Mi mix 2 is expensive
wheat plume
I was saving up for the Mix 3 but I didnt get that cause adding on import fee would make it cost like 250 euro more
wait, no the phone was 120 more so 300 more ;-;

pale sigil
No u

yes
but the docs on them are funny
lets see if i can find that sheet again

recaptcha is quite good
compared to others
also there is v3 coming out
doing everything silent
@proud nacelle take a look at http://2captcha.com
or deathbycaptcha
never had lag issues with it
also the audio one
keeps bots away quite good
as after a while it gets blocked
so on a big scale buster doesnt work
useless you have like 3 billion proxies
fair gull
or an ai that can solve em
unique schooner
@fair gull an AI takes time
fair gull
not if it runs on a quantum computer
unique schooner
you could also say OCR can break the "normal" captchas
duh who owns a quantum computer
fair gull
uh microsoft and google
crimson wigeon
Well those reCAPTCHAs that challenge you are also used for training AI
crimson wigeon
I member back in the day when it was text only I sometimes just typed whatever because it only wanted one word right (usually the more scrambled one)
unique schooner
cause google flags ips and force you to fill alot more "images"
@crimson wigeon correct 4chan made a big raid about it and replaced it with nigger or fuck

And I bet even now clicking on traffic lights and shit is definitely for training their self driving cars

THEY'RE USING US
unique schooner
think about a world without google
at the end we can use there products for free
crimson wigeon
Yeah maybe we would all be using Yahoo instead
crimson wigeon
But hey they care about our privacy! Even letting us set our data to auto delete!
unique schooner
well they are kinda forced for that
atleast in the EU
google is also a major changer for antivirus companies
if you dont know virustotal is from google
the pretty much only company what can keep up with antivirus stuff "on there own" is microsoft
take a look at https://www.microsoft.com/security/blog/2018/02/14/how-artificial-intelligence-stopped-an-emotet-outbreak/
do note :
windows defender is in my opinion the strongest right now
they have a hugh sample set as its pre installed with windows 10
and they have alot of resources to analyze "unkown" files very quick with a good model
we used to have kaspersky endpoint at work
and now most of our clients just run on the free windows defender
kaspersky took too long to update the databases
and even then the detection rate was horrible
and it already broke some stuff 2-3 times

the new teamviewer plans are such a scam
you cant buy "lifetime" anymore
and they always want to talk you over
to switch ur lifetime one to a sub one
latent mural
should I pay 160€ to downgrade?
pale sigil
google bragged about privacy
Also that's cheaper than what it was supposed to be lol
I hate teamviewer now
Latency, image quality etc innit

Welp vnc has got a lot better than it was a few years ago
Is there no way to have it separate screens like tv

fickle ore
anyone used thermal Grizzly Kryonaut?
fickle ore
thx
https://www.coollaboratory.com/product/coollaboratory-liquid-metalpad/ pretty interesting too
ya graphite pad from thermal grizzly
ashen spindle
paste is still better, but if you swap components a lot it's much easier to swap
fair gull
tbh pads are more smth for quick fix but not a permanent soluction
fickle ore
aye
latent mural
the padss are good as a permanent solution
but perform worse than paste
but longer
fickle ore
I'm either gonna use kryonaut or just Liquid Metal
depends on the ryzen 2 IHS I guess
latent mural
liquid metal between cooelr and ihs is not worth
fickle ore
copper heatsink I need too
latent mural
get kryonaut
fickle ore
what do you mean not worth? How much difference?
latent mural
not a lot
fair gull
ur temps with pads will also be kinda crap
tbh
id say a year or 2
depending on the temps you actually pull
latent mural
more like 3-5
fickle ore
my friend doesnt even use paste lol
fair gull
idk i replace mine every 2 years
fickle ore
but he doesnt OC
latent mural
depends heavily on paste though
liquid metal usually doesn't last as long
wat
you have to use something
fickle ore
naah
latent mural
doesn't matter if he ocs
fickle ore
its fine
fair gull
he uses mustard
latent mural
what does he have?
fickle ore
I ran my AMD cpu without paste
latent mural
wtf
fickle ore
6 cores
fair gull
how does one use such a cpu without any thermal compound
fickle ore
ive told him couple times he doesnt care so I won't either
fair gull
the IHS is never flat enough for that
latent mural
you won't get good enough contact
fickle ore
think i'll prob get custom IHS + kryonaut
fair gull
why a custom IHS with ryzen
fickle ore
larger surface area
fair gull
arent ryzen IHS solder to the die?
fair gull
completely irrelevant if the die is larger or not
fair gull
then go with LN2
fair gull
idk why anyone would want to modify the ryzen cpus except maybe lapping the IHS
fickle ore
for fun I guess
latent mural
you loose temps
fair gull
gl with 0 improvements
fickle ore
its a hobby
latent mural
you'd have to resolder to even keep temps
fair gull
^
fickle ore
ik
ashen spindle
just sanding the ihs should bring the most there
fair gull
lapping the IHS and just using good thermal paste and a good cooling solution will get way more perf than fucking up the entire cpu
fickle ore
yeah thats another thing I need to do
fair gull
a custom ihs will improve the temps by a degree or 2 at max
altho id say it will prob make it worse
latent mural
nope
fair gull
i mean theres a reason soldered cpus only get delidded to put the cooling onto the die directly
latent mural
you'll loose temps with a custom ihs on ryzen
fair gull
and not to replace the ihs
latent mural
since you can't resolder
fair gull
even if he can resolder it will be worse than the factory job
fickle ore
yeah thats probably true, bah, scrapping that idea then. Need to think of something else
latent mural
except the 2200g and 2400g
fair gull
lets not talk about crappy cpus ok
latent mural
yea
latent mural
nope
fickle ore
right so that low end ryzen arent soldered thats why it improved couple c
fair gull
ya
u can liquid metal them etc
not sure if intel finally started soldering their IHS
latent mural
they did
fair gull
fickle ore
might LM, but would hate to reapply, atlho I understand it stops at some point becuase its done amalgamating into the nickelplating
fair gull
should have checked before buying my cpu but good
fickle ore
i know
latent mural
the 9980xe is just a 7980xe but soldered and a little oc'd btw
fickle ore
gotta make sure its copper
latent mural
like exactly the same
ashen spindle
really curious how the next intel cpus with more cores will deal with the heat, since they'll still be 14nm+++++++
fair gull
well 10nm
latent mural
you can't directly comapre lithography
ashen spindle
10nm and its basically the 7nm amd uses, yes yes the numbers are basically just marketing symbols now
latent mural
it's like saying "the 8350 is as fast as a 9900k, cause they both are 8 core 5ghz"
ashen spindle
what?
fickle ore
it is known
latent mural
yea
ashen spindle
you mean the fact that the numbers dont say anything? that's been known for years
latent mural
depends on measurements
ashen spindle
people talked about it when 14nm came out already
fair gull
the "7nm" just means that the smallest feature on the die is 7nm doesnt mean that everything is 7nm small
in fact many things can be way larger
fickle ore
dont fret. amd 7nm > intel 14nm+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
fair gull
comparison of all foundries
and their "nanometer" stuff
i think they use tsmc
not sure tho
ashen spindle
tsmc nc glofo stopped caring for 7nm for now bc business strategies
fair gull
oh no they use global
solar hinge
@wheat plume i indeed have a xiaomi mi 5 pro
fair gull
do they?
fickle ore
yyy
ashen spindle
yes glofo used to make them
fair gull
with 7nm
wheat plume
ooooh!
fair gull
anyway as you can see in the chart they are pmuch the same
fickle ore
what?
fair gull
2 quadro rtx 8000
a ryzen2
128gb of ddr4 ram
a fancy mobo
and then u all dump it into a plastic box for veggies
for optimal cooling
fickle ore
-.-
fair gull
i mean do u really want to spend hundreds of moneys on a case when u spend well over 10grand on the gpus alone?
the rtx 8000 costs
6500
eur
so you shouldnt waste money on a case
thats why i said veggie plastic basket thingy
fickle ore
my old case looks like someone bombed it
ashen spindle
just put it in a fridge 
fair gull
cut some holes in it
ez pc case
and transportable with 2 handles
plus stackable
if u decide to build a second one
fickle ore
fickle ore
Im wondering which motherboard maker has best support for BIOS releases?
my experience with asus has been shite
fair gull
bios releases?
fickle ore
first ones to stop updating bioses
fair gull
what do u mean by that
u know that... a bios usually only gets updated to fix bugs
except with like the current intel gen they updated bioses to implement 128gb ram
fickle ore
theres ton more stuff that could be updated, but some don't
fickle ore
had to custom my bios alot, because of things like intel MEI, sata, ethernet, cpu microcode updates etc
that was a hassle
it's more secure if the microcode is updated on the bios
fair gull
ime is a joke tbh
fickle ore
ME can't be disabled, tahts why u need to do custom bios to update fw for security updates..
its a hassle
fickle ore
good luck lol
fair gull
its literally a bios setting
wheat plume
o ok
fallow bison
Welcome back
wheat plume
yo
fallow bison
Yeet
fickle ore
yea what a hassle
dont think disabling ME is possible, i dunno what Tony really meant
intel cpu vulnerabilities are enough for me to switch
reef patrol
Are you a corporation with secrets to keep? 😄
fickle ore
always this same argument
ashen spindle
was there ever a case of specter/meltdown etc. being used for malware? just curious
reef patrol
I'm a gamer - I don't really have to care if my CPU technically has vulnerabilities. There are MUCH easier ways to grab my info...like voluntarily through Facebook 😄
latent mural
I don't have to keep secrets if I don't want my pc to be infected with malware
reef patrol
I'd rather have performance than crippling myself to close a door that isn't even remotely likely to be used.
latent mural
not that an av would really protect anything
fair gull
not to mention AMD cpus also have vulns
and they didnt even admit to it until the example code to abuse them released
intel was like "might be we have some"
amd was like "ya buy us we dont have any"
fickle ore
intel performance is compromized due to vulnerability patches
reef patrol
Nothing happened to them - They're still there.
fickle ore
windows 1903 improves taht performance a bit for intel
reef patrol
Not to mention ones in your BIOS through micropatches.
fair gull
i think if intel did tank 15% perf no one would use em anymore
fickle ore
ya, retpotline fixes
fair gull
weirdly people still do
fair gull
are we talking pentium 3?
latent mural
no?
fickle ore
sandybridge, ivy, nehalem etc
latent mural
those didn't have all the vulnerabilities
reef patrol
You can't have it all - Vulns like Spectre exist, because Intel (and AMD) designed their CPUs to predict behaviour - Which increases performance, but opens a security hole.
Close holes, reduce performamce boost.
fair gull
and in AMDs case put more cpu cores in to gain back
@proud nacelle thats a year old plus yes obv a quick path to get rid of said security vulns will be shit
but thats why they are quick... stop the leak then improve
fickle ore
my CPU without retpotline fix can do 150 FPS in OW, 220 with the fix
ashen spindle
put out garbage patches to reduce vulnerabilites, people complain it's not perfect, wait for them to not affect performance, people complain that there is an issue
reef patrol
Can't have fast AND good. 😅
ashen spindle
afaik there still hasn't really been malware abusing it and it's something so niche I dont see why it should affects anyones choice what to buy
fair gull
gl explainin that to someone in an office
reef patrol
Yeah... You don't need exploits like this, when your gear from Cisco has day 0s 😂
fickle ore
because you buy amd u dont even have to care about meltdown etc
fair gull
why do u think its still viable to use macro infections with word/excel
or infected zips/pdfs
reef patrol
Yeah... Hah
ashen spindle
but I want performance not better meltdown/spectre/whatever the new one was called security
reef patrol
You can't best stupidity out of lazy workers. 
fair gull
ok so i heard u are willingly going around and explaining someone to check file extensions etc
and how the entire thing works
nice
reef patrol
People will always ignore procedure to get work done faster.
fickle ore
@ashen spindle what do you mean?
ashen spindle
I'm pretty sure most people here don't really argue what cpu vendor to buy from from the position of a company?
so for personal use I dont really care about meltdown and such at all
fair gull
same
i go intel cause i didnt have bad experiences with them yet unlike amd
garbage temps despite a good cooler and TG paste
it randomly throttling
then they replaced it
still did the same
when the cpu throttles in idle at 30°C
fickle ore
intel and pigeon shite
fair gull
thats not a me problem
reef patrol
Intel - Because AMD haven't tied them for gaming, and I don't need 16 cores for rendering videos. 
reef patrol
That's just auto clocks.
fair gull
no like
my thermal probe read 30°C on the ihs (not inbetween cooler and ihs but on the ihs)
the cpu itself usually read like 255°C
when i checked in software
ashen spindle
255 
reef patrol
Sounds like a broken temp sensor. That can mess with auto clocks any day.
fair gull
right out of the box
latent mural
is your mobo broken?
ashen spindle
sounds more like a board issue than cpu?
fair gull
i replaced the mobo and even tried at work
the cpu at work worked fine
and showed the same temp as the probe
the cpus i personally owned both did not work
this obv could have been really bad luck
but
i still rather go with intel nowadays
yes
and then i tried my original mobo at work
with a cpu from my work pc
and that worked as expected
ok
both mobos did exactly the same with my cpus
and the work cpu
both showed 255°C on my cpus
and they both showed the right temp witht he work one
idk what exactly the work one was
but the cpu i got back then was an fx-6smthsmth
how was the mobo fucked if both did exactly the same
mobo 1 and mobo 2 showed 255 °C with the 2 cpus i owned
and both mobos showed the right temp with my work cpu
not hard to understand really
exactly
and thats why i dont trust amd
yes latest bios and all
like i did all the checks
psure the mobos still exist somewhere sold em on ebay
never got a complaint
the cpus got trashed
with intel i had pretty good luck in the silicon lottery
both overclock extremly well
fickle ore
I like the AMD processor design more, they put more stuff on the die, which is good
igpu is irrelevant to me
reef patrol
Intel are trying hard to remove those as well.
glad scroll
Kinda like when Nvidia made a gold graphics card

@wheat plume y tho

@glad scroll so are the quadro cards made out of gold then aswell?
quadro rtx 8000 is like 6.5k
glad scroll
@fair gull If I do recall the Titan V was a special promotion thing, like 30 years in the industry or something.
latent mural
No, it was gold to differentiate it from the silver gtx cards
Sibce they wanted to spilt the titan lineup from gaming
Same with the also golden rtx titan

Wireless and $50? I wouldn’t bother but if you’re looking for convenience just find something with good reviews on Amazon
pale sigil
For a friend
neat oriole
I’m not really familiar with wireless headphones besides the more higher end ones
Does it have to be wireless?
pale sigil
Ye idk why he even wants to bother
Earphones I can understand being wireless
But not headphones
ashen spindle
wireless headphones are amazing, but not at 50 bucks
neat oriole
Tell him every wireless headphone under $250 is probably trash and that the only ones worth getting are usually $350 and up
It’s a fools game trying to find a cheap good wireless headphone
Tell him to get these instead
I’m not even joking when I say these are the best closed back headphones under $200
These are $60
pale sigil
The ones you linked?
pale sigil
How's bass
neat oriole
Superb
pale sigil
If only they were on prime now
neat oriole
Literally destroys everything under $200
They’re way more expensive on amazon for some reason
They used to be really cheap and then some reviewer hyped them up a lot
So now the only place to get them cheap is the official website
neat oriole
Way smoother and less bright
pale sigil
Bright?
neat oriole
Wait you mean the M50x right?
pale sigil
Sorry ye
neat oriole
Yeah these are way better maybe except comfort since they are a bit smaller
pale sigil
Tbh they are big on me
neat oriole
And bright is a term that refers to excessive amounts of treble
neat oriole
I personally think the M50x is super overrated
neat oriole
Well that’s what happens with pleather
Or protein leather
But the CALs also have pleather pads
pale sigil
Can't detach the wire on these?
Got any suggestions for attachable nice that aren't overpriced?
Kinda sick of using my snowball
ashen spindle
like one to clip to your headphones instead of a desk mic?
neat oriole
No unfortunately the wires aren’t detachable
But as long as you don’t throw them around they should last you a long time
pale sigil
@ashen spindle ye
neat oriole
And for microphones
ashen spindle
dont think you'll find any good ones like that
pale sigil
Mod mic is to expensive
ashen spindle
you have an arm for your snowball? 
neat oriole
That’s the sacrifice you have to make for good audio
neat oriole
Well I mean the snowball isn’t that great but it’s probably better than most headset mic
ashen spindle
are we talking about the same snowball mic?
pale sigil
Yes I use an arm with it
ashen spindle
don't use one with it?
neat oriole
I’m just being elitist with my full on streamer level setup dw about it
pale sigil
It sounds god awful if you just use the normal legs
Fuck me
Like you can hear everything around me
ashen spindle
wait how does using different ways to hold it affect the quality?
neat oriole
Just change the mic pattern
pale sigil
Because it's right next to your mouth with s pop filter
And reduced audio
So it's not as sensitive
neat oriole
Just change it to cardioid
It should help with isolating background noise
Won’t help if you put it right next to your keyboard tho
neat oriole
Well you can’t get a good attachable mic for 25 quid that’s for sure
pale sigil
😦
neat oriole
Why not try the Samson Go
It’s small and you basically clip it to the top of the monitor
Sound quality is pretty decent too
fair gull
i heard the boom adapter is garbage
ashen spindle
the one big issue I have with that, is that it heavily depends on what case you use
I mean what is a "normal" case? grab some random tower and it could very well be something that has absolute garbage airflow
orchid rune
Why would u even go for an aio when u have noctua
Apart from looks, which for the most part is the point in custom loops too
wheat plume
Miui 10 is strange
The dark theme removes the numpad border lines
reef patrol
The O11 was basically designed for water cooling. Loops or big AIOs. 😅
Personally I don't recommend AIO for performance, but for noise and ease of installation.
ashen spindle
we dont even know what the case was that they used, just that they put 4 fans in the front which is kinda weird to do since that is not what a normal person would do when debating what cooler to get
it looks like the sidepanel is not completely closed and allows airflow through it too?
reef patrol
The noise can definitely be better
reef patrol
And given how crappy mounting can be on a lot of air coolers, it's a price I pay. Also most entry level AIOs match similarly priced air coolers.
ashen spindle
imo that video just isn't a good way to show if they are good or not
reef patrol
"Considerably" is a strong word.
Because sir coolers are bulky,can be s right nightmare to install, don't look as nice and don't perform significantly better in they price range.
unique schooner
im very certain a AIO is as bulky
and as much as a nightmare
probably even more nightmare to install
cause you have to mount the radiator too
reef patrol
AIOs aren't bulky where it matters. In the CPU area.
A LOT of sir coolers have really bad mounting brackets, which just plain suck to work with. Noctua has it absolutely right with their N15 coolers though
zenith mirage
Idk, I think air coolers are ugly compared to an AIO. And installing an AIO has been far easier in my experience than any tower air cooler
reef patrol
I'm on the opposite end there. AIOs are prettier, don't occupy space in the CPU area (which had s ton of cable connectors) and are just as- if not more quiet under heavy load
Not all. See NZXT's Kraken series. You can turn the logo off and only have the infinity mirror effect
You don't look at it, so of course you wouldn't.
You're going to have to, because RGB lighting is s premium feature.
At home I use AIOs, because they perform better in tight spaces than low profile air coolers. And my main rig has a custom loop, so that kind of counts as well.
solar hinge
i've bought an AIO in the past, and handed it on to someone else :p

crimson wigeon
But KDE (or Plasma as they prefer) like all other environments struggles with multimonitor setups, but I know it's because all the devs only use laptops that very rarely have another monitor connected
Which is why even on my big fat desktop PC it still references a "laptop screen" like seriously

I finally got my hands on a new monitor, now running a dual display setup and got an issue - my new display has higher display lag than my main monitor
Both run on DP cables, main monitor got 165 hz refresh rate while the secondary is at 75 hz
ashen spindle
you mean display lag but specs say same delay for both monitors?
harsh terrace
Both state they should be at 1 ms
One key factor might also be GSync on the 165 hz display
Well, disabling GSync didn't do shit
ashen spindle
try setting that to fullscreen only.. oh nvm then lol

Disabling FreeSync in new monitor's panel didn't do shit too xd
(note: I don't need gsync for my secondary screen)

try switching the cables and ports where they are connected

The issue isn't here when both are set to 60 hz
Perhaps it's just an illusion caused by various refresh rates
crimson wigeon
Having multiple monitors at different refresh rates can sadly cause some fuckery
ashen spindle
ye was going to ask, how did you determine that it has bigger delay
wheat plume
why cant I open nautilus as root? :/
crimson wigeon
Because you shouldn't do that
wheat plume
it let me before
ashen spindle
I have a 100hz/60hz setup and dont notice anything,. but 165/60 might create the illusion easier
wheat plume
nope
crimson wigeon
Or perhaps xhost + to allow literally anyone to connect to your X server
harsh terrace
We can say it is just an illusion, also switching ports has negative effect on my 165 hz monitor
(game can't reach 165 hz)
ashen spindle
huh
ashen spindle
is there even a good reaosn for such low polling rates nowadays? I know csgo used to like lower rates or smth but I dont know if that is still the case
latent mural
Ehh
To save battery on wireless mice, idk
500hz is good enough though
The cs pros are used to 500 usually
Most can't fepl the difference to 1000 though
They used ms mice with mlt04 sensors, oced to 500
Still the best laser sensor btw
ashen spindle
ye I meant 125, I know 500/1000 doesnt really matter anymore
latent mural
Yee
latent mural
There are slight noticeable differences, but if you feel those you can likely also dfferentiate a hero from a 3360 at low dpi
reef patrol
Or my OP6... Yikes
latent mural
and the normal 7 is just an upgraded 6t
reef patrol
Also not a fan of no 3,5mm jack. Still no good shared standard for BT, and most good headphones are cabled.
reef patrol
Don't really need that personally, but I can see the like.
latent mural
I legit would've killed my phone without it
was washing something off of my hand while I was tired and still was holding my phone
ashen spindle
glad apple supports older phones with OS updates for longer than most others, don't really like any of the current phones available 
latent mural
linus also made a video about that
with the right phone you have a similar experience on an android device
ashen spindle
with official updates or with work that I have to do and using some custom os?
latent mural
custom os
not much work with good devices
and you can know which are good while they are out
ashen spindle
ye but its still work for something I barely use
ashen spindle
still using my iPhone 6

If I replaced my phones battery, wireless charging shouldn't be affected right as its on the motherboard itself?
I know it's a retarded question
reef patrol
Correct.
plush summit
depends on if you leave the wireles charging coils in or not
pale sigil
Just don't wanna replace my phone when I could pay £7 to buy a new battery
harsh terrace
Okay it's time to fuck around with audio devices
Looking for a way to "merge" two audio devices, which are my monitors with built in speakers. Basically make an audio output device that uses left speaker of my left display and right speaker of my right display
Perhaps the unused speakers in the middle could be utilized as central channel
fair gull
some phones have the coil for it on the battery
@pale sigil
@harsh terrace mixer is what u need
that way u can mix stuff but ull have the problem of prob needing to build a custom cable anyway so u can literally just make one
or build a small curcuit board that splits it in the right channels
harsh terrace
No need for actual speakers, I'm only ever using a headset and monitor speakers are used only if somebody visits me (rarely)

Fallout Nuka Cola case on sale... tempting.
unique schooner
anyone used proxmox before and migrated a physical server to it?
reef patrol
Hence "on sale", Yama 😉
As in - Discounted, because they want to get rid of their last stock 😄
latent mural
oh, ok
fair gull
@unique schooner why would u use proxmox tbh
plus migrating a linux server from a to b is easy as long as both are the same architecture no matter if virtaul or physical
just copy the drive and boot
obv change fstab entries
and grub/syslinux
unique schooner

A lot of servers are Linux servers that run windows VPS servers
unique schooner
want to bamboozle me ?
latent mural
it's problematic if you have to use external software which doesn't run on linux
fair gull
so far most companies wanted smb shares, websites in house and some management software that was easily just a website
unique schooner
mate
its not
based on what i want
its based on what i have
its lovely that you can use linux
i cant
unique schooner
no i ment callum
fair gull
i did not translate it to your case
oh
well then i misunderstood but yes thats often the case
unique schooner
that im getting bamboozled ?

what even is overhead?

yes

latent mural
Beyerdynamics dt 770/990 + a mic
fallow bison
I like the arctis 7's
latent mural
7.1 headsets are a scam
fallow bison
dunno if its any good
latent mural
And ss headsets aren't that good
Wireless itself isn't that good
If you don't like the logitech fit you are out of luck
latent mural
It's not that good because audio quality is worse
fallow bison
Right
latent mural
And the 2 somewhat viable options are bad
At least in comparison to wired headphones + a mic
fallow bison
i see, but i'd like to have it wireless
As for music ill use my speakers anyways
or my other headphones
these are mainly for gaming (basically forza only lol)
latent mural
There also is the manowar, but it is incredibly cheaply made
fallow bison
I hate wires basically
dont have a good way to get it to my pc
Just like that i dont have to take off my headphones if i need to get something when chatting
I mean im not really a gamer tbh
latent mural
Oh, ok
fallow bison
Im kinda into the steelseries thingy, but not sure if i'd prefer the arctis 7 over the 3 bluetooth edition
latent mural
There are also some from astro, but they are expensive af
Bt is shit for headphones
Tons of delay
latent mural
There are good bluetooth headphones, but I wouldn't rely on it being good
fallow bison
I think i might just cop the arctis 7's
I mean, the mic isnt that great
but its not worse than my current one either
fallow bison
+the chat - game volume wheel seems interesting
latent mural
Yea
fallow bison
Yeah its mainly the software indeed
latent mural
It has ome interesting mixing options
fair gull
@fallow bison i thought sound is irrelevant
so why are u bothering with sound signature then
fallow bison
Well yes, but i will listen to music soemtimes
Not that i'd really need the best quality, but wireless quality is better than razer's 'compressed' mid tone sound
fair gull
so basically u only have logitech and the manowar
fallow bison
ish yes
fair gull
build your own audio transmitter
fallow bison
ez
zenith mirage
barring stuffing every spare bit of space between the ear defenders and your head with foam
then nah that sounds fine
latent mural
Just get something like bose qc 35
zenith mirage
i suppose the other thing you could do is get those memory foam earbud tips so they have as snug a fit as possible
latent mural
You can get those for half price new in box on ebay
Just look for any with active noise cancellation
fallow bison
how much are you willing to spend?
00f yeah no noise cancelling then
i thought maybe some sony's, which arent perfect but are still quite affordable
Stay away from sennheiser's NC though its dogshit
unique schooner
i paid 120 for my bose qc35 II
unique schooner
@fallow bison i prefer the sh over the bose
latent mural
They were around that price new in box on ebay at that time
unique schooner
they got given away with a Huawei so you could get them cheap
fallow bison
i returned them because the only thing it did was introduce more static over the ambient sounds
fallow bison
mx 1000?
Not sure, can only find WH 1000's lol
359 is close to 75
I see
If you are willing to spend about 130 you should cop these though: Sony WF-1000X
For earbuds they have excellent NC, keep in mind that its no-where near headphone-level NC
they do look a bit dumb though
latent mural
I am also thinking of replacing my otg buds with something else
But i hate the idea of charging my headphones
fallow bison
They really are a good cop, and the soundquality is amazing for bluetooth
especially with AAC codec
They do run out quite quickly, like 3 hours on a charge, 3 charges per case
but who really wears earbuds for 3+ hours
just buy headphones at that point
True
latent mural
I meant charging them at all
Usually my buds are in my pocket when I am not using them
fallow bison
Its odd to begin with, but you'll end up charging them overnight every 2 days or so
I always have them with me
Case is small enough to fit in your pocket easily
latent mural
Also not sure what to get
I am thinking about wireless headphones
Since buds don't have good audio quality
fallow bison
Depends on how often / where you use them really
fallow bison
Wires in ears with ANC is mainly BS
unless its a well knwon brand like bose, which still isnt perfect
But indeed, you could get em and return em if its shit
Difficult to say, if youre looking for ACN, then no
unique schooner
well bose isnt that great when it comes to quality
fallow bison
most will just bring a lot of static
Agreed
But thats basically just testing and returning
fair gull
just use the anc of android pie
fallow bison
In ear fit is very difficult to see from a website / gather from a review
fair gull
fallow bison
maybe third party tips
