not to flex but
ah ok
and im p sure i have a defective unit
I suppose it's possible..
hey dino if I use an adapter from 2.5mm balanced to 4.4mm balanced am I still getting mucho balanced powaaa?
lance you got like 4 million "defective" keyboards come into your doorstep, your mic is trippin, now its the dac. im pretty sure this aint all a coincidence
your pc is stinky
Keqing best dps in game no kappa and she’s my waifu 
DINO
2.5, pentaconn 4.4, XLR they all the same
I'm just saying if I use an adapter from one type of balanced to another am I still getting the actual advantage of balanced
cuz there's very very few things that output 2.5mm
oh yeah balanced cable makers throw in adapters everytime its still balanced
yeah most balanced amps output pentaconn or XLR, 2.5 is the least common id say, its more prone to snapping off and people have that problem all the time
youd most often see 2.5 on like BT receivers and stuff
@timber ridge also the devs sometimes give free primo for compensation
if theres a game breaking bug or something like that, always check your mail
well the phantoms come with a 2.5mm balanced output
comes with a 3.5mm adapter and a 1/4inch
no 4.4, sadface

Josh explains it well
@tacit wing u spend money, no way u have that many 5 stars
Reason: Duplicated text
wait actually just 350
couldve got sundaras for that
I just dropped 100$ on a new 1tb ssd cause my hdd is dying and it’s my only drive. 
That’s the most I’ve spent on anything in a while
true that
Those tights though ;)

i spent like 200 dollars in total on CSGO cases and sold a knife for 800
LOL
out of any game, CSGO is the one to whale on
bc theres an actual market behind the in game cosmetics
@tacit wing what should i be buying with primogen or whatever
atleast Gaben updates our game
shes gonna be op once 1.3 goes live
i have C6 Noelle and shes my main tank and healer
who else you got
i should be buying intertwined fate with the thingy right
let me see your roster
the fates you use for the summons so yes, buy the fates with your primogems
should i use up my beginners discounts
wait you get free fates when youre new to the game
or go straight to the main banners
use on albedo banner
kk
two of the best 4 stars in the game now is actually the perfect time
i have like 5 of the fates for beginner banner and 0 for the albedo banner
im spinning for finalmouse
i keep forgetting to cahrge my mouse
*subtle flex

yea i'm currently just spamming tab to use my computer
aev, u dont have to use ur dock to charge u know
Viper Ultimate?

Honestly, when I get my Model O Wireless, I might get one of those USB C Magnetic Tip charging cables.
Why's that?
oh those are very nice
those are convinient
genshin is jus running simulator
unless I'm thinking about the wrong things
how many calories you burn @timber ridge
So I just leave the little magnetic tip thing in the USB-C port, and then when I need to charge I just magnet the cable end onto the USB-C end
ah
nicesu
I can get a pack of 3 Cables of that type for a whopping 17.99 off Amazon.
That's a worthwhile investment.
if they don't disintegrate that's a heck of a deal
everyone has different experiences of the same product
see it all the time
also can come down to manufacturing tolerances
Hmm, that one I found apparently has issues with the Magnetic end failing
Looks like it might be worth it to spring for a Volta cable.
Volta cables are 36 bucks normally, but they seem to be THE company for Magnetic Tip charging cables.
And, to boot they sell a White version.
And i'll be buying my Model O Wireless in White.
magnetic tip?

Basically you put a little USB-C or Lightning or Micro USB tip into your device, and then the cable itself has a magnet on it that when you get close to the tip will snap on and let your device charge.
It's basically like a worse version of Magsafe
But, if done right, can make charging devices significantly less stressful.
You just keep the tip in the device and haul around 1 cable.
interesting

genshin not worth
wym not worth, its free
Yeah, I'll probably get a Volta cable. It has a Lifetime guarantee, so if the tip or the cable breaks I get a new one.
And it does Fast Charge.
So, I can use 1 tip with my phone, and 1 tip with my Model O Wireless
https://www.amazon.com/Geekria-Balanced-Gold-Plated-NW-ZX300A-TA-ZH1ES/dp/B0751B7PTS/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=2.5+to+4.4+balanced&qid=1608693676&sr=8-3 imma get this for an amp at some point
if we actually get that stimulus guess some of that can go towards amp 
Jebus, that's an expensive converter.
You really don't need a "gold plated" audio jack.
They use such little amounts of gold to plate the jack it does basically nothing.
bro have you ever like
shopped for things
it's $8 minimum to convert any thing into any other thing
at least on amazon
It's less than that if you make the converter yourself!
no
And, if you make it yourself, it doesn't just have to be a dongle, it can be a converter cable!
missions are not epic at all
what missions have you played
When I get my HE-400i 2020's I'll probably splurge and get a Zen DAC and Balanced cable too
@sly warren
@sly warren
@sly warren
@sly warren
you havent covered enough content to be judging anything tbh
probably
but first impressions, literally jus running back and forth
Yeah, until you unlock teleporters it does kinda suck
your energy bar or whatever you call it is lowkey too short
sprint for 5 sec then youre exhausted
lance have yo played any open world RPG's like Skyrim or something
like is it your first game that has a stamin bar lol
ye but skyrim felt more rewarding
Skyrim is literally bigger than this map wym
like the rewards
Skyrim has zero bad waifus
wym rewards
only the kaeya dude
Running is annoying
Oh, for the sprint, just use Right CLick every couple seconds
Don't use full blown shift sprint
For awhile I had teleports but didn’t know what they were so I didn’t use xD
Genshin borrows so much from other games for it to be boring i dont understand
like when i first played it i had dejavus of BoTW, Assassin's Creed, Skyrim u name it
I mostly just enjoy it because it pretty and I love the soundtrack
Yes, music is pog
theres new music in Dragonspine area
its my fav so far
i like it more than the Stone Forest music
music is pog 4sure
ive never touched tf2 b4
what switch description is that
ur blind
i am
ugh eboys
i havent played league inna while
i kinda wanna play it again, but idk if its worth
yea aram isn't epic either, you get pentas a lot but you also get bad champs sometimes. and sometimes toxic people but not as often as norms/ranked
yea pretty much
but its fine to pass the time/chill
other games are too sweaty imo like big games
who do u main
can't really sweat in aram
You sure can
uh i used to main support in general but i took a break from league and now just play w/e lane
i have like 3k ranked games between janna/nami/soraka though
i spammed like5 champs bc i found it boring playing any other champ
well if you wanna play again you gotta kinda relearn items
i remember morgana and teemo being fun
i main lee and zed so i dont really benefit from the item update
League bad
yes
zed shadows break necks
Makes me sad because the character development I liked and the cinematics and music fantastic but gameplay meh and community very bad
i'm not ready to play wow though so i just had to suffer ;;
i got the itch to play league again
i have to listen to classical music while playing lmao
you must be a savant or smth
i play league jus for the outplays
what about genshin
everyone playing genshin u should join them
dont play boomer games w/ me
genshin not my cup of tea
Haha
whats up henny
dino did you summon on the new banner yet
yes
Watching some twitch or than that nothing
any luck ?
none at all, i used all my luck when i pulled Zhongli and Qiqi back to back last banner
with gacha games, you get lucky on one banner then get shafted on 2
v.v I have trash luck with gacha's
3+ and 3
i might go that route tbh
atom looks like a decent option but build quality seems ehh
magni outputs more power
atom scales better with something like the 6xx
or any 6x0 tbh
if im looking for balanced id go for topping
but any beginner stack its gotta be either atom or schiit stack
return the Zen
im doing that most def
i get so much static sounds
might go the dark route and get the heresy and dark modi
the bass boost button is so op tho ngl
gonna order the g pro superlight ill let u know when i get it
gl
tmrw tho cuz my parents sleepin
think I'm just gonna have to get a topping a50 or a50s
50s is goated
you gonna get an apple dongle too ?
goated
rn my two picks are either schiit or topping
not like it matters but I do not like the schiit aesthetic
with all them nordic names I'm expecting a dang rune somewhere
cmonn
I think it's clean but topping lcd screen looks cool ngl
I could do magmi 3+ and l30 or whatever dac from topping
Remember, dac not so important
ye ik
who gave him nitro
i duno
vibing to kishi bashi rn

wgat that
PepeJam
what happened to all of the images

wooo yea babey
that artist is stephen btw
makes some fantastic stuff
ok last ones
the last one is nice in the middle lol
none 
idc abt audio quality

uses soundcloud for everything
a lot of the music im into rn is mp3 only too 
mp3 lossy
im getting more into hyperpop rn

i really like that stray nights one
and sc is great but a lot of the stuff is only uploaded in mp3
stephen is godlike
ill dm u his discography 
mk
gimme like 20 mins my cdn is being mean

What are some good TKL keyboards for under 150 usd
First, this is the wrong channel for that, second; Sleeved Cables on a PSU is an aftermarket addon for Modular PSUs.
@sly warren wronf channel for wat
Welp, the guy must have retracted his question
Oh, you got your account back
Or did you?

What are some good headsets for under 150? Wired and Wireless are ok
Headset Bad
Headphones + Microphone good
https://www.amazon.com/Samson-SR850-Semi-Open-Back-Reference-Headphones/dp/B002LBSEQS This is what I started my quest for good audio
Or shp9500 or smthn + fifine t669
SHP9500's are not a great pair of cans...
Yeah, if HE-400i 2020's weren't already 150 themselves.
Lmao
I can go like 200
Honestly just get a pc37x @latent hull
Why theyre good
I owned them.
I longed for something more sound-stagey
Their 3D positional audio was mediocre at best.
Well @latent hull what r u using it for
Gaming and watching youtube
400i's have a bigger stage and better positional
https://prnt.sc/w8lnjv 400i graph
https://prnt.sc/w8lnro 58X graph
Eh both are good headphones
I'd say the 58X's are a little flatter, but the sharper rolloff in the bass of the 400i's will help drown out the booms and blasts and help you pinpoint better, also being Planar Magnetic means the 3D audio should be significantly better.
freq response preference, hard for someone not too invested in audio to know what they want
Dozenth, what kind of music do you listen to most often?
Yes, but not everyone likes IEMs jammed in their ears for long periods of time.
pretty bassy stuff
Hmm.
for music that but will mostly game, talk on discord, and watch youtube
I would recommend a flat headphone for Gaming, and a V shape for listening to music if you like bassy
x2lr
I will be mostly gaming so music will come last in the list
No.
and save the 40$
I really don't recommend the PC37X's
why?
After having had them for a year, I was like "These sound really bland and have no positional audio whatsoever"
....
I replaced them with a pair of M50X's and the positional audio on them is amazing, and they are fun to listen to.
And, my next pair of headphones will be either a pair of Grados, or HE400i 2020's
Yes.
lol its fun lurking here
Most people would rather probably have a Modmic
50x is only a bit better
im deaf as hell so none of it matters to me
The Modmic Uni is frankly excellent.
v moda are better
but its cool seeing ppl talk abt crazy hw u know nothing about, reminds me of what ppl new to PC parts must feel 
Really liking the porta with yaxi so far
And if you're going to recommend X2HR's then you might as well recommend AKG's
Yuck, Porta Pros
those look not the comfiest
The only on-ears i'll ever consider buying is Grados
they are actually surprisingly comfortable, extremely light
JESUS
ive had issues with on ear before but these i can barely feel on my head
What is this graph
i just got comfy headphones with anc
and thats the most effort i put into headphones
This graph looks hideous
nice upper bass
ended up with qc25s and they sound good and let me keep them on for 10hrs at a time
That graph makes me want to 🤮
as i said freq response preference so some people out there probably like it ¯_(ツ)_/¯
just looking at graphs is a bleak view of judging headphones
I am so lost right now lol
ears validate graphs, not the other way around. they just keep us honest
sorry dozenth did you need help with something?
Like, I think I'd rather use Airpods Pros before even touching Porta Pros
bruh
I am trying to find a headset or mic and headphone set for 150-200 max
At least the boost on Airpods Pros is inthe mids.
for gaming and watching youtube
the porta pros to my ears have some harsh peeks(i am still evaluating) but they are amazing for the cost
ATH-M40X + Modmic Uni is an excellent combo
honestly id use airpods if i found them cheap
If you want Openback, then HE-400i 2020's and a Modmic Uni
Vmoda is garbage mic.
No.
dont trouble urslef
should i clean out my flac collection more
up to 200 id say perhaps a sennheiser pc38x @latent hull you can research all of our suggestions further on your own if you feel confused, some headphone reviews include dms, z reviews, joshua valour, and more
last time i got rid of all my japanese music
@stoic solar can u send some of ur most recommedned musci here
After having used actually GOOD headphones, looking back at the PC37X's I used for a year they were mediocre at best.
cholax is thirsty for flacs
get some moondrop blessing 2
fine cholax gimme a song name and ill drop it here

thats bc you like flat cans Skip
if i have it
level of concern
by?
some of yall are making garbo suggestions rn and i dont wanna point it out
high hope by panic
ur garbo
Level of Concern is 21 Pilots, High Hopes is Panic At the Disco
the only thing i wish for the porta pros is that they had a bit more mids, and the yaxi pads seem to develop the bass a bit more and smooth out some of the harsh peaks for me. overall I am loving them, should've found them sooner when i was using cheap headphones
Yaxi PP's are S tier
how much did you get the porta pros for ghost?
no better soundstage for the money
Honestly, I'm kinda hype to try Grados when I can get the money set aside for a pair.
46usd for porta pros, kph30i, and ksc75, 12usd for yaxi pad @tight pulsar
nice
i hope my brother will like
probably gonna give him the kph
And even if I don't like grados as my main headphones, I'd probably use them with my Oculus Quest.
🤔
but walmart custo serveice sucks
why?
i have like
Why do you want to refund it though?

why don't you like just curious

someone got some random love
if u love me buy a vps from me 
@stoic solar i lov u
theyre fun :)))
like 75/year
lmao the flex on an gummyworm mount alu half plate vs sandwich mount stainless steel full plate
vps as in vm?
this thing doesnt move at all
yep
Ty @normal barn
So should I go for the PC37x or the ATH-M40x + ModMic Uni?
can host a site or smth on it
ATH-M40X + Modmic Uni
i love u lili
I have the M50X's and a Modmic Uni, the M40X's are nearly the same headphone
Also, for the M40X's you will want to replace the earpads.
to what?
Give me a moment.
POG
i take paypal 
https://www.amazon.com/Brainwavz-Philips-Replacement-Earpads-Headphones/dp/B00MFDT894?ref_=ast_sto_dp I recommend Brainwavz pads for most replacement earpads.
The stock pads for a large majority of people are not thick enough.
AT's pleather material is pretty booty
That too
they flake off within a few months
yea i have a box in an LA datacenter
work with this great company :))
Eventually if I go to something like a microphone and xlr system what do you recommend for a starting setup for later down the road say another 200 will keep the m40x
If you want to go XLR Mic later.
https://www.amazon.com/BEHRINGER-Audio-Interface-1-Channel-UM2/dp/B00EK1OTZC/ref=sr_1_3
and
https://www.amazon.com/Samson-Handheld-Microphone-Recording-Podcasting/dp/B001R747SG/ref=sr_1_3
Is an excellent combo
You could even just outright buy the Q2U and use it as a USB Mic
o God not the UM2
The UM2 is the only reasonably priced interface.
i say its so much worth investing a lil bit more for a umc22
the preamps on the UM2 are pretty bad and its EMI city
i have it and its just collecting dust
Can't even find a UMC22
yes
thats the bare minimum id say for an XLR interface
if budget doesnt allow it, youre better off with the preamps of a USB mic lol
How's the DAC on the UMC22?
yes
For the Headphone output
I had a UM2 for awhile, and the headphone output was a bit noisy.
I assume the UMC22 does not have the same problem?
id say theres always going to be noise in non-dedicated DAC
Gotcha.
My current "endgame" is probably going to be a HE400i 2020 with some sort of Balanced output DAC
so eventually down the line I will be with the M40x + UMC22 + Samson Q2U. Is that good?
Yeah, and eventually you will probably be like "I wonder what other headphones sound like" and will eventually ask yourself "should I get a DAC and Amp?" And then you'll end up with like, a couple thousand dollars worth of audio equipment.
Idk about that bro
lol
also kuzu i feel bad
im p sure i did have that artist u wanted
but its long gone now 
lesson learned, not gonna clean stuff out anymore lul
this might be a weird question but are there any boom arms that you would recommend
Just buy the cheapest one you can get off Amazon
🥺
and im in trackers why would i need streaming services
plz lili

nut
u will have my eternal luv
tell us ur supplier

How do you get into the trackers hmm?
idk if i say um2 is reasonably priced, it just dirt cheap, it works sometimes but has some flaws
ratio
i smell illegal activities tsk tsk
Mmmm
Ratio
yea not saying any more
you can buy flac
just buy what u like
i support artists by buying their merch and tickets sales back when concerts were a thing
why is it that every morning i get tagged at least once in this channel
@queen sigil daily reminder of Keychron
leopold and kechron or you can try and go custom
yes
@queen sigil btw first complaint of keychron, outer border thing so thicc the switch puller doesn't fit
huh
I can take pic
really?
hm okay
can i see the pic of the switch puller ur using
yeah apparently taeha types got a really cheap one while the one I ordered had a decent one
so idk
yeah thats that one i got
usually just put the bottom side in first then get the top
is there an orthodox way to pull the bottom row out?
Because I can go at it from an angle and do it
but feels a bit wonky
just put the bottom side of the puller in first then the top
that usually works for me
use a hammer to pry them out
^^
ah yes the nail puller side
ill use my knife
based
ook it actually works
i use 3d printed keycap puller
yes

@sly warren since the Q2U can be used as a usb microphone should I still go for the ModMic at first or should I go for the Q2U and get the umc22 later?
ayo STARFIELDS
ok

what did u even dl

im listening to the flattest sont ive ever heard but the rapper goes stupid fast for soundcloud
for some reason
tidal wont allow me to downlaod songs now
???
on their desktop
ap
read docs?
also their site is so pretty

Uhh I’m not really sure downloading from streaming services is allowed
...
but it also heavily violates both TOS and also
after tidal updated
i couldn downlaod songs

i like their site tho

There were just updates on dmca and streaming laws
distancing myself from this
button dissapear

what updates
I don’t think update rather just new laws and regulations being put in place making it considered a felony and such
Monody is nice
I haven’t listened to fatrat in a while I should get back to him

The law concerning streaming that's embedded in the new stimulation package is aimed at streaming for profit. Most people that host streaming software like Plex don't make any money from it.

im fine
Plex life
Tbh I been downloading movies to Plex, but only because my player broke and still waiting for new one so I can’t play my dvds and blu rays
plex sucks but same concept yea
All my things break, I need new vinyl player and now I need new blu ray

my friends all gave in 5$ and bought me it

These arrived early
nothing
Basically what I expected but definitely worth it and beyond good for earbuds
Just found how reasonable some KBDfans prebuilts are in price
Literally the best earbuds I have heard
Like with the Bose pads they sound stage well and I would consider above average even for a full headset in the price with the sense of size and scale to things imaging in the sound stage that high end planars and almost all estats seem to be able to achieve (which isn't surprising as it is an estat)
Reason: Bad word usage
It is a bit bright but not like a 990 which is just torture
It tbh is like an hd800 in how highs sound. Not as in detail but in how harsh it is (so not harsh but like a bit brighter than I like)
But it has bass (with the Bose pads) unlike the hd800

hm im selling a board and somebody offered a heavily modded hhkb with novatouch sliders, a hasu pcb, and 55g domes 🤔
dino i think ima go the schiit route
yes
it dae only way
i honestly wouldnt throw my money in any 2-in-1 no matter how good they are, seperate units are always the way
you know what else is seperate?
a lotta ppl say the dac portion of the zen is nice
but idk, i might mix it up, but the schiit looks really nice
i could do like heresy and e30 or whatever topping has
