[last plinth]

please

[timber ridge]

theyre some of the best budget keycaps

and wont ship in 3 months if you live in NA

[elder pumice]

oh excellent lmao

well

im still looking around at keyboards too

[last plinth]

leopold

[timber ridge]

what are you looking for in a keyboard

[elder pumice]

so far i've only looked at keychron's stuff

ah

[timber ridge]

do you need numpad etc?

[elder pumice]

rgb backlighting, mechanical,

yeah

[last plinth]

get a pre assembled from kbdfans

[timber ridge]

oh and whats ur budget?

[elder pumice]

below $200

idk the price range of a keyboard though so im mainly just checking to see what's good

so if $200 is too low i could bump it up

[timber ridge]

for prebuilt, you shouldnt be spending over 150 honestly

[elder pumice]

ah okay

i didnt know people did diy mechanical keyboards

[timber ridge]

yea, its p common and its community is rapidly growing

[elder pumice]

wow

which is cheaper?

[timber ridge]

building it can range from 150 to like 5000

but its like building a pc except its not cheaper lol

the experience is a bit more fun imo and you can fine tune things to your liking

[elder pumice]

I

wow lol

well that does sound nice but that also definitely sounds like a bank-breaker

i'd imagine its not as complicated as building a computer?

[tacit wing]

well building a PC doesnt require soldering

[elder pumice]

what's soldering 😳

[timber ridge]

he can get a hot swap kit

but there isnt much full size hot swap kits that are readily available

[queen sigil]

i recommended a keychron c2

[elder pumice]

okay

wow

this is

a lot lol

i've just been opened to the realm of diy mechanical keyboards

erm

[timber ridge]

its a rabbit hole

[queen sigil]

[tight pulsar]

@timber ridge id say like $100 to $10000

[elder pumice]

christ this is making my head spin

[timber ridge]

100 if you go off of chinese websites

[tight pulsar]

considering somebody tried to buy an otd board for 8k and didnt get it

[timber ridge]

f

[queen sigil]

[elder pumice]

holy

should i just buy like a pre-built one then?

like just a mechanical gaming keyboard you could buy from like corsair or something

[neon quartz]

noxisitea#6937 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[elder pumice]

oh

well that's definitely something

[timber ridge]

gamer companies make bad keyboards

[tight pulsar]

also that 356mini for sale sold for 6300

p good for the condition

[elder pumice]

well i mean basically anything is better than what i have now

i'm using a membrane keyboard bc im on a laptop

[timber ridge]

ikbc makes good fullsize prebuilts

[elder pumice]

and i have another membrane keyboard someone gave me for free

[timber ridge]

but its a bit pricey if you get one with backlighting from them

[elder pumice]

ah

damn i thought $200 was enough

[queen sigil]

it is

just get a keychron with whatever keycaps you want

[timber ridge]

its less than 200

its like 160 for their rgb full size, but i consider stuff over like 120 in prebuilts to be pricey

[elder pumice]

could you make an equivalent value keyboard with a diy kit for the same price?

[elder pumice]

i might have to go with a keychron keyboard i wont lie

imma look thru some keycaps or something

[tight pulsar]

if youre good with using taobao or buying used for sure

[elder pumice]

gotta start somewhere

im trying to use taobao rn and i'll tell ya i cant read a thing lol

[tight pulsar]

oh yeah its impossible to try to find things

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13KIgMVvuPXdFjSIaxny7Gnqanri6p4j9h8ihV4UasA8/edit#gid=545604141 i just use this

[tacit wing]

Porta Pros

[timber ridge]

^

[vernal plinth]

[queen sigil]

porta pros

[west hornet]

still trying to get yaxi pads

my koss and mic cable come tmrw 😦

[tacit wing]

ever since i got them all my other cans have been benched

[placid junco]

o woe

wow

cheap too dude

[tacit wing]

theres clamp force but not too much

[placid junco]

he plays the bass so he likes listening to the bass in music, he isnt a bass head so he doesnt need alot of bass, but do they picm up bass pretty good?

[tacit wing]

the looks sway alot of people tho, but i promise it sounds as good as weird as they look

theyre v-shaped

the bass thumps

the soundstaging is stellar

[placid junco]

sweet man

also can they plug into an iphone?

[tacit wing]

yes

no amp needed

[timber ridge]

its cheaper on amazon rn im p sure

[placid junco]

awesome, i think this is what im gettibg him

[timber ridge]

and shipping will be a lot nicer

[tacit wing]

although if you need a dongle dac since most phones dont have a 3.5 headphone jack nowadays, i recommend the Meizu Dongle

[queen sigil]

haha mine does

[west hornet]

apple dongle

[queen sigil]

wait

[tacit wing]

as great as they are stock @ 50 dollars, Yaxi pads will improve soundstage

u missed out on the sale they were 20 dollars on BF

[west hornet]

they were about 20usd before lol

[tacit wing]

[brisk parcel]

@tacit wing oh yeah how are the porta pros

[tacit wing]

yes

[brisk parcel]

hmm, interesting

don't you dare tempt me

[timber ridge]

man

[brisk parcel]

do the yaxi pads cover your ears

[timber ridge]

hes prob smirking after reading that

[tacit wing]

imagine ksc75 but warmer and bassier

thats PP

nah yaxi still on ear

[brisk parcel]

damn

[brisk parcel]

might be worth tho

[west hornet]

lol

[tacit wing]

oh most definitely

im tempted to cancel my shenzen order

and just order off Prime

[timber ridge]

for the iems and dongle?

[tacit wing]

yes

SSP and Meizu Dongle on Prime

i really dont need the power that xDuoo offers

HPHQ shills the Meizu dongle so gotta see what the hype is all about

[swift lantern]

I ain't using those

[timber ridge]

you should jus do it

are you set in stone with the ssp?

[tacit wing]

yeah im not waiting for some parcel that may potentially not even be heading my way

wait hold on

if i were to cancel it, my ban on this server will be completely nullified

[timber ridge]

you have a chance to look at more iems b4 putting the order on amazon if you cancel

wym

[tacit wing]

i got banned after putting that order in remember

and if i cancel the order, that ban wouldve been for no reason

[timber ridge]

bruh

i mean that ban was ehh

[tacit wing]

[timber ridge]

Anyone know anything about Game/Chat issues. I got the Nari Ultimate... and My Game Audio function isn't working.

It was working earlier, and all of a sudden it quit.

No.

[normal barn]

LMAO GG'S

[normal barn]

@amber oracle does this look like that irc thing u weer talking about

[amber oracle]

no

look up mIRC

something like that

[normal barn]

i mean

discord

verison

i didn evne have compact on

[amber oracle]

you are missing the point of irc

its not meant to look "fancy"

its meant to convey info

with as little data use as possible

consider the following. Twitch chat runs on a irc platform

[normal barn]

oh

its as close to irc as i can get it on discord thats what i meant

[amber oracle]

its why it can handle the silly amounts of activity that it can :)

you could get closer, if you break TOS

[normal barn]

oh

how do i do that lmao

jk

i don wanna get banned

[amber oracle]

its not something you should do

but it would be nice IF discord decided that they wanted to do a lighter client that was streamlined for bandwidth use

and system load in general

because its a bit weird, the hooks seem to be in the API iirc

[normal barn]

lol

[amber oracle]

but they have just not really done anything with it

[normal barn]

naed

what don u got a

u know

pfp

[amber oracle]

what is the purpose of it?

[normal barn]

lol

idk

[amber oracle]

congrats

that is why

no purpose

[normal barn]

lol do u know

how to hcnage background

for web clinets

for discord

[amber oracle]

not in a way that your previous behaviour would not deem too much work

:)

[normal barn]

uhh

[west hornet]

i gues cordless might be considered a bit closer

there some scary irc chats

[amber oracle]

ofc there is Ghost

[west hornet]

then again there are scary discords too

[amber oracle]

you had to actually figure things out IF you wanted to use the darn thing back in the day

[west hornet]

true

[amber oracle]

not exactly a time for guides back then :)

[last plinth]

scary?

[amber oracle]

that part of the internet is quite different to what we have "now" in something like discord

[last plinth]

yea

i used tor browser a few times

[tight pulsar]

hm https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2020/12/apple-introduces-airpods-max-the-magic-of-airpods-in-a-stunning-over-ear-design/

[vernal plinth]

gross

I have airpods, but when it comes to headphones I am a total sennheiser fanboy

[young crown]

@tight pulsar they cost $550

also i hate to break it to apple

but

the airpod namesake just doesnt work for over ear headphones

also look at this dumb casehttps://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/690022919035683029/785908492367167558/unknown.png

[vernal plinth]

yeah, the only good thing about the pods are how portable theya re

[young crown]

yeah

and they pair well with iphones

besides that

eh

they sound fine i guess

[vernal plinth]

I have pros and like them but as expensive headphones I would never

really only for workouts

[tight pulsar]

yeah unless theyre like a ton better than the xm4's they sound kinda meh

i bet a lot of people will still buy them because theyre apple tho

[young crown]

they better sound good

because

i dont think theyre gonna sell a lot of people on the design

or the connectivity features

[tight pulsar]

the headband looks kinda funky

[young crown]

headband looks comfortable actually

but the earcups just look like cheap plastic even though theyre metal

[tight pulsar]

yeah they do

but the top looks kinda odd

[young crown]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[vernal plinth]

I think most will use these with macbooks

[young crown]

easy connection with iphones works for airpods as a selling point because theyre small and portable

these headphones though...

[tight pulsar]

funky

[vernal plinth]

macbooks also have the easy connect features

[young crown]

yeah

also yeah

it does look weird from that angle

they also stole the digital crown from apple watch

like they stole magsafe from iphone

[tight pulsar]

yeah it looks a ton inspired from the watch

side on looks weird too lol

[vernal plinth]

I gotta get out of here before I go full fanboy on yall lol

[young crown]

"guys it has a feature thats 100% not the same but it has the same name!!"

also no charging brick

[vernal plinth]

BTW the airpods studios are literally overpriced beats that are ALREADY OVERPRICED

[normal barn]

lmao wat

are those

[tight pulsar]

lightning charging hm

[young crown]

koss porta pro still better

[tight pulsar]

and theyre a 10th of the price

[young crown]

15th of the price, actually

LOL

[tight pulsar]

lmao

[young crown]

i will give it to apple though, the build quality of their products is probably better

koss feel like theyre gonna break

but

theyre $35

so who cares

[normal barn]

air pods max

lmao

[young crown]

i was actually surprised to see them priced at 550

i was expecting 350 max

[normal barn]

lmao

my a*s

i really want to beleive this

but no

i cant believe this

i mean

at this price point

ur better off

with sundaras

and schitt hela

boom

or a 150$ bluttoth module

[queen sigil]

@tight pulsar i dont like it

[tight pulsar]

too bad

[cunning hearth]

Lol

Airpods max?

Whaaaa

[calm cobalt]

🍎

[primal pawn]

STUNNING

LMAO

[gusty delta]

Wow, WHY would a pair of Apple AirPods Max cost over $500 USD?

That seems overpriced honestly, maybe it should go for $300 USD.

[timber ridge]

the answer is in ur sentence

[gusty delta]

I mean, I was asking for an opinion.

I just inputted mine.

[calm cobalt]

doesn’t make much sense, 500 is hella pricey

[gusty delta]

Mhm

[timber ridge]

its apple

[queen sigil]

its apple

[gusty delta]

It is only a notch better than the AirPods Pro which I have now.

[calm cobalt]

but somehow people are still going to buy them 🥱

[gusty delta]

The pro seems more fair who agrees?

[fair snow]

Who remembers the iPhone 3g

[gusty delta]

maybe to show off to certain people or whatever.

[gusty delta]

I do.

[fair snow]

I still have mine

But I use a 10 now

Dam that thing was slow

[gusty delta]

I am probably upgrading to the 12 Pro Max.

The 6S pkus is getting slow.

[timber ridge]

i tried liking the 12 pro max

[fair snow]

I got mine taken away for watching YouTube on it

[timber ridge]

but its missing too much

[fair snow]

I got both my parents 3GS I was to young

[gusty delta]

What do you mean, @timber ridge ?

[timber ridge]

a lotta features are missing from the iphone 12 pro max

[gusty delta]

Like?

[fair snow]

I am excited to one day have a pc the size of my phone that runs amazing

I love the 10

[gusty delta]

120 hertz display?

[fair snow]

The iPhone 10 is amazing

[timber ridge]

finger print scanner

higher refresh rate, doesnt have to be 120

[gusty delta]

Oh, you want one with face ID and touch ID?

[timber ridge]

jus higher than 90

[fair snow]

Ye

[gusty delta]

Ok

[fair snow]

The touch and face would be goat

[timber ridge]

fast charging too

[fair snow]

Ye

[gusty delta]

It does have fast charging.

Get a 20 watt brick and plug it in.

50% in 30 min

or less time

[timber ridge]

thats how long androids take to charge fully now lol

[fair snow]

My laptop can charge 100 percent from 1 in about 50 seconds

It is very cool

[gusty delta]

:/

[fair snow]

To watch the charge just go up and up

It gets super hot thought

[gusty delta]

Yup, Apple needs to improve charging speed then.

[timber ridge]

i feel like apple kinda left too much out this year

[queen sigil]

[fair snow]

But the images from the 12 are so stable

[timber ridge]

i was supposed to switch to iphone this year but gg

[fair snow]

And the not having to have a case

[gusty delta]

Instead try the S20 Ultra, @timber ridge .

[timber ridge]

im waiting for the s21

[gusty delta]

It is crazy good to game on.

[fair snow]

Dam that thing my dad dropped the Xbox and ps4 on his and it did not get a scratch

[timber ridge]

its releasing early this time around

[gusty delta]

The S21 or what?

[timber ridge]

yup

[fair snow]

Who has AirPods

[timber ridge]

a lot of leaks are saying its coming january

[fair snow]

They are amazing

[gusty delta]

@fair snow I have the AirPods Pro, I don't need the Max.

[timber ridge]

the iphone 12 pro max is the only good iphone imo

[gusty delta]

mhm

[fair snow]

Ye I have just AirPods

[timber ridge]

i had the pro and the regs

[gusty delta]

Improved camera over Pro.

[calm cobalt]

non-pro AirPods are great man

[timber ridge]

but i sent back the pros bc i couldnt justify the 200 extra

yea they are

[gusty delta]

@timber ridge plans on getting max or it is overpriced?

[calm cobalt]

pro should even better

[fair snow]

Apple Music or Spotify

Spotify

[gusty delta]

Spotify

More variety

[fair snow]

Ye

[gusty delta]

You pay less also.

[timber ridge]

I almost got the pro max, the reg pro doesnt have the best battery

[gusty delta]

Mhm

[timber ridge]

but i tried the note 20 ultra and liked it

but after hearing that the s21 is coming in juanuary i sent it back

[gusty delta]

The Pro max also got better camera than the Pro.

[timber ridge]

jus playing the waiting game rn

[fair snow]

Do you know that every time you charge AirPods that they lose their battery life a little

[gusty delta]

What you have right now?

@fair snow yes.

[fair snow]

Ye

[timber ridge]

that goes for all batteries

[tight pulsar]

you can fit a lot of 40s on a deskmat

[fair snow]

I am on this getting ready for math test

[gusty delta]

The batteries are tiny and they have decined a lot if you use for 2 years.

[fair snow]

Ye

Wow keyboards

[timber ridge]

apple shrinking it every year lol

[gusty delta]

Maybe 1.5 years

[fair snow]

Ya

Probably get some new ones this year

[gusty delta]

Which one?

[fair snow]

Mabye the pro my dad has them

But probably not Beacuse I am getting a i9 10900k and a 3080 so ya

[gusty delta]

Ah, I can speak for the Pro. They are really good and worth the $249 USD if you are a hardcore music listener.

[timber ridge]

i think pros should be 180

[fair snow]

I am not

[timber ridge]

and do you need a i9?

[fair snow]

I realy don’t like music

Ye

[gusty delta]

I seen the Pros dropped to $200 on walmart and amazon.

[fair snow]

I do need one

I play bass guitar but that’s the only music I like

[gusty delta]

What are you planning to do with the i9?

[timber ridge]

im hoping samsung throws in their upcoming buds with s21 pre orders

[sharp kindle]

why i9?

unless u have a good price at microcenter i wouldnt get the i9

[fair snow]

For the Minecraft stream video edit and my dad is going to use it and he does 3D rendering and stuff that I don’t care about

[sharp kindle]

ah i see

[fair snow]

Ya

[sharp kindle]

so u also need ram

Ya

And they come very close in performance

[timber ridge]

[sharp kindle]

[sharp kindle]

lance has got those fast asf reactions

beating the scalpers

[timber ridge]

i just learned to not be picky with cards

the 3080 launch taught me that lmao

[fair snow]

Ya

How is the 7 3700x and 3070 in Minecraft

[timber ridge]

i play with bsl shaders and get around 90ish fps

at 1440p

[fair snow]

How about fort

I play with my friends

Arena

[sharp kindle]

dont ask a grown man that question

[timber ridge]

dont have it

[sharp kindle]

it should be fine

[fair snow]

Ohh

Ya

[sharp kindle]

it should be very fine

[fair snow]

I got a 240 ha monitor

[timber ridge]

i have cold war, and with like max settings and ray tracing on med

[sharp kindle]

for fortnite

[timber ridge]

i get about 80fps

at 1440p

[fair snow]

Okay

I don’t play cod I have modern warfare but it realy is just annoying that people never have mics and it is boring

[timber ridge]

fort shouldnt be too far off from val, atleast from a visual perspective

and i get like 200+ on val

[wraith roost]

@queen sigil I wouldn’t want to spend more than $500 all in, pcb, switches, caps, chords

[queen sigil]

uhhh

[cunning hearth]

500 is quite a lot

[timber ridge]

i mean

[queen sigil]

staying away from like GP stuff that takes a year to arrive

there are like nk65

[timber ridge]

nice alu kits cost 300+

[cunning hearth]

u could get tofu 65 and such

tofu 65 kit only 199

w/ dz65 and brass plate

[queen sigil]

its like 100$+ give or take 150+ for keycaps and like maybe max 70$ for switches

and like replace stabs or whatever

[timber ridge]

portico kit might be a nk65 killer

spec wise theyre p much the same besides the portico being gasket mounted

[queen sigil]

id still take the kbd67 over nk65

lite vs entry ofc

[wraith roost]

I mean it doesn’t have to be that much, but if a set is keycaps could be over $100, tangies switches could add up to almost $100, I dunno how much custom chords are. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[tight pulsar]

🤔 if you want a 60% hex3c extras soon

[wraith roost]

I’d honestly rather not get into modifications and lubing at this point

So something that works best out of the box

[timber ridge]

does the nk65 come stock with screw in stabs?

[tight pulsar]

uh idk but olivia edition looks nice with prelubed switches

[daring zenith]

Keychron

[tight pulsar]

also you could just find what kind of keyboard you want and see if anyones selling anything built like it on mm

[latent spear]

because it will add a touch of rgb to my setup and stream and i like the quality of it

[timber ridge]

oh fair enough

[latent spear]

basically athletics

[timber ridge]

gl on getting one, didnt know they were hard to get lol

[cunning hearth]

guys gmk red samurai in stock at amazon

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081DDCHZN/ref=twister_B081FS8Y4M?_encoding=UTF8&th=1

[queen sigil]

ah yes athletics

[timber ridge]

when i think of gmk samurai i think of ducky

[cunning hearth]

well i mean

i think it looks good

[fair snow]

Is the quad cast good u got it and I am worried it will sound trash

[queen sigil]

yo smae

[timber ridge]

its good but if you prioritize sound quality over aesthetics get something else

but compared to other usb mics they perform about all the same

[west hornet]

the solocast looks to have good sound for the price, but the other quadcast i prefer other mics like the elgato wave for the price

[timber ridge]

the amazonbasic mic is actually op

[fair snow]

i want a red and black setup

is the aduio good for a mic that expensive

[timber ridge]

oh the reg quadcast is p worth it

[fair snow]

i have it

i got it but havent open it yet

[timber ridge]

youre gonna b competing with the reg blue yeti, wave, amazonbasic and some cheaper fifine stuff

i personally think the amazonbasic or wave has the best mic quality out of the bunch

[fair snow]

but does it sound better than a headset mic from razer

[timber ridge]

yes

[west hornet]

well sound wise i think there are better options, but if you are going after a certain aesthetic that changes things, it seems you have made your mind but that is not to say it is a bad mic, you will probably be satisfied with it

[timber ridge]

its better than like 99% of headset mics

[fair snow]

i am going for both

[west hornet]

i should hope any standalone mic is better than a headset

[fair snow]

ya my friends sayed it sounded trash but it was on a ps4 that was used and never cleaned

so ya

i hope it is okay

[timber ridge]

i got my quadcast gifted and its better than my old mic so i cant complain

[fair snow]

i think fomrula and bugha use it so ya

and it sounds fine

my question is should i return it for a btter one

[timber ridge]

the quadcast is more than enough for a gamer

[west hornet]

some popular streamers use crappy headset mics, just depends what you are satisfied with really

[fair snow]

okay

[timber ridge]

if youre jus using it for like coms, then p much any of the reputable usb mics will do

[fair snow]

cool

i am streaming

with it

[timber ridge]

itll be clear

[fair snow]

cool

how about for discord

[timber ridge]

its good

you know you can plug in earphones into right

and hear yourself

[west hornet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlF4-SiuA0M

[timber ridge]

imo the only downside to it is the gain knob isnt the best

[fair snow]

okay

[timber ridge]

but ik some ppl who set it to a certain gain once and never touch it again

[fair snow]

it fits with my setup when i finish my setup in like 4 months i will put a picture of it in here

i stil have yet to get my pc i am wating for 3080

[timber ridge]

same

a good thing about the quadcast is that its lighter than most of its competitors

so using it on a budget boom arm will be ez

[fair snow]

i have one

it is not the best at all

but cool

i also got my monitor

[timber ridge]

nice

[fair snow]

the vg259qm

[timber ridge]

1440p?

[fair snow]

nah

240 overclock to 280

[timber ridge]

o

[fair snow]

1080

ya i cant tell the diffrence from 1080 to 1440

and that lower fps

nah

[timber ridge]

you wont notice it on 24in but onna 27in you will

[fair snow]

i cant see 4k on my 74 inch tv

also it is 24 inch

the monitor

[cunning hearth]

fifine t669 good?

[fair snow]

question if i stream my face at 720 p is that okay

also should i have my backround be my door or my wall

[timber ridge]

i had it and its better than p much any gamer headset mic

[fair snow]

okay I love my headset the kraken razer I think the elite one or seomthing

[cunning hearth]

any better ones? for similar price? @timber ridge

[timber ridge]

i think thats as good as it gets at the price

i know fifine has another option that cost more

but its good too

[cunning hearth]

k

[normal barn]

@cunning hearth i checked on the gmk samurai

why is there more keys

but lesser price

75 keys = 65% = 95$

[cunning hearth]

huh?

[normal barn]

82 keys = 85 dollars

???

[cunning hearth]

uhh idk dont ask me to explain the pricing

[timber ridge]

prob bc ortho is not as common as 65%

[queen sigil]

durr

[normal barn]

oh

ortho is cheaper tho

[queen sigil]

if gmk kits are too rxpensive just get random sets on amazon

wtf

550 bucks wtf

[timber ridge]

half the price is 4 the logo

[swift lantern]

Suddenly, thx panda sales go up

[normal barn]

lol

thx pandas are a lot better

than that

[swift lantern]

From the picture they give, these look like they should cost $100

[normal barn]

"spacial audio"

"adjustive eq"

"crappy but we selling for 550"

[swift lantern]

"and you stupid idiots are actually gonna buy it lol"

[timber ridge]

apple is the only company that can get away with it

[swift lantern]

I wish they'd stop

I have a feeling only a small industry section and a fanboy group is what keeps them going

[timber ridge]

i mean, if i could release trash products at dumb prices and still have ppl buy it

ill continue doing that until i cant

[swift lantern]

Pain

[timber ridge]

a lot of apple users arent aware of modern tech

and what theyre missing out on or what other options are available

[mighty zodiac]

fax

[vernal plinth]

what to whom

I just got a machine to do that

[calm cobalt]

Where can I buy a 300hz gaming monitor?

[queen sigil]

ew 300hz

[normal barn]

ewwww

hi dino

u missed out on all of our apple airpods max trash talk

dino pov: who is this guy

[tacit wing]

Apple's ANC are actually pretty good and rivals that of the WF1000XM3's which are Sony's

although that price is not at all competitive

[normal barn]

@tacit wing the airpods max are 550.....

[west hornet]

Why they called AirPods lol

[normal barn]

thx pandas suddenly rise up in sales

lmao

[tacit wing]

those headphones has its crosshairs set on the WH1000XM4's which is the industry standard for consumer ANC cans

[west hornet]

I feel it will be compared with the pandas a lot

[normal barn]

dino pov: who is lord crimson stoneface

[timber ridge]

arent bose the standard ?

[normal barn]

...

wat

[tacit wing]

no lol

[normal barn]

no

...

who told u tat

[west hornet]

Also Dino: must be cholax

[tacit wing]

QC35's ANC are still decent

[normal barn]

LMAO

[timber ridge]

for anc cans

[normal barn]

@tacit wing why u getting ssps

[tacit wing]

Sony's just kicking everyones asses rn

in terms of ANC

[normal barn]

i mean

thx panda

gang gnag

[west hornet]

Bose has good pure anc

[tacit wing]

the thing about Pandas is that it sounds just as good BT as it is running off of an amp

the in-built amplification on it is S tier

DSP's

[tight pulsar]

pandas lame 6xx gang

[tacit wing]

but in terms of isolation, Sony leads the pack

[normal barn]

@tacit wing lets roast apple airpods max

[tacit wing]

also its easy to dump on Apple but they hit the nail on the head with the Airpods Pro, really the only wireless iem's that rival the WF1000XM3

no thats cringe

making fun of something thats not even out yet

althought that price is cringe

but lets not say its a bad product i mean cmon

[timber ridge]

i mean for 550, you better not be hearing anything at all

[tacit wing]

the competition is the WH1000XM4's which is a very high bar to clear

u can throw in the Pandas as well

one of the most biggest selling points of Apple's wireless audio is the seamlessness with iPhone users

if Apple can't beat Sony in ANC, those cans better be jammed packed with features, which the XM4's already has a load of them

[normal barn]

did u see

their

wesite

[tacit wing]

also AirPods Max sounds like a tampon product

[normal barn]

lmao ikr

[swift lantern]

@tacit wing difference between 400i and 4xx?

[tacit wing]

also that "Spatial Audio" is bs lmao

OKAAAAY thats a whole bunch of, what Kuzu would say, goobledydook

[timber ridge]

idk, its gonna be like 200+ more than its competitors

[tacit wing]

it sounds like copypasta

[swift lantern]

Malarkey detected

[normal barn]

IKR

"spacial audio"

[tacit wing]

i was really optimistic Apple would do something here, but the marketing of it is not looking good so far

[normal barn]

my ass

ikr

[tacit wing]

REMAPS SOUND FIELD IN RESPECTIVE TO HEAD MOVEMENTS

that paragraph can really pass as a copypasta

[swift lantern]

now if it had time of flight sensors to like, idk stop music when they go off your head, that would be something

I think there's a few bluetooth pairs that do that right?

[tacit wing]

yes WH1000XM4's

[swift lantern]

oh yeah but 400i vs 4xx

[tacit wing]

4xx has better bass response

[queen sigil]

BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT I NEED MY SURPOUND SOUDN FOR MY EPIC GAMING IRON VALORANT GAMERPLAEY

[tacit wing]

i was expecting Apple to cater to audiophiles, but looking at their product page, their main targets are still the general consumer

[swift lantern]

the general consumer with $550 to spend on headphones

🥴

[timber ridge]

youre paying like 250 for a logo

[tacit wing]

bc otherwise they wont put surround sound and that gimmicky spatial audio bs as a selling point

[swift lantern]

what's the highest I should go

[tacit wing]

yes

[swift lantern]

hmmm

it's gonna go over $100 I bet

anything that I want has a million people all clambering for it

[tacit wing]

i say 120 is the max i would pay for preowned 4xx

[swift lantern]

out of the two, I'd prefer to get this

at this point I'm wondering how I even managed to get my fiio e10k with a single bid

[normal barn]

get a ryzen 9 those are good for productvity

[swift lantern]

so is any ryzen

gonna bid $80 and just tell the seller "please 🥺 "

[tacit wing]

i wish i can help you more in comparison but i own neither both cans

[swift lantern]

of 400i vs 4xx?

[tacit wing]

yeah

[swift lantern]

no good deals on 400i anyway...

if I'm gonna get it off of EBAY it better be cheaper than 90% of asking price gosh darnit

[tacit wing]

JV did some conparisons in the end with the 4XX https://youtu.be/2Sd-pRr9dcs

[swift lantern]

which company does he simp for again

DMS is a sennheiser simp,

[tacit wing]

JV shills the Sundaras and Aryas lol

he loves them

[swift lantern]

riiight

man, I wish the sundaras didn't look like a plastic toy

plastic waffle iron

even though I know they're made of metal

[west hornet]

Their marketing is always toward general public with their vague claims it can be good as with the sketchy marketing of the m1 but we will have to see for ourself

Waffle iron is nice xD

[tacit wing]

i think that grille style is better imo that the cnc drilled holes

[normal barn]

lol

[normal barn]

LMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAO

[queen sigil]

hey dont tag me

man check it out wow it looks so cool

[normal barn]

LMAO

[west hornet]

Sometimes is the vintage stuff that look the best

[queen sigil]

dang im kind of a genius

[tacit wing]

i regret not getting the full bundle

[timber ridge]

told ya

[tacit wing]

[west hornet]

That do look pretty cool

[timber ridge]

im tempted to get a vr headset but dont know if its a good decsion

found a rift s for 200

[tacit wing]

yes

[timber ridge]

idk, i can lowkey do an audio upgrade for the same price

[tacit wing]

yes

[short trout]

I'm deciding between the razer blackshark vs the arctis 7 headsets

not too sure which one would be the better choice

[queen sigil]

the one on the far right looks like something I would see during a school hearing test

[normal barn]

i wanted to refund my quest 2 but walmart custo service computer sucks

[timber ridge]

whats wrong with it ?

[normal barn]

very tiny game library and not worth it

the gmaes dont appeal to me

[timber ridge]

o rip

[queen sigil]

if you dont like the games why would you get it to begin with

[last plinth]

not researching stuff before you buy

cholax moment

[queen sigil]

[tacit wing]

Blacksharks has better drivers but neither of them will get my money

[short trout]

ahh, which would be better?

like

what would be better than either?

Not sure if I can do a standalone mic with a microphone, I'm looking for something more portable since I'll be using it with my laptop in college

[tacit wing]

if youre in the market for a gaming headset, Drop PC38X

or PC37x

[queen sigil]

ah yes good advice went from wanting a 75$ headset to getting recommended 170$ headset

[short trout]

what

[tacit wing]

well i assume if he can afford an Arctis 7 he can get a 38x

[short trout]

my budget is 200

[queen sigil]

ah yes i see

[tight pulsar]

[queen sigil]

i shall go away

[short trout]

and the arctis 7 ain't 75

[queen sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/window-confused-papyrus-undertale-gif-16030509

[tacit wing]

pc38x it is, its better than half of the "gaming" cans out there

[queen sigil]

was thinking of blacksharks

[short trout]

ohh

[tacit wing]

the soundstaging is

[tight pulsar]

also i think you can make a new drop account and use the $20 off coupon for both of them so they would be 100/150

[tacit wing]

the only "gaming" headsets that i can get recc to from one of the peripheral giants are the HyperX Clouds and the CM MH751/752, which are just Takstar clones

[queen sigil]

guys get this 20$ off ez pz free 15$

[swift lantern]

hyperx got the best freqency response

lmao

[queen sigil]

I question some of the things drop sells

https://drop.com/buy/drop-craighill-square-ti-money-clip

Who buys this
