they can do that in a much simpler way
they can just make it an amd ryzen APU that draws 15w in handheld and 45w while docked

the dock can function as a heatsink if the rear of the switch is metal

upgrade docks exist
It would cost $600 and not be upgradeable, its Nintendo

we aren't exactly talking about an XBOX or Playstation competitor
Nintendo is to xbox and playstation what apple is to windows...
you either want apple/nintendo or you don't
its not really a competitor in terms of hardware

yah but the switch is still due for a hardware upgrade
dry stratus
its old and graphical issues so yes

they probably got a deal with nvidia
who had a massive oversupply of those old shitty gpus
and nintendo was like ill take them off your hands for cheap

How does your own software for your own console lag

yah but the switch is still due for a hardware upgrade

i make music but have been told on several different occasions in very different environments that i should get into voice over work. my voice is a little deep and many dynamic mics that roll off the lows around 50-70hz have this unpleasant resonance that i usually have to EQ out.

I'm in a more noisy environment so wouldn't a dynamic mic be better?

Depends, if you cant treat it at all whether it be because its like a living room or cause you cant afford it then yeah, but generally if you can treat your room, condenser is better
unique wind
I'm in a more noisy environment so wouldn't a dynamic mic be better?
probably not better in a meaningful way
mic technique and setting gain properly is more important than what type of capsule you have
weak rapids
Real way to go is supercardioid condensers
unique wind
tight pattern condensers are based
weak rapids
Honestly, for a condenser the earthworks ethos is bad, typically you go for condenser for more detail and less of that broadcast sound but thats what the ethos sounds like
Although compared to dynamics its amazing
unique wind
most condenser mics have a treble boost
i believe the ethos is flat or even slightly recessed in some regions
unique wind
most condenser mics have a treble boost
most dynamics too tbf, just most consumer oriented audio gear in general
yeah ethos has a little scoop at 5-6k that might make it sound softer

Like I find Ethos to be too warm for a condenser, but compared to popular dynamics like the sm7b its great

Generally what I found is if the re20 is nasally for your voice, then the re320 is the way to go
weak rapids
but it's probably my favorite dynamic
Same, the only reason I didnt go through with swapping my sm7b with an re20 is cause i make A LOT of micro adjustments with my mic and even with the shock mount the re20 would’ve been bad for that

My HyperX Cloud headphones from 2016 need replacement: PU leather is coming off the caps, soft-touch plastics are sticky, and even the braided cable is stiff (I tried to wash it with soapy water - no, it's not the grease). Other than that, I really liked how they sound, and the mic is okay-ish. They're got a 15-25000 Hz range, 60 Ohm impedance, with 53 mm drivers.
What are good models in about 100-150 USD range? I need them to come with 3.5 mm jack, >2 m cable and a microphone with physical shut-off button. I've looked at some SteelSeries model
weak rapids
Well tbh, if you liked how they sound then I would recommend getting another pair, unless you are curious about jumping into the (eventually expensive) audiophile community
@white gate wanna deal with this?
vocal hare
<@131430941204676608> wanna deal with this?
I think for starters, I'd like to jump of 'gamer' brands. But Cloud's are the best pair of headphones I ever had. Used some Roccat's ones before (utter garbage), cheapo Chinese brands, etc. In games like CS:GO I definitely heard enemy much, much better than before. And they are fine for music I listen (but I don't listen in headphones, usually).
weak rapids
My first recommendation then would probably be the pc38x, its made by drop and sennheiser so an audiophile company and its mic doesn’t have an off button but turns off when you flip it up. Also only has an impedance of 32ohms so anything will drive it
Although warning, it is open back which will be better for soundstage and imaging but will leak audio and let audio in

Their problem is they want an audiophile headset with a mic that turns on and off for $150 or less
Theres already very little audiophile headphones with mics period
dry stratus
the on and off button can be done with a keyboard shortcut
vocal hare
The thing is, sometimes I don't use headset in months, and then there is a game where I use it daily for 3-6 hours for week/months. I don't want the cheapest nor I do want something with 300 USD price tag and 60 Ohm impedance since it's a PC headset after all.

Honestly if you're explicitly NEEDING a gaming headset (though I REALLY would recommend you don't, and get a proper set of headphones and mic instead), the only one that I can recommend would be the Audeze maxwell

Whats the difference between different impedances? Also rip
Also these look open back-
lean grove
Whats the difference between different impedances? Also rip
Lower impedance means the amplifier can deliver more power, but it's a little bit more strenuous on the amp.
So if you have something that doesn't have a whole lot of power, think an old iPod, you want a low impedance to get the volume you want.
But with a high impedance the headphone is closer to "ideal" from the amplifiers perspective so it's happier powering it. Usually.
Happier meaning it can control the headphone better.
The 250 ohm beyers is the sweet spot. Modern hardware can make it loud enough.

dont go for 32 ohm in beyers

600 ohm beyers is like, for studio use and daisy chaining a bunch of headphones.

Oh also, what do tube amps sound like? I'm curious but not curious enough to buy...
“Good” valves will sound as transparent by default as a good transistor in circuit (the intention with valves was never to create a warmer sound or whatever)
Typically in practice a valve amp will sound warmer and at that point it’s just a question of whether you like it/prefer it over something else
They’re a component which do wear out and they sound different as that occurs - it’s a nonsense prospect to me and would rather use EQ or change my speakers appropriately
Back in the day I used a Musical Fidelity F-22 pre amp and F-15 power amp, the former had a valve output stage and the latter had a valve input stage - id rate it as “it was a good amp” - it didn’t have a particularly warm sound with the Focal speakers I used it with, but I didn’t have much other gear to compare with in the house.
molten lotus
Based off of hearsay, people generally go for tube amps in the 1k budget
Most tube amp owners I have spoken to have said that unless you go for diy solutions tube amps are not worth it around the 500$ price point

the only reason i have a hybrid tube amp for my speakers is that it looks cool

Since NA uses 120V, that'd be 660w

So it can run on the same power strip?
haughty girder
Also, at Full, can it run off of the same power strip as a 750 W pc
You can, but I wouldn't recommend it
terse river
Ok
haughty girder
depends on how often you're drawing 600w on that receiver
your home breaker is either 15a or 20a
unique wind
it says it maxes at 5.5a, there shouldnt be any issue using it on the same breaker as a PC

no no let klaus continue to hyper fixate on something that's not audible while ignoring the faults of other headphones that are very well audible

"not audible"
lean grove
Audible doesn't matter to him because he doesn't actually get to hear the headphones. All he can do to interact with them is pull up solder dudes flat plate measurements
unique wind
sundara are sibilant but it's not because of the decay you bring up
molten lotus
it's pretty much because of it
inb4 you post its distortion chart
which is a direct result of the decay
molten lotus
sounds being off tune
lean grove
Sure. To extend that, it's when you try and make a pure signal but it contains harmonics. Yes?
molten lotus
alright
lean grove
It has components which alter the final waveform into anything other than a sinusoidal wave
Now what happens if your pure sinusoidal wave just lingers for a little bit longer than it's supposed to?
molten lotus
I don't know what a fucking sinusoidal wave is probably nothing good
oh
a sine wave
molten lotus
I am talking about sundaras in particular
or are you going to tell me its pure coincidence that the distortion and decay is at the same frequencies
unique wind
it's definitely some minute decay and not the 5-10db peak at 6k which is a sibilance region
lean grove
I was gonna say that you can ring without distorting
lean grove
I don't think you can easily say that distortion is caused by ringing tho.
It might be something causing both.
Or the distortion causing the ringing.
molten lotus
to my knowledge its the magnet placement that causes the distortion
which is assumed to cause the distortion
lean grove
That seems like too easy of a fix
molten lotus

like the magnet and the other parts of the driver
not just the chasis

I don’t want to buy a mic that works for someone whose voice is the opposite of my voice
Podcastage had a very positive view on the ethos, but this other reviewer who had a low frequency voice, sounded boxy

Someone had an sm7 that was manufactured 50 years ago

You do though I can hear differences between numerous mics

It is a different sound
It is not a better sound or a better mic
not unless you want a multidirectional mic for some surround recording bs anyways
the only real benefit to purchasing a different mic is the noise level and it sounding more to your liking
and the latter is barely a point and a half since you have the power of post recording process
and if you can't, in the audio engineering community, this is commonly referred as a skill issue

But bass vocals with extreme low end can it match a icon pro
And does the room need to be heavily treated

molten lotus

you can make it
its not like pros buy like a single 10k mic and be done with it either
they have several mics
and the only purpose they serve is convenience so they can get the sound they want easier without having to use as much post processing
