They lasted me like 3 years of constant daily usage

cursive summit
Commuting, traveling, using at home, using before sleep
Those Sony's had some heavy wear and they lasted like champs, and they still work
I gave them off to my sister who still uses them
Have been using headphones ever since
Man I need a good pair of Sony's again 
vagrant pagoda
my IEMs are as good or better than silcone ear plugs for sound reduction
its insane
i can turn them off and run power tools
thick elk
Well, personal experience with the aria's is not stellar.
One of them broke within a few months
cursive summit
In general what under 100$ IEMs are good for me a K702 boy
Something that has dead natural and neutral, not embellished audio presentation, barely any bass but amazing soundstage
thick elk
iem's will have more lower base than open backs in general
cursive summit
(willing to go above 100$)
sharp badger
Are K-702 better than K-701?
vagrant pagoda
i will say for iem
cursive summit
There are very minor differences
cursive summit
K701, K702, K602, K612, etc they all sound similar
The only one that is an outlier iirc is the Q701
The Q, from what I remember, is universally hated
sharp badger
Lol ok
cursive summit
I honestly don't know why AKG has so many models of headphones that are nearly the same
The ones that are interesting are K702 annies and K712Pros, of course
But K702 basic regular are also amazing in their own right
sharp badger
Looking quickly at prices there's K-702 for 118€ , K-701 for 122€ and K-712 Pro for 199€
cursive summit
I don't believe the extra price for K712P is justified
And K702 = K701 in my eyes, so I'd get the K702
I remember reading this before
Like what the fuck is that title
Why are there so many of them
sharp badger
Ok 👍
cursive summit
What country are you from?
sharp badger
Finland 😀
sharp badger
Yep 😅
cursive summit
K702 annies are rare af, as rare as the borealis
But that's fine cause K702 annies are really similar to the K712, same driver
cursive summit
Honestly
It's down to preference
I don't like hifiman
After listening to AKG hifiman sounded bland
sharp badger
Ok 🤓
cursive summit
Best value is definitely the K702, no question about it
It's cheap af and the sound quality is that of 500$ headphones
sharp badger
The current over-ears i've got are the AKG K550mk2
But would always want to upgrade from them to something better
But they're good
Just would be nice to have a removable cable
cursive summit
Are you from U.S
Cause we are from EU and your deals don't apply to us
Etys literally cost like 120$ rn
cursive summit
ER2SE is like 50$ in Adorama rn
Which seems like good value but again, it's Adorama
sharp badger
cursive summit
€226.79 🤢
sharp badger
Yeah
cursive summit
I'd rather Timeless
Also why tf do they look like brain drilldos
Like, you want me to drill into my brain with those?
sharp badger
Seems like it lol
cursive summit
It's like the only reason they exist is to have weird kinky pleasure with your ears
Why are they so deep
sharp badger
But i'd prefer over-ears when i'm at the PC, i use TWS for commuting/sports and such things
sharp badger
They're ok, currently got QCY T13, 1more ComfoBuds Pro and Edifier X3
But the use case is stated above & that's why i'd like to get a pair of better over-ears at home
I've changed the earcups on the AKG K550mk2's so they're much comfier now than with the original bad pleather cups
cursive summit
Also, the adorama deal is for er3se, not er2se
If that was for er2's, it'd be maybe interesting
sharp badger
So would be interested in getting an Atom Amp & Atom Dac plus and some better Over-ear headphones
sharp badger
Maybe it's just to go straight for a pair of Sennheiser HD800S or Sony MDR-Z1R then, the HiFiMAN Edition XS looks cheap in comparison which i've looked at also lol
Yeah the Edition XS seems like an very good headphone
cursive summit
Maybe it's just to go straight for a pair of Sennheiser HD800S or Sony MDR-Z1R t...
I can't say about Sony MDR-Z1R, but Sennies and Hifimans are completely different
Planars vs Dynamic drivers
You'd really have to look into your music catalogue to decide which one is better
sharp badger
Well i listen to a lot of different music genres 😅
cursive summit
Same way electrostats go bzzt and somehow make sound
cursive summit
Well i listen to a lot of different music genres 😅
I mean planars should have intimate bass response, typically
Dynamics I guess provide better sound stage and colourful sound experience?
Electrostats are as far as I understand the most detailed
I am getting annoyed
I am looking for natural sounding IEMs and literally the only thing is the fuckin etymotic
Or Moondrop variations which is literally 500$
I am looking something that copies K702 FR
Which is a line with a major bump after what, 2k I think?
€226.79 on amazon
No deal jose
thick elk
you could have directly named the parent company Samsung though
cursive summit
Since when do I pay no customs fees on amazon.com
And then they were bought by Samsung
thick elk
cursive summit
8 billion though, tf did they even do over there at harman?
thick elk
It's about their yearly revenue now, so not a bad deal as far as take-overs are concerned
cursive summit
It seems that
€104.15
Or I can just not buy the most expensive thing right out of the bat
And buy something simple instead
I don't feel like spending that much rn for something I might never use
I have K702s and NDH20s that I daily drive
Tf do you mean underrated
I can't hear jack shit with NDH20s
I don't, actually
astral haven
Cease ety shill
Yes they are more isolating
But they are quite painful to wear

So I'm torn between 2 IEMs, cause I want to try to dabble in the genre a bit
astral haven
Audio engineer who made a training program
cursive summit
I love natural audio
So it's between Linsoul 7Hz Salnotes Zero
26 euros rn
And ER2SE for 104
astral haven
I love natural audio
The zero are too sharp for me you may like them
cursive summit
What are these rankings
cursive summit
I don't feel like overspending at all honestly
And that fuckin dildo er2 design does not look appealing
I want to listen to music not give myself a penetration
astral haven
Definetly not a good first iem unless you have previously used high nrr earplugs alot
What level then?
cursive summit
Definetly not a good first iem unless you have previously used high nrr earplugs...
It nearly matches the K702 FR graph honestly
That's promising
astral haven
The fr is insanely fit dependent
And very minor fr differences have huge effects on the sound
cursive summit
ASR seem to be a little bit on the harsh side with the ER2's
astral haven
That's pretty good
cursive summit
Meh I'll snag a pair of Salnote Zeros
It's a lot cheaper and I'm nowhere near rich enough to spend a 100 euros like that
stark bobcat
And ER2SE for 104
haven't tried the other ones but the etymonic are painful for me

You like, modern day Bach or something?
astral haven
That's passing level 20
cursive summit
Prolly why you like etymotics
Reaches in to the ear canal deep to stimulate the receding hearing levels
stark bobcat
nah they actually do sound good if they don't cause you pain or discomfort
cursive summit
Meh I don't doubt it
I just can't spend that much if I don't actually intend to use them that much
astral haven
They however are not what I would call that much better
stark bobcat
because we all have different ear canals
astral haven
I have tried all of the etymotic, all of the westone and all of the dekoni tips
None of them are comfortable
cursive summit
Now I want some good ass bbq ribs
astral haven
The westone ultralarge super soft ones last the longest before pain but it still causes pain after a few hours
And it significantly messes with the sound
stark bobcat
I wore mine for multiple weeks on end it didn't help
like I don't dislike the etymotics at all I think they sound great the problem is recommending them to everyone because they just are not
astral haven
It's not just about size it's about shape
Also they are noooooot competitive nowdays
They just charge sooo much
stark bobcat
idk aren't the 2's under 100 on sale?
if they fit me I'd take them over other under 100 iems I have tried
astral haven
Yea and the truthears, salnotes, and cca all exist now
stark bobcat
haven't tried any but the truthears
astral haven
Now that they are not actively trying to make them sound metallic they are actually good
stark bobcat
I'd still use the etys over them if they weren't uncomfortable
astral haven
Surprising
stark bobcat
I mean the audio experience isn't all about how accurate it is
some ppl like bass canons
some ppl even like beyer sound 💀
cursive summit
They literally do?
stark bobcat
depends what metric you are looking at I much prefer the experience headphones give me
astral haven
And I really like the tone of some iems, but I just don't enjoy the in ear experience as much as over ear
😭
Shouldn't have bought that monitor arm right before Black Friday 😦
Now I can't grab that sweet deal
Not that I have any space for speakers but so be it

On monday I get to review my Kz Pr1 HiFi's vs HD800 and Genelec speakers
Good first foray in to IEM's I reckon
astral haven
Considering the past kz intentionally Chinese tuning I wouldnt be so sure...
fickle ore
Next I'll prob get some etymotics or idk, maybe they'll release estat iems
astral haven
Estat iems have been a thing forever lel
Tho recently there have been a ton of fake estat iems
fickle ore
Yea noticed
Still way too expensive I believe, I mean estats
60$ for planars I feel is super cheap
Haven't heard planars yet so I had to buy the most budget planar's 😄

Considering the past kz intentionally Chinese tuning I wouldnt be so sure...
Idk they say it's a monitoring IEM

Disowned whom?
astral haven
Disowned whom?
the kz collab
cursive summit
The CRN thing?
fickle ore
Monitoring IEM's prob best yeah. I'm looking forward to the Pr1's since they supposedly have excellent clarity and separation.
fickle ore
Yeah microscopically everything is just electromagnetics, but talking effects here.
Yeah no, I don't think frequency response explains all the audio related phenomena
But I gtg watch supernatural with the wifey so
astral haven
a 0- infinity frequency response would explain all audio phenomena
the problem is interpreting it
its beyond difficult to interpret a freq graph
its not currently possible
the tools arent good enough to measure accurately enough...
fickle ore
Wouldn't the speed of the diaphragm/coil explain some of how well audio is produced? I mean the 'latency' part rather than just following the harman freq curve..
astral haven
the speed of the diafragm vs the frequency is literally the frequency response
fickle ore
I guess.
But planar's do get a lot of praise for the speediness. Maybe it only means the sub bass region

cursive summit

No clue why
What else will you use?
You need to write reports and file spreadsheets, what else are they planning to use
Especially in universities
reef patrol
What else will you use?
Regular office.
cursive summit
Does this ban only office 365
Or does it include later versions of Office that have online functionality
reef patrol
It mentions 365 specifically - I assume the issue is with cloud.
ashen spindle
yes
cursive summit
Office from 2019 also has online functionality
Can connect to the cloud and save documents there
ashen spindle
also "what else will you use" is a really bad argument
reef patrol
Can connect to the cloud and save documents there
can being the operative word here I assume.

switches didn't appear to come lubed apart from a slim slim coating on the stem
is that for purchase or applied to stock KBs?
cursive summit
Switches are prelubed but that's DIY ultralube
Sold separately
Although factory lubing is more than good enough for Wooting keyboards
waxen hatch
I've disassembled a switch and it has a measly amount on spring/stem basically
they're hardly lubed at all
cursive summit
And it still functions really well
waxen hatch
i never said otherwise, the stem and housing are bone dry tho
ashen spindle
it is prelubed, not to the amount some people like it, obviously it works well since they also would work without any
waxen hatch

The legendary Sennie warmth and dynamic driver
Or support the Ukrainian efforts and get the Verum
Or become an IEM peasant
Honestly, I am really leaning to get a Verum
chrome estuary
ah ha! I get to talk about my Verum!
so i don't really know shit about "headphone grading" or whatever but i like mine. The only issue i have is the little plates on the outside are a little loose but are still put in.
cursive summit
I saw the Verum be called the "speaker headphone"
Not really "headphone headphone"
I don't really know what that means
Are they like, shouty and feel like you are in the middle of a disco where subwoofers rattle your entire body?
chrome estuary
i wouldn't call them that
i'm pretty sure people do anything to call them good headphones because the maker of the headphones is an absolute asshole
cursive summit
You mean, call them bad headphones
I read into that situation, the bloke's not a bad dude I don't think
It's the typical ex-soviet mentality, near all people from 80s or older are similarly minded

How's also the airiness? I hope the sound isn't just mushed together and there's some sort of sense of space for the sound
chrome estuary
they arent base heavy, i've heard they'd be great at using for mastering and stuff. They've got a good spacial sound from what i can tell, i'm not the best with explaining headphones and sound but they feel and sound good.
cursive summit
Solid stuff
chrome estuary
Even though they have an 8ohm resistance, i've heard they're best through a dac amp.
there are a few people online i'd suggest you watch their reviews
chrome estuary
Dankpods if you can find his video on them is good but he took it down due to people being assholes and bad mouthing the creator and likely him for talking about them.
if you talk about them, don't be surprised if someone snaps in with a, "Just go with Hifiman! They're so much better for the price!"

its driving me nuts
sharp badger
That's why i would like to buy an QD-OLED
pale sigil
for eample when im moving discord its like two different discords to me
sharp badger
Don't know if Mini-LEDs have got the same problem
cursive summit
I have a microIPS or whatever it's called
pale sigil
its not just blacks
cursive summit
I have 0 issues with black levels
pale sigil
which is why its stressing me out
cursive summit
Or dark levels
pale sigil
its just not as crips, idk why
sharp badger
What's the brand?
cursive summit
HP x34
pale sigil
ive changed every setting imaginable
My other one is Acer Nitro VG271UPbmiipx
id even compare it to my other 1080p IPS but i cant find its stand
cursive summit
Should have bought an AOC AG273QXP
sharp badger
There's loads of new displays coming out atm.
pale sigil
i wasn't after a new 16:9 vex
sharp badger
So i've chosen to kinda hold in to buy anything new atm.
pale sigil
pale sigil
again my issue is that it feels a lot worse on the new one
pale sigil
and its driving me through the roof
its not just blacks
like my task bar feels extremely different too
sharp badger
Well the review on RTINGs on the Acer kinda explains it
pale sigil
?
sharp badger
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/acer/nitro-vg271up-pbmiipx
This
pale sigil
i see
sharp badger
'' It also can't produce deep blacks with a mediocre contrast ratio and terrible black uniformity.''
According to the review
pale sigil
So basically my old monitor is worse
sharp badger
Yeah displays get better but IPS usually have the ''grey'' tints
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/dell/alienware-aw3423dw I've been looking at this one but there's been a lot of ''releases'' lately so i'm holding of buying atm.
All displays seem to have some problem
Just have to choose a ''decent'' enough one
pale sigil
why does my other feel so good
sharp badger
What's your other one then?
pale sigil
the left one is the acer one
sharp badger
Ah i see
pale sigil
one one you linked
sharp badger
Could probably try to calibrate it
pale sigil
ive been trying
sharp badger
It should be better
Than the Acer
But still there's probably Backlight bleeding
What have you been trying to calibrate it with?
Maybe something from this would help? 🙂
sharp badger
?? 😅
sharp badger
Go into windows settings
sharp badger
Yeah 🥲
Just go into Settings -> Display -> Display adaptor -> Colour Management
And into the properties 🙂
sharp badger
video helped
Nice! :)👍
pale sigil
still not 100% but deffo helped ease me
sharp badger
Ok but might be a bit fiddling to get the right settings 👍
pale sigil
aye but it could also be backlight idk
sharp badger
Yeah i've got it on mine too but it isn't too bad
pale sigil
ngl
wish i just had qd-oled
but its just so expensive
christ its a bad video
but you can see the weirdness on the left
Ye I think my issue is backlighting
Yup
i know it looks bad on picture but i can barely notice it in person
its extremely visible on my hp x34
@sharp badgeram i going mad?
sharp badger
Seems like Backlight issue
It's on the left on the Main
And the Corners on the Second
But Oleds got their problems too
With the Burn-in issues
gusty kiln
can't wait to see how LG's 27 OLED does in tests
sharp badger
Yeah
gusty kiln
shame I already bought a 27 1440p 240hz IPS this year
sharp badger
But QD-Oled is OLED & QLED
So it's two ''types''
Still it'll hold you on for a long time
sharp badger
So there'll probably be new display technologies when you decide to switch displays
gusty kiln
yeah
sharp badger
But i'm currently watching the OLED/QD-OLED market
Would like to have an 1440p display
gusty kiln
JOLED doing anything or still teasing?
gusty kiln
still nothing
gusty kiln
yeah they seem to be a vaporware company
sharp badger

I use my monitor pretty dim so backlight bleed isn't noticeable

cant notice backlight if you just dont look at anything dark ez

I wish at some point GN would do the Hardware Unboxed or even LTT thing and expand their operations to encompass more spheres of tech to review
Nowhere near the LTT thing cause their quality has went downhill completely
But more of the PC market and also review cool upcoming tech too
GN is defo a project to support and I hope they'll grow
vagrant pagoda

only if steve actuially lets someone else do content
he is so invested in everything GN dose it would be hard to branch out
pale sigil
for some weird reason my monitor didn't have a stcker like my friends
older model perhaps? :p
cursive summit
Well with HU you have 2 peeps, one who works on the display reviews and the other lad is more focused on graphics cards
vagrant pagoda
also i dont think steve is a monitor person
they never have amazing displays in the offices
so its also likely not that big of an intrest to steve
pale sigil
cherry on top is my fucking computer is making whiney grind noises
fucking kill me already
cursive summit
Tbf I think what GN does currently is heavily expand their depth of operations
Not broaden their operations but they invest heavily into their review process
Their nvidia burning adaptor tests were quite amazing I'd say
vagrant pagoda
Tbf I think what GN does currently is heavily expand their depth of operations
steve has always been a best or nothing man
he dose the best he can or nothing
which as time goes on the standard gets higher and higher
cursive summit
If Steve keeps investing more into good personnel and equipment to review the quality of atoms at some point, I'm all for it
vagrant pagoda
which means branching is going to be hard for them
gusty kiln
think they are pivoting more into investigative journalism than more tech reviews
vagrant pagoda
think they are pivoting more into investigative journalism than more tech review...
nah he always did that
cursive summit
think they are pivoting more into investigative journalism than more tech review...
We don't really have that much tech drama going on tbf

its just easier now because money

Is there a way to stream my Switch on Discord without a capture device?
pale sigil
no
cursive summit
Is there a way to stream my Switch on Discord without a capture device?
Yes
Question number 1
Is it homebrewed?
cursive summit
Then you are out of options
Either buy a 10$ capture card or homebrew your switch
wheat plume
if you login to the youtube app on Switch, can you livestream?
cursive summit
this model cant be ;-;
Also, all Switches can be cracked
Or jailbroken, if you will
wheat plume
I thougth it was only the 2017 model?
wheat plume
oooo
cursive summit
Actually I saw a second hand cracked Switch for 175 euros today
You want one? I'd pick one up for you
cursive summit
What
That's.. not how that works
You can easily uninstall all homebrew software
And just re-homebrew it clean
reef patrol
There's now a hardware exploit
There is?
cursive summit
There's been one for a while
reef patrol
Do share
cursive summit
SX invented it a few years back by soldering a modchip to the chipset and delivering the fusee exploit directly to the CPU or something
However those fuckers did get caught and got tried in court
cursive summit
Yeah but story doesn't end there
The modchips got reverse engineered
So now they are made by other peeps
reef patrol
cursive summit
You can buy them off of ali rn
A bit of a difficult process and a dangerous one to actually connect them to the mainboard
But honestly, it's kinda worth it
pale sigil
Noise went away after 5 minutes on reboot....
That noise was fucked, i think i should look into replacement or something? @ashen spindle
ashen spindle
huh what
vagrant pagoda
i mean ive never had a problem finding them
the easy is look for used ones that are from og bundles
chrome estuary
Ngl I've thought about grabbing an OLED switch and a modboard
cursive summit
Ngl I've thought about grabbing an OLED switch and a modboard
I would highly advise against if you can get a first gen Switch
The modchip comes with some nuances and obviously you can fuck your device to the point it's completely destroyed
However if you really need the OLED display and extra performance over Erista then... go for it?
Or wait for Switch 2 it'll come out next year
chrome estuary
I own a launch switch that's modded
chrome estuary
Yup. I went to GameStop and got one right around the time people found that models were being fixed. Well mine thankfully was one I could mod
vagrant pagoda
Ngl I've thought about grabbing an OLED switch and a modboard
are there oled boards out?
chrome estuary
Yeah I'm pretty sure at least. I swear I've seen them
cursive summit
you gotta hand wire it though?
Yeah
Solder it to the processor
I had a video guide for the SX Core
cursive summit
Same shit with the knockoffs
vagrant pagoda
there are flex pcbs for oleds now
cursive summit
I can't say I know what a flex PCB is
cursive summit
Uhh
vagrant pagoda
simple mod chips you hand wire shit
cursive summit
For the switch those always flexed, I think
vagrant pagoda
and you have to get the location right for each wire
with a flex pcb, the pcb is fitted to where you need to solder
you solder the flex pcb to the hardware
cursive summit
... just like they have always been for the switch?
vagrant pagoda
so you cant miss
vagrant pagoda
... just like they have always been for the switch?
no
og mod chips were hand wire
cursive summit
The way you described them, they always had those features
cursive summit
SX core?
cursive summit
SX one was literally the first modchip for switch
cursive summit
Yeah I don't remember one of these
I remember there were other options than the SX one, but those were even rarer
vagrant pagoda
this is months before the sx
