[tacit wing]

speaking of SHP's, they have very similar feeling earpads with the new Airpods Max material-wise

[west hornet]

really?

[timber ridge]

shp overrated

[west hornet]

i thought the shp didn’t have that airy material

[tacit wing]

what the earpad material?

theyre pretty unique

[west hornet]

no clue the max looks like some kind of mesh xD

[timber ridge]

the headband on the max looks super comfy

[atomic elm]

Do you thin it’s possible to use airpods pro to play games???

[timber ridge]

if your pc has bt, i dont see why it wouldnt connect

[atomic elm]

Any closed

And couldn’t find the he35 on pcpp

[atomic elm]

Ik this just asking if you guys would play with them lul

[small nimbus]

bt headphones pretty comfortable

can just walk to kitchen w/o having to disconnect

[atomic elm]

I might just use my airpods for discord

And my headset for the game

But I need closed headphones

[tacit wing]

yes

[atomic elm]

Since I share a bedroom with my bruther

[timber ridge]

any reason why you wont close back ?

o

[atomic elm]

Yeah

[timber ridge]

cb1s are p cheap

[atomic elm]

Don’t cheap ones

[tacit wing]

if you dont mind the latency

BT latency is pretty noticeable

[small nimbus]

[atomic elm]

Aight ima just use them for discord then

[timber ridge]

no cheap headphones?

[atomic elm]

Rn going for the clouds 2

Since idk which audiophile headphones to go with

[small nimbus]

6xx

[timber ridge]

close back you can go with cal, pro 82s or cb1s

[timber ridge]

i forgot about akg

bruh

[tacit wing]

this thing got shouty upper mids oof

[atomic elm]

Aight thanks

But these should be better or the same as the cloud 2

[tacit wing]

clamp relief time

[atomic elm]

Like durability wise

Since my uncles had his for like three years

[tacit wing]

anything can be durable if you take care of your stuff

[atomic elm]

I will

[tacit wing]

CAL's and 6 series Senns are built like tanks, even if they're plastic

durable plastic

[atomic elm]

Just like nothing will happen if you just drop it on carpet

[tacit wing]

AKG is not the best in QC

[atomic elm]

Because my turtle beach broke like that sum how

Lmfao

[tacit wing]

Turtle Beaches are built like theyre from a shed

[small nimbus]

🤔 i remember there was someone who kept b reaking their wire

[tacit wing]

literally any generic OEM gaming headset from Amazon are built like Turtle Beaches

[atomic elm]

Aight

[strange ridge]

Gracias i saw this last time you posted but didn't save before I lost it in the shuffle

[tacit wing]

thx. this is more of a in-depth buying guide in courtesy of Cicero https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WE1ddEKeg9OpD5cxr0vndr-0ZTy7EMk8smAHXuEggic/edit?usp=sharing

from budget to top-shelf stuff

[strange ridge]

Pog

And now that's pinned in my clipboard

[timber ridge]

4xx listed as terrible value with no bass

oof

[tacit wing]

keep in mind this is just one man's opinion

its not word of God

but still, its a good compass for noobs

[timber ridge]

yeye ik, jus wasnt expecting them to score so low

[queen sigil]

how good are vmoda headphones

not planning to buy one

just wondering

[timber ridge]

skip

for the same price you can hit "endgame"

[tacit wing]

super recessed mids

if youre like v-shape enthusiast i guess go for it but its super saturated v shape

LMAOOO

wtf is that low-end

https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/ele/d/san-francisco-sennheiser-hd-650/7256007641.html

crying at this listing, it looks like they buried it out of someone's grave

[tight pulsar]

yikes

probably a smoker or something really funky

[gloomy berry]

Or out of a burned down house

That's just nasty

[queen sigil]

bruh they upgraded to wireless

how tf do u live with those

[tacit wing]

i immediately thought of this meme

[queen sigil]

nah but like

how do they get that bad

like maybe if the whle thing was made out of cloth I could understand

[tacit wing]

bruh had the audacity to say "fair"

[strange ridge]

Those are a restoration project

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08732X7VG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_lKm-FbBVVS6ZA

The cables are detachable for these is there a cable replacement for these that people use here

[tacit wing]

Linsoul 2 pins

also get the 05s not the non-s version

[strange ridge]

I'll see if I find them

[tacit wing]

its literally under the link you just posted

its only available in green

[strange ridge]

Okay I linked the wrong ones but the 05s are in my wishlist

[tacit wing]

nice

[strange ridge]

Oh the green are the only ones

[tacit wing]

yeah idk you just have to stomach the color if you dont like it

[tight pulsar]

i have them and they look nice

[tacit wing]

but its a different iem than the non-s version

[strange ridge]

Nah no issue with color just didn't realize they weren't the same

[tight pulsar]

wait whats the difference between the s and non s

[tacit wing]

id upgrade the tips before the cable if i were you

[strange ridge]

I was curious about cable cuz i always mess them up with wired earbuds

[tacit wing]

just a revision, nothing more

[strange ridge]

So what did the revision change

[tacit wing]

05s is green, non-s is red

[strange ridge]

Hmm

[tacit wing]

bass and treble response is fuller on the S but pretty similar sig

both iem's are an upgrade to the blo3

[strange ridge]

Yee noted

[tight pulsar]

okay what the heck is presence and brilliance ive never heard those terms before

[tacit wing]

audio jargon is rocket science sometimes

there are sometimes words that mean the same thing

translating what youre hearing into words is a tall order and so id say its necessary

brilliance can be a sparkle in the treble and precense well if something is present @tight pulsar

[queen sigil]

how comfortable are the porta pros with yaxipads

I might get porta pros with yaxipads

in maybe a couple moths or something

[tacit wing]

yes, pillows on your ears with the yaxi

but the headband snags your hair sometimes

[queen sigil]

i mave many hairs

is that just when taking it off and on

or does it do that like randomly like if it moves on your head

[tacit wing]

bruh who named themselves 6xx

[queen sigil]

@small nimbus

that's who

[small nimbus]

instead of typing it every time

i figure easier to just make it my username

[queen sigil]

[small nimbus]

that way kuzu never forgets

[tacit wing]

i have 11xx

kuzu name translates to Dont bother Aevelina

[queen sigil]

fuse them

[small nimbus]

[queen sigil]

isnt it more like

11xxxx

[tacit wing]

[queen sigil]

ghosty whatcha typin there

[west hornet]

the porta eats my hair sometimes. comfort with stock pads you cant even feel on your head, with yaxi you feel the pads but still comfy and heats up my ears a bit for winter 🙂

[queen sigil]

@west hornet sp ot

so its the

what that eats ur hair

[tacit wing]

the headband mechanism isnt fixed

[queen sigil]

this thing?

[tacit wing]

it slides up and down to accomodate head sizes

[queen sigil]

or what

[west hornet]

the headband is 2 metal strips, sometimes your hair gets stuck between them

[queen sigil]

ok shaving head to become audio man

[west hornet]

yews

[tacit wing]

also i think the light/firm headband setting is useless

otherwise i think its the best option to dip your toes into audio for around that price range

[queen sigil]

I just want best value

at smol price

[tacit wing]

other options include ksc75 and CAL

UR40 and KPH30i are a bit more warmer than PP

[strange ridge]

Me waiting on tax season to get blon 05s ur40 and a mic hype asf

[queen sigil]

imagine wearing these outside

[tacit wing]

they sound as good as much as they are gopping to look at

[west hornet]

i actually see a difference between light and firm, the headphone pressure is much more even on my head on light

[tacit wing]

that foam part doesnt press against my temple bc i have many hairs

[queen sigil]

im don't care too much for looks but I don't think I can look at myself wearing a KPH30k

[tacit wing]

Koss budget audio arent the best in aesthetics but they are objectively the best value

[west hornet]

the kph are pretty nice, tbh they are much bigger than i thought

[queen sigil]

[tacit wing]

[west hornet]

the clip of the ksc are weird

[strange ridge]

What are cal?

[tacit wing]

check cicero's spreadsheet i sent u earlier Generic

he has a brief review of those

[strange ridge]

Okie

Does it have a link to them

[tacit wing]

baby Teaks

[tacit wing]

https://www.amazon.com/Parts-Express-Stereo-Lightweight-Headphones/dp/B0002KQZJS

[strange ridge]

Dang that is well laid out spreadsheet very clean i was fearing the worst

[tacit wing]

some people salvage the headband of these to mod ksc75s

[west hornet]

interesting

[tacit wing]

look at the reviews of that amazon link lol

pretty popular mod

[queen sigil]

ill skip the KSC75 and just buy those

[west hornet]

oh boy https://i.imgur.com/nPqSOcc.png

[strange ridge]

At what point in a pair of headphones would you need additional equipment

[tacit wing]

all u need is an adequate power source and thats pretty much it

schiit or atom stack can pretty much drive anything

except estats ofc

[strange ridge]

Yeah at what point would that be needed cuz it's based on ohms right

[swift lantern]

And db/mw

[tacit wing]

@strange ridge You can have stuff at 32 ohm but if the sensitivity is at 90dB/mW it's gonna be far quieter than something 300 ohms but 105dB/mW. Most soundcard or even onboard should generally be able to push it well on the limits of OSHA standards. Don't be fooled by motherboard manufacturers saying this can drive x ohms. It's a nice marketing speak but that's about it. Just marketing

[strange ridge]

Gotcha

I guess once I get to big boi headphones I'll ask what I'll need to drive them

[swift lantern]

I'd say of you have headphones over $50 that'd be the time to get an e10k

It can even make the cheaper ones sound nicer

[strange ridge]

Dijo?

[tacit wing]

Hell ive seen someone with LCD-2C's with

[strange ridge]

Fiio*

[swift lantern]

Fiio e10k

[strange ridge]

Cool beans

[swift lantern]

Best seller for a reason

[tacit wing]

@swift lantern https://youtu.be/3Zu5SCf3d0c

im assuming youve seen this already

[swift lantern]

Yes

[timber ridge]

sold out on drop tho im p sure

[tacit wing]

what is

[swift lantern]

Let's check

[timber ridge]

o nvm theyre back up

heck

[timber ridge]

gl2000

[tacit wing]

doesnt ship till April RIP

[strange ridge]

How much do those run

500? 600?

[swift lantern]

$500-$550

Im just gonna play the long game

[tacit wing]

thats like 200 bucks off Anandas

[swift lantern]

Gonna play the long game, wait for a few more reviews, possible deals, second hand, etc

[tacit wing]

r/avexchange

[swift lantern]

There won't be any for a while I'd bet

Dear rngesus, let me luck out again

[sturdy sinew]

is the rode nt1 better then the rode nt1a?

[timber ridge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZLwnVw_h00&ab_channel=Podcastage let your ears decide

[sturdy sinew]

just watched it and I think I am going to decide with the rode nt1 I think and question is the shock mount really worth it?

[timber ridge]

depends, i personally dont think its needed bc i rarely bump my table and if i do its no worries

[sturdy sinew]

I have a loud keyboard and I hit my desk a lot

[timber ridge]

shock mounting wont change a loud keyboard, but if you hit your desk a lot, you might wanna look into a shock mount

[tacit wing]

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

[sturdy sinew]

Mmmm is there any I can mount sideways

And yes that would be me

I rage at every game I play

[tacit wing]

then invest in a shock mount

[sturdy sinew]

Fair enough

[queen sigil]

invest in therapy

[timber ridge]

like have the mic horizontal ?

[sturdy sinew]

Yea

I would prefer it be that way but I can make it work vertically

[timber ridge]

that usually depends on your boom arm

chances are, your boom arm is gonna allow you to mount it in a horizontal position

[tacit wing]

i miss these babies

pain. agony even

[swift lantern]

the shoes?

[tacit wing]

yes me Royals

[timber ridge]

kinda wish i copped dark mochas

[sturdy sinew]

https://www.amazon.com/InnoGear-Microphone-Suspension-Adjustable-Snowball/dp/B07DHLSTLV/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=innogear%2Bboom%2Barm&qid=1610148530&refinements=p_36%3A1253546011&rnid=386685011&s=musical-instruments&sr=1-3&th=1 I have been looking something like this

[swift lantern]

I wish converse were comfortable

I'd wear them all the time if they were

[timber ridge]

check the 5th pick down

[sturdy sinew]

huh

[timber ridge]

kinda give you an idea of how itll look with a horizontal mic

not really but kinda

[sturdy sinew]

so something like that will be able to use a shock mount horizontally?

[timber ridge]

yup

[sturdy sinew]

yeah I might just see about getting that innogear Medium boom arm

[timber ridge]

if youre going to horizontally mount it, medium might be the better size

well actually that depends on where you mount it and how big your desk is

[sturdy sinew]

its 6 feet long and 30 inches in depth

[timber ridge]

do you have a huge desk ?

[sturdy sinew]

yea

I mean its 70 inches long and 30 inches in depth

thats pretty big

[timber ridge]

i dont think you need a large unless you plan to like mount it behind your monitor

[sturdy sinew]

nah

I have it mounted it next to me

[timber ridge]

I would go with a medium but it wouldnt hurt to go with large either

[sturdy sinew]

yeah idk

I would be asking for my 15th bd

[last plinth]

what grips should i get for mow

model o wireless

grip tape

should i even get any?

[swift lantern]

I have no clue

dang I really want those -OZ- flacs now

[queen sigil]

yeah I see what you mean about switch ping

i'd say like 1/4 have some terrible spring ping

[sharp kindle]

the fake holy pandaaaaaas

[queen sigil]

the stem is alot more pale and the housings are alot more hwite

white

[timber ridge]

packaged better than most switches

[rugged lion]

lmao

[queen sigil]

i mean some switches come in like blass bottles

and TKC ships in buckets

lol

[placid dune]

With this one product you're becoming irish

[turbid ice]

does anyone know a way that i can troubleshoot my microphone not working? i have a corsair hs70 pro wireless headset, and the sound of the headset is working. but the microphone is not, even when i open up ICUE and turn the playback volume up its still not working, its only sending static through

[swift lantern]

have you tried using it on a different device maybe

like on your phone

[turbid ice]

i wish i could, but since it is a usb mic i cant. i tried using it on one of my schools computers and it wasnt working there either

[west hornet]

you can check drivers, make sure its not muted in sound control panel or volume mixer

[turbid ice]

well, my thing is that it decides to work for a little while then it stops

[tacit wing]

hardware issue

[turbid ice]

yayyyy

i love it when my stuff quits working lol

[tacit wing]

pain

[turbid ice]

i've only had it since the start of last summer

[tacit wing]

agony even

[turbid ice]

yeah it just stopped working like two days ago and has been working off and on 😦

[swift lantern]

[tacit wing]

i personally wouldnt expect much out of audio products from manufacturers that specialize in PC hardware but thats just me

Corsair makes alot of things but theyre not the best in alot of things

[high fulcrum]

Hello

[tacit wing]

whats up henny

[golden plume]

hi there

just asking about typing on keyboard and preventing rsi

do you guys use wrist rest?

and would it help?

[tacit wing]

just as long as you keep your wrist straight youre good

trust me i do xrays for a living ;))

[golden plume]

do you have a reference image for that

[tacit wing]

also dont use a wrist rest as a *wrist * rest

[stoic solar]

dino will u xray me for free

[tacit wing]

its more of a rest for your bottom palm

[stoic solar]

if i need one

[tight pulsar]

corsair clearly causes rsi

[golden plume]

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Computer_Workstation_Variables.jpg

i think this one is correct?

[tacit wing]

actually the 90/90/90 rule is kinda outdated

you want your back to relax on the back of your chair so the weight of your back is being supported by the chair

https://youtu.be/Ree1CWifQTg

he makes a better job of explaining

sitting at a perfect 90 is actually bad for your back, but your knees and elbows at a 90 is fine

[golden plume]

in the vid he said that a low profile keyboard could be better

[tacit wing]

yes because it is closer to the desk

it mimics the feeling of typing on your desk without a keyboard

which helps your wrist to straighten out

[golden plume]

i just bought a keyboard 😦

[tacit wing]

thats where a wrist rest comes in so it can be evened out

[queen sigil]

low profile keyboards hardly help with ergonamics

ergonomics

mose of then are really just for if you want that look or if youre gonna be moving it

[tacit wing]

the general rule is to just keep your wrist straight, thats all you need to do @golden plume

[golden plume]

ah i see

[queen sigil]

and alot of "low profile" keyboards are the same size as normal obes

ones

but the keychrons are kinda high

[golden plume]

is there a lower one?

[queen sigil]

wdym

just get a wrist rest if it's too tall for you

[daring zenith]

mhm, wrist rest nice

[tacit wing]

them epoxy resin ones are super nice

[swift lantern]

Resin is an under utilized material in design

It looks cool

[turbid ice]

what does that mean? lol

[stoic solar]

resin is pog

[swift lantern]

Looks so cool for iems

They should use em on headphones too

Give me whatever resin they used for mangird tea on a headphone

[tacit wing]

doesnt Rosson Rad-0 use resin on their rings

[swift lantern]

Oh, looks like it

Literally never heard of those

[tacit wing]

i really want a resin tabletop on my setup more than anything

but i wont be surprised if it cost as much as like a literal human liver

[stoic solar]

artisan caps are god tier, imagine an artisan table

[swift lantern]

they rippin you off

[small nimbus]

this is how i use the wrist rest on my keyboard

[high fulcrum]

An artisan table

Would be amazing

[rugged lion]

whats up with ghv4

[golden plume]

I have been typing on this keyboard for one week now

feel pretty nice tbh

[rugged lion]

what board

[golden plume]

keychron k8 hotswap brown

[rugged lion]

ah

keychron is neet

[daring zenith]

k8 gang

[golden plume]

tbh I still bottoming out

like, is that a bad thing?

[daring zenith]

why would it be

[rugged lion]

bruh why would that be bad

[golden plume]

idk, Im just asking

[rugged lion]

thats where like half the feel and noise is from

[golden plume]

at least i have my own room so no one is gonna complain about the noise

[rugged lion]

i think u will be okay with browns they arent exactly loud

[golden plume]

i dont like red tbh

they are too light

[rugged lion]

u could spring swap

[golden plume]

i have went to market and tried some gaming keyboard with cherry red

[rugged lion]

oh cherry reds

yeah no thats not a good linear experience in the slightest

cherry makes (made) like one good linear and its the vintage cherry linear clears

[tacit wing]

Carti self-titled

great album

[rugged lion]

hi dino

[golden plume]

i didnt know that you can customise keyboard to everything

[rugged lion]

oh u absolutely can

u can customize literally every single part

except for keycaps those all come premade

[daring zenith]

I mean

you can swap keycaps

[rugged lion]

maybe u could sand them down and consider it

i mean like modify them

[daring zenith]

ye

[daring zenith]

there's different styles

[rugged lion]

no.

[daring zenith]

forgot what they're called

[rugged lion]

profile

[daring zenith]

shape wise

[rugged lion]

bruh no

i mean like physically make a modification

like frankenswitching

like no one does that to keycaps

besides the alaskan keyboard collectors 👀

[golden plume]

do you have ansi or iso keyboard?

[rugged lion]

im onto u alaskan keyboard collectors i know u exist out there

ill find u one day

[daring zenith]

yea different profile keycaps, different shapes, I'd call that modification :P

[rugged lion]

i have 2 ansi boards

[golden plume]

i mean, since im in sweden so im using iso

[rugged lion]

no bruh i meant like u have a keycap and u modify it yourself

also diferrent profile and different shapes are the same thing

can a mod please pin that?

and perhaps this as well?

[golden plume]

ah yes the apple magic keyboard

[rugged lion]

dont hmu unless u got sa or cherry

ig xda and kat is valid

maybe dsa on budget keycaps theres some cool ones

[stoic solar]

apple magic keyboard only

[rugged lion]

ok theres a lot of good profiles

yeah actually tea keycaps are the new meta

lili

how do u get techie role

not that i especially care aobut it just curious

is it levels?

[little crater]

you bribe a mod for it

[stoic solar]

i know more than anyone here about storage

[little crater]

[rugged lion]

ill be a mods little e girl

we can go in private vc's ;)

[stoic solar]

thats basivally it i think

[rugged lion]

ofc my mic wont ever work

[golden plume]

apple magic keyboard is decent though

[rugged lion]

stop no

[stoic solar]

honestly laptop keebs op af

[golden plume]

no butterfly

[stoic solar]

ill use a thinkpad over most other keebs

[little crater]

you will randomly get dm'd by mike asking if you wanna be a techie, that pretty much sums it up

[rugged lion]

im willing to state that maybe like 3 ppl know more or equal about keebs than me

[tight pulsar]

yeah

[rugged lion]

so therefore i get admin right?

[stoic solar]

i think storage is like

rly close to being too niche

[rugged lion]

nah

its more important than ppl realize

[stoic solar]

i think keebs are even more niche

[rugged lion]

not at all

[stoic solar]

yeah but i mean enough to get techie

[rugged lion]

we will see man maybe one day i get it

[stoic solar]

my channel is almost always dead

[rugged lion]

oh thats how u have a yt channel

[stoic solar]

no

[tight pulsar]

who hates browns?

[golden plume]

i mean, mx brown is in the bottom ice berg

[rugged lion]

no

that means its good

well

its like the more niche and rare stuff is down

the more surface level beginner stuff is at the top

[golden plume]

tbh i like brown too

[tight pulsar]

hm vint cherry clear linears wouldnt really put that on there its not an important thing lol

[rugged lion]

bRO

[golden plume]

linear is a no no for me

[rugged lion]

whats up with the three pin din society i have a feeling thats some geekhack meme from 2015

[tight pulsar]

isnt that like half of them

[rugged lion]

[golden plume]

i would rather buy a k120 over a red switch

[rugged lion]

realistically i wont be able to get all of them

[golden plume]

at least thats what I have used for years

[rugged lion]

but im mostly there (talking about the bottom part)

good question

[tight pulsar]

unless you were around from like 2014 you probably wont know all of them

[rugged lion]

very true

[golden plume]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAMI-A ?

[rugged lion]

i got lucky with the mech27 one

[golden plume]

this one?

[rugged lion]

definitely not that no

its all keyboard related

[queen sigil]

@tight pulsar r u from usa

[tight pulsar]

no im from singapore

[rugged lion]

i dug up some old post complaining about the mech27 not shipping and managed to find it

[queen sigil]

also with ur problems

of feker pandas

[tight pulsar]

yes im from ohio ive said that like 4 times

[rugged lion]

wait rly?

[queen sigil]

oh yeah

[golden plume]

wait but what is nami trial

[queen sigil]

shush

[rugged lion]

im not sure

[queen sigil]

were all of ur springs bad

[rugged lion]

idk that one

[queen sigil]

becauase id say 1/4 of my switches have bad ping

and the rest are decent

[rugged lion]

most of it u cant just google

[tight pulsar]

i had 10 and they all sucked

[rugged lion]

u need to have prior knowledge or have jsut been around

[queen sigil]

did you buy second hand or something

[tight pulsar]

yeah

[golden plume]

me have 0 knowledge

[queen sigil]

looks like you got pranked

[rugged lion]

lol i used to be in that boat

[queen sigil]

they gave you all the bad ones

[tight pulsar]

i already have sprit springs i was gonna swap it didnt really matter either way lol

and im just using them for testing

[golden plume]

a big conspiracy theory

[rugged lion]

what

[golden plume]

why isn't there a $10 mechanical keyboard

[rugged lion]

lol

why do u think

[golden plume]

i read something like the diamond cartel purposely not releasing diamond to the market to keep the value of diamond high

[rugged lion]

wouldnt doubt it

[golden plume]

does it apply to mechanical keyboards?

[rugged lion]

wdym?

if u release a lot of keyboards they will be cheap?

[golden plume]

could be

[rugged lion]

not really how this stuff works lol

building keyboard or electronics in general is expensive

[golden plume]

yeah yeah i know

[rugged lion]

not to mention alot of stuff goes into a keyboard more than u thin

so even if u cheap out on every single last component its gonna be more than 10 dollars

and buy in extreme bulk

[queen sigil]

alot of expensive keyboards

are CNCed peices of metal

which require alot of metal for a case

[golden plume]

think about it, you cant sell mech keebs in bulk like membrane

[rugged lion]

i thibnk he means the cheap redragon ones

reddragon or redragon?

[golden plume]

at least with the k120, you know what they are

[rugged lion]

they both look wrong wtf

[queen sigil]

i think most key switches are expensive just because the quality control

also just because premium

[rugged lion]

wait im tripping is it redragon or reddragon

they both look incorrectly spelled

re-dragon or 2 d's

[queen sigil]

but also because they arent really

mass produced

[tight pulsar]

you can build a keyboard for sub 10 just get like a milk or something with like 3 keys

[rugged lion]

u could potentially get it to 10 dollasr PER UNIT

but not just go out and buy a keyboard for 10 dollars

[golden plume]

but think about it, if there is diamond cartel, wouldn't there be a keyboard cartel?

maybe i should stop watching those scifi documentaries

[rugged lion]

keycult and tgr boards are basically diamond keyboards

lol

[golden plume]

🤔

[queen sigil]

reminds me of that one person in general who claimed to be able to get a GPU in china for 20$ from an underpaid worker

[rugged lion]

arent gt 710's like 30 bucks?

[queen sigil]

50

[rugged lion]

ah

[queen sigil]

and im pretty sure thats all material costs

[golden plume]

well since we cant verify it

i would just take the face value

[stoic solar]

hell yes sanctuary is back up

[rugged lion]

bro trust me there arent a lot of technology there

[stoic solar]

stupid colo provider

[golden plume]

do you guys use headset for remote work?

[rugged lion]

i dont work so no

[golden plume]

or you just talk directly to the mic?

i mean, study or whatever

[rugged lion]

headset vs mic

well considering i dont have a separate mic no

[golden plume]

i have a c920

[rugged lion]

well i do i just am too lazy to set it up

[golden plume]

so that one has been with me for a while

its decent enough for remote work

although I wish i would use it for streaming

but thinking back i shouldnt put my face on the net

[rugged lion]

net?

[golden plume]

internet*

[rugged lion]

oh

eh

i feel like if someone wanted to be malicious to u they would have different ways to go about it

and i doubt someone does

[golden plume]

since imma going to interview its better to hide those unnecessary stuff

[rugged lion]

true

[sharp jackal]

Not really sure if this fits here, but anybody have good pcie wifi adapter for desktop suggestions?

[rugged lion]

#building-and-recc-chat

not that its the wrong place

just that chat is more active

[timber ridge]

I would get a tp link or asus wifi 6 adapter

[sharp jackal]

I wouldn't know which one to look at 😅

[timber ridge]

https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Bluetooth-Ultra-Low-Archer-TX3000E/dp/B07ZV2CJL2/ref=sr_1_5?crid=MV8V3JRGUGGT&dchild=1&keywords=wifi+6+pcie+adapter&qid=1610172846&sprefix=wifi+6+%2Caps%2C225&sr=8-5

if you wanna get something cheaper, apparently theres a company named edup that make a lot of cheaper options but i dont know much of them til i jus searched it

[stoic solar]

edup is gr8

they just make the generic pcie board

but the actual module is the ax200

best around

[tacit wing]

i have a pci-e tp link wifi thingie on my family computer since like 2014 mf still works lol

[timber ridge]

yeye, tp link and asus router related stuff p pog

debating if i should pick up a scalper 3080 b4 they realize there are price bumps

[stoic solar]

asus bleg

[timber ridge]

hmm

[thick plank]

Magnius arrived so I can finally use the cable for my hd800

Also fixed the rear rca connections on my 95x box but I can't really use that and maintain quick switching between headphones

Probably gonna fix the power stage of the 95x energizer up some more too soon

[timber ridge]

magnius is quite the unit

[thick plank]

Not as powerful as I was lead to believe

Plenty of planars could definitely max it out

[timber ridge]

i plan to pick up a heresy soon, maybe in the next few days

[thick plank]

Get an atom or liquid spark instead

[timber ridge]

i was gonna originally go with topping but price bumps

and any reason why i should take those over the schiit stack ?

[swift lantern]

what headphones you gonna get anyway

[timber ridge]

dt880s

maybe 6xx

[tacit wing]

yes

[thick plank]

@timber ridge I would recommend both of those unless you literally only care for mid accuracy then I guess get the 6xx

But if you value literally any other category I don't recommend either

[tacit wing]

omg something we finally agree on

vocals are a delight on 6xx

[thick plank]

Not really

They are pretty meh

They are just good ish for the price

[tacit wing]

upper mids

the shoutiness

the seperation

yessir

[thick plank]

The whole mid range of the 6xx is meh and pretty good for the price only

And the separation also is not that good

Not even if talking just vocals

6xx is just a bad headphone that got overhyoed by youtubers tbh

[tacit wing]

they are literally 650's

[thick plank]

Like if you can get one for $100 it could be a nice secondary headset if your main is something sharp but good at other categories like an arya

[tacit wing]

which has established itself as one of the best in the midrange that rivals TOTL cans

only thing that comes close are like Aeolus or something

[thick plank]

Except it isn't

Maybe it was when it first launchrd

But now you can beat it in every category including vocal accuracy for just over the price of a 6xx

I owned a 650 just for calls and vocal heavy music and sold it for that reason

It doesn't hold up any more

It's an overpriced lowfi can in both cases with one almost redeeming factor

And the 880 is just a more expensive downgraded 400i

Like every category a 400i is about on par or much better but without the torture in mids

And with way more detail and extension

[tacit wing]

the noticeable bias you have against midfi dynamics is actually hilarious

[thick plank]

It isn't really a bias

[swift lantern]

Dino nobody likes 6xx get over it

[timber ridge]

oman

[thick plank]

There are good dynamics

[tacit wing]

literally 2 people

[swift lantern]

[thick plank]

Those just are bad examples

Because they are all round bad headphones with each only one positive trait

And one of them loses in that category to a cheaper can

And the other loses in everything if you pay barely more

Believe me, I was where you were

The "650 is best cause I heard it was" train

Once you try more stuff though it really gets hard to keep telling yourself something you notice losing in every category to your other cans is good

Hell, I've used probably close to every sennheiser headset that isn't a vintage can and basically had a part in every family and even I can say confidently none of them were good

[swift lantern]

[tacit wing]

why dont u just say u hate dynamics and move on

and that you just copped 800s just for the staging

[swift lantern]

What do you mean dynamics dino lmaooo

[tacit wing]

drivers

[swift lantern]

[thick plank]

@timber ridge also, if you can go used the sr5 is really good and you can get it for less than the price of a 6xx and heresy

@tacit wing I have owned and still own mostly dynamic driver parts

I just am not a fool telling myself lies and realize it's a worse tech and more often than not falls behind other driver techs unless they have a poor design

There are exceptions from companies that find the weak points of dynamics and work to fix then

Like focal the elex and clear for instance

[tacit wing]

Focals

but theyre not entirely "worse" tech

[thick plank]

Actually they are

Because they require a thicker diaghram and the weight of the voice coil be moved

[tacit wing]

whats an estat or planar that BLAMS harder than a TH900

[thick plank]

And because the phase difference in the center and outer portion of the driver it flexes

@tacit wing loud bass in fr is different than detail and extension

And the th900 has a lot of sub bass rolloff and sharp and non flat highs which is a characteristic of dynamic drivers (which with a well built chasis or diaghram can be counteracted but generally with some detail loss)

Which is the issue in the design

[tacit wing]

you prioritize detail as an audiophile, understandable

but some people are a part of BLAM club

[thick plank]

I prioritize overall performance

[swift lantern]

[thick plank]

Above all timbre and sound signature

And another issue with dynamics is they struggle to be natural in timbre

Some can be pretty good though

[tacit wing]

well overall performance can mean different for every single one of us because of our preferences

[thick plank]

But it's working around the tech

[thick plank]

I order preference from sound signature then timbre then imaging then sound stage then detail then comfort then efficiency

So your claim that I don't like those headphones because I don't like dynamics because I only care for detail is a strawman

[swift lantern]

give me mod so I can rename dino Sennheiser Simp pls

[thick plank]

I don't like them because they are bad at all of those other than arguable sound signature if like me you like mid forward for the 6xx

[tacit wing]

yes

[swift lantern]

[thick plank]

But one pro that barely more money you can beat it in with every other category being near bottom tier is hard to sell

The vintage esp 9 was apparently really good as a closed back monitor

Too bad all the used ones have deflated water filled pads

And nobody makes those water pads any more afaik

[swift lantern]

... water?

[thick plank]

Yep

It had pads that were filled with water

It's probably one of the most unique headphones ever

And did the amplification in earcup

Or the bias voltage rather

[swift lantern]

closed back electrostats...

https://tenor.com/view/come-to-me-dr-evil-sad-come-here-gif-5275332

I would be very curious to try that

[thick plank]

I mean the sr001mk2 I have is closed back too with the ces a1

Which is an add on piece

(so you can switch it back and forward)

But you get the same issues as with other driver designs

Congested and muddy bass

[pastel path]

Can u guys help me, my mouse is double clicking :< my mouse is logitech g102

[west hornet]

I think the only thing you can do is replace the switches or replace the mouse

I mostly stay in #building-and-recc-chat with Vintage

[timber ridge]

we welcome everyone 🙂

[gloomy berry]

Well, there's a reason he got the boot before

[royal sandal]

who, Cholax?

[timber ridge]

thats not the reason

but ye cholax

[gloomy berry]

Well, emoji was the reason

[timber ridge]

yea, if it was bc of his typing he would of been banned a long time ago lol

[small nimbus]

🗿

[timber ridge]

sick name aev

[strange ridge]

Lance were you the one talking phones one day

[timber ridge]

prob yea

[small nimbus]

thanks

6xx is the best

[tacit wing]

best name

[timber ridge]

might join the club soon

[magic iris]

LMAO

[magic iris]

YEAH we do

[magic iris]

u dont know the reason i got banned

[tacit wing]

yes or dt 880 u can never go wromg

[gloomy berry]

I do

[magic iris]

only dino tomie and lance and maybe avelina know

thats who i told

[timber ridge]

yea its a win win situation

[magic iris]

880 is nice

dont get the 32 ohm tho

[timber ridge]

i dont really go wrong if go with dt880s or 6xx

[magic iris]

dont get the 32 ohm

[tacit wing]

different flavors of mid-fi hell

[magic iris]

get the 250 ohm for normal use

and the 600 if u got a am

@tacit wing inv me to that server

with all the audiopphile hepaone and iems emojis

[timber ridge]

yes, 600ohm for onboard audio

[magic iris]

exactly what i said

[tacit wing]

cholax youre gonna get kicked in that server like 5 min in tops

[magic iris]

no iwont

all im gonan do is use their emojis

[timber ridge]

part of me wants to wait for topping prices to drop, other part wants to order schiit stack now

[magic iris]

😄

oof just relized i dont have nitro on this acc

:C

[small nimbus]

[timber ridge]

not goin atom stack bc i dont want two ac adapters to deal with

[magic iris]

are topping stack better than schiit

if thye are

wait

[small nimbus]

cholax joining server for nitro emotes w/o nitro

[magic iris]

if they arent that much better

[small nimbus]

🗿

[timber ridge]

amp wise basically the same

[magic iris]

lol

sure why not

i have nitro on my main

[timber ridge]

its the dac where topping kinda shines

[magic iris]

oh

so get the topping then

[timber ridge]

but some will argue dac doesnt matter as much

no way im getting topping stack for 300

thats a rip off

[tacit wing]

you can use a as a DAC in the meantime until you decide on a dedicated one

[timber ridge]

if i go apple dongle, ima lowkey cash out on the amp

[tacit wing]

yup just need an rca split to 3.5

[last plinth]

getting model o wireless

pog pog

[tacit wing]

nicesu

mr1111 propaganda is working

[timber ridge]

if i were to go apple dongle i would get something like magnius level

maybe d50s or something along the lines

my wallet will be kinda gg

i still have to get keycaps for one of my build too

pain

[royal sandal]

is it worth getting G.Skill keycaps to replace those on my Cynosa Chroma?

[timber ridge]

their crystal keycaps ?

[royal sandal]

yee

[timber ridge]

if you want maximum rgb then go for it, but they are abs so they will shine quicker

im p sure hyperx pudding caps are pbt which wont shine as quick as abs

[royal sandal]

you are speaking a second language to me

with those acronyms

all I really understood was that you can see more RGB

[timber ridge]

abs is the material of the keycaps

so gskill uses abs, which shines quicker than pbt

[cunning hearth]

Plastic type doesnt matter for shine through

Its manufacturing method

Like doubleshot or pudding or whatever

[timber ridge]

true, but only decent abs company is like gmk

[cunning hearth]

Mm

Or epbt maybe

[timber ridge]

i forgot about epbt

they p epic

[cunning hearth]

And jtk maybe

[timber ridge]

this is keycap shine btw

[cunning hearth]

Oh oh thats what u meant

[timber ridge]

yeye

[cunning hearth]

Yea abs gets shiny and stuff

[timber ridge]

not shine thru

[tacit wing]

@cunning hearth what sets are you running on ur Keqing?

[cunning hearth]

Abs is shiny/smooth and pbt is textured/matte

[cunning hearth]

lol i stopped playing genshin i just like keqing

[tacit wing]

lol catgirl simp

i just got mine to 2.5 attck

TF and Glad build with Electro goblet

[timber ridge]

if i give up one of my other gacha games then ill pick up genshin again

[tacit wing]

you missed out on the best event that just ended a few days ago

so id say uts not worth picking it up again

[timber ridge]

one of my games had a major bug and got refunded back

p pog, basically free summons

[cunning hearth]

[timber ridge]

is there any major differnces between the heresy and magni 3+

from what im reading its basically the same

[cunning hearth]

Basically the same

I think 3+ has slightly more power

Main difference is the colors tbh

[timber ridge]

yea one had a slight edge i think but i forgot tbh

[tight pulsar]

also abs doesnt really shine super fast ive used mine for like 5 months with no shine at all

[cunning hearth]

After lots of use it does

Not super fast

[timber ridge]

ye, not fast but quicker than pbt

[cunning hearth]

Mm

[timber ridge]

and it depends on who made it, chances are if its a budget abs set its gonna shine quick asf

[cunning hearth]

Yea

The really cheap sets are super low quality

[tight pulsar]

yeah cheap abs isnt good

[timber ridge]

higher end abs feels identical to pbt

[tight pulsar]

anything jtk/gmk/epbt shouldnt shine a bunch for a few years

[cunning hearth]

Nachos do u have any gmk sets

Mm those are the best abs brands

[tight pulsar]

taro r2 is coming soon and future funk when it finally ships

[timber ridge]

imagine paying 180 for a gmk set and you get a warpy space bar

[cunning hearth]

That’s probably not gonna happen

[cunning hearth]

You got gmk taro? Nicee

[tight pulsar]

no it happens

[timber ridge]

its p common

[cunning hearth]

Well rip

Even on high end abs?

[timber ridge]

i saw some kid in kbd server complaining about it, lowkey felt bad

[cunning hearth]

Isnt abs not supposed to warp

[tight pulsar]

qc has fallen a lot with the zhunin or whatever alphas and spacebars

abs is harder to warp

[timber ridge]

he jus got his olivia kit and both ends of his spacebar were warped

[cunning hearth]

personally gmk taro is my fav gmk set. if i ever get its gonna be my endgame set

[timber ridge]

epbt was also known for warpy spacebars but apparently they got a new mold recently that helped fix it

[tight pulsar]

once i get wob, crp tulip, and jtk cyrillic ill probably be done with keycaps

[timber ridge]

when is taro r2 supposed to come out ?

[tight pulsar]

uh its shipping and extras just finished

[timber ridge]

i was waiting for agent 01, but i might skip it for taro

oof

[cunning hearth]

Is there gonna be a r3?

[timber ridge]

i still want kuro shiro

[tight pulsar]

pwade said there might be another run maybe in a different profile

[cunning hearth]

Hm

[timber ridge]

dsa magical girl was super similar to taro

[cunning hearth]

Gmk is usually cherry right

[timber ridge]

i think its always cherry

[cunning hearth]

if its sa i might buy

[timber ridge]

ehhh

[cunning hearth]

The taro r3

[timber ridge]

sa sounds nice and looks nice

[timber ridge]

typing experience is coinflip

[cunning hearth]

Mm

But I personally like the typing experience

[tight pulsar]

sa too tall hsa and kat look nice

[timber ridge]

cant wait for my kat kit to come

[cunning hearth]

Hsa??

Never heard of that

[tight pulsar]

they only ran 2 sets and theyre still adjusting the molds

[cunning hearth]

Ah

I think sa is p nice

[queen sigil]

sa is not nice to type on

it just sounds kinda nice

imo

[timber ridge]

im not sure what kam profile is

[cunning hearth]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[timber ridge]

sa sounds nicest imo
