used market got fucked in 2020 with the massive surge in demand

now that it's kinda back to normal demand

people refuse to "sell at a loss"

quite similar to the housing market

got BreakingBadReference homes nearby schools selling for 800 grand

[copper lake]

ah the i cant make a profit so i will continue to not make any money at all method

[lilac bear]

yeah the way pretty much everyone adopted in 2020

Linus and his goons are shitty capitalists, here's plenty of proof in one video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTHd0DsoQDE

[gilded quest]

Mmm k

[main bridge]

Look at it if you want evidence lol

[shut lichen]

[main bridge]

So employees being treated horribly and corporate practices aren't an issue to you?

[lilac bear]

you showed me my wrong ways and from now on I will hate Linus and his greedy capitalism
thank you for showing me the light
you changed my life
I will forever be in your debt

[gilded quest]

shitty capitalists
What? A for profit company is run by capitalists?

[shut lichen]

you should really check the sources

[main bridge]

No. Look at the video.

[lilac bear]

dammit no one will read my comment now

[gilded quest]

No

[main bridge]

I have, and that's how I lead to that conclusion.

Also, his apology before is just corporate rhetoric when he only apologised for being caught.

[restive lion]

Cool, so anyways

[shut lichen]

spoiler: there are none
clickbait video, made very late based on some drama from august

[main bridge]

If he was really sorry for treating at least one employee horribly and doing anti-consumer practices, he would've apologised before being caught.

[restive lion]

We truly don't care

[vapid zephyr]

Hahaha this video
'From going to a $100,000,000 Empire to losing 100,000 Subscribers within a week'

Yes, because the less than 1% of subs he lost are a big downfall to him

That doesn't make the content suddenly not entertaining?

[lilac bear]

basically this

[vapid zephyr]

What a joke hahahaha

[main bridge]

True that's exaggerated, but this Youtuber's not wrong about the controversies he did.

[lilac bear]

what controveries

[shut lichen]

he literally is wrong though

[main bridge]

What I said.

[lilac bear]

Madison? LMAO

[main bridge]

Yeah, she was treated fucking horribly.

[vapid zephyr]

That guy can kiss my ass, all he was doing is riding on the whole drama kek

[main bridge]

True but its still a good source of information for the controversies lol

[shut lichen]

even if her claims are true, she didn't even say that linus did this?

[vapid zephyr]

Since there's no proof of any of these allegations, I personally treat it as if it didn't happen

[vapid zephyr]

No, it literally isn't

[main bridge]

Or watch Nexis if you don't believe that video.

[shut lichen]

you are so fucking late on this topic, and clearly know absolutely nothing about it

[main bridge]

Though, have fun defending a piece of shit.

[lilac bear]

so basically Madison (who has no real proof so far and could be a drama queen)
and Linus wants to make money because he runs a business and has workers to pay

[main bridge]

I don't care.

[shut lichen]

clueless mf

[vapid zephyr]

Nah, I was one of the people who were against him when the drama was happening

I still am and I basically foresaw what would happen

But like

There's zero proof of the Madison bullshit

[lilac bear]

same here but basically just for the QC issues on the "stats" for a "million dollar lab"

[vapid zephyr]

The other shit apparently got figured out and we have no proof of it not happening

[lilac bear]

like he made such a big deal about accurate data then proceeds have no quality check on said data lmfao

[vapid zephyr]

He's dipped anyway, he let himself get clickbaited by some stupid hyperide video

Clearly also has no idea what he's talking about so idc

[shut lichen]

important note, there was quality checks... humans just human sometimes, so it needed extra to make sure the right stuff actually made it into the video lol

[lilac bear]

hope to god Isaac doesn't want to get paid for his job

that would be greedy capitalism

[lilac bear]

ah so the persistent time crunch issue

[visual fern]

[shut lichen]

not quite raid shadow legends, but definitely in the same category

[lilac bear]

talk about "greed"

dude has a sponsor in the middle of a video against greed 😭

[vapid zephyr]

Raid Shadow Legends is a joke anyway

[lilac bear]

how hypocritical can you get

[vapid zephyr]

They usually go to smaller creators because they only have to pay them like a grand for them to be happy

[lilac bear]

true

[shut lichen]

a shit sponsor*

no problem with an actual, normal sponsor spot

[lilac bear]

Mr Beast recently talked about how theres an issue getting sponsors because in order to be fairly compensated the sponsor would run out of budget before meeting requirements

[vapid zephyr]

I know

[shut lichen]

[lilac bear]

it just crazy to me

[vapid zephyr]

He's getting double the views of the super bowl with almost every video, that's to be expected

[lilac bear]

how huge Mr Beast is

[shut lichen]

they should talk to dbrand

[lilac bear]

but DBrand needs more illuminati PCs

[vapid zephyr]

dbrand would have to sell their company to be even considered for a 10 second spot in a Mr Beast video, that ain't happening

[shut lichen]

lol

[long briar]

no?

[indigo plume]

why does every video about headphones in gaming talk about compeitive gaming

and not like immersive kinda headphones

[vapid zephyr]

Because that's what their audience is very likely to be interested in

[lilac bear]

^^^

[long briar]

why? dbrand when collaborating for a sponsor spot has two types: the normal type and the wtf type

[indigo plume]

not everyone plays that shit

[long briar]

many of dbrand's sponsor spots do not even showcase their own product

[opal thunder]

What's the most insane Black Friday deal you guys have seen?

[long briar]

your mom for free

[vapid zephyr]

I don't think you understand the difference between a collab and a sponsor

[lilac bear]

if you want a gaming headset 9/10 times it is for competitive gaming

[indigo plume]

even channels that arent catered to compeitive gaming

[opal thunder]

Yo that's crazy, i found the exact same deal!

[long briar]

be more original with a comeback pls

[prime solstice]

Remember to visit brand.com/shortlinus

[indigo plume]

like theres no headphone videos about getting an immersive experince gaming

[vapid zephyr]

It's fairly irrelevant, even those have a fairly large audience that games in some way

[opal thunder]

Bro literally said "your mom" and wants me to be original... 😭

[long briar]

nope, dbrand is one of the few brands that do this. Fractal design used to back in like 2016. They literally make a sponsor spot a joke that fits in with the general theme

[vapid zephyr]

I don't care what dbrand does, it's not the same thing

[indigo plume]

esports ruined gaming

[vapid zephyr]

esports is the reason gaming exists in the first place

[long briar]

or if you want to argue the definition of what a collaboration is because you're like that (I forgot abt this part) then go for it

[vapid zephyr]

Either you have esports or you don't have gaming, you can't just delete esports

[long briar]

(edited) L bozo

[indigo plume]

after esports got popular everyone just trying to be the next pro player

[restive lion]

Your choices are "generic crap", "gaming" or "professional grade". Guess which one most people watching a YouTube video are going to go for

[vapid zephyr]

I have no clue who you are, but if you want to pretend to know me, you're better off blocked

[long briar]

Nono we established this in this chat like a year ago

[opal thunder]

Yeah I'm shit at typing so I spelt "said" as "saud."

[shut lichen]

because there are no features that make something good for "immersive gaming"
you just need good headphones, which most headsets aren't even that

[long briar]

you're a honest douchebag that says whatever is on ur mind

and that's OK

[vapid zephyr]

Uhuh
Regardless of that, considering your childish behavior I don't see why someone should discuss anything with you in the first place

You seem to be BSS but unpleasant

[restive lion]

You're both annoying, anyways moving on

[indigo plume]

cuz these 560s I was reccomened im regret getting

[long briar]

oh?

[indigo plume]

these are headphones just for good directional audio

[long briar]

lemme guess, no bass?

[indigo plume]

the bass sucks

[long briar]

called it

[restive lion]

Shoulda gotten some sennies

[vapid zephyr]

Ah yes, because that's gonna stop anything 👏

[long briar]

you're not used to unboosted bass

[opal thunder]

Fr, they came out of nowhere when I asked an unrelated question.

[indigo plume]

even my iems sound better

[long briar]

Because your iems have boosted bass

[vapid zephyr]

Mf gotta call people douchebags over honesty, tells me everything kek

[indigo plume]

than this head set

I have the truthear iems

[opal thunder]

660s are based

[long briar]

Nono that's word for word ages ago

[long briar]

660s dark af

[long briar]

point proven

[indigo plume]

the 560s are boring and bland sounding

[opal thunder]

all i know is that my friends 660s are better than the shit i have

[shut lichen]

no, it's headphones. a headset has a microphone.

[long briar]

truthear zero is Harman, hola is harman-ish. Both are preference curves that have boosted bass

[shut lichen]

major you issue

[indigo plume]

nitpicking

[shut lichen]

no. use terms properly.

[indigo plume]

idc

[restive lion]

What is this "I have musician IEMs and these consumer headphones don't sound as good"

[long briar]

H560s are analytical headphones

you don't buy them for sounding "fun"

[lilac bear]

huh what

[lilac bear]

YOU DID THOUGH

[indigo plume]

everyone trying to be the next pro player and sweats there ass off playing

[shut lichen]

buying open backs and expecting bass

[long briar]

and 660s are worse than the 600 and 6xx which are almost half the price (6xx is less than half)

[long briar]

philphone

Biodynas slap

[vapid zephyr]

Yes, that's quite literally the point of esport gaming

[vapid zephyr]

I guess stop playing esport games if that bothers you

[lilac bear]

"ew why are people recommending gaming headsets"
"stfu about the difference in headset and headphone"

[gilded quest]

Lmao

[indigo plume]

Im just going back to my artcis 7 headphones

[lilac bear]

do you want to be specific or not lady

[long briar]

you can have a fun and open backed headphone, hd560s is just not one of them

[lilac bear]

GOOD

[indigo plume]

560s aint it

[shut lichen]

[long briar]

your friend? but yea my condolences

[indigo plume]

560s waste of money

[lilac bear]

good

[gilded quest]

I've been using my HD598SE for 8 years and they're perfect

[long briar]

$500 for a 660 that isn't even better than 600, 6xx/650, r70x, or anything from hifiman dare I say

[indigo plume]

not getting senhieser headphones again

dissapointing

[long briar]

(I'm not a fan of hifimans but I would take em over the 660s any day)

[lilac bear]

what do you even want then

[opal thunder]

Yeah, lmao.

[lilac bear]

apparently headphone society has it out for you or something

[long briar]

well welcome to real "studio" headphones

[lilac bear]

oh god no the headset people are hunting you down

[shut lichen]

[vapid zephyr]

There's no reason not to if you have the budget and actually care about audio

[lilac bear]

you must buy a razer headset for gaming

[long briar]

inconvenience

Unfortunately

[shut lichen]

being disappointed because you went in with the entirely wrong expectations is hilarious

[indigo plume]

audio files said they would sound so much better

wrong

[lilac bear]

audio files

[gilded quest]

I'm not buying sennheisers again either
I'll just hoard new earpads for mine and keep them forever

[long briar]

you asked audiophiles not commoners

Audiophiles will give you something that is actually good not fun

which are two VERY different criteria

[indigo plume]

fun is good

[long briar]

No

[gilded quest]

No

[lilac bear]

No

[long briar]

Not necessarily

[indigo plume]

if its not fun to use why even use it mate

[gilded quest]

They're different

[indigo plume]

makes zero sense

[long briar]

because it's accurate? it's detailed?

[lilac bear]

your expectations are all over the place

[shut lichen]

good is fun, but fun is not necessarily good

[gilded quest]

Good is a bad word
Accurate is correct

[lilac bear]

do you want us to be specific or not

[indigo plume]

who decides what is accurate

[lilac bear]

well headset and headphone are two different terminologies and items

[long briar]

you're looking for headphone for enjoyment, others look for headphones for details or frequency response that follows a scientific target

[lilac bear]

like IEM and earbud

[shut lichen]

the things measuring what is expected vs what is actually coming out of the driver

[long briar]

People like Harman, or independent researchers

[indigo plume]

and also the 560s volume is low as fk

[shut lichen]

that is a skill/equipment issue.

[long briar]

fun fact: your ears amplify certain frequencies differently compared to others

[indigo plume]

?

[long briar]

volume is based on how much power your amp can deliver

[gilded quest]

Bruh what

[indigo plume]

I dont have an amp

[shut lichen]

they're not a basic bitch headphone, you need proper stuff to run them properly

[indigo plume]

I was told I dont need one

[gilded quest]

Actually why did you buy the 560s then

[long briar]

the headphones can probably play 130db+ spl without distorting

[gilded quest]

Back up

[long briar]

But it needs power to do that

[indigo plume]

like every mf said amp is a waste on those

[shut lichen]

because you don't, it just won't be powered properly if you don't have an amp

[long briar]

You're running them off onboard?

[indigo plume]

yeah

[gilded quest]

You bought what someone told you to buy instead of doing your own research and making and informed decision?

[lilac bear]

because they saw a reddit post that said they were good essentially

[gilded quest]

There's you're fuckin problem mate

[indigo plume]

even youtubers said not to buy one

[long briar]

actually 560s are fairly simple to drive as long as the amp can deliver the voltage it needs. Onboard may not do that but an Apple dongle will

[indigo plume]

and its a waste of money

[long briar]

like who?

[shut lichen]

and that apple dongle includes a better amp than most regular onboard things do lol

[long briar]

it's 160 bucks it's not even expensively lmao

[indigo plume]

said not to get one unless u get headset with higher ohmes

[long briar]

do you know why higher ohms can be an issue

do you know ohms law?

[gilded quest]

I prefer ohms guidelines

[shut lichen]

they definitely don't

[long briar]

Higher ohms, provided the amp can deliver enough voltage actually makes the headphones easier to drive

amplifiers can scale voltage far more efficiently than amperage

[indigo plume]

Yes im aware of that

[long briar]

so at a given sensitivity, higher ohms is easier to drive than lower

Again, provided the amp can deliver enough voltage

[indigo plume]

I took eletrical classes in collage and had to learn all about that shit mate

[long briar]

then how is it so hard to understand that headphones being quiet is an amplifier side issue

[gilded quest]

But you bought the first headphones that someone told you to

[indigo plume]

not true I watched videos and many ppl reccmened them

[long briar]

?

[long briar]

tf how are you learning that in college?

Thought this was like middle-high school stuff?

[vapid zephyr]

Not gonna lie, I didn't only hear the windows xp error notif, but I literally felt it coming out of your head

[long briar]

my brain errored out

I had to reset

[gilded quest]

It's like intro to electrical engineering courses

[long briar]

really. Interesting

[vapid zephyr]

I don't blame you considering the brainrot going on

[gilded quest]

Not in US public schools

[indigo plume]

I never took that stuff in public school

[vapid zephyr]

I didn't have it either and I went to a particularly expensive private school

Apparently it wasn't deemed relevant or something, idk

[gilded quest]

Middle school was mostly people fighting

[long briar]

I'm Canadian so I wouldn't know, I just remember doing stuff like calculating total resistances and stuff like that in High school?

[gilded quest]

Or distracting the teacher/class

[long briar]

I see.

[indigo plume]

im canadian too and I didnt learn that

[gilded quest]

Most kids in school are there to prevent as much learning from happening as possible and it's a real shame

[long briar]

OH nvm I also recently found out that Alberta's curriculum is the most advanced in all of Canada

[indigo plume]

not saying much

[long briar]

which would mean you probably live in BC

[indigo plume]

nope

[gilded quest]

In high school you at least had the option to self select into "I care" and "I'm required to be here" clases

[long briar]

nuclear physics in grade 12 😄

[opal thunder]

💀

[long briar]

or at least the basics of it

[indigo plume]

well either way im just selling these headphones

[long briar]

it's quite fun

[indigo plume]

and just going back to gaming headset

[opal thunder]

bros learning about the strong force in grade 12

[vapid zephyr]

We had it in 10th, but only because our physics teacher was particularly excited about it

It was scheduled to be taught around the end of 11th grade for us

[long briar]

yea our physics teach in gr12 was a W

[gilded quest]

My physics teacher was gone half the time

[shut lichen]

pretty much everything tech related I know was not from school
except learning audio stuff by fucking around with a decent amount of expensive equipment and using the internet
and the same thing with 3d printing

[long briar]

the guy was an engineer, then went full time hiking, then taught at MIT, then more hiking then became a hs teacher till retirement

[vapid zephyr]

Our physics teacher sarcastically insulted us every single time we got shit wrong

[indigo plume]

guess ill just buy some hyperx headset

[shut lichen]

[long briar]

sameeee

[indigo plume]

?

[gilded quest]

The physics teacher was also track, cross country, and soccer coach so he was out at least once a week

[indigo plume]

whats so funny

[shut lichen]

you, and your thinking.

[vapid zephyr]

There was plenty of times where the WW2 history enthusiast in class got called a 'literal Neanderthal rolling down the mountain to pick berries'

[indigo plume]

ur just being toxic

[long briar]

I'm stealing that line that's fucking gold

[shut lichen]

and I say thinking very generously, not much seems to actually be going on up there

[vapid zephyr]

Whatever the fuck that means, but it caused emotional damage nonetheless

[gilded quest]

My ap chem teacher just read off the PowerPoints

[indigo plume]

mfs love just calling ppl stupid in this server such a nice and welcoming server

[long briar]

Neanderthal refers to a previous "version" of human before we evolved again (or smth I don't remember) but basically it's a joke that their communications is about the same as monkeys

[vapid zephyr]

I mean if you're so open about it I can call you stupid all the time

[shut lichen]

you bought bloody open back neutral headphones because they were recommended to you
you don't drive them properly
you complain about the lack of boosted bass
you then blame it on the people that recommended it to you
and you say you won't buy sennheisers again because of this?

[lilac bear]

it is

[gilded quest]

I called them lazy, not stupid

[vapid zephyr]

I know wtf Neanderthals are lmfao

[lilac bear]

you learn about Ohms and Voltage and Resistance, etc in like 10th grade

[gilded quest]

Neanderthals are people from the Netherlands, right?

[vapid zephyr]

I never even heard of Ohms until like, two years after I graduated school lmao

[gilded quest]

I wish

[long briar]

games like Poetry for Neanderthals is like playing Taboo but you can only use single syllable words, again poking fun at a civilization of simplistic communications

so calling someone a Neanderthal means that they can't communicate for shit

[vapid zephyr]

I know

[long briar]

ye so it's comedy gold

[indigo plume]

well clearnly I dont like open back shits and from what I see thats most of senhisers stock

so i can avoid their headphones

[long briar]

Well Senn only has like 6 good headphones in the past 30 years

you seem like the kind of guy who would really enjoy DT770s

[indigo plume]

open back headphones sounds boring from what ppl are saying that all have week bass

[shut lichen]

you're very blind then

[long briar]

even tho I find them to be unbearably sibilant

[gilded quest]

Not everyone wants heavy bass

[long briar]

if bass is all you think about you're buying the wrong headphone

[gilded quest]

I find bass to be fatiguing and muddying to the sound

[vapid zephyr]

I hate bass lmao

[indigo plume]

I dont need heavy bass just its like non existant on 560s

[long briar]

You need to find something with a proper bass tuck

[indigo plume]

I can bearly even hear the bass

[long briar]

and bleed no further than 300hz

[gilded quest]

My HD598 are fine, and importantly, very comfortable

[long briar]

bass is supposed to be present, not overpowering

[indigo plume]

when im watching movies playing immpersive games I like bass

[shut lichen]

my HD569s are bassy enough for their use... if I want more I turn my actual system on and rattle the house

[long briar]

it's not more or less important than any other part of a song

[vapid zephyr]

I literally have a Realtek equalizer preset in that washes out the bass kek

[long briar]

ye 598s are really comfy

same as the 599

[indigo plume]

im just gunna avoid audiophile gear

[long briar]

560s were a little more hollow but yea

[long briar]

kek

[indigo plume]

560s just feel lifeless

[long briar]

because they are

they're very analytical, their frequency response reflects that

[gilded quest]

It's as if audio is highly subjective

[indigo plume]

well I dont want analytical

[gilded quest]

Then why did you buy them

[shut lichen]

you know what's great about something like the HD560?
you can easily EQ them

[vapid zephyr]

Because he doesn't know what that means

[shut lichen]

go get something that can drive them properly, then go EQ in some bass

[long briar]

560s

dt770 (notice bass is boosted to shit and back)

[indigo plume]

I didnt know what that even meant before that

[gilded quest]

You should definitely sell them
Just do some more research before you buy something else

[indigo plume]

like how am I suppose to tell what soming sounds like before I buy them

[long briar]

at least 80ohm doesn't have as much of a hole in the bass as the 250 ohm

[shut lichen]

at an absolute minimum, every dankpods headphone video explains the very basics of how these graphs work

[lilac bear]

damn you guys went the school in the hood

[indigo plume]

those charts mean nothing to me lol

[lilac bear]

the chart

oh

[gilded quest]

Naw it was in rich white people suburbs

[long briar]

yea dankpods has bad takes but he IS fairly entertaining and can get you started

[long briar]

I grew up in a neighborhood that at one point was 60% seniors, according to a census

Pretty sure my home state is like bottom 5 for public education funding

[lilac bear]

yeah thats what I was actually thinking

[indigo plume]

i live in worst provice ontario

[gilded quest]

Pretty sure Linus grew up in the boonies

[long briar]

I also know a guy who hosted Linus' son's birthday party a while Ago

[lilac bear]

did you check any reviews of Ontario before you moved there

[long briar]

it's wild

[indigo plume]

I spawned here

[long briar]

where in ontario

[vapid zephyr]

Nah, modern education systems for some reason just teach a lot of shit that isn't at all relevant & doesn't teach what is relevant

[long briar]

cause Ontario is huge

[indigo plume]

not saying

[lilac bear]

before spawning*

[indigo plume]

all of ontario is shit

[gilded quest]

Florida?

[long briar]

some places are pretty nice, others are just expensive

[indigo plume]

ontario is a shithole

[long briar]

nono it's in Alberta

[gilded quest]

My condolences

[indigo plume]

ontario is wannabe usa

[long briar]

If Houston and Texas had a baby in Canada

[gilded quest]

How fucking Canadian are you

[long briar]

It's not bad

very empty

[gilded quest]

Houston is PART of Texas

[restive lion]

Alberta is certainly a place

[long briar]

wait shit

[gilded quest]

[long briar]

(I didn't pay attention in american geography)

[indigo plume]

alberta better than ontario

[long briar]

Meh

it's different for sure, don't know if y'all like our winters tho

[gilded quest]

You really should for the inevitable assimilation

[long briar]

I'll move back to China for that

[indigo plume]

im just gunna get HyperX Cloud III

[long briar]

Alberta is just... really empty

[restive lion]

America and Canada are both set to explode around the same time so it won't matter anyways

[long briar]

You can drive on a 100kmh highway and legit see no cars for a solid 5 minutes

[lilac bear]

[gilded quest]

Sounds like nevada

[long briar]

my bad

[long briar]

but cold yes

it's also really flat

[lilac bear]

nah I am American so lmao

[long briar]

until you hit the rockies but that's diff

[lilac bear]

we require to know the details of every state before graduation

[long briar]

Oh

Uhh
We totally did too

Mhm

[long briar]

yea I don't remember the capitals to half the provinces

[restive lion]

Meanwhile most people can't tell you where the fuck nunavut is

[long briar]

Nah I'm having none of it

[indigo plume]

I need base in my audio

[long briar]

Now point out where's iqaluit

the HD560S do have bass
the things you're used to just have massively boosted bass

[indigo plume]

well Im not getting another open back headset

[long briar]

L bozo

[lilac bear]

headphone*

[long briar]

nah but yea I swear man

[gilded quest]

There's plenty of closed back, high bass options out there

[indigo plume]

since what im read is they ahve weak bass

[lilac bear]

still need to teach about the difference between headset and headphone

[long briar]

I live in Edmonton, if I drive down to Calgary there's times I can probably see 50km ahead of me on a good day

[shut lichen]

#public-chat message
#public-chat message

[long briar]

this province is literally flat

[night heron]

you can boost the bass on open backs if they dont have a shitload of distortion

[restive lion]

Sounds incredibly boring

[lilac bear]

they don't want to buy an AMP

[restive lion]

Try driving the coqihalla

[shut lichen]

sucks to be them then

[long briar]

you can get an 8 dollar apple dongle and be done with it

[restive lion]

Now THATS a fun time

[indigo plume]

im not spending 100 dollars on a amp

[lilac bear]

exactly 😭

[indigo plume]

for headphones I dont like

[long briar]

eight... EIGHT

[shut lichen]

you must be blind, istg

[shut lichen]

yep, absolutely blind

[indigo plume]

I dont buy apple products

[lilac bear]

ONG

[gilded quest]

Spend $100 on a dac/amp combo

[shut lichen]

jfc

[long briar]

IT'S FUCKING MADE BY (cirrus) FUCK

ok well it's made by apple but it uses a cirrus chip

[indigo plume]

I havent bought apple products in like 5 years aint about to start now

[median idol]

I mean it's not like it was back in the 80s

[long briar]

fine then spend 12 and get a cx31993

[gilded quest]

Damn I only started buying apple 5 years ago

[lilac bear]

its a single ass tiny dongle that is less than 10 dollars

[long briar]

https://tenor.com/view/delish-harvest-punch-cheers-apple-orange-gif-9782899

cheers bud

[indigo plume]

and doubt it would make a difference

for the bass

[lilac bear]

[long briar]

ok buddy

[indigo plume]

its not like its the 650s or somthing where its like 250 ohms

[long briar]

ohms. doesn't. matter.

[shut lichen]

oh my fucking god you really are blind

[long briar]

Actually yes it does but not for you

there's damping factor to calculate as well but

[indigo plume]

like every post I read about these headphones said u dont need them

[long briar]

YOU FUCKING GOOMBA LOOKIN ASS

wait oops

[gilded quest]

Wat

[median idol]

And at least we're not NYC, LA, or SanFran

[long briar]

I meant to insult your statement not you

[lilac bear]

thats offensive to Goombas

[shut lichen]

"then go EQ in some bass" the 2nd part of my message where I said to get something to drive it properly

[gilded quest]

Surprised warship didn't yeet the all caps

[wispy marsh]

I'm buying an AirPods Max next week

[long briar]

My condolences

[indigo plume]

Idk how to eq

[gilded quest]

Rip

[indigo plume]

these headphones just aint for me

[gilded quest]

Like they're great and all

[long briar]

you made your point an hour ago shut up

[royal pivot]

They are actually so great

[gilded quest]

But painful to be buying lightning devices at this point

[long briar]

if you're looking for validation you're not gonna get it

[indigo plume]

no im not

[royal pivot]

Your going to enjoy them so much

[long briar]

then shut. up.

[wispy marsh]

jk. I just got a Lexar nm790 2tb and a Quest2, ain't spending more this month

[gilded quest]

Lmao

[indigo plume]

yall the ones telling me all these fixes to try to make them work

[shut lichen]

literally everything needs an amp. thats how this shit works.
it's just that the amp in whatever you use to power them currently is rubbish.
a basic dongle (like the apple one) for basically no money at all will power them better.
and a full on desktop dac/amp combo will run pretty much any headphones you'd ever want to buy, but you don't need this, you just need something like the apple dongle.

[vapid zephyr]

And they've realized that you're dense enough to either not get it or just plain refusing to even consider it, hence them telling you to shut up

[royal pivot]

Buy it

[shut lichen]

the amount you keep bringing it up in recent times says otherwise.

[royal pivot]

Now

[long briar]

eqapo isn't even hard to use either

bros literally Helen Keller v2

[indigo plume]

I want headphones that are like the sound when u go the theaters where u can almost feel the sound bruv

[digital prairie]

Ayy, upgraded the 970 in my jellyfin server to a 1660 super and now all my HEVC HDR content plays.

[night heron]

thats not rly possible

[indigo plume]

but that prob impossible since it a theater vs headphones

[gilded quest]

Now do a 4090 🤪

[wispy marsh]

Hifiman edition xs

[long briar]

alright go get a sub and some lsr305

[wispy marsh]

With a bassy dacamp

[night heron]

bro is spreading misinformation

[indigo plume]

arent those like 600 dollars

[digital prairie]

1660 super = 4090 for hardware encoding/decoding of h265 content for all rational purposes

[vapid zephyr]

Well it is possible
You'll just hear it for about two and maybe a quarter seconds before going deaf

[long briar]

For that I'd rather go for a biodyna or some sort

[gilded quest]

Okay but what about irrational purposes

[wispy marsh]

[indigo plume]

ive been told to buy dt990s

before

[long briar]

https://tenor.com/view/pi-day-gif-20743730

[wispy marsh]

Only 600

[digital prairie]

I won't put in a 4090 without sli

[night heron]

youre being given so much bad advice from all directions

[long briar]

have fun not hating it

[gilded quest]

Fair

[indigo plume]

?

[wispy marsh]

Honestly if you don't have a high budget

I heard hd650/6xx are pretty nice

Though they're corsair-partnered

[night heron]

6xx is cool but it cant do loud bass

[long briar]

what

[indigo plume]

I already have 560s

[long briar]

corsair?

[indigo plume]

I dont like them

[night heron]

it's like -18db at 20hz compared to the harman target and still has a ton of bass distortion at that level

[wispy marsh]

Corsair X Sennheiser hd 6XX

[lilac bear]

oh my god

[long briar]

you mean massdrop?

[wispy marsh]

CORSAIR

[long briar]

that's the issue, I can't hear 20hz

[indigo plume]

I dont want boring headphone

[wispy marsh]

No more Drop

[night heron]

download equalizerapo and put a bass shelf on them

[indigo plume]

I want some bassy headset

[night heron]

this will probably make you not hate them

[vapid zephyr]

I guess buy some Chinesium $20 headphones, those usually blast your ears off

[long briar]

oh this is tragic

[fierce moth]

ffs i need to buy a new build plate for my 3d printer

[long briar]

it's still drop tho

[indigo plume]

I wouldnt know how to work that unless theres like presets

[long briar]

same way it's still Linus Tech Tips even tho Linus isn't the ceo

[night heron]

its very simple i have no doubt you could do it

[wispy marsh]

You're like the guy who uses internet explorer and tells us Sam Altman got fired in 2033

[indigo plume]

like I tried eqing my mic and ending up making it sounding terrible lmao

eith the elgato softwear

[long briar]

I've taught 7 year olds how to turn a knob that turns up bass, you got this

[night heron]

i can give you the exact filter settings that youd need

[wispy marsh]

When he got fired last week

[long briar]

I'm not american I can't buy from drop without outrageous fees 😭

[indigo plume]

also dont that mean I will have to have the program open at all times

to get the sound

[long briar]

no it modifies windows sound settings

[night heron]

nah

[wispy marsh]

哈

[night heron]

it uses less than 0.0% of one cpu core and it doesnt need to be open

[wispy marsh]

A lot of my items are designed in america and made in china

[royal pivot]

How

[vapid zephyr]

That's of a single program, not the entire system 🤦

[long briar]

去你妈

[wispy marsh]

Cuz you're monitoring it when the process is blocked and you're only monitoring one process

[shut lichen]

it is still drop, its still the same company, corsair just own them.

[long briar]

yea

[wispy marsh]

The monitoring process takes up cpu resources too

[lilac bear]

it's a single tiny application that only changes some of the EQ of the audio

it could be 0.09% for what we know too

[wispy marsh]

Don't bother calculating

[indigo plume]

my friend told me the dt 990 pro or dt 900x pro are best for gaming rn

[night heron]

it just puts a filter on the signal being sent to your headphones man it's an extremely simple program

[shut lichen]

definitely good that corsair got them and not some potentually dodgy investor lol

[wispy marsh]

I mean they look really pretty actually but no

[wispy marsh]

Even if Terran helped make that purchase?

[shut lichen]

what?

And how are people still miss-spelling terren lol

[long briar]

like yum yum

[wispy marsh]

LTT acquires drop from corsair following Tong's departure

[long briar]

it's beautiful

[lilac bear]

NO OPEN BACK

[wispy marsh]

Cuz we had Taran

And now we have Terren

[long briar]

it also costs 3k

[night heron]

looks awesome but abyss is a horrendous headphone manufacturer

[long briar]

yea

[lilac bear]

if Reddit said it was good she would probably buy it anyway

[night heron]

i dont think they put literally ANY effort into tuning the sound to a target

[long briar]

nobody likes abyss headphones lmao

[night heron]

it's always so random and horrible

[long briar]

1266 didn't, Dianas are I believe

[low rain]

I’m stupid asf so I just gave my dad my login so he can make all my doctor appointments for me 😭

[long briar]

isn't it normally the other way around

or are you a literal child

[night heron]

you could probably dangle two drivers from your head with a piece of string and itd sound better than 1266

[long briar]

no that's what the 1266 is

ive used it with both

not sure if it prefer with or without

[night heron]

akg k371
audeze maxwell
dan clark aeon closed x

[lilac bear]

actually

[night heron]

i think you should try putting a bass shelf on your 560s before buying more headphones though

[lilac bear]

if you want EXTREME BASS

https://www.skullcandy.com/crusher-evo-wireless-headphones/

[indigo plume]

I dont want extreme bass I just want it to be more present

[long briar]

soooo eq

[indigo plume]

cuz rn the bass I can bearly hear it

[long briar]

eq.

[night heron]

closed backs are worse than open backs in every way other than if you absolutely need the noise isolation

[long briar]

I mean technically speaking closed backs are better in the winter because they also work as earmuffs

[night heron]

theyre far harder to tune and theyre subject to far more person to person variance than open backs are

[long briar]

(actually very relevant for me)

[night heron]

they could sound completely different on two different people

[indigo plume]

well to my ear they my artis 7 didnt sound that bad

[lilac bear]

canada moment

[night heron]

are you taking the red pill or the blue pill

[shut lichen]

you've been told the solution for this multiple times now. EQ it.

[indigo plume]

i cant eq rn Im on my laptop

im not turning on my pc to eq at 2 am

[long briar]

then eq on ur laptop (which probably has a better output than ur desktop)

[indigo plume]

my headphones are at my desk

[indigo plume]

cap

its a pretty new motherboard

[night heron]

idk kinda just depends

[lilac bear]

new doesn't mean it isn't Wish.com motherboard

[night heron]

the output on macbooks slaughters any motherboard

[indigo plume]

Ive never owned a macbook

[lilac bear]

audio isn't a thing that was invented in like 2011

[indigo plume]

and never will

[long briar]

ok

[long briar]

ur right, the caps on your motherboard are probably schite

[indigo plume]

I have an lenovo legion

at least you didn't say HP

ive never had a reason to get amac

apple to limmiting

idk I like the puncher sound from thes ear buds

I do most of my listening on Bluetooth 🤪

[indigo plume]

blue tooth sounds worse

[gilded quest]

For music yes

For podcasts, no

And I almost exclusively listen to podcasts these days

[plain oyster]

would a 12400f bottleneck a 3070?

[long briar]

I bet you couldn't tell the diff.

[night heron]

the current fastest supercomputer has 606,208 zen 3 cores lmao

[long briar]

Yes no maybe so depends what you're doing I don't know what you're are doing

[restive lion]

Depends how many channels you're running

[gilded quest]

You didn't specify a Bluetooth standard...

[indigo plume]

I mean from using my xm4s these iems deff sound better

[gilded quest]

My car sounds like shit on BT

[plain oyster]

well its for my friend and hes mainly going to play fps games like cod csgo and fortnite

[long briar]

utws is 2 channels, I don't think they'd be able to tell bt versions past 2 apart

[gilded quest]

BT 3 is noticeable

[long briar]

not to him I doubt it

[indigo plume]

thoses mfs are 100 dollars

yeah ill pass

[long briar]

looool\

[indigo plume]

I aint spending 100 dollars just to make heaphones bluetooth capable

[shut lichen]

they arent even for headphones

[indigo plume]

whatever earbuds

mf just nitpicks everything I say

[shut lichen]

like i said, use the correct terms for things.

[long briar]

iems*

[indigo plume]

its not that big of a deal

[long briar]

earbuds do not have silicone tips

[shut lichen]

[long briar]

it's like getting ur name wrong

[indigo plume]

same shit mate

idc if ppl get my name wrong

[shut lichen]

Headphones and iems are two entirely different things, you own both, and have been talking about both. Use the correct terms.

[indigo plume]

its not that deep

[steep girder]

Guys wtf I have a friend that I never catch without a tallboy of beer in hand. He literally spits up stomach acid non stop the entire times I hang with him. I tell him you cant keep doing this or at least use tums. He doesnt have any. I told him then at least eat like a tip of teaspoon baking soda and chase w water. He declines

[shut lichen]

using the wrong terms causes confusion, so yes it is that fucking deep.

[steep girder]

Is this an issue tech or AI will ever solve?

Can I just query chat gpt and in theory at one point the issue can be solved one day? Or is this something AI will never be able to help w no matter how smart it gets lol

[indigo plume]

I saw that shit to my friends all the time and shit and yall are only ones who get all worked up

[graceful burrow]

how is ai gonna help someone who's willfully stupid

[shut lichen]

why on earth would tech or ai solve an idiot's bad health decisions?

[indigo plume]

ive never seen mfs get so mad just cuz they said wrong name

[long briar]

yea y'all also don't know anything about audio gear

we're just being polite about ignorance

but when you come here to ask about something

[indigo plume]

"polite"

[long briar]

you accept that you're expected to be using at least the correct terms

[indigo plume]

hahaha

mfs in this server aint polite

[shut lichen]

we're not mad, we're telling you to use the correct terms so people in thr convo dont get confused when you go from talking about your headphones to your iems.

[indigo plume]

I get constatly dog piled in this server

[long briar]

maybe stop being so ignorant

[indigo plume]

but nah yall polite

[shut lichen]

because you're ignorant. This is entirely a you issue

[indigo plume]

theres ways to inform ppl without acting like a dickhead

[long briar]

like?

[shut lichen]

We already tried those ways with you previously.

[sudden bough]

[indigo plume]

whatever im done in here

[steep girder]

Bc honestly i dont need chatgpt to know that burping acid chronically will melt teeth eventually guaranteed. I also dont care whether or not bot thinks it exists as much as the physical molecule making up enamel. I really couldnt give a dang about asking it for recommendation and having bot talk dirty to me in response since half of its training was on 4chan trolls (or serious unironic people posting same shit because they are actual deviant). I just want to end acid reflux for beer I want to dedicate my life to solving this prob

[graceful burrow]

writing your diary here wont help with that lol

[steep girder]

I have a dream. In this dream no more do people burp up acid no matter how much L of hop water they consume per second

[golden talon]

wtf is bro yapping about

[steep girder]

Hashtag find the cure. ||Oh wait you just gotta not drink||

[shut lichen]

@steep girder what have you been smoking tonight?

[steep girder]

AI will never be able to replace humans completely.

[golden talon]

obviously

[steep girder]

But it does have the potential of killing us all lmao. Or perhaps we'll be the causor of our own demise

[indigo plume]

are u high

[shut lichen]

the only way it has the potential of killing anyone is if we give it the control over something that could

ai as we know it currently isnt even intelligent

it cant do shit

[steep girder]

I am forced to answer w no

Wait actually its legal to be high on weed here. Even recreationally. So long as you pay tax lol

[steep girder]

Wdym if its implemented into like s2a missle targetting system, it can decide to... what?

[sudden bough]

What. The “AI” people are moaning about isn’t even AI. It’s just fancy chat bots with good search

[shut lichen]

this is why the media is shit

[indigo plume]

Ai will continue to advance

[median idol]

https://tenor.com/view/always-has-been-among-us-astronaut-space-betrayal-gif-23836476

[indigo plume]

Ai is advancing pretty fast

[steep girder]

Artificial intelligence its called with intelligence referring to whatever we are. Artificial because we made it and it didnt evolve like literally the rest of vertebrates weve ever seen

[sudden bough]

It won’t get very dark until we get more advanced computers

[indigo plume]

Might just use my iems for gaming for now on

[sudden bough]

It’s not intelligent

[steep girder]

Honestly first ask yourself whats intelligence and how subjective what we consider to be 'intelligent' is.

[indigo plume]

For now

[indigo plume]

Most ppl aren't either

[sudden bough]

Won’t be until computers advance. Have to be quantum or better

[indigo plume]

Ai will take over animation

[sudden bough]

All it can do is give bad answers to questions and make naughty photos that aren’t exactly accurate

[steep girder]

For animated motion pictures, the true end game would be AI replaces audience as well lol

Then we are truly obselete

[sudden bough]

I’ve tried. Bing copilot argued with me about stuff before when it was wrong

[indigo plume]

Ai will take animator jobs

[steep girder]

Maybe

[sudden bough]

Not very soon

[vapid zephyr]

Nah, animations will take a while

AI already does take artists jobs

[indigo plume]

Give it a couple of years

[sudden bough]

The ones that make generic clip art, desktop wallpapers and anthro

[vapid zephyr]

Nah, I listen to certain types of ASMR and if you purchase a set those used to come with art

Those are now progressively more AI generated

[sudden bough]

what kinda are does ASMR come with?

“Certain types” >.>

[vapid zephyr]

Art relevant to the theme of the ASMR

[sudden bough]

<.<

[vapid zephyr]

It's Japanese ASMR, I said 'certain types' since that doesn't really do much for people

[sudden bough]

maybe I don’t wanna know

[indigo plume]

Ppl actually listen to asmr thought that was a meme

[sudden bough]

asmr is weird anyway

[vapid zephyr]

Maybe you should check your sanity considering you assume that everything is NSFW

[indigo plume]

In deed

Asmr is wack

[sudden bough]

…

[vapid zephyr]

Anyway, that's how I know that companies are most definitely jumping over to AI instead of hiring artists to make art inclusives for their products

[sudden bough]

When people say “certain types” and “Japanese” it’s usually pervy

[vapid zephyr]

That's just your fucked-up mind

I'm Japanese, can't I listen to fucking Japanese ASMR

Wtf is wrong with you

[sudden bough]

If I google those terms something weird will come up

[indigo plume]

Japanese stuff does have alot of Peevy stuff in media I find

[graceful burrow]

they definitely are certain types ill give em that

[sudden bough]

Yeah i saw images of certain types

[vapid zephyr]

Maybe clean your browser history and cache, maybe that'll help with that

[indigo plume]

Huh

[vapid zephyr]

You know exactly what I'm talking about

Akira is also pissed right now since she really wanted the new banner character in Genshin and she lost the 50/50 (There's a system that if you don't get the banner character in a banner, the next five star pull is guaranteed to be the banner character) and she got a chronologically 100 year old child

And she isn't even a good character either

[tepid jasper]

lost 50/50 to qiqi?

She really wanted Furina

That's what u get for playing genshin

don't even play genshit but i know about it

[tepid jasper]

[indigo plume]

Genshin is a waste

[vapid zephyr]

It's her favorite character now, it's the second time she lost the 50/50 to her favorite character

The first time was Ganyu, when she got a second Keqing instead

[sudden bough]

Genshin is a certain type…

[tepid jasper]

that's why i only play forgiving to f2p gachas

[shut lichen]

"chronologically 100 year old child"

[vapid zephyr]

Genshin is extremely forgiving I'd say lmao

[tepid jasper]

not as forgiving as the mobile game one that i will refrain from speaking of here

[vapid zephyr]

Oh she is, her lore is that she died a 100 years ago in the story and was reanimated as a zombie

[tepid jasper]

pretty much if u daily in that one u get all units

unless ur my friend, who has the shittiest luck

[shut lichen]

[indigo plume]

Just play games that don't gate keep characters behind lootboxes

[vapid zephyr]

No clue, the only thing you gotta do is invest some time

Honkai Star Rails is even more forgiving kek

[tepid jasper]

i like hsr designs more tbh

the genshin designs are cool ig, but i only really like yelen

hsr has banger designs

obv kafka goes hard, march 4th (? idk her name) and uh

there's one more character i really like the design of

[vapid zephyr]

Designs that are totally not inspired by Honkai Impact 3rd or Genshin

[indigo plume]

Kafka is just horny bait

[tepid jasper]

xd

[vapid zephyr]

Kafka, March 7th

[tepid jasper]

i mean, genshin has characters that are what, alternate dimension versions of uh

honkai?

[vapid zephyr]

My F2P Honkai account is actually pretty lucky

My standard banner luck is better than like 95% of people

I have all standard banner characters except welt lmao

[vapid zephyr]

I'm not having that much luck with light cones though, unfortunately

Only have Yaqing, Seele and Bronya

[tepid jasper]

im gon be real

i dont know much about the game

i just like the designs

my friends play it but i just watch without understanding

[vapid zephyr]

Lightcones effectively are the weapons in Star rails

[tepid jasper]

ah

unlucky

[vapid zephyr]

Ye, it's fine though

It's not like the four star ones are particularly bad and there's plenty still

And there ARE five star ones that you can get without rolling for anything, they just take very long to get

[wispy marsh]

[indigo plume]

Ppl said to get apple dongle but how would I even use it when it uses lightning port on other end

[tepid jasper]

?

the dac thingie?

[indigo plume]

Looked up apple dongle and all I see is 3.5mm to lightning

[lilac bear]

theres a USB-C version

[indigo plume]

My PC don't have usb c

[lilac bear]

https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MU7E2AM/A/usb-c-to-35-mm-headphone-jack-adapter

oh well shit

wasn't your motherboard new???

[indigo plume]

B650 board

[tepid jasper]

tuf

[shut lichen]

another of the many reasons to not buy the cheapest boards

B650s do have usb-c, it's just the extreme dirt cheap models that don't

[indigo plume]

I ain't spending 300 bucks on a board

I have one usb c that is being used

[wispy marsh]

I only want the 3000rpm's

[lilac bear]

https://tenor.com/view/kermit-falling-building-fall-woodz-gif-24715383

[shut lichen]

you literally just said it doesn't have usb-c

[indigo plume]

Well it don't have available slots

So what's the difference

[shut lichen]

because it's USB... you can just use a hub

can probably even just adapt an A port

[lilac bear]

so a USB A to USB C hub
to use a USB C to 3.5mm adapter
to drive open back headphones for someone that wanted closed back

[indigo plume]

Looking up these articles reviewing headphone and half the shit they say I have no ideas what they are saying

Like saying shit like upper mid range

And imaging and shit

[restive lion]

The audiophile who doesn't understand audio terms... that's a new one

[indigo plume]

I ain't a audiophile

[lilac bear]

you went to electrical class

[indigo plume]

Not even close

Yeah I did

What's ur point

I have no idea what it means regarding sounds

Like idk what MFS mean when it has good sounding upper range

[shut lichen]

"upper mid range"
the upper of the middle of the frequency range

[indigo plume]

Or when they say soundstage

[vapid cypress]

[indigo plume]

Still means nothing to me when talking about what it sounds like

[shut lichen]

because you've paid zero attention to everything by the sounds of it

[lilac bear]

you know you want bass

[shut lichen]

https://audioengine.com/explore/what-is-a-soundstage/

[lilac bear]

which is the lows

[shut lichen]

you also seem to be incapable of googling what things mean

[lilac bear]

there are then mids, and top

[indigo plume]

Why do ppl just call it bass and treble and shit then

[shut lichen]

because basic terms

[shut lichen]

here's the RTINGS response graph with the bits at the bottom to help you understand @indigo plume

[indigo plume]

Wtf is difference in low mid and high bass

[lilac bear]

Bass/Low - Mid/Mid - Treble/High

[lilac bear]

low base is ultra low

[indigo plume]

Didn't know there was more than one kinda of bass

[shut lichen]

pay attention to the graph numbers and the lines

low bass is everything below about 50hz
