No Idea what the f ohms mean

[sly warren]

ohms is an electrical concept for Resistance.

The more Ohms a pair of headphones requires, the beefier your source needs to be.

[tacit wing]

hyperX did some tuning and put their coat of paint on it

[golden bear]

ah

[sly warren]

Most Gaming Headsets are pretty low impedance (low ohms)

[golden bear]

is like

[timber ridge]

ic

[strange ridge]

dino what model are those exactly curious to see what those cost

[golden bear]

250 ohms the limit for most mobos

[sly warren]

Audiophile gear can range from low impedance to stupid high impedance.

[golden bear]

or like

[tacit wing]

Pro 80

[timber ridge]

arent takstars clones of dt770 tho

i may be wrong

[sly warren]

I'd say... like, 100 to 150 depending on the motherboard.

[golden bear]

Ok

[sly warren]

Some super high end motherboard might be able to do 250

If you go to 300 ohms or beyond, you will want a dedicated Amplifier and DAC (Digital to Analog Converter)

And most motherboard DAC outputs are not terribly clean

That's why I recommend the Apple USB-C to 3.5mm dongle

It has a Cirrus Logic DAC that is about as clean as you can get

For how cheap it is at least.

[tacit wing]

i have zero patience dealing with Realtek audio

[golden bear]

the x570- version of my mobo claims a limit of 600 ohms

[timber ridge]

holy

[sly warren]

LOL That's a BOLD claim

[timber ridge]

some amps struggle with 600ohm

[tacit wing]

also having your audio outside of you mobo makes it less susceptible to EMI

[sly warren]

Yeah that too

[golden bear]

\

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1489703-REG/msi_mpg_x570_gaming_edge.html I have the b550, def lower but like

this looked interesting

[sly warren]

A Schiit Stack (Magni and Modi) can help people who have high-end GPUs (RTX cards are definitely prone to a lot of EMI noise)

[timber ridge]

if you have trash onboard audio and get an amp, its jus gonna amplify trash lol

[sly warren]

And the Apple Dongle can also help a bit too, it just isn't going to filter out EVERYTHING

[golden bear]

I don't think I have trash onboard audio

[timber ridge]

ik, i was js

the dac is basically a filter

cleans up ur audio

[sly warren]

I wouldn't call it trash, I'd probably call it "Good for motherboard, bad in terms of a DAC and Amp"

I'd kill to have the money to drop on a pair of T1's and that X570 motherboard to test their "600 Ohm Headphone" claim

[golden bear]

lol

[timber ridge]

i wasnt speaking specifically about his mobo, i was talking about in general

[river ginkgo]

So I’m looking for suggestions of wireless headphones or headsets for 75-100USD. Any suggestions?

[golden bear]

lmao

[sly warren]

Wireless for 75 to 100 bucks?

Are you trying to ask for miracles?

[timber ridge]

o

[golden bear]

is there any good 150 wireless

[timber ridge]

he can do iems with a wireless cable

[sly warren]

Buy a pair of cans and a FIIO BTR5

https://www.amazon.com/FiiO-BTR5-384K-Bluetooth5-0-Headphone-Unbalanced/dp/B07ZK3M6XK

[river ginkgo]

That’s what I was wondering. If I would save or if there were some worth my while

[sly warren]

It's 109 bucks, but it'll take any old cans and you can use them wirelessly.

Or if you want the cheap option, QCY T5's

They are pretty good, the mic quality is a bit meh though.

[strange ridge]

that thing looks chonky lol

[sly warren]

It's actually quite small

[strange ridge]

thats good pics do look a bit big

[river ginkgo]

So basically save for awhile. Thank you

[timber ridge]

maybe something like this https://www.amazon.com/MEE-Professional-Bluetooth-Resistance-Microphone/dp/B07TN2HJYH/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3TSDVA0FG3USV&dchild=1&keywords=iem+bluetooth+adapter&qid=1609728776&refinements=p_72%3A1248879011&rnid=1248877011&s=electronics&sprefix=iem+blue%2Celectronics%2C214&sr=1-4

and some budget iems

tin t2s, zs10 pros, blon 05s

[sly warren]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAevLnhaU68&t

[timber ridge]

or even blon 03

[river ginkgo]

Thank you.

[timber ridge]

those arent 2 pin tho

so youd have to make sure the pins match the specs on ur iem

[sly warren]

I'd watch the video I posted.

He forgot Koss headphones... but... I forgive him

And... I wouldn't do critical listening on Grados.

They are far too tinny

[golden bear]

obsessed

[tacit wing]

some things aren't accessible in Australia

their audio market is kinda cheeks

[golden bear]

im gonna buy msi headphones agan'

[queen sigil]

wait why

[tacit wing]

[timber ridge]

u have an emote for everything

[sly warren]

Also he's wrong about the Apple Lightning Dongle not "doing anything for the sound"

[queen sigil]

its just alot of fish emotes

[golden bear]

im jokihng I am just difficult

I am stubborn and want senheissers lmao

[timber ridge]

[golden bear]

ikik

[timber ridge]

but i get it

im like that with some things

[golden bear]

im like that with mobos too

and kinda with gpus, just care about nvidia

[queen sigil]

u are very stubborn I have learned

[golden bear]

With?

[timber ridge]

i learned not to be in order to get a 3000 card

[swift lantern]

https://tenor.com/view/doom-eternal-doom-glory-kill-hell-knight-gif-18709596

[timber ridge]

i couldnt complain about mobo bc my gf got mine

and its p good so gg

[golden bear]

keep her

[timber ridge]

yeye

got a x570 tuf wifi lol

[golden bear]

not bad not bad

[tacit wing]

audio youtube reviewers spew some misinformation sometimes

[queen sigil]

this is why none of us are ever going to become a techie

[timber ridge]

lmao

[stoic solar]

except me

[sly warren]

I mean, Dankpods is a little bit better than most audio youtube reviewers.

And he isn't tone deaf like z reviews

[tacit wing]

my gf got me a whole lot of money, bc if i had one i sure wouldn't have any

[timber ridge]

gacha game and gf

youd be homeless

[tacit wing]

ok i spent 0 dollars on this banner so far and i got Albedo anyway so thats pog

[timber ridge]

idk how ppl make the money to be whales on gacha games

[tacit wing]

no gf

[timber ridge]

nvm, you jus solved the mystery

[queen sigil]

i got jean on my 90th roll

on character banner

and Then after like 60 rolls I gave up

and stopped playing

[tacit wing]

thats tough luck lmao

the only reason why im a dolphin is because my luck is decent

[queen sigil]

Got 1 5star

out of all my rolls

unboxing was fun

the grind

not so much

[tacit wing]

my best luck was getting Zhongli on a 10 roll, and right after i did one roll on standard banner and got Qiqi

summoning do be addicting ngl

but building characters/resource management what makes the game fun for me

[timber ridge]

bruh you ever jus spend money on a banner

get shafted and play it off like its ok

[tacit wing]

yeah i spent 50 dollars on Childe banner and got nothing

[timber ridge]

pain

[tacit wing]

thats my worst luck

ever since then i never got pity

[tight pulsar]

imagine not spending ur money on $5 indie games on steam

[tacit wing]

im good

i support the indie scene by buying stuff on bandcamp sometimes

also i only play games with tons of replay value

[sly warren]

Play Monster Hunter World then

[tacit wing]

alot of Genshin players came from Monster Hunter but i never played it. it looks interesting

most of the math players lol

[sly warren]

Monster Hunter is an amazing franchise

It's basically Dark Souls before Dark Souls existed.

Although, it's a bit less soul crushing

[tacit wing]

does it have a resource management system

[timber ridge]

i wanted to get into monsterhunter but felt like its too late

[sly warren]

What do you mean?

[tacit wing]

like do you collect stuff and make your stuff better, that kind of mechanic

[sly warren]

Oh, yes.

You fight monsters to get parts from them, and you use the parts to make new gear.

[tacit wing]

oh well ill most likely like it

[sly warren]

If you have a Switch you can get Generations Ultimate

Which is an excellent game

It's kindof the "culmination" of the first four Monster Hunter titles.

[timber ridge]

is it co op?

[neon quartz]

Skiptrace#4386 has been warned

Reason: Duplicated text

[sly warren]

WTF?

Oh

Yes

Very much so

Older games had a split between Co-Op and Singleplayer

[timber ridge]

o nice

i might look into it

[sly warren]

but World (And likely Rise on the Switch) has no separation

[tacit wing]

Skip do you know Jinx and Tuner?

[sly warren]

World is on PC, and is the first game on PC to make it to the west.

Who?

[tacit wing]

they do MHW videos back then

o nvm

[sly warren]

The 2 Monster hunter youtubers I know are Arekkz Gaming and Gaijin Hunter

Arekkz did World/Iceborne content

Gaijin Hunter is more into the portable MH games (Gen U, 4U, and Rise when that launches)

[timber ridge]

bruh i bought anthem at launch

biggest mistake

[tacit wing]

whats that

[timber ridge]

i took anthem over mh

[tacit wing]

is it like a No Man's Sky situation

[sly warren]

You made the big fail

[timber ridge]

its like a mixture of destiny and mh but failed

[sly warren]

Anthem was meant to be Destiny but from Bioware

[timber ridge]

it could be a good game

but gg

[sly warren]

Monster Hunter World came out a year earlier and was even a bit gimped on PC launch.

But, that was due to capcom being immature at PC dev

[timber ridge]

i still enjoy it but barely anyone plays and there isnt enough

theyre suppose to revamp anthem tho

2.0 soon

[sly warren]

For context, Monster Hunter World is Capcom's Best Selling Game of ALL TIME.

And the Iceborne DLC outsold Street Fighter 2's original release

[timber ridge]

anthem cant be a good game bc they have too many projects on their hands

[sly warren]

Holy crap. Generations Ultimate out-sold Devil May Cry 5

Monster Hunter is quite literally Capcom's biggest franchise now.

[timber ridge]

the only game im looking forward to that isnt coming out til who knows when is gta 6

[tacit wing]

looking forward to TES VI

[sly warren]

7 of the top 20 best selling Capcom games, are Monster Hunter titles.

[tacit wing]

and CSGO Source 2

[timber ridge]

o i forgot about tes vi

that too

[sly warren]

So, you are looking forward to a big goose egg?

Seriously, at this point I think TES VI is just going to be a new version of Elder Scrolls Online.

Although... who just bought Bethesda?

[tacit wing]

we know nothing about it tho

[sly warren]

Was it Microsoft?

Did Microsoft buy Zenimax?

They did.

That's right.

I wouldn't put it past Microsoft to push TES VI to be a new ESO.

The Fallout Dev Team has been actually working on making Fallout 76 not a bad game.

And, for the most part it has worked to some extent.

Fallout 76 isn't an utter trash pile like it used to be.

[tacit wing]

scuffest launch from Bethesda

[sly warren]

Ehhh...

[tacit wing]

but im optimistic about TES

[sly warren]

ESO was pretty scuffed from what I remember.

And, Fallout 4 was pretty bad too

[tacit wing]

i like Fallout 4, the story not so much tho

[sly warren]

To put the channel vaguely back on topic.

https://i.redd.it/hnplsfuza6961.jpg

This was at someone's local Microcenter

[queen sigil]

yes someone saw the same pic

in general

also who cares about the topic of this channel

[stoic solar]

oh my god

i found the worst bass ive ever heard in a song

https://soundcloud.com/futuredeadphone/charli-xcxsophie-blow-your-mind-remix

[tacit wing]

oof i mightve caught a bogus flac

[stoic solar]

i immediately checked if it was one of the ones from me wtf is wrong with me

[tacit wing]

@west hornet what u think

is there a possibility that a song could just peak at around 20K and doesnt utilize those higher frequencies

since mp3 peaks at 20k

[west hornet]

cut off around 20khz and the upper freqs around 1:10-1:35 look fishy to me. its possible unless that's how it was recorded for whatever reason

[stoic solar]

seems weird

idk if morrowind even had a flac soundtrack

could b wrong tho

[west hornet]

that's another possibility. never lossless released so someone just transcoded to flac anyway. still a waste if you are getting mp3 quality

[tacit wing]

i thought general release music has flac format as a standard but some releases are just restrained to mp3?

bruh

that lil line is past 20k POG

[swift lantern]

cant hear past 20k tho so what does that indicated exactly

[tacit wing]

nothing this is all just bs

[daring zenith]

flac

[tacit wing]

even tho my ears cant hear it i would just like to know if theres material that was loss

[west hornet]

its all just a dream

[swift lantern]

they sent me the link for return label!!1

[stoic solar]

but muh .flac filename

[west hornet]

true don't want one random mp3 in there xD

[timber ridge]

which kit did u get

i think corsair has some nice one, but I dont really have any experience with their strips

i had phanteks strips in my last build

now i dont use any

jus have my fans light up my case

i jus have budget rgb fans set to white

i think i have a pic, lemme bring it up

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B088FGZ5RF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

thats what i bought

they changed the hud and controller

but it should be the same

np

it supports aura sync etc, jus make sure you have spare rgb headers

i dont so i jus have it set to static white

@stoic solar youre actually so goated

i jus unzipped the playlist

[stoic solar]

❤️

lmk if want more

[timber ridge]

how much do you have lmao

[stoic solar]

everything

[timber ridge]

tbh idek what i want

[queen sigil]

the real reason lili has servers

[timber ridge]

try to hide from rap

most of what i listen to is hyperpop atm

[timber ridge]

oof

i have a lot of flips that my friends created n stuff

[stoic solar]

lmao

also got into jean dawson recently

[timber ridge]

jugg is kinda similar to glitchpop but not as upbeat

and its more uh

[stoic solar]

kinda vibes

[timber ridge]

wide

[stoic solar]

yeah ive listened to some

[daring zenith]

weeb music is good music

[timber ridge]

ooo

have u seen rezero

[stoic solar]

this jams lance

https://soundcloud.com/user-791376834-59062678/drake-x-odesza

[timber ridge]

i use to listen to hyperpop back in the day

then i kinda transitioned out of it

[stoic solar]

most of it is trash asf

[timber ridge]

you listen to glitchpop right

[stoic solar]

but yeah i guess im more into pop if i had to pick a genre

a little bit

[timber ridge]

this kinda falls into it

https://soundcloud.com/lil4c/weluvurgirl

my friend produced that

[stoic solar]

ooooo

[timber ridge]

hes lilac btw

[stoic solar]

oooo not bad

im kinda going on an edm binge rn

[strange ridge]

IM HAVING FUN

[queen sigil]

imagine listening to night core

[stoic solar]

based

[timber ridge]

mixed matches has a lot of bangers

vocaloid was op

i remember like uh elementary school listening to bangers

[stoic solar]

i remember i had the entire miku discog

i think i purged it when i got rid of all my japanese music

[west hornet]

Vocaloid strange but some of it I actually listened to. Not much with miku tho

[stoic solar]

@timber ridge idk if ull like but here

everything bangs when u cant criticize the lyrics

yeah im like that with most songs

only genre i rly listen hard to is country

not like

commercialized country

but the real stuff

i like that stuff

https://youtu.be/eR04x5XXAwQ

this is one of my all time fave songs

mostly cause i know a lot abt the guy

i hate every country artist besides him

lmao

im immune by enjoying everything equally

[timber ridge]

rommy ima sauce some weeb bangers inna bit

[west hornet]

Degenerate

[stoic solar]

my japanese music collection was kil (by me) but i still have some stuff lance

if u want weeb bangers in crispy quality

it makes me so mad

so like

the channel that vid is from right

gemsonvhs

they are STELLAR at field recordings

0 studio

all the stuff they do sounds better than studio recordings

[west hornet]

Same because I play muse dash and ddlc

[stoic solar]

but the yt bitrate

[golden bear]

is the PXC 550-II good for gaming

nvm

is the EPOS | Sennheiser GSP 370

gfood

[strange ridge]

||ur40||

[golden bear]

no

lmao

[timber ridge]

how much is the gsp 370 listed for ?

[strange ridge]

164???

[timber ridge]

mmm

youre coming close to dt880s, 400i 2020s and 4xx prices

[strange ridge]

https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwj5gpTNzoHuAhXxIK0GHVdVCqwYABAFGgJwdg&ae=2&sig=AOD64_2aA8zsF97wVgxXlFcDb8Z0Vf8kdA&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwjp34zNzoHuAhVxJDQIHc_NBCMQ9aACegQIChBB&adurl=

right

[tacit wing]

amp is definitely needed for mid-fi planars (eg. 4xx, 400i) so its not really less than 200 dollars

a dongle also nullifies the innate detail of a planar so thats a no go

[strange ridge]

so what makes flacs good

[tacit wing]

its lossless

[stoic solar]

theyre cute

[tacit wing]

and the freq resp. peaks beyond 20K which mp3, does

[strange ridge]

ohh really

[timber ridge]

dino can you check if thats a real flac

[strange ridge]

but larger file sizes im assuming or else why isnt the main audio file

[tacit wing]

yes its legit, but this record is recorded poorly my GOD

[timber ridge]

lit

[tacit wing]

a BRICK WALL if ive ever seen one LMAO

[timber ridge]

im collecting weeb bangers rn

jus got renei collection

circulation*

[tacit wing]

monogatari?

aye i got that jawn too

[timber ridge]

yup

[golden bear]

so would the gsp 370 and the dt880s be good

[timber ridge]

i jus got the whole playlist

album *

[tacit wing]

id go dt880 route

[golden bear]

its 200 rn

[tacit wing]

and id get the 38x over those GSP's

[timber ridge]

oh fallen

[golden bear]

and i dont want to buy the mixers

[timber ridge]

i got links for dt880s

[golden bear]

lmao im back

[timber ridge]

its wonky

lemme link

🙂

dino do you still want wap flac?

[tacit wing]

lili posted it last night

[golden bear]

Do I need an external thing too?

[strange ridge]

so those need an amp

or dac

[timber ridge]

ogg

is there anything you want, i might be able to nab it

[tacit wing]

880's can run off a dongle

[strange ridge]

the apple one

[timber ridge]

250ohm dont need an amp

but will perform better with one

[golden bear]

I cant pay for an amp

so would then the 38x

be better

[tacit wing]

to make the most out of your headphones, its always recommended to drive them with a dedicated dac+amp

[timber ridge]

in the long run, the dt880s will be a better pick

[tacit wing]

but most will run off dongle

[golden bear]

how long will they expect to last

[tacit wing]

that said, planars off a dongle sounds like doodoo

[golden bear]

Can I use theheadset for the next like

6 years

[tacit wing]

if you dont plan to get a dedicated desktop dac+amp, youre better off with dynamic headphones like the DT's or Sennheisers

[golden bear]

i dont plan to

[stoic solar]

wap flac s tier

[golden bear]

so the 38x or the880s

[tacit wing]

if you take care of stuff and not be a pepega yes

[golden bear]

ofc im gonna take care of em lmao

[timber ridge]

did i miss the wap sauce

[tacit wing]

lili posted it last night

[timber ridge]

gg

ill nab it

ill sauce act up in return

[golden bear]

is the 37x that much worsde than a 38x

[tacit wing]

no

[golden bear]

like is the 38x justifyable

[tacit wing]

its just an update

[golden bear]

over a 37x

[tacit wing]

imagine this

its like the last gen iPhone and the current gen iPhone

[golden bear]

k cause its $50 dif

[tacit wing]

apply that logic to thhat headset

[golden bear]

so if i were to get a pc

[golden bear]

i would get the 37x

ill do research between the dt880s and the pc37x, ty tho

for all my annoying qquestions and ignorance lmao

[tacit wing]

the DT's are much better cans

but if you need a headset then go ahead

[strange ridge]

me waiting on my headset to die to buy ur40's and paint them if i like em

[stoic solar]

i will slap the whole album in here dont test me lance

[golden bear]

ill see cause if the ohms is too much thats not good

and the price diff

[timber ridge]

i got the album playing rn

its a banger

[tacit wing]

impedance isnt everything

[golden bear]

A Headset isnt bad tho cause my fifine is kinda doodoo

ill contemplate my optionsc cause i dont need to pay for the pc37x

[strange ridge]

what fifine do you have

[tacit wing]

i have BOTW ost on flac

[golden bear]

Idk it’s a $40 one

If I go PC37x I don’t need to use my own money

[stoic solar]

https://we.tl/t-lwHQ2hY1nx

[tacit wing]

so youre stealing it?

[golden bear]

no its a hanukkah gift lmao

[strange ridge]

why does that only apply to the pc37x

or do you already have them

[timber ridge]

[stoic solar]

just do what i do and buy a $14k server to host your millions of flacs

[glass bear]

Lmfao

[stoic solar]

to be fair a friend and i share it

[tacit wing]

wait i cant really tell if your kidding or not lili

[timber ridge]

same

[glass bear]

This is still 7k per person

[stoic solar]

did u see #build-pics

[glass bear]

Not including upkeep

[stoic solar]

400/m

[little crater]

i listened to a song on spotify premium with a bitrate of 320kbps, and compared it to a flac with a bitrate of 1400kbps. they sounded literally identical

[stoic solar]

luckily this friend also makes fat stacks and thinks im cute so i pay 0

[glass bear]

Ah yes the things I'll do when my parents can't say no

[tacit wing]

yeah they definitely do, we cant hear past 20khz anyways

[glass bear]

[tacit wing]

flac collecting is just bs but we do it anyway

[little crater]

im a convenience over quality kinda guy lmao

[stoic solar]

literally love them so much they r so kind to me

[glass bear]

Same

Plus Spotify is pretty good on quality anyway

[little crater]

dont have time to waste flac hunting

[stoic solar]

i just host my own media server and use a bot to get my flac

[glass bear]

Before I get flacs I'd probably upgrade my Apple wired headphones from 2017

Parents were massive losers they bought iphone 8

They went from 6s to 8

[tacit wing]

i used to have a Tidal subscription and i went back to Spotify, the problem with streaming is that sometimes music can be taken off streaming depending on the label

[glass bear]

All the music I want is on Spotify

[tacit wing]

they took off Uncharted ost for some odd reason

[glass bear]

Tidal?

[little crater]

literally hate this, spotify has taken like, 3 songs from me over the last 2 years

its not terrible, but just sad

[glass bear]

Well if you have desktop you can upload own music in right

[stoic solar]

i am the streaming service

[glass bear]

Not like online but

[little crater]

yeah, locally

[glass bear]

flex

[stoic solar]

been meaning to set this up

https://github.com/koel/koel

but ill do it l8r

[tacit wing]

also OST for games and some obscure movies and shows arent available for streaming

[stoic solar]

i have some ost

but not much

so yeah

[glass bear]

That thing is cool

Reminds me of

Spotify

I just listen to rap

[tacit wing]

@stoic solar

LETS GOOO

[glass bear]

Back in middle school I made like 20 bucks because the school blocked Spotify and I had a massive google drive

[stoic solar]

LA DI LA DI DA

[tacit wing]

Crushed up was pretty good

[stoic solar]

https://we.tl/t-huQyakSiRu

[tacit wing]

[timber ridge]

dg

[glass bear]

I'm sorry you must be mistaken the best game soundtrack is obviously og angry birds

[stoic solar]

oh true

[glass bear]

Damn that really brings me back lol

Playing angry birds on my dad's iphone 4s

[tacit wing]

[little crater]

im curious, @stoic solar do you happen to have any awolnation?

[tacit wing]

https://we.tl/t-EPura9MBHj

sassy did u want anything in particular

[little crater]

well, everything on Run is a banger

[tacit wing]

omg im kinda overwhelmed

[glass bear]

I only listened to two awolnation songs lmfao

Run and like I forgot what the other is called

[little crater]

everybody's got a secret

banger

[timber ridge]

i downloaded it and it says opening in 8 min

how many songs is in that file

[stoic solar]

his entire discography

[glass bear]

[little crater]

i really just wanna compare real flacs to spotify again

[tacit wing]

this my secret banger

[tacit wing]

i doubt you will notice the difference

128 kbps mp3 vs FLAC you can

but spotify streams at 320 i believe

[little crater]

i wanna try with the new headphones as well, im just curious

[tacit wing]

the real menace is YouTube music, that mf is compressed as hell

[little crater]

last time i tested i only had one sample

[little crater]

yt cronchy as hell

[stoic solar]

@little crater ur getting it in 2 parts cause wetransfer only hits 2gb per upload

[little crater]

yikes

for just the one album or all of it?

[tacit wing]

Aevelina switched from YT Music to Spotify and she said its like having new ears lol

[glass bear]

Ew

YouTube music why

Only reason is yt prem

[timber ridge]

yt music prem is p expensive

[stoic solar]

ur getting everything they ever made

[little crater]

pog

[little crater]

havent heard this in a while

[stoic solar]

honestly wetransfer is so pretty

[tacit wing]

zippyshare was not

[stoic solar]

oh $12/m for 20gb/1tb

[tacit wing]

i had a "tiktok for adults" ad

[stoic solar]

not pretty anymore

lmaoooo dino

[timber ridge]

im stuck in the stone ages with mediafire

[stoic solar]

ur fault for no ublock

[stoic solar]

wetransfer free

no signup no bs

[tacit wing]

i was on my phone i have adblock on my pc

[timber ridge]

same with mediafire

[stoic solar]

mediafire has signup

[timber ridge]

i been had an acc

[stoic solar]

wetransfer just lets u hop in and upload

[timber ridge]

so its w/e

but if i ever get logged out

wetransfer it is

[stoic solar]

honestly wetransfer is faster

i mean neither can like

absorb what im slamming into them

literally no one can

i had 1 good speedtest result

and after that it was trash because no one else's servers are good enough to run it

https://www.speedtest.net/result/c/58dd76ad-0cb9-4af5-ab24-54ac04d1fb0c

https://tenor.com/view/green-whats-your-problem-tense1983-rage-angry-gif-14541377

https://www.mediafire.com/file/0dvanyhw3s7zn1r/drainer.rar/file

@tacit wing

[tacit wing]

one of these things is not like the other

[stoic solar]

huh

must have been the only release of it idk

[tacit wing]

im just playing your good

[stoic solar]

my bot generally doesnt mess up but when it cant find anything it goes to mp3

[swift lantern]

why are you archiving all this stuf

[tacit wing]

Lance, lili already sent me most of drain gang stuff

do you have Rain by Bladee>

i can only seem to find it on SC

[timber ridge]

dna rain?

[stoic solar]

dna rain or acid

[tacit wing]

Rain Check

https://soundcloud.com/bladee1000/raincheck

[timber ridge]

dont got it

[stoic solar]

doesnt exist in flac

otherwise id have it

[tacit wing]

yeah i figured

look how it cuts off at around 20.5

idk why im nerding out about this stuff this is all bs

[golden bear]

are astro a40s good, aksking for a friend

he has a pair and does audio mixing

[tacit wing]

no

[stoic solar]

iirc theyre alright

[tacit wing]

bloated mess

[stoic solar]

rly?

i meard they were the best like "gamer" headphones

[tacit wing]

[little crater]

yeah, and "gamer" headphones are trash

so

best of the worst

[stoic solar]

yea but it was the best trash

[little crater]

them really cheap koss headphones

what were they

[golden bear]

UR40s or something

[little crater]

UR40 i think

[golden bear]

UT40s

[timber ridge]

idk how i even mixed with my gamer headset

now that i have better gear, i can actually hear my music correctly

[tacit wing]

majority of headsets from gaming companies are just bad. the most common issues are bloated muddy bass, lack of any presence in the mids, tinny highs and lack of any detail and resolution.

[little crater]

https://www.koss.com/headphones/over-ear-headphones/ur40 @golden bear cheap as heck

[golden bear]

lol no

[little crater]

apparently really good sounding for the price

[stoic solar]

sounds like my kind of cans

[golden bear]

I have growN a hatred of those headphoneds

theyure goo\d

but no

[tacit wing]

if the looks of the UR40 is an issue, get some CAL's

[timber ridge]

ima kinda interested in trying mid centric cans

[little crater]

you may have, but has your friend?

[golden bear]

nope

[tacit wing]

get these

[stoic solar]

those headphones look like a mf office chair

[golden bear]

im geting dt880s or 37x

[stoic solar]

[swift lantern]

koss headphones be like $20, $25, $40, ... $400

[tacit wing]

koss has the best value in their lineup honestly

price to performance is undefeated

[swift lantern]

where's the midgame thoo!!!

where's the $150? the $250?

[tacit wing]

srsly benched my 58x for Porta Pros lol

[timber ridge]

yikes

[swift lantern]

well that would just affirm my sennheiser opinion

[tacit wing]

no

6xx is an entirely different beast than the 58x

[swift lantern]

bad

[tacit wing]

ok the 58x is by no means not a bad headphone, its just overpriced imo

[swift lantern]

all thems is overpriced

all of ems

[tacit wing]

no tf

[swift lantern]

all but koss it seems

[tacit wing]

CAL performs beyond their price

[swift lantern]

CAL

[tacit wing]

[swift lantern]

idk what that is

[tacit wing]

and its made by Creative lol

[swift lantern]

but I'm just saying if koss can make good headphones that are still making them a profit for like $40

really makes you think don't it

[timber ridge]

its obvious where koss cut corners tho

[tacit wing]

they never changed a damn thing for YEARS

[swift lantern]

holy crap Sennheiser is worth almost a billion

[little crater]

@stoic solar reminder that this exists, and that there are 4 mouth albums now...
https://soundcloud.com/neilcic/mouthdreams

[queen sigil]

i dont like people who try to convince people about their unpopular opiniln

[stoic solar]

my unpopular opinions are too spicy for this server

[tacit wing]

well yes bc they make the best mid-centric cans for less than 500 dollars and thats just fact

and they set the bar on Soundstage with the 800

[swift lantern]

do they really tho

[queen sigil]

its like people who argue razor keyboards is good

[swift lantern]

mid-centric sure is a weird way of saying veiled with bad detail

[tacit wing]

https://tenor.com/view/brick-wall-talk-gif-5290288

[swift lantern]

brugh I've personally used them

course I ain't budgin

at least they gon give me that return

thank allah

[tacit wing]

youre expecting things that dynamic headphones innately lack at while you have 400 dollar planars as a reference point

[queen sigil]

i mean there may or may not be people in general who have tried custom keyboards but still argue about razer keyboards being good

[swift lantern]

Im expecting $220 dynamics with a big name behind them to be better at everything by leagues compared to other dynamics

But no, they aren't

[queen sigil]

i mean people expect a 200$ razer keyboard to be better than a 40 dollar one

[timber ridge]

what were u comparing them to

when listening

[little crater]

they really do

[swift lantern]

Tin t2, phantoms, and even crappy headset

Better than the crappy headset ofc

None sound veiled quite like 6xx

That was a whole new layer of weirdness

[tacit wing]

mine ships tomorrow

[swift lantern]

Why do you like listening to your music through fabric dude

Help me understand

[tacit wing]

because i have functioning ears

[swift lantern]

Apparently not

You enjoy the veil?

[tacit wing]

wait hold on a min

[swift lantern]

That slight perception of muffling?

[queen sigil]

for some reasons I think when your opinion is unpopular

[tacit wing]

if you say your ears are sensitive to treble, shouldnt you be more susceptible to veil

[strange ridge]

I like pie

[swift lantern]

More susceptible as in I notice it ?

[queen sigil]

its not other peoples ears are the problem

[swift lantern]

And it annoys me?

[tacit wing]

veil to me is recessed treble

[tacit wing]

as in like it annoys you less

[swift lantern]

no?

[tacit wing]

600's are less veiled and less bass bloat than 6xx/650

but since Sennheisers left a bad taste on your tongue you prolly wont give them another chance

600's are the brighter cousin

[swift lantern]

I do not think veil is recessed treble

that doesn't... make sense

[tacit wing]

?

[swift lantern]

treble boosting actually doesn't make them sound sibilant

just empty

yeah the veil is just a constant property of the headphone

[tacit wing]

alot of people like the laid back treble of 6x0 headphones

its just not your preference

[swift lantern]

why they have no umph

NO UMPH

[tacit wing]

because theyre not planars

get some Elex or Clears if youre looking for that in dynamics

[swift lantern]

hmm ok they do get some umph if you juice the crap out of them

[timber ridge]

zen can might solve that

[swift lantern]

but then there's that treble...

[tacit wing]

we will not hear the same thing since we dont have the same source

[swift lantern]

no matter which way I look at it, it's disappointing for the price point

[tacit wing]

were you driving them with the e10k?

[swift lantern]

I do not currently have anything more powerful

it can turn them up to ear-hurting loud tho

despite being much much higher impedance they only take like 15% more juice

oh crap how do I get them to the post office

[tacit wing]

did drop give you a return label?

[swift lantern]

yah

[tacit wing]

you just drop it off since shipping is paid for

they just give you a receipt for proof that u dropped it off

[swift lantern]

ik but I don't got a car g

[tacit wing]

[timber ridge]

for some reason the pricing on topping stuff got bumped up

pain

[strange ridge]

°°°

[tacit wing]

its always on sale on Apos Audio

[swift lantern]

the pricing on like everything on linsoul got bumped up

wack

[tacit wing]

dont order from Shenzen unless you want to wait a month minimum

[timber ridge]

i found another listing on amazon for msrp

i honestly might get a magni to save a bit then put it towards 6xx

[swift lantern]

please stop attacking me

lance do you want veil

[tacit wing]

Kuzu Sennheiser Veil enthusiast

[timber ridge]

kinda wanna try something a bit more mid centric

my oh10 are more of a fun iem with good sub bass etc

[tacit wing]

6xx will deliver centralized in your head vocals

Kuzu will like the oh10 i feel like

[timber ridge]

220 is steep tho

he would

you might like the fh3

theyre like oh10 but a bit more neutral and better mids

ig kinda like starfields but with a little bump in the low end

but oh10 are super nice and clean sounding

[tacit wing]

ill get neither of those

this

[timber ridge]

blons are still my top pick for under 100

blon 05s then blon 03 for super budget

[swift lantern]

y'know what else delivers in your head vocals

every closed back anything ever

[tacit wing]

6x0 stages like closed backs

its below average

[swift lantern]

agreed

[tacit wing]

but its not fatiguing

[swift lantern]

the open back made no difference for staging at all

[timber ridge]

oh10 stock cables lowkey trash tho

[swift lantern]

a lot of iems do come with bad cables idk why

wish they'd sell em solo sometimes

[timber ridge]

i think fiio iems have nice cables

but fiio makes standalone cables so its kinda expected

[tacit wing]

moondrop cables booty cheeks

[little crater]

mans really used the word "booty cheeks"

[timber ridge]

blon 05s with a better cable and tips should be less than starfields and most of its competitors

[small nimbus]

They're literally the worst thing ever. heavy af imagine your ears going for WR weight each side weighs like 200 pounds. Horrible audio quality even worse mic some how I dont even know how razer didn't go bankrupt from how bad the kraken is I paid 200 smth (really 5 dollars) for a piece of junk to sit on my qt headphone stand. Its only good for aesthetics now

you should buy 6xx instead

[tacit wing]

YES

[small nimbus]

[tacit wing]

aev did u ever return your krakens

i know Ghosty had a bad experience with them as well

[small nimbus]

no I cba

I only paid 5 dollars for them but they aren't even worth 5 dollars

[tacit wing]

that reminds me of Glarses cursed keyboard build

[small nimbus]

i think if it wasn't on giftcard I would return them but I tbh don't wanna deal w/ the headache

[daring zenith]

@queen sigil I want to hear it

[timber ridge]

you can get an xlr setup from bestbuy

[small nimbus]

okok I'll try to return it

[timber ridge]

honestly if you dont wanna get a xlr interface n stuff but might wanna down the road

the mv7 is p epic

[tacit wing]

what audio interface are u getting aev

[small nimbus]

🗿

[timber ridge]

if she goes bestbuy route, most likely a presonus one

[tacit wing]

should i doordash Alberto's Carne Asada Fries at 1 am

[small nimbus]

yes

But send it to my address

kkthx

[tacit wing]

[timber ridge]

carne asada fries are v heavy

[tacit wing]

yeah

[timber ridge]

carne asada fries from tacos el gordo

[tacit wing]

man i miss living in chula vista

[timber ridge]
