x
Do not underestimate my love for halo
nimble current
fading spade
fallow bronze
Halo 1 is mediocre. It was something that console peasants never experienced but it wasn't something new </rant>
nimble current
yeah as someone who had played literally over a dozen fps since wolfenstein in 1993 on PC it was difficult for me to see what the big deal with halo was when it launched
but people went completely nuts over it
also I thought fps with a controller was a fucking stupid idea then and I still feel the same 20+ years later
orchid prism
It brought FPS to consoles with split screen and online in a way that basically created an industry.
nimble current
sadly it did yes

Until 4 it was quite distinct than call of duty or other other first person shooters
tepid rain
who give me any very good game! :D
young hill
Story of 4 was good 5 was where it took a turn for the worse onward. The only fun thing left of new halo games is the multiplayer but not everyone wants to play online.
fringe salmon
Just gotta finish the ng+ run and I’m 100% done, good game
fringe salmon
i mean, less than what people do for work in the same time span lol
fringe salmon
cant wait to finish it and then 100% it again on pc in a year or two when it comes out xD
broken kraken
The difference is people get paid for work
fringe salmon
yeah because otherwise most people wouldnt do the work, so doing something fun instead like playing this game

If someone's corpse was put into a well to hide it, but that well was used to provide water to the surrounding farmland and houses, technically, would anyone who drinks that water be a cannibal without knowing it?
