little geyser

mechanical

thats it

brisk parcel
#

Also @swift lantern the 1mores come in silver and gold

little geyser
#

realy

#

and white

brisk parcel
#

Alright, let me see what I can get, White backlight or do you want white key caps?

little geyser
#

keycaps, and backlighting can be rgb

#

or blue

brisk parcel
#

Alright, let me see, I don’t think I know any but I’ll have a look

swift lantern
#

Hmm, thems is some expensive earbuds, I'll look into it

little geyser
#

i have been looking at this one RK ROYAL KLUDGE RK61

brisk parcel
#

They are expensive, but they’re worth it for sure

#

I have the 1more quad drivers and they’re the best I’ve heard for IEMS, but they’re also twice the price as the triples, but the triples sound great too

little geyser
#

the one on amazon is 50 bucks

brisk parcel
#

And zenith I’ve heard about that one, I heard good things about it

little geyser
#

okay cool thx

brisk parcel
#

But idk what white keyboards people usually go with

#

So I would wait for someone more informed to let you know about it

little geyser
#

also a mouse for like around 40-50 dollars one where you can change the dpi without the software

brisk parcel
#

I think @hazy fiber can help you with that

little geyser
#

with a button on it that changes it

#

oh

#

@hazy fiber

brisk parcel
#

I already pinned him dude it’s alright 😂

little geyser
#

ohh

#

lol

#

srry

#

also sounds like you have a nice pc

brisk parcel
#

I’m not experienced in keyboards and mice much since I haven’t had to go looking, so yeah I would wait for a few others to chime in

#

And who, me?

little geyser
#

yea

#

i7

brisk parcel
#

Tbh it’s far from the worst but it’s not that great 😂

little geyser
#

true

#

better then mine

brisk parcel
#

The 6700k is showing its age for sure

little geyser
#

OOOF

little geyser

Dude those things can only do like one thing at a time

little geyser
#

I just purchased a monitor tho

brisk parcel
#

Tbh I would focus on getting a better computer man

little geyser
#

it gets loud and hot, but it can do it thp

brisk parcel
#

Your money would be much better spent

little geyser
#

yea i am getting one for christman

#

*christmas

brisk parcel
#

I might be able to help if you’re going to build it yourself, I’m pretty good at making price lists

little geyser
#

for like 400 bucks

brisk parcel
#

Oh my

little geyser
#

what

#

i poor

brisk parcel
#

That’s a bit low

little geyser
#

lol

brisk parcel
#

Well yeah that’s the thing

little geyser
#

i could wait a year and have a budget of like......

#

hmm

#

lemme see

#

i think like 1k

#

lol

brisk parcel
#

I would say you should save the money and try and spend at least $1k yeah

little geyser
#

okay

#

accuatly 1.1k

brisk parcel
#

Because sometimes double the money equates to more than double the performance

little geyser
#

true

brisk parcel
#

Well, try and do extra things on the side to save up

little geyser
#

i just need someone to help me make a parts list lol

brisk parcel
#

I gotta get back to my friends now, but if you need me I’ll be here later

#

And yeah for sure I can help

little geyser
#

okay thx

brisk parcel
#

Sure thing man! No problem at all

little geyser
#

hazy fiber

@little geyser Wired or wireless?

brisk parcel
#

I appreciate that, thanks man peepoSadSip

#

I try my best 😂

#

But really it’s not an issue at all, I don’t mind helping

#

Oh @swift lantern please do let me know what you end up getting! I would love to know

#

Always happy to introduce people to what I’ve listened to and give them a taste of what good audio sounds like 😂

hazy fiber
little geyser
#

okay

#

thx

hazy fiber
#

It's not great for palming, but good for a claw grip

little geyser
#

also you have a beast gaming pc

#

I9 and a 2080 ti.....

#

lucky

hazy fiber
#

Thanks 🙂

little geyser
#

my budget is 1k

#

for a pc

little geyser
#

yea lol

#

could you help me with part selection?

#

for it

#

or could you recommned someone?

hazy fiber
#

Yeah. When will you be building

little geyser
#

next years christmas

hazy fiber
#

Then you'll want to ask then 🙂 new parts will come out and stocks will change drastically

little geyser
#

true

#

i am thinking with going a 2060 super with 3600

#

...

hazy fiber
#

Ask in #building-and-recc-chat like a week or two before you build and someone will help
That would be solid, but by then the 3060 and 4600 will likely be out

#

Unless you wanna save a little by going with what will be last gen 🙂

Is there any good mousepad websites that you guys can recommend to me?

little crater
#

mousepad websites?

#

you can buy mousepads on newegg

#

or amazon

#

or ebay

distant cove
#

No I mean like

#

Mousepad websites like the mousepadcompany

little crater
#

i have no idea

#

i mean, its just a mouse pad

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Hello, I need some suggestions for a good desk chair

#

My budget is technically up to $500 but I’d prefer if it’s lower

#

I currently have a generic branded chair and it’s causing me problems

#

I’m 5’ 11” (~180CM), and weigh 155 lbs (~70KG)

#

I’m looking for one that has a headrest, adjustable armrests, and is very durable

distant cove
#

Just get an office chair from amazon

astral hinge
#

what the

#

@viral canopy u don't have to spend that much, secretlab makes rlly compfy chairs for 200-500$

#

they hieght and weight adjust as well

viral canopy
#

I’ve considered the Secretlab chair but I’ve seen very mixed reviews

prime copper
calm cobalt
#

Idk it should

hazy fiber
#

I'm getting a secret lab omega. Will see how it is

#

@prime copper is it a 3.5mm cable, or what?

prime copper
#

Yeah it's a 3.5mm

#

@hazy fiber

hazy fiber
#

You can buy adapters

#

Look at Amazon, shouldn't cost much

proven basalt
#

anyone got a recommendation for a good 2 or 4k gaming monitor, my old monitors arent cutting it anymore.

arctic juniper
#

Idk if this is the right chat but if anyone can offer help I'd appreciate it alot

My case (Thermaltake versa h18) has a led that is supposed to light up when the tower is powered on. It uses a molex connector which I have plugged in but it will not light up. I have a corsair cx650m psu that came with a molex cord but has what looks like a 4 pin fan plug at the end. Am I supposed to plug that into my mobo? And if so which header? (I have a asrock b450m steel legend) tysm to any help I can get

twilit jolt
#

I have a question. What is better, Corsair or Razer?

frigid vortex
#

Corsair. Razer is good too but the peripherals tends to start acting finicky after a good 2 - 3 years. Had a keyboard that randomly types out "a" at times and software tends to be buggy, but that was my experience 4 years ago. I have a Corsair Mouse, and it works like a charm.

tight pulsar
#

tbh the only good keyboard for a semi good price by either is the huntsman te

jovial scaffold
#

Huntsman te is LOUD tho. Just keep that in mind lol

frigid vortex
#

Am a fan of loud keyboards haha.

jovial scaffold
#

Good lol

silver roost
#

Now I'm debating between getting the Arctis 7 or the HyperX Cloud Mix

brisk parcel
#

@silver roost what's your budget?

#

headsets aside

silver roost
#

$200 at most, no need for a microphone, I want a similar design to those headphones

brisk parcel
#

alright so you have a mic already?

#

well that really opens your options

silver roost
#

I have a blue ice microphone and it works fine so yes

brisk parcel
#

do you prefer open or closed back? or what case would work better for you?

silver roost
#

Closed back

brisk parcel
#

alright

silver roost
#

Something I can use for PC but also road trips

brisk parcel
#

how do you feel about the DT770 pros?

silver roost
#

Comfortable and identical design

brisk parcel
#

let me link them

silver roost
#

I don't like their design looks too complex

#

If you could find something wireless but can also be used wired that'd work too

brisk parcel
#

hmm

#

alright let me see

silver roost
#

the Arctis design is perfect

brisk parcel
#

true, but the quality is the thing here

#

for the price, your money can be much better spent

#

and I mean MUCH better spent

#

still looking to see if I have any wireless recommendations here, I don't think I do

silver roost
#

I want something that's comfortable and doesn't look dumb to wear in public

#

Like the DT770 kind of looks dumb to wear in public

brisk parcel
#

alright well that's a little better lmao

#

and wdym they look dumb? they don't look that out of the ordinary haha

silver roost
#

not a fan of their design ¯_(ツ)_/¯

brisk parcel
#

alright, how do you feel about audio technica?

#

they're really good closed backs for the price, they're not wireless but they're not bad for the price at all

silver roost
#

not sure if I like the folding idea as well as leather earcups

#

I tested the Arctis 5 and they were comfy af

#

But that seems to be an Arctis thing

brisk parcel
#

not a fan of leather? they're one of the most comfy materials

silver roost
#

I get that but sweat seems to be their major letdown

brisk parcel
#

alright, I can work with that

#

oh hello night

hazy fiber
#

I would recommend the Bose 700s or Sony WH1000MX3, and QCII on the lower end

#

Tho Audiotechnica is great too

And hi @brisk parcel

brisk parcel
#

^ all those are great options

#

if you're not a fan of leather, the sennheiser 598 Cs use a really comfy fabric

silver roost
#

$481

hazy fiber
#

Ooof, those are pricey

brisk parcel
#

really? let me double check that lmao

silver roost
#

If the Arctis Pro Wireless went on sale I probably would go with those but they don't appear to be going on sale anytime soon

brisk parcel
#

yeah they're not that worth it IMO

#

just for the price, the sound isn't there

#

so the 598 Cs are $250 on sennheiser's website, but they are $200 on amazon when they're in stock

silver roost
#

It's just that I don't get to test headphones cause of the virus so it's excruciatingly hard to decide which are best

brisk parcel
#

you're not really gonna be able to get out and test a lot of the good audiophile ones, you'll mainly get to try gaming cans and sony, bose, beats, maybe a few others

#

these are another good pair of ATHs, the earcups might be a bit better if leather makes you sweat too much

hazy fiber
#

Anyone have recommendations for a smallish sub

#

Max 10-12"

brisk parcel
#

well damn I wish lmao

#

haven't looked into them much

#

@silver roost unfortunately most of your options will use leather cups, but you can but aftermarket pads of different materials

#

buy*

#

at least on the audiophile side

#

that might be a better option for you honestly, get heaphones and buy aftermarket pads

#

but having pads will affect the soundstage, especially since leather helps isolate a lot of sound passively

#

@ me with your response too, I'm gonna play some warzone

silver roost
#

I have been settled on the Arctis 7 for a long time as many people have said its worth it, I get they say the sound lacks but when I tried the Arctis 5 I was completely fine with how it sounded

#

@brisk parcel

calm cobalt
#

Yo

#

I really like the side buttons feel on my m720

#

But obviously I cant game with that

#

Is there another mouse with similar click and feel

#

Preferably ergo

brisk parcel
#

@silver roost sorry I didn't see your message yesterday, and yeah that works. I just think you should get out and try different headphones when you have the chance, cans geared towards pure audio will always have a different thought process behind them, rather than a "gaming" oriented can

#

especially for the price, but I

#

I'm just providing my honest opinion*

#

@calm cobalt not sure, I don't have much experience with mice, but once again, @hazy fiber might be able to help you out

#

also, @west hornet , I have achieved a new max quality

silver roost
#

No worries. I’m hoping that in the future when this chaos is over I can actually sound test and wear the headphones and see which I like best

brisk parcel
#

using these settings completely removed the "veil" over the sound. I am in heaven

silver roost
#

I don’t know any store that’s letting you do this neither any store I can walk into so

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

brisk parcel
#

yeah that's true, and tbh like I said earlier, when you go out and test cans, you won't really get to test the fancy audiophile ones, cause there really are some nice options for every price range

hazy fiber
#

That would probably be a solid idea. I know little about the quality of artic headphones, I just think "gaming" headsets are somewhat pointless

brisk parcel
#

I gave you a few recommendations already, but you also want to take your personal use case into account, especially what type of music you listen to

west hornet
#

Nice

silver roost
#

I honestly don’t care if they are gaming or not as I want to be able to use it everywhere I go

west hornet
#

I am currently battling my usb cable

silver roost
#

The downside is with the Arctis line it’s retractable so it’s sticking out 24/7

brisk parcel
#

the fact that they're "gaming" means that they almost always prioritize treble over bass

#

so you can hear the glorious footsteps

silver roost
#

I just love the design of the Arctis headlines where it doesn’t make me look stupid wearing them

#

And the boxy headphones are wtf

brisk parcel
#

ah, the stacks?

hazy fiber
#

I'd really recommend the Sony wh1000mx3. They are very nice NC headphones that have excellent sound.

brisk parcel
#

^

#

@west hornet what's up with your usb cable?

silver roost
#

Are they wired or wireless and how much @hazy fiber

hazy fiber
#

Wireless, USB c, with 30 hrs of battery

brisk parcel
#

and NJ, hold on, I think I have something you might like if you really like the design of the arctis line

hazy fiber
#

You can grab them on eBay used for... Lemme check

brisk parcel
#

how about these?

#

completely forgot about the pro 82s

hazy fiber
#

Used for $130, open box on eBay for 170

west hornet
#

It got stuck in a cablebox

silver roost
#

Meh @brisk parcel

west hornet
#

lol

silver roost
#

I’ll take a look thanks @hazy fiber

brisk parcel
#

lmao that totally sounds like you, and NJ alright gotcha

hazy fiber
#

Np

brisk parcel
#

how did you get it stuck in a cable blox?

west hornet
#

No clue

#

I didn’t have anything else to plug it into but it didn’t want to come out

brisk parcel
#

oh jeez

#

did you get it un-stuck

west hornet
#

Yeah I kept wiggling it, eventually it came out lol

brisk parcel
#

well that's good at least lmao

worldly grove
#

i have the logitech g203 mouse and i am looking for a upgrade. what mouse should i get.

#

im thinking about the razer deathadder V2

brisk parcel
#

I'm not too educated in mice as stated before 😂 but lots of people are saying good things about the dark core RGB pro from corsair

worldly grove
#

i am trying to stay around $50

hazy fiber
#

I really like that one, but if $80 is overbudget just look for one you like on Amazon or something and pay heavy attention to reviews. That's why I got the dark core pro and I don't regret it

worldly grove
#

ok, i think my mouse is starting to double click

worldly grove
#

also what is a good michanical keyboard i have the reddragon k552 and i want a better one

silver roost
#

I have a Blackwidow Elite and I love it

#

@hazy fiber Can you use the WH-1000mx3 wired or just wirelessly

hazy fiber
#

Both

silver roost
#

Sweet

sweet ore
#

I am very fond of my Logitech G600 and I dread the day it dies.

hazy fiber
#

It's a pretty standard feature in wireless headphones :)

silver roost
#

Yeah but I know some don't come with it so I wanted to make sure

#

I don't see any cheap on ebay but I'll see what I can do

hazy fiber
#

I hate it when sellers mark an item as used when it's broken

silver roost
#

I love how it says fast shipping yet I live on the otherside of the country and it will take a week

#

I also hate that I don't have the money to buy it yet and it ends in 14 hours

hazy fiber
#

There are usually decent deals on it tho, don't feel pressured

silver roost
#

Yeah maybe there will be a July 4th sale in local stores so

silver roost
#

Also might drop in price if the XM4 is released soon'

cedar stirrup
#

What do you guys think of linear switches for a mechanical keyboard vs tactile?

little crater
#

its all preference

#

linear are nice

#

tactile are nice

#

tactile can be louder tho

#

but not as loud as clicky

tight pulsar
#

it’s all personal preference, some like linears but hate tactiles, and some hate all mx switches and like topre or alps

#

I’d go to a electronics store like Best Buy and try the different switches out to see which you like most

sweet ore
#

That would be nice... too bad the one Best Buy we had local got wrecked by a tornado.

marble sparrow
#

Hey my on my keyboard I’m able to take off keys on most keys but there are some that I can’t tell if they are the same way, if some keys are removable are all of them?

#

The same *

placid dune
#

i'm assuming you've managed to pull all keycaps except bigger ones with only your fingers?

#

in that case you'll need a keycap puller

marble sparrow
#

ah ok

#

thanks

tight pulsar
#

yea or you can flatten a paper clip and make a similar design as one and have a bootleg one

calm cobalt
#

So when I give my grandmother the laptop, I'll also be getting her a Razer Aetheris Stormtrooper moise

#

I wanted a cheap but still decent quality mouse

any other mouse yall might recommend?

cursive marsh

Gamer grama

tall fox
#

Im looking to change my keyboard

#

Whats the best mech keyboard with something quieter than blue switches

#

And something not expensive lol

daring zenith
#

What is not expensive for you

#

Theres the <120$ market and then theres the <60$ market

#

There's the great stuff and then the cheap stuff

tall fox
#

Are <60$ even worth the buck

daring zenith
#

some could be

#

Anyways my usual suggestion is a Corsair K70 with mx red or mx brown

tall fox
#

gonna check that out

full kelp
#

is cherry worth the extra

tall fox
#

im using a cherry clone

#

feels good, but haven't tried the real ones so cant say really

#

@daring zenith is there a huge difference with mx red and brown?

rancid dove
#

I am trying to set up a streaming video for our church. I have heard that an SDI camera would be best but I have no familiarity in this area. Also, what kind of PC specs would I need? And how much better is it than just a webcam?

dense forge
#

HyperX Alloy FPS - Silver Speed Switches or HyperX Alloy Origin - hyperX red switches ? which one is better ?

tight pulsar
#

@full kelp cherry were the gold standard until the patent expired and everybody copied the design, now some clones are better (a lot in the custom world), gaterons are pretty nice and otemu or whatever blues are good

full kelp
#

nice 🙂

daring zenith
#

Outemu blues are horrible xd @tight pulsar

#

They're cheap, that's all they got

tight pulsar
#

@daring zenith a lot of people like them better than cherry bc of the sound and feel, iirc they use a click bar instead of a click jacket so they have less rattle and higher pitched clicks (literally every other clicky switch use a bar instead of a jacket outside of cherry bc they are better overall)

daring zenith
#

Well no one I know that uses the k552 likes it so

#

beats me

tight pulsar
#

:v that’s why it’s preference

daring zenith
#

from my experience 100% of people that has the k552 which has outemu blues would rather have something else

#

so

tight pulsar
#

and the board itself contributes a lot to the feel/sound, a cheap $30 keyboard is gonna feel a lot worse than a expensive one or custom

#

same with stabilizers they can make a board sound great or make it sound like absolute trash

daring zenith
#

so that's gonna be my stance on outemu blues

full kelp
#

i do have outemu browns

#

and thats the only mechanical keyboard ive ever used so

proud elk

What are some good wireless headsets at around 100-150£ if anyone could help me out ty

proven basalt
#

corsair has some good ones

hazy fiber
#

Would advice that you get a non-gaming branded headset. You'll get better sound for the price and can throw on a mod mic if you like

brisk parcel

#

I agree with that

jovial scaffold
#

Same

cyan basalt
#

@white talon We can talk here and not get interrupted lol

white talon
#

Gotcha lol

cyan basalt
#

I usually buy everything used, just because you can get a better deal. Usually audiophiles take care of their stuff too. I've never had an issue with buying anything used.

#

The only issue I had was when I bought the a40 TR 'refurbished' on eBay

#

The headset worked, but it was super dirty

#

And the USB port was loose on the mixer

white talon
#

Oh yikes

#

Yeah see that's my thing right now I'm just looking at the amp/dac combo stuff atm ik the k5 has more power than the schiit stuff for the same price

cyan basalt
#

Yeah, honestly, I don't notice too much of a difference with the Fiio e10k and the schiit stack, just everything can go louder on the schiit stack.

I try not to listen to anything loud because I don't want to lose my hearing

#

I use the ad700x for first person games since it has okay audio but great sound positioning

#

And then usually the dt770 and hd598 back and forth

white talon
#

Yeah see I okay competitive and stuff

#

Play*

#

So any sound separation is great

cyan basalt
#

Summit1G uses the AD900x

white talon
#

Yep he sure does

#

But they aren't my style

#

I don't like the flap adjustment I need headphones that don't slide off my head either

cyan basalt
#

Yeah, they're pretty loose lol

#

Have you looked into the SHP9500?

white talon
#

No I don't know those actually

cyan basalt
#

They're supposed to be super comfortable and great for games. Not so much for music or movies.

They have little to no bass

white talon
#

Yeah see I need the bass lol

#

For footsteps

#

And grenades and whatever else

#

Also schiit is out of stock on Amazon

cyan basalt
#

Yeah, you'll probably have to buy them straight from their website

#

They almost never restock 3rd party sites lol

white talon
#

Now what's the subreddit you talked about for finding that stuff for cheap?

#

I mean if the used stuff is a good deal I'll think about that depending on the condition of course

#

So the schiit magna 3+ heresy doesn't look to bad either

cyan basalt
#

/r/hardwareswap

/r/headphones is a good resource too

Alrighty I'm already in headphones lol. But yeah ig imma try to find out what amp/dac to buy

Anyone have reccomendations for a wireless gaming/productivity mouse? I was thinking about the Razer basilisk X

white talon
#

Okay does anyone have a amp and dac that's separate? Looking at how you set yours up and what equipment you use

west hornet
#

yes

#

I have my dac plugged into pc via optical and separate power connection to outlet. then rca from the dac to the amp

I use schiit stack with hd6xx

Can you show me a pic?

Thanks dude but yeah I'm probably gonna go for the dac if the guy is legit

west hornet
#

you could just use one usb to the pc for the dac, i use optical because i have a ton of cables and electrical interference nearby

white talon
#

I'm pretty sure my motherboard has optical I'll just use that I don't got much room for my USB stuff😂😂

west hornet
#

yeah true, you also free up a usb port

white talon
#

So what's your setup exactly?

west hornet
#

what like everything, or just audio related?

white talon
#

The amp and dac

#

And I mean if you want to go into detail sure I'm okay with that

#

@west hornet

brisk parcel
#

yo we talkin audio and I'm NOT invited?

#

smh

west hornet
#

hmm, if you want to know something specific, but if i had to describe it in complete detail i"d probably say this: so both dac and amp have separate power bricks (the one for the amp is thiccer), I use optical S/PDIF on my mobo to connect to dac, small rca cable to connect dac to amp. hd6xx with 1/4" adapter into amp. I have the high gain switch turned on on the amp. amp has a power switch dac does not. dac supports up to 192kHz 24bit in windows (stereo ofc). I usually keep windows volume at 100 and amp at ~9:00.
with sound i really like the sound of it, super clear and pleasant to listen to. to me it sounds like the bass is just a bit raised so it is comfortable to listen to for long periods of time. it is not muddy by any means (to my ears at least).

white talon
#

Well jump right in I need recommendations @brisk parcel

brisk parcel
#

for DACs and AMPs?

white talon
#

Okay @west hornet thanks bro I appreciate it

west hornet
#

lol np

brisk parcel
#

alright yeah, so I think you'd enjoy a modi and magni very much

white talon
#

I'm hoping this dac deal goes the way I want to because I can just spend $100 on a amp and I'll be set

west hornet
#

what headphones you have?

white talon
#

And yeah that's what I've been told but fiiO is another good brand as well and jdlaps

#

Labs*

#

And headphones right now g633 which I'm tired of using and they are falling apart

west hornet
#

I heard good things about jd labs, never got to listen to them tho

white talon
#

Now my question is do I go open back or closed back for competitive gaming

#

And also streaming and video watching

west hornet
#

I really like open back, but the downsides of open back are you can hear everything outside the headphones and others can hear what you are listening to pretty clearly depending on the volume you listen to

#

closed back is good for monitoring and if you are in a noisy environment

#

usually open back has bigger sound stage

#

oh i think the modi 3 supports 32bit 192kHz via usb, but that's a bit overkill tbh xD

white talon
#

Yeah I mean I have my door closed and stuff so sound isn't a issue but I like close back because of bass and stuff

#

But I mean sound quality bro why not via USB 😂

west hornet
#

looks clean

#

I kinda want the silver, but silver doesn't go with my setup at all

white talon

I'm not really worried about the color lol

Middle ground is fine im looking for something that will help with my monitor because it's super low volume and stuff. But I want decent quality.

If that's out of my pricepoint I'll just wait

i bought them refurbished and they're thx certified

they're an older version of them as well

as far as i know the only changes between in the newer is that they're a little better and come with some updated ports

#

these are some also nice ones they sell

and if you're looking for something bt capabilities then i wouldnt plan on getting those if they're significantly more expernsive

knotty socket
#

Just out of curiosity, anyone have experience with Corsair mice? Specifically the Ironclaw Wireless and the Dark Core Pro SE

brisk parcel
#

@knotty socket I think @hazy fiber can help you out

hazy fiber
#

Thx for the tag :)

@knotty socket Dark Core Pro SE is amazing. Very comfortable palm grip for my hand, battery life isn't amazing (1-2 days of heavyish use). Ironclaw, check reviews. I believe a lot of people had issues with that mouse. I was seriously considering it because of the looks of it vs the dark core pro, but I'm very glad I wend with it. Dark core is quite ergonomic and looks epic. I would highly recommend that one if you can get it for a decent price

#

The Ironclaw has tons of people saying it's uncomfortable and has an poor design that leads to bad durability

Thinking of getting a graphics tablet to get into 2d art & also for Blender painting and such. Any recommendations?

west hornet
#

I use a wacom intuos drawing tablet and i like it. newer models even have bluetooth

graceful jetty
#

So is having a screen on the tablet not really important?

#

Never used one before.

forest ivy
#

Its preference but you get used to not having to see your hand on a non screen tablet

#

Plus your hand gets in the way on a screen just like normal drawing

#

So for the massive price difference I'd recommend a non screen tablet

graceful jetty
#

Oh that's true.

west hornet
#

drawing on a tablet without a screen just takes a bit to get used to but is still nice. I've tried someone the graphic tablets but a lot of them weren't as responsive as i would hope. for that something like the ipad pro and apple pencil is really nice ngl

#

might want to find a store that you can try them out at

graceful jetty
#

As nice as the iPad Pro is, I don't want to give any of my money to Apple (especially considering the price w o w).

west hornet
#

lol but you would be surprised how expensive graphic tablets can get

graceful jetty
#

I moved countries recently, have been to a few stores but haven't seen any tablets on display. I guess I'll ask around

#

A pencil with a shiny apple logo for $200, no thanks.

west hornet
graceful jetty
#

Wow that is quite a bit.

#

I mean nothing compared to the $1k Apple option, but still.

west hornet
#

they are expensive, i tried this one but personally didn't like the feel on the surface and thought there was quite a bit of latency with the pen

graceful jetty
#

Ye I think I'm going to go with a non-screen tablet.

#

Not sure what model I'm looking for tho. That's a Wacom Intuos Small

#

Intuos Pro is a lot more expensive at around 150 euro.

west hornet
#

the naming on them is weird, that looks like the 2017 or 2016 model intuos small maybe. the newest is 2018 i believe

graceful jetty
#

ah

west hornet
graceful jetty
#

What's with the dots all over the tablet?

#

Is that for touch sensing?

west hornet
#

dots mark the active drawing area of the tablet

graceful jetty

ah I see

the intuos i don't think has finger recognition

Eh I probs would prefer a pen anyways.

@delicate flame What exactly is the configuration you're looking at?

@subtle pewter ah alright, nice! and @dense forge tbh I don't know the difference, they both seem like great options

I had cloud 2s for 3 years and I loved them

@split nimbus That's an option, but doesn't deal with the mouse/keyboard.

subtle pewter

I think i crapped myself first time I heard my new DT770 pros 😍

split nimbus

@delicate flame There are pretty easy ways to share mouse and keyboard between systems. If all else falis, USB only switches are a lot cheaper than video ones. It's even possible to make one

delicate flame
#

@split nimbus Good to know. I'll think about this

frosty magnet
subtle pewter
#

I think I had an eargasm with these headphonessss

brisk parcel
#

@subtle pewter I figured haha, DT770s are nice

#

have you ever tried open backs before?

subtle pewter
#

I have, but they weren't nice ones, I just like tight, punchy bass and I am trying to be a sound designer so closed is best for me for now

#

and I am a kid with bad hours, and these are like silenntttt to be next to at full blast

#

so my parents wil appreciate that haha

brisk parcel
#

that's fair, just curious since open backs are also different with the same price points

#

I encourage people to try anything they can, even if they don't buy it

subtle pewter
#

Yeah, I just didn't want an amp, I am glad that I can get amazing audio fidelity out of my phone with the DT 770 pros

#

These are legit an eargasm

brisk parcel
#

I picked up my first audiophile cans about a month ago, the 58X jubilees, and I modded them to be close to the 660S, and I'm sure they are lmao

#

how many ohms?

subtle pewter
#

Like these $140 DT pros blow any 500+ bose, beats, or any other mainstream brand out of the waterrrr

brisk parcel
#

I assume you went for one of the lower ones

#

and yeah I know

subtle pewter
#

I got the 32, I didn't wanna get the 16, because those aren't pros and they have less fidenlity according to their website

brisk parcel
#

I want to get DT770s for my on-the-go listening too, I love the 58X but they leak sound too much in public for me

#

yeah you would've been fine with really any model

subtle pewter
#

these headphones are literally better at sound isolation that even the best sony/bose headphones with active sound cancellation

brisk parcel
#

mine are 150 ohms and my 6S has no trouble with volume

subtle pewter
#

they are soooo quite that I can hear my heart beat when there is no music

brisk parcel
#

I haven't personally heard them but it makes sense, they use really good pads for isolation

subtle pewter
#

the amazing thing is that my mom tried them on at full blast and no matter how close I got I couldn't hear anything at all

brisk parcel
#

I remember the same thing with my 1more* quad drivers, which I currently use for mobile stuff

subtle pewter
#

I haven't personally heard them but it makes sense, they use really good pads for isolation
@brisk parcel its like... quiet enough to induce that sound dampening paranoia when you are in an invironment thats too quiet haha

brisk parcel
#

ooh

#

sounds interesting

subtle pewter
#

I just can't believe that this passive isolation is better than any active I have ever heard

brisk parcel
#

the only thing I know that gets close to what you're talking about is the 1mores

#

which honestly they have a unique sound too, if you get a chance to try them somewhere you should

subtle pewter
#

they have a frequency range of 5-35k hertz, so all of the audible tones are clean and distortion free

brisk parcel
#

most people say that you don't need more than 1 driver, but it depends on how well you apply more than one driver, and yeah the response is good I do remember seeing that

subtle pewter
#

a lot of people think its stupid to get speakers with extended ranges, but that just means they don't stress as much on audible tones

#

most people say that you don't need more than 1 driver, but it depends on how well you apply more than one driver, and yeah the response is good I do remember seeing that
@brisk parcel Yeah, it all depends on your ears and what you are doing and stuff

brisk parcel
#

well a lot of people don't know what "good audio" sounds like

#

we're both talking about our audio stuff lmao

subtle pewter
#

Yeah, they think airpods are good lmfao

brisk parcel
#

I love this

subtle pewter
#

I am glad to get a real taste of quality and audiophile grade headphones

#

its... mesmerising to listen to TBH

brisk parcel
#

I'm talking about my 58Xs and my 1more quads and your new DTs while simultaneously crapping on all the popular brands

#

I know, that's what I feel every day now and I love it

subtle pewter
#

Yeah, people are too mainstream to know that they can get these headphones that are pretty much unrivaled in sound for the price for less than airpods lmfao

brisk parcel
#

the 1mores are great for $170, believe me they are, but headphones just give a little more

#

well, some people like wireless, which is a compromise you have to make somtimes

#

1more is working on new stuff though

subtle pewter
#

like $140 got me headphones that professionals use in the studio haha

#

well, some people like wireless, which is a compromise you have to make somtimes
@brisk parcel yeah, bluetooth doesn't have enough resolution to compete with analog yet haha

brisk parcel
#

but you also gotta remember that there are different headphones in the same price range that provide a different signature

subtle pewter
#

Yeah, for sure

brisk parcel
#

I wouldn't even say that

#

but still

subtle pewter
#

the DT770's are decently flat, the 80 ohm and 16 ohm version sare more bass and treble heavy, but the 32 and 250 are more studio tuned for accurate tone and stuff

brisk parcel
#

I personally prefer a "warmer" sound, so while the 58Xs are flat, modding them to be warm was super easy

subtle pewter
#

Yeah, i can feel that

brisk parcel
#

idk I just think that a warmer sound has more emotion

subtle pewter
#

whatever sound signature these DT 770 pros have is yesss

brisk parcel
#

so while I don't diss on other cans, I just wouldn't care for super analytical stuff

subtle pewter
#

I listen to EDM so i like a flatter tone on average with better bass response and crispy treble

brisk parcel
#

yeah that would make sense for you then

subtle pewter
#

not meaning the bass and treble needs to be boosted, just clean and present

brisk parcel
#

how's the imaging on them?

subtle pewter
#

the bass on these is sooooo tight and warm and it honestly sounds like a warm bath on a cold day feels

brisk parcel
#

and the soundstage? or do you not have enough info for that yet

#

yeah the good thing about a low response is a sub-bass that you can really feel in your chest

subtle pewter
#

They are fantastic for stero width, most things sound extremely convincing for music thats supposed to sound like its all around you or behind you

#

yeah the good thing about a low response is a sub-bass that you can really feel in your chest
@brisk parcel Yeah, my mom ha sa ported 10 inch sub in her car and its riccchhhh

#

Thats the term! These headphones sound rich!

#

Like, they have a soul

brisk parcel
#

hmm

#

I can dig that

subtle pewter
#

like going from average icecream to icecream with real butter cream and fat and stuff, its just night and day

brisk parcel
#

yeah I know what you mean

#

what did you use before the DTs?

subtle pewter
#

pppfttt

#

i have been using a microsoft livechat from 2012 that has been through 8 years of usage, the earcups have worn off, the grills were replaced with foam, and the band was electrical taped haha

#

but to be honest, with some EQ and studd they sounded great as well

#

better than a gaming headset

brisk parcel
#

lmao

subtle pewter
#

they had good bass response, but you needed to wayyy boost it

brisk parcel
#

well yeah you would totally notice a diff then

subtle pewter
#

and that caused driver squeaking, but surprisingly verrryyy little distortion

brisk parcel
#

I remember you said you had 2 choices, what was your other choice?

subtle pewter
#

they had exceptional clarity in treble to be fair

#

but its still night and day

brisk parcel
#

I noticed less of a difference with mine, but it was still a big difference

subtle pewter
#

I was stuck between 3 actually haha, the 770's 880's and 990's haha

brisk parcel
#

ahh

#

well those prices very a decent bit lmao

subtle pewter
#

but then I realised that closed is better for sound design and mixing and open is better for mastering, which you do once you have good sounds, so I would get open later haha

brisk parcel
#

vary*

#

honestly I do prefer open backs for just listening

subtle pewter
#

well the 770s and 990s are the same price

brisk parcel
#

they're just different and oh yeah you're right i forgot the prices have changed a little since I looked at them

subtle pewter
#

I wanted to get the 880's because they are semi open,a nd I thought that would be a good middle ground, but its usually better to get 2 headsets that are amazing at one thing than one thats decent at 2 things

west hornet
#

yeah open is very nice for listening. for something like sound design closed is preferred

subtle pewter
#

like the jack of all trades, master of none statement

brisk parcel
#

yeah good point

subtle pewter
#

I do a lot of EDM work and stuff with dubstep sound design, so tight, closed bass response is a dream

#

mfg, 808's shakkkeee on these bad boys 🤤

#

soooo clean

#

I also love that they are replaceable

#

like, if the earpads wear down, get new ones

#

or the band, or anything really

#

Its not a throw away thing where if one thing breaks you have to trash the whole set up

#

do they have a detachable cable? I don't remember

@west hornet That was me for 2 years, now I have a good understanding of serum, so I can make some good sounds

#

I would love to show you the basics

that would be cool some time, ye basically playing around with stuff seeing what does what

#

lemme see if Z has a sound demo of the 770s

#

subtle pewter
#

that would be cool some time, ye basically playing around with stuff seeing what does what
@west hornet I could show you the basics for sure!

#

There is soooo much more, and its easy to find yourself trying to copy, so its important to learn some things on your own of course

#

to be fair, going back, my old headphones are not bad at all

#

They hold their own, they are just on ear so the immersion is little and they have a bit of a lack luster sound stage, but with some EQ, they can be solid

#

but I can hear how distorted the bass gets when boosted now

brisk parcel
#

I have my 58Xs

#

now I need a modi and magni

#

I mean yeah I have a G6

#

but I

#

want more

west hornet

yeah lol

#

g6 might be plenty, i don't have a g6 so idk

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

apparently having a good dac and amp can actually improve how these things sound so 🤷‍♂️

#

oh it is plenty

#

it can drive up to 600 ohms

#

but

#

idk like I said apparently they can sound better on a good dac and amp

subtle pewter
#

intersting funfact, the upscaler for audio on samsung does actualy make things sound slightly better

#

and the dolby atmos makes the stereo even wider and sexier

#

I am gonna be succchhhh and audio snob, I can already feel it haha

#

My friends show me their music on like beats and stuff, and its just waccckkkk

west hornet
#

i tried atmos once, it's interesting

subtle pewter
#

Its exceptionally good on the stero speakers on the phones, it can produce some striking results with content thats meant to be wayyy off to the side or behind you

#

its even better on quad speakers haha

When i got my bluetooth earbuds I swore to never go back to wired, and now here I am haha

#

I just wish my PC could drive them :/

Looking for headphones good for gaming , music and other casual stuff. Budget up to 200£($250) , Preferable EU market so i dont have to import it. I dont own a AMP.

hazy fiber
#

I wouldn't get a gaming branded headset. You can get better sound for the price with an audiophile or consumer headset. You can get a mod mic if you need that

proud elk
#

Thats why i asked for headphones

hazy fiber
#

Great! I'm just used to peeps wanting gaming stuff lol. I personally suggest looking at the Sony wh1000xm3 or the Audio Technica ATH-M50X bt

#

Bose 700s are a nice equivalent to those Sony headphones, but more expensive for slightly less sound quality

I was looking more towards open backs

Ah. I think sienhieser makes some nice ones. I personally liked my grado sr60s, tho if I were to buy grado again I would get their bt version

@subtle pewter what's your issue?

#

@proud elk you'd probably enjoy the DT990s, and the drop x sennhesier 6XXs and 58X jubilee

#

I was torn between the 6XXs and 58Xs for awhile but I went with the 58Xs cause I wanted to mod them to be close to the HD 660S. but the 6XXs have a warmer sound and are more laid back

#

so if you like warm I would go with the 6XXs, they're legit just an HD650

proud elk
#

I heard the dt990s need a lot of power

#

Am not really looking to import anything from drop cuz it's a long process and quite pricey . Too much hassle

west hornet
#

there are 250ohm dt 990 and 80ohm, 80 requires less power, you can look around online to see the differences in sound

proud elk
#

The 990 pro are quite cheap would there be any good amp for like £50-£70?

#

Looking to buy a whole mic setup whats a good price range?

for a more budget usb the samson q2u and the new elgato wave are really nice. if your looking to spend a bit more than maybe you can go with a xlr setup but you will also need a interface

@brisk parcel I ended up solving my issue in a stupid way. My PC doesn't have enough power to drive my headphones, so I have to stream my PC on my phone and plug in my headphones there to get good volume lol

#

I am still eargasming BTW

#

Anybody know a good cheap amp I could get so I can use them with my PC?

#

@proud elk just a heads up, you will leak a lot of sound and have much less bass in an open back headset. If you have a lot of things going on around you at a given time it may be distracting for you or others

I just got a set of dt770 and they are orgasmic

They leak as much sound as if they weren't on your head, and you would be able to hear everything around you

#

For dorm life I would reccomend hybrids or closed

proud elk
#

I mean i will have my own room cuz its in UK

subtle pewter
#

My DT770s block out so much sound they are better than the active noise cancelling other brands have haga

proud elk
#

and i am still planning to keep my cloud 2

subtle pewter
#

Ah, ok, if you don't share that would be a lot better

#

Ah, you will see a massive improvement over the cloud 2's haha

#

Gaming headsets and audiophile/professional monitors are night and day

proud elk
#

I was looking to get the hd58x but i have to import them

#

and idk how i feel about that

subtle pewter
#

Oh, that may be a yikes

#

I got my headphones for audiophile usage and music production, so for you the quality and fidelity may not be as big of a deal

#

I was gonna get the DT 990's then I realized they were not for me at all

proud elk
#

Oh, that may be a yikes
it is

#

something like

#

20% vat + fees to keep it there forcefully

subtle pewter
#

Oh hellll no

#

Yeah, just look for something else at that point

proud elk
#

Thats why i was looking for some other stuff thats around that price point that will get me

subtle pewter
#

Bro, I swear, I actually wanna cry Everytime I listen to these headphones

#

I am so used to people having terrible headphones like beats, or Sony, or Bose, and now here I am with a REAL pair of monitors and it's just night and day

#

These headphones dust headphones that are far more than 2x the cost

proud elk
#

The problem with the DT series is that it needs loads of power

#

and i gota look for a amp

subtle pewter
#

Well, for the 990's yeah

proud elk
#

which tbh wont be a bad purchase

subtle pewter
#

Not for the 770's

proud elk
#

the dt 990pro are like £109 atm

#

so i will have room to spend for an amp i think

subtle pewter
#

Just gotta hope your PC has enough power to run them if you want the 770's

proud elk
#

like up to 100£

subtle pewter
#

Yeah, if you are set on 990's then yeah, amp is needed

#

Lmao, I just saw your bio haha

#

Live laugh love haha

proud elk
#

They are equivalent to hd58x and i can get them from amazon

#

so less hassle and more comfort apparently

subtle pewter
#

All I know is my headphones sound phenomenal and pleanty of pro framers use the 990's so

#

*gamers

proud elk
#

ye quite an FPS addict my self

#

😳

#

know any good amps for around 100 ?

subtle pewter
#

Ah, ok haha

#

I know nothing about amps

#

I need a cheap one just to get more volume right now

#

My PC has a weak ass AUX jack

proud elk
#

Ok ill do my research and see

#

thanks for help

subtle pewter
#

No problem

#

Good luck!

#

And enjoy your BeyerDynamics headphones! I know I love the hell out of mine haha

#

I was thinking about the Apex Pro

brisk parcel
#

young vine
#

brisk parcel
#

I agree with that, I wanna get one of their mice whenever mine becomes unsuable

#

stray lynx
#

Hey guys

#

Theres a used corsair k63 ice blue with all of the extras included

#

For 80 usd

#

Is that keyboard good?

#

For that price anyway

west hornet
#

Peripherals like keyboards and mice I don’t like used

stray lynx
#

Oh ok

hazy fiber
#

If you can get a good deal I'd go for it

#

But you can get a k95 plat for like $100, so...

Hello all

#

Just asking a question here, but what is a good gpu for art related software?

jovial scaffold
fluid dew
#

I know nothing about mechanical switches, but what switch would you guys reccomend for a first keyboard?

jovial scaffold
#

Reds are a good middle ground. They're linear and not too loud.

daring zenith
#

Browns are great for most people

#

but Reds are a good bet no matter what

fluid dew
#

Ok thx for the advice will look out for any sales

split nimbus
#

I like blues 😃

daring zenith
#

Blues are the keys of the devil loud

split nimbus
#

And?

untold acorn
#

Blues are nice but id never own them

#

Feel nice but way too loud

dreamy ice
#

i have a razer deathadder elite, right now, however, it is tearing apart, any suggestions?

little crater
#

hyperspeed x basilisk

#

wireless, but awesome battery life and lower latency than my last wired mouse

dreamy ice
#

$60 tho

little crater
#

yeah, thats cheap

dreamy ice
#

it is?

untold acorn
#

Would you recommend that or the g305?

little crater
#

yes

#

not talking to you

untold acorn
#

Yea i realized

little crater
#

lol its ok

#

i use the basilisk, i love it

#

idk about the g305

dreamy ice
#

hmm I never had a wireless mouse

untold acorn
#

Ive seen good things about it thats why i was asking

dreamy ice
#

would be a new experience

little crater
#

wireless mice are awesome

untold acorn
#

^

little crater
#

i will never go back to wired

dreamy ice
#

im considering it, however is the asus rog Gladius II any good?

untold acorn
#

It makes everything a lot neater

dreamy ice
#

i stuck between those two for now

little crater
#

it looks nice

#

good for 60

dreamy ice
#

in terms of performance, the wireless one would be better?

little crater
#

i dont see it in this list

#

hmm

dreamy ice
#

yeah...

#

Hi every one .. any body used Razer Kraken Headsets ? I wanna know if its good one and worth buying or not. (your thoughts)

hazy fiber
#

I don't think gaming headsets are worth it. Just get an audiophile or consumer grade one. Far cheaper for the same sound quality and you can always add a mod mic

white talon
#

Since drop doesn't have them in stock🤔

#

Maybe I should offer and get them through ebay

#

@west hornet

west hornet
#

I'd probably wait considering that listing is 50usd more than original price

white talon
#

Well drop has them for $220

#

Which is the highest I'll go

#

I offered him $200 lol

white talon
#

Hmm should I do it

#

Welp I did it

white talon
#

😭😭😭

So sad

#

so, razer has taken down their orbweaver page, so im worried they wont me making them anymore

#

and this is all i can find for the orbweaver stealth

#

im thinking i should buy the used one while i still can, but im not sure if razer is gonna be selling a new one or not

calm cobalt
#

okay so i have a set of corsair void wireless headphones and I love how comfy and plushy they are, but now the battery is super worn out and only lasts 10 mins on a charge. does anyone have suggestions for wireless headphones that are super plushy like this? please help

#

like they have a ton of padding on the top and sides and i can wear them for such a long time, i just need something similar comfort wise without feeling like I'm buying the same exact thing

young crown
#

@calm cobalt why not just get the same headset lol

#

they refreshed it, now its the corsair void elites instead of void pros

#

i have void elites, they are very nice

#

havent had them for too too long yet, but my battery seems fine

#

if it lasts long, replacing every couple years shouldnt bee too bad

#

be*

#

also everything with a rechargeable battery is gonna wear out eventually tbh

hazy fiber
#

Or get consumer/audiophile grade ones...

How are kalih speed silver switches since hyperx seems to have a sale for a keyboard with those switches? I am just worried that I will get accidental keystrokes from what I have looked up.

white talon

yoooo anybody know a keyboard under 25 usd?

graceful jetty
#

A friend of mine wants to get a new keyboard, and she has only used laptop membrane kbs and one of those bad $10 USB keyboards. Any recommendations for (cheap) mech keyboards she could try?

white talon
#

gigabyte keyboard thats $40

#

graceful jetty
#

That was quick haha

#

I will take a look, thanks.

#

not a set channel I can find.. but I need some recommendations on good chairs.. I work on a PC and game, so something comfy that will handle 8-12 hours a day

#

I also sit criss cross a lot and would prefer it not be some cheap plastic, any recommendations?

stray lynx
#

Anyone think the corsair k70 strafe mk2 is worth it?

#

Im thinking about purchasing it new

#

Are there better options for less?

hazy fiber
#

Take a look at the k95 plat

acoustic delta
#

anyone know of some good mics under 200$?

west hornet
#

Under 200? Elgato wave for usb. You could try going xlr with a focusrite scarlet solo and a mic(blue ember, rode podmic, neat king bee, at2020, etc.) @acoustic delta

fluid dew
#

Anyone have any experience with kalih speed silver switches?

acoustic delta
#

@west hornet alright, thanks for the suggestions, I do have my eyes on the at2035

acoustic delta
#

and anyone know how long it takes before your banggood item arrives

tawdry vale
#

hmm

west hornet
#

Not sure. Another thing I might add is that a mic may sound different to your voice so get what you think will be best for you

calm cobalt

Hey guys, I'm hoping to get some suggestions for a good computer monitor mount. Is this the best forum to ask in?

devout fiber
#

Just get an office chair tbh

untold acorn
#

^

#

Usually they're more well priced and less flashy

lone trellis
#

any recommendations on those?

hollow pond
#

@calm cobalt might wanna ask in displays

fluid dew
#

Can I get a recommendations for a sub $100 keyboard?

brisk parcel
#

another good option would be the steelseries apex 5 for $100 also https://steelseries.com/gaming-keyboards/apex-5

#

if you're looking for some real decent budget keyboards, the K55 and the apex 3 are also good options

#

those are both $50 I believe

north python
#

should i upgrade my keyboard or headphones first

devout fiber
#

Depends on what needs the upgrade more

calm cobalt
#

hi can someone help me pick a monitor?

devout fiber
#

As a note @calm cobalt you might wanna change ur name or mods might get mad

calm cobalt
#

im not planning on staying

#

xd

#

they can change it themselves

devout fiber
#

Dang

jovial scaffold

north python

I have a cheap membrane keyboard and one of those cheap headsets that every company just copies and slaps theyre logo on it

#

what should i upgrade first

jovial scaffold
#

What are you doing with your setup

north python
#

Just homework and playing with friends

#

not streaming or making music or anything

jovial scaffold
#

Personally, I would get a nice keyboard first
