Only problem with the apple one is that apple doesn't use the same volume control method like android... So by default it is a bit soft

the click is probably a rebadged generic cx dongle, might be a cx31993 but it also could be a cx20 series dac which arent as good

Honestly owning a moondrop ssp and aria I would say their quality leaves a bit to be desired at least.
Both are extremly vunrable to moisture from the inside (so really do not use them after a shower)
The ports on the inside are also quite sensitive to dirt / skin cells getting in and clogging it.
Granted the latter can be fixed with canned air, but still my experience isn't great so far.

Hello i was wondering how to i set up rapid trigger for the wooting ?
astral haven
is it cheaper than swift?
thats alot less than bitcoin usually is
its insanely expensive outside of a bank
last time i had to do it it was over 30% for a few hundred bucks worth
yup
faster was on top of that

it also was not fast in the slightest

maybe, but a lot of criminals also aren't the sharpest tools in the shed
for instance here a lot of the crime networks have migrated over to supposedly "safe" messaging services, but have gotten busted from the convos being leaked or otherwise acquired by law enforcement
some even use open unsecured services like sms for dealing and think they're being clever by using some coded message
its not a waterproof fix to the problem but it will push a good amount towards more risky options

part of my last job was repairing iphones, and we had to turn away about half of our iphone 6 and 7 customers because the back was bent
wheat plume
oooofffffff
astral haven
the iphone 8 was the one that required you to sit on it to bend it
the 6 and 7 actually had some phones bent at the factory
was pretty minor but its still a big problem because of the such low quality aluminum they used
"aircraft grade aluminum" yea, airlines are the cheapest sob's on the planet lmao

Actually in the osu_discussion channel irc use would be higher as the chat in osu! actually still uses irc
So anyone using osu! is is running an irc client
twitch is a bit different than osu! here, as Bancho is actually an irc server, as far as I can see twitch chat is not.
Still I don't think it has the drawbacks of being irc, like requiring a bouncer to see messages when your are not connected. I could be wrong though

Custom loop?
thick elk
Fair enough, my aio worked fine and my current one works great
thick elk
I have two working ones, one not in use
My previous one just had garbage stock fans which I replaced long ago. (Coolermaster Nepton280L)
But at some point I wanted something new and got a Liquid Freezer 420
Just looked it up, I used that one for roughly 8 and a half years
thick elk
It still works perfectly fine, just couldn't find the amd bracket and CM doesn't offer any so there was that. I could use it on my server but the case doesn't play nicely with top mounted aio's and the tower cooler I use there works fine
I hope my liquid freezer 420 lasts just as long
Cooler Master uses more rigid tubing that don't leak
No still plastic just a bit more rigid
I actually emptied / refilled it after I replaced it just to check, was really almost full anyway with no problems whatsoever, now it just uses distilled water
but really it's in storage
https://image.coolblue.nl/600x315/products/351746 this is how it looked

wheat plume
Is that a good thing?
coarse cloak
Why do my 23 euro earphones sound better than my headphones???
did you play around with the equalizer of your headphones?
coarse cloak
I'm using SoundID Reference for mine and they're pretty fine, specially with ANC
wheat plume
did you play around with the equalizer of your headphones?
Yes
To see if I can make them sound fuller
But I'm comparing before the eq to the earphones
wheat plume
O
coarse cloak
a lot of people wanted to instantly refund/return once they used it out of the box, only good after fixing EQ
wheat plume
Yeah
Mine like treble a bit much by default
wheat plume
Me?
wheat plume
HyperX Cloud 2....
astral haven
oh
yea the cloud2 are only good for headphones with a mic
and they are solidly passable in a pinch for basically anything
wheat plume
I can get a nice eq for them using equalizerAPO on Windows
.but if I import the same settings to EasyEffects on Linux
It doesn't sound the same
And idk why
I got them sounding really good on windows
Well....I stole the eq preset from GitHub
But it sounds good
coarse cloak
I'd tell you to try SoundID Reference but I think they don't fully support linux anymore
and they even have calibration profile for it
astral haven
the autoeq project is on github and they have some pretty good sources for their measurements
wheat plume
Yes
That's where I got it from
astral haven
And idk why
its because you dont have full control over the q
i have no idea how to make audio work on linux
i literally gave up and spent $700 on a mixer so that the computers wouldnt have to do anything, my mixer does my eq
wheat plume
EasyEffects is pretty easy
It's only requirement is that you are using pipewire for your audio
And that's done for you on most distros now
Arch
Fedora
They switched to pipewire
I think Ubuntu is going to too soon
Or have they?? Idk
astral haven
oh btw different sample rate causes eq to apply differently
wheat plume
Hmmm?
I think my sample rate was 48000
Same in Windows..I think
Idk how to check in Windows
coarse cloak
sound settings (tray - right click on the sound icon)
sound control panel (if the window is small sized it's on the right side, if it's long then it's down there)
right click on the device, properties, advanced
astral haven
or in win 11, sound settings, click on the arrow to the right of the device, and its the first option under output settings
coarse cloak
forgot w11 is slightly different for some stuff..
astral haven
yea then its probably q factor
can you screenshot your settings in equalizerapo and easyeffects
wheat plume
I can't in apo cause my windows install is fucked
Only Linux for the last month xd but idc I prefer it anyway
astral haven
if you have filesystem access, paste the config file and ill take a peek
im assuming you want to rescue your good settings and apply them to linux?
astral haven
yee
coarse cloak
woah it's in .wav format? interesting
astral haven
if you apply that same file to both it should sound identical
wheat plume
woah it's in .wav format? interesting
That's what the website gave me
astral haven
yea were you able to apply the file on linux?
wheat plume
Yeah it just doesn't sound the same as it does in windows when applied
wheat plume
https://autoeq.app/
I used this
You select your headphones and EQ software and it gives you a .WAV
coarse cloak
oh they have my headphones too, thank u ill save this in case i want to stop using soundid reference
astral haven
and you took that same file and applied it in windows and linux?
astral haven
does easyeffects have a screen that shows you what its doing?
wheat plume
Very overly complicated
astral haven
🤷 eqapo is designed like an actual audio rack
except with only the effects that windows audio api supports
wheat plume
does easyeffects have a screen that shows you what its doing?
The site said add a convolver and import the wav so I did
astral haven
well yes thats the convolution file itself
does it show you the effect that it is applying?
in a graph from 20-20khz?
wheat plume
Idk
astral haven
can you zoom out or in on that graph at the top?
or does it show you bars while you are playing music?
ive never used this software before
wheat plume
Yeah
It doesn't move when playing music but the 4 bars in the bottom right move
astral haven
ooh
wheat plume
The ones with -99 next to them
astral haven
click the button that says spectrum
wheat plume
I already closed the app

wheat plume
click the button that says spectrum
wheat plume
Maybe cause I'm not playing audio?
coarse cloak
astral haven
try playing something and see i guess
wheat plume
astral haven
wow thats a really useless graph in the middle there
wheat plume
The other method using the txt file instead
Add an eq instead of the convolver
And import the txt file
And that worked out the same way
Sounded different to windows
Unless I need both? The convolver and EQ ?
astral haven
nooo
the convolver is a different format of eq
it has all of the frequencies from 0 to 24khz accounted for, so it can be more complete and accurate
wheat plume
Hmmm
astral haven
problem is the software cant know how exactly the convolution is set
the convolution could be additive or subtractive
wheat plume
What if I use the eq with the txt file instead?
astral haven
it wont be the same sound as the convolution, but it should get you close
that text file you have should sound the same on both as well
wheat plume
I also got a 15 band preset from online too
That I found on the steam forum because they made it make it better
astral haven
15 band will often sound quite different
but also gotta remember all of these are personal preference

Is there a possible way to make wooting HHKB layout?
nope
if you're that serious, best bet is making your own PCB and own firmware
I recall someone here did that for osu and a 2 key macropad before wooting announced their "uwu"
even had a decent stab at rapid trigger, better than DrunkDeer at least
crisp granite
nope
if you're that serious, best bet is making your own PCB and own firmware
would also add that designing your own PCB isn't actually that hard
and it is quite the fun exercise for "cool sh*t you didn't think you could do until you actually did and started soldering all the bits to it"
it's doubly fun when you realise you screwed up hard and need to tweak the design so you have a functional board after the next run

The only thing that matters is the steel used and the hsharpening stone you have

thick elk
Personally I just use an electric shaver, the extra roughness kind of suits me but more importantly I am just too lazy otherwise.
I don't of course, you should not mix hand and electric shaving
From how I understand it, shaving by hand greates scar tissue, which works well if you are shaving over it again. If you never shave or shave electrically you don't have that. It also makes the electric shaving more irritating after.
I will add on the mater of electric shaving, don't get those rotary Philips ones, those are just garbage. I used them for years, glad I switched to braun
Just started with Philips replaced that one years later with another one, only when I forgot my charger did I decide to try something else and it was a rather big improvement.
Always been kind of a loner, but I was and still am definitely a cheapskate.
Just the basic Philips one is kind of the default in the Netherlands.
Also in terms of price the basic ones cost roughly the same
Or rather than loner, I am way to passive and reactive making any social moves.

I remember seeing a scuttle with a separate chamber for hot water under the lather bowl so you’d always have a nice hot lather
Inside of the scuttle was also very textured for lather production
It came in blue, which instantly made it the best

Wireless in a nutshell
Wireless = 3x the price of equally sounding wired hardware
Even then wireless does not and prolly will never match wired on the top end

Oh I didn't

In general with wireless earbuds
@cursive summit also ye my ears hate buds, I even tried foam, I'm gonna stick to headphones.

I mean trash sounds better than trash is pretty unironically believable
cursive summit
@zealous cloakStill waiting for you to get something more normal than 10$ panasonics
"Extra bass"
Meaning, the product is trash
Like marketing bass in a product means 2 things, usually
cursive summit
Something that has lots of bass either 1) they have actually great audio separation and sound great 2) Are so muddy and trash that bass masks the mess underneath
Usually it's 2)
In terms of wireless with good bass, I have went to a shop once
Topocentras, for @zealous cloak
And tried out everything from 100$ to 500$ in terms of wireless
The only wireless things that sounded actually good for me, with bass-focus, was like 500$ beats
Everything else below like 500$ were just mediocre
Cause wireless sounds ass
pale sigil
I kinda miss taking my mx50s out
When I went to uni everyday
Not that I'm a fan of them anymore
But they had nice build quality for outside
wheat plume
how are they able to trademark the phrase "EXTRA BASS"???
cursive summit
Audio fidelity is the main point of the headphone
Not comfort
Are you using them as earmuffs or headphones?
pale sigil
Where's my akg k612 pros look fucking stupid
And my HD6xx aren't really made for travelling xd
But in general they are big and bulky
cursive summit
Headphones are for audio reproduction, my criteria is that they should do audio reproduction if not impeccably and not flawlessly, at least good enough to sound listenable and I won't notice the jank
Wireless is so damn bad at sounding not jank
Actually I completely forgot I have a spare set of headphones that I replaced like 2-3 years ago, my AKG K371s
I forgot what was wrong with them though
Still a 100$ set of cans, you call dibs? @zealous cloak
Don't need em at all
Eh fair enough just looking out for my fellow countryman

I highly doubt they do
I used to think that gaming headphones used to "slay"
That's what everyone who aren't actually in the hifi sphere think
"Oh my 50$ purchase sound amazing"
Like, it doesn't
Trust me it doesn't
I was in the same exact position until I started using the good stuff
pale sigil
Everytime people say these cheap earbuds kill they always sound trash
cursive summit
Eh, wrong
pale sigil
cough @neat oriole
cursive summit
Some gaming stuff are actually fine
And yes Plesant is right on this one
You being accepting of the sound does not mean you are actually aware of what good sound is
It's not even an ouch
It's the truth
Like I was the same, I was contempt with my 20$ Sony headphones
Then I was happy with my Razers and other shit
Until I was like "Why don't I get into hifi"
coarse cloak
Audiophile headphones is such a rabbit hole lol
cursive summit
I got 100$ AKG cans, and ever since I can literally never go back to anything else
It's the human brain effect
pale sigil
I loved my akgs
cursive summit
Something is good to you until you listen to proper good, and you can't go back
coarse cloak
When it comes to audio I only trust my two friends with relative perfect pitch
AKGs are nice though
cursive summit
Could be but by listening with something that can't reproduce audio properly you are 1) Losing competitive advantage in games
- Ruining your own experience with music
Cause you can't hear the details the artists intended for you to hear
- Cheap shit has bad build quality, etc
There's a good reason Sennheisers just don't break for decades
Like, there's "budget", for saving your money by buying something cheap but shit, but there's also budget where you buy something actually good yet cheap
Those typical walmart 5$ keyboads and mouses are "budget"

I just hate needing one more device I have to remember to charge with wireless buds ;_;

wheat plume
Yeah I doubt those Panasonic's sure that great
cursive summit
AralSea, can't you just get something that people are advising you to buy?
Instead of "I'll buy this because I think they will sound good"
How is that not wasting your money instead of getting something actually alright?
Like, listen to papa Crin at least
List's a bit outdated but it's still relevant
Get something actually good that is recognised by people
Value rating of 3 stars = exceptional product
Even 2 stars are great products
Cause the guy has a good track record and only signs his name on products he works on himself and knows are good?
None of the projects he has ever touched were ever slammed
Crinacle x 7hz salnotes are like one of the best sub-50$ buds
And that's not his opinion but most peoples
Guy started off as a reviewer, went on to actually work with manufacturers himself to create good audio products
I listened to his advice multiple times and not once was I ever "damn he lied"
Actually speaks the truth this lad
Ngl K702 I only bought cause he reviewed it 3 stars and I've been maining these cans for the past 3 years or so
coarse cloak
LOL
cursive summit
LOL
It's true though the brother doesn't react to any footsteps
I have to shout into the mic "BEHIND YOU LAD"
I see Crinacle is still not uploading, and still doesn't want to review Moondrop Blessing3's
Still unsure if I ever upgrade from K702s do I get the R70xs or Blessing3s
coarse cloak
It's worth it as long as you're not spending too much
cursive summit
Ngl I never really wanted to upsell him on anything
Like, 20$ Chus are good enough for most
If you want the really good shit get 80$ Hexas
No need to go above 100$
Brother just doesn't listen 😭
Fuck, hexas are rather big
Comfortable though
But rather big
Chus are fine
Like, nothing really much wrong with it for 20$
Cause these actually are really good?
10e panasonics won't compare to Chus I can bet on that
You can always get the ear dildos
ER2SE's or ER2XR's
I mean they are called ear penetrators, but they do sound to most people rather incredibly good
Headphone levels of good
And still usually sub-100$
If a reviewer is good, they are bearable
Could never ignore GamersNexus reviews

Anyways I am getting sent to the kitchen to make food rn so quickly
Aral, in terms of pricing my advice would be
Chu -> Salnotes -> Truthear Zero -> Hexa
In terms of pricing ascending
Those are always good picks for "good sounding IEMs"
Can get most of em off amazon
I recommend Hexas as I own them and I like em
Do you regret the wooting purchase?
I am trying to sell you something that I know you won't regret and it won't be breaking your bank either
Eh at least soundium has 30 day money back guarantee
If it sounds shit get rid of it

tbh being tall is more of a curse than anything
can barely move around in some houses or vehicles without the risk of banging your head into things if you're not paying attention
not to mention you won't fit in a lot of cars

also the back pain

Can't say they are worth it at that price
Lol Moondrop Jius are cheaper
And that's a Chu upgrade with DSP
Amazon says July 13th for Jius and 8th July for Chus
Ngl I'd get Jius
Only caveat, if it is a caveat, is that Jius are USB-C and don't have an aux
But most PCs nowadays have at least one USB-C port
Man I hate using that word, aux
It's a damn 3.5mm
Most people call it the 3.5mm jack/port
Why aux
reef patrol
Because not all aux ports are 3.5mm
cursive summit
Like any of these are called "AUX"
But they are not interchangeable by any means

You see. Back in the day these ports were used as an auxiliary, not primarily output.
