lol

devout fiber
#

ight, boutta spend more on my headphones than i did my CPU + GPU + mobo + ram + SSD

timber ridge
#

aeons are tempting me

#

but if i were to spend that type of money, id prob get e-mu teaks

daring zenith
#

lol

tight pulsar
#

the aeons have weird reviews and people say sundaras are better and like half the cost but they smexy

timber ridge
#

yea they look really nice

devout fiber
#

what

#

those look funky

tight pulsar
#

the aeons?

#

also unikorn r2.1 soon might try for a pc or mint one

devout fiber
#

yes the aeons

#

this is gonna be bold

#

but i could argue the apple earbuds sound the same quality wise

calm cobalt
#

does the keychron c1 have a pbt keycap set?

daring zenith
#

I think stock keycaps are pbt

calm cobalt
daring zenith
#

Huh, they are, but it looks like it's fairly standard and you can just find some random oem profile pbt keycap set

Keychron | Wireless Mechanical Keyboards for Mac, Windows and Android

Here is the C1 keycap layout and size chart overview. The keycap is designed for the Keychron C1 keyboard. Different rows on the keyboard have different heights and slope profiles and Keychron C1 keycap uses OEM profile with MX style. Therefore the C1 keyboard is compatible with other OEM profile keycaps in the market.

daring zenith

budget?

gray onyx
# timber ridge budget?

Well I got a $90 neweggbusiness giftcard that I gotta use asap. Willing to put additional to get me to $200. Would like a boom and a microphone.

q2u can go off usb and xlr

#

otherwise all of them are purely usb

calm cobalt
daring zenith
#

I believe so

calm cobalt
#

yikes

#

and the c series is supposed to be budget

thick plank
#

Wait, misread this. Yea, atom amp is good but not atom dac, schiit stack is bad except the schiit modius and magnius but then those are bad in dynamic range and noise (great at the though)

#

Those are both overhyped pretty overall bad parts unfortunately

#

95x is great

devout fiber
#

My budget was $50 lol

thick plank
#

Better post mods than even my sr303 for detail

devout fiber
#

That’s why I said

thick plank
#

Then why were you sending images of the 95x?

queen sigil
thick plank
#

For 50 ur40 is good

queen sigil
#

the c series is budget

#

wdym

#

keychron doesnt have stock PBT keycaps

#

you can buy PBT keycaps from them

devout fiber
#

Cause nachos said “shoulda got 95x” as a joke

#

And

queen sigil
#

but their keycaps are ABS

devout fiber
#

Literally got UD40s lol

thick plank
#

Ah

#

You made a good choice then

#

Congrats

calm cobalt
queen sigil
#

and it is?

calm cobalt
#

yea it can get like $30 cheaper than k

calm cobalt
devout fiber
#

You talking about headphones or something else?

calm cobalt
#

it looks like the drevo keyboards

#

and the only 60% i remember is calibur

devout fiber
#

Oh, no haha it’s an E-Element Z88. Chinese keyboard with outemu reds

calm cobalt
#

oh huh

devout fiber
#

It’s 65% or 70% I think

calm cobalt
#

reminded me of the drevo logo

daring zenith
#

what

timber ridge
#

drevo is a budget keeb company

daring zenith
#

@thick plank I was commenting on the name of "95x" sounding like sennheiser product

timber ridge
#

welp, gonna try to get rid of my airpods

#

gonna see if i can get a ifi hip dac to replace it lol

#

either that or xduoo xd05 or whatever

queen sigil
#

i want cycling arm warmers

#

since I have leg warmers and a waterproof windbreaker jacket thing

#

but I want something that I can take off and stash easier

tight pulsar
#

like compression sleeves

queen sigil
#

yes

#

also I want some longer socks

#

but keyboard stuff over biking socks

stoic solar
#

yooooo

#

new porter robinson song bangs

queen sigil
#

I should get some programming socks

#

jk im not a programmer

last shadow
#

im trying to buy a new mouse, i currently own the corsair dark core se wireless whatever its called, the 100$ one. does corsair make a similar yet higher end mouse or no?

stoic solar
last shadow
#

nasty

queen sigil
#

lol why would you want a corsair mouse

last shadow
#

because i bought a k95 and want a corsair mouse

queen sigil
#

when you're loyal to a bad brand

#

corsair mice and keyboards are both p bad

last shadow
#

damn bruh you forgot the part where i asked your opinion, what i asked was if corsair made a better mouse. i am in no way loyal to corsair, i just like their products. i already own a k95 and hate using multiple softwares for things i own so i have a dark core se wireless, and want to upgrade

queen sigil
#

well then chances are you arent gonna get a recommendation

#

Because nobody here wants to recommend a bad mouse just because they dont like software

tight pulsar
queen sigil
#

lol

#

didnt it got for like 20k on it's first auction

tight pulsar
#

ya it went up to like 60k or something

queen sigil
#

isnt it just like

#

a really nice steel hardtail

#

wait why does it say jan29 2021

tight pulsar
#

probably had to figure out how to pay it without it getting blocker or something idk

#

but basically whoever bought it all the money they paid was gonna get donated to their local trails

last shadow
#

alright, thanks

timber ridge
#

np, considering you used the dark core im guessing you use palm grip

#

coolermaster is releasing a new lightweight ergo mouse, might wanna wait for that

last shadow
#

im honestly perfectly fine with the mouse i have, im just going for the ultimate setup so i wanted to spend more money lol

queen sigil
#

"ultimate setup"

last shadow
#

ill keep this one until i find somethign compelling to change to

queen sigil
last shadow
#

the ultimate setup for me you clown

#

stop being cringe bro, its hella annoying

queen sigil
timber ridge
#

i would steer away from corsair mice if you want an ultimate setup

#

corsair peripherals in general

queen sigil
timber ridge
#

their pc parts are fine tho

last shadow
#

i personally really like everything ive gotten form corsair, i have yet to find anything i dislike about my k95 or my mouse honeslty

queen sigil
#

damn lance

#

stop having more exp than me

#

If you just want something that works then you can get anything

#

It's just the fact that their peripherals are low quality and overpriced

last shadow
#

i dont entirely agree with that but ok

timber ridge
#

they arent bad products in general, just bad for the price

last shadow
#

i dont really care about the price honestly.

timber ridge
#

youre paying the price premium for the logo more than the product itself

tight pulsar
#

okay otd board it is

last shadow
#

ill spend however much i want to, i just have to like it

queen sigil
#

Most gaming companies when it comes to keyboards just do a bad job at every pricepoint

timber ridge
#

my point is, most peripherals from gaming companies are overpriced and you can way better at the same price point and cheaper

last shadow
#

ok?

queen sigil
#

excluding mice

timber ridge
#

build wise, there isnt much dif between a 200 corsair keyboard and 70 dollar red dragon

queen sigil
#

good mice are like all from gaming brands

#

(razer and glorious)

last shadow
#

the only bad gaming company i can think of is razer and thermaltake

queen sigil
#

bruh so its like purely a placebo effect

timber ridge
#

just letting you know, no need for the attitude lol

#

razer makes great mice

last shadow
#

eh

queen sigil
#

as long as you like it you think it's good

#

then just get the cheapest thing that you think is good

#

chances are it will last a year or two

#

and it'll do it's job

tight pulsar
#

hm i wonder how much it would be to 3d print a mech27 lol

queen sigil
#

that reminded me of the pain27

tight pulsar
#

mech27 worse

timber ridge
#

crazy

#

imagine being mad about being told you bought a trash product

queen sigil
#

not loyal to a brand btw

timber ridge
#

i was trying to be polite too

#

man

queen sigil
#

I don't exactally get like mean in the way that I know im being mean unless they say something that makes me want to annoy them

#

It was this message for me

queen sigil
#

just buy like a 2000$ blue mic

west hornet
#

u87 ai is nice

gloomy berry
#

I mean, the mic on the HyperX isn't bad

#

Which is why maybe keep for games

west hornet
#

also the akg c414 xlii seems like nice all rouder

#

cheap xD

gloomy berry
#

Doesn't Ant or something make a good stick on mic for headphones?

west hornet
#

mod mic, never used one but people say it is nice combo for a nice pair of headphones

gloomy berry
#

Ye, Ant ModMic

#

Actually sounds pretty dang good

Hey i want to connect speakers to my monitor but it has no audio jacks (my laptop audio jack dosent work) can anyone recommend me something that will make it work? Like a specific jack to usb dongle.

swift lantern
#

Wait so your using it on laptop? Or a pc, is there a reason you say monitor specifically

cobalt nova
#

he has his laptop connected to his monitor

#

and yeah a usb to 3.5 mm adapter will work

west hornet
#

i don't understand. ive literally replaced everything in the setup except for my pc...

timber ridge
#

its still not resolved yet?

queen sigil
#

smh i thought ghosty was mic person

brisk parcel
#

I'm gonna skip all these normie cans

#

HE-1 here I come

west hornet
#

ive gone on forums and discords many times, no one can figure out what my issue is

#

im starting to think its the pc

#

but i did just test it straight into an outlet so i am out of ideas -_-

#

there is no way possible that it is THIS sensitive to emi, everything has been replaced, this has not always been an issue

west hornet
#

Omg I might be close to finding issue

swift lantern
#

🙏

west hornet
#

I sit here replacing everything and the issue might be the circuit breaker -_-

eternal beacon
#

could someone recommend me a good mouse for small hands? aswell as a keyboard

timber ridge
#

and budget

eternal beacon
#

right handed, four fingers and a thumb, palm aswell

#

preferably like 80-100$ for the mouse and like 120-160 for the keyb

timber ridge
#

the pinned messages has a list of grip types

#

maybe thatll help you find yours, if it didnt help you can send a pic of you hold a mouse

#

from like the side

eternal beacon
#

ig palm grip

timber ridge
#

use the flowchart in the pinned messages for keyboard options

#

if you have any further questions about either keyboard or mouse, just
@ me

vernal plinth
#

I have been useing a corsair m65 pro for so long with the finger grip

#

Honestly useing any other mouse is dead to me

placid dune
#

Hey I do the fingertip too

#

Palm only when relaxing ig

devout fiber
#

Ok @daring zenith I have my final verdict
It’s nice. I can hear some differences but really it’s nothing to freak put about for me.
It hurts my ears when I use them for about 2 hours
But they coo

daring zenith
#

hm ok

stoic solar
#

what are ppls fave switches here

#

friend wants to get into MK

daring zenith
#

lemme go find that switch flowchart

#

This is the more expensive stuff, but yea

stoic solar
#

owo

daring zenith
#

basically

#

ignore that bottom left section

#

I think that's a meme

daring zenith
#

the heck

stoic solar
#

looks like theyre stems

#

for the god tier one

tight pulsar
#

god i hate that guy

#

but anyway yeah that is supposed to uhmwpe stems in panda housings and the long name is basically a meme with nixdorf/hirose/zeal/everglide stems

daring zenith
#

what the hell

tight pulsar
#

and the ones to the left of that are just really old vints

tight pulsar
daring zenith
#

@tight pulsar I still don't get the acronym

tight pulsar
#

uhmwpe?

daring zenith
#

Yes

tight pulsar
#

that has nothing to do with that switch thats just the name of material the stem (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene is what its made out of)

#

also just bought 90 greetech browns for 9+shipping lol

daring zenith
#

huh

#

keeb speek is hard

tight pulsar
#

people just call them pe stems cause its easier or bumwipe cause the v2s were really bad

daring zenith
#

@tight pulsar help translate into english please

tight pulsar
#

wut

daring zenith
#

PE stems?

#

bumwipe?

#

v2 of what?

sly warren
#

You don't know what a bum wipe is?

tight pulsar
#

okay so basically somebody decided to make a stem out of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene cause its really smooth vs the normal pom stem everything is made of. thats a really long name so people called them uhmwpe stems and thats also hard to say so they just called them pe stems. they were pretty good so they decided to slightly change the tooling to make them better. these new ones were called v2 and sucked like a lot so people called them bumwipe cause it sounds like uhmwpe kinda (they were smaller than normal stems and caused the stem to be angle kinda like in the photo and really inconsistent quality). 415keys sells actually good versions called rev3 or something but basically thats it

#

lmao the dude i bought the greetechs's paypal business is called lysols clean keebs

daring zenith
#

okay then

pale plume
#

Looking for a pair of small form factor speakers. Don't need anything fancy, just a 2.0 setup. Anyone have a thought? Was thinking like the Bose companion 2 or creative t100.

#

I know physics says bigger is better, so I'm not expecting miracles.

sly warren
#

Why not just a pair of headphones?

pale plume
#

Have a 2 and 4 year old, can't have myself oblivious to the world

daring zenith
#

I mean, open back headphones are pretty nice still

#

@sly warren know any decently cheap pads that would be good for ur40? Just wondering, might getting em soon.

sly warren
#

There are no pads that keep the same sound yet are more comfortable.

daring zenith
#

hm alright then

pale plume
#

Yeah I'll probably get a set of headphones as well. Still want a set of speakers though

daring zenith
#

Hell, you might want to try ur40s xD

#

they're cheap, supposed to sound good, open back.

pale plume
#

I'll check them out. Thanks!

west hornet
#

hmm idk too many speakers but klipsch promedia 2.1 might be good

sly warren
#

They do sound amazing.

#

The UR40's are basically the best cheap headphones you can buy.

swift lantern
sly warren
#

There's really only 1 other option, and that's the CAL SE's

#

Outside of those 2, everything else sub ~200 dollars is just garbage.

swift lantern
#

BOLD words

daring zenith
#

what about like

#

dt880

strange ridge
#

oooh

timber ridge
#

imo if your budget cant allow for headphones over $60 or so i would look for some iems

daring zenith
#

@timber ridge I was responding to skiptrace talking about sub 200$ stuff

timber ridge
#

oh

#

dt880s are good

#

wish the headphone market was as wide as the iem market

#

theres like a good iem for every price range

west hornet
#

2usd

swift lantern
#

literally you can get dollar store iems

#

like, technically speaking

timber ridge
swift lantern
#

but yeah there's twenty quadrillion sub $100 iems

#

and 10 quadrillion sub $200 ones

daring zenith
#

lol

swift lantern
#

tin hifi should make headphones

daring zenith
#

@timber ridge bro via needs your keycap to be compatible otherwise it won't work

gloomy berry
#

The AKG IEM's that came with my Samsung are honestly great

#

Better than my Sennheiser IEM's

swift lantern
#

those are comfortable

gloomy berry
#

The sound is pretty good too

timber ridge
#

the type c ones?

gloomy berry
#

No, 3.5mm

swift lantern
#

do they come in type c now?

gloomy berry
#

S10+

#

S20 does I think

#

Ah, no

timber ridge
#

they dont give you a charger brick or earphones now

swift lantern
#

I think making earbuds with a dedicated usb c ending is uh... bad

#

don't do that

gloomy berry
#

comes with a Type-C to 3.5 adatper

timber ridge
#

i opend up my s21 ultra and only got a sim removal tool and usb c to usb c cable

gloomy berry
#

Wifes S20 came with both

swift lantern
#

you have a wife

gloomy berry
#

XD

timber ridge
#

vintage already secured the bag

gloomy berry
#

I'm old

swift lantern
#

so again, why isn't usb c used for like, everything

#

like even if something can't take advantage of the fast charging or data transfer, I just mean the physical format

timber ridge
#

micro usb is a deal breaker for me

#

when i was younger and was forced to buy tablets bc i couldnt have a phone

#

like legit all my tablets usb port would break or whatever

swift lantern
#

I've had problems with micro usb cables breaking but not ports

timber ridge
#

ggs

#

did you decide on ur portable amp/dac yet

swift lantern
#

honestly they should just come up with an axial data transfer cable for everything

#

I'm fairly made up on getting an xduoo, but I'm debating on which one

#

and I'm waiting for that stimmy that I'll hopefully get

timber ridge
#

xduoo is nice, but i feel like its more of a desktop amp than portable

#

its thicc

swift lantern
#

oh yeah it definitely is

#

that's why it's actually just gonna be my desktop setup, with a battery option

#

and for that reason I might just end up going with xd-05 plus or whatever

timber ridge
#

isnt there an xduoo xd 10

#

or something

swift lantern
#

there's an xp-2

#

also I don't see an xd-05 standard now.. was I imagining

timber ridge
#

p sure it got discontinued

swift lantern
#

there's an xp-2 and xp-2 pro

timber ridge
#

prices are pretty close if i remember correctly

swift lantern
#

xp-2 pro does 300mw at 32 ohm, it's more slim and also bluetooth capable

timber ridge
#

the guy im trying to sell my old phone to replies super slow

#

but im debating if i should maybe get a portable setup too

#

dunno yet

swift lantern
#

I really like the idea of both as I've said before but it's seeming like it would make more sense to go with a dedicated desktop setup and just like, a dongle for the phone

#

since none of the iems I'm gonna use are gonna be THAT demanding

timber ridge
#

ye true

swift lantern
#

and I'm also gonna try to steer cleer of overly sensitive ones too

#

that's just annoying

timber ridge
#

i needa find a dongle with a bass boost lol

#

or wait for good wireless earbuds

swift lantern
#

in order for that to be the case it would need the little circuit that does it like in e10k

#

theoretically, possible within a small-ish form factor

#

but I don't know if it could be put in anything smaller than a hip-dac

timber ridge
#

airpods 2 are gonna come out soon

#

might consider maybe getting them if theyre good

#

they already stomp in anc

cunning hearth
#

airpods 2?

timber ridge
#

yup

cunning hearth
#

cool

swift lantern
#

do you want/need noise cancelling

#

I can't hear NOTHING with my foam tipped t2s in

timber ridge
#

not really

#

jus considering all my options tho

swift lantern
#

if you buy an apple product I will actually shun you

#

wdym iphones are good

I think I'd like to try the tin t4 one of these days too, just to see how they compare

in this house we temporarily support android as being the superior choice for regular human beings up until a 3rd party alternative can take over

I believe google finally got the license or whatever for RCA messaging now too so

#

yeah, no reason

timber ridge
#

rca isnt widespread tho

#

but there is improvements

swift lantern
#

anyone who was getting an iphone probably has the data anyway though

#

let's not lie

timber ridge
#

a lotta ppl get iphone to fit in

swift lantern
#

sub $300 android gang

timber ridge
#

kinda sad ngl

swift lantern
#

it really is

#

the definition of electronic waste

#

hey let me get a $1200 phone so I can snapchat all day

timber ridge
#

chill out bruv

swift lantern
#

no

timber ridge
#

apple has the best built phones tho

#

build quality wise

cunning hearth
#

^

#

their phones are good kuzu

timber ridge
#

but they messed up on the 12 big time

swift lantern
#

I don't think that even is true

#

but even if it WAS

timber ridge
#

rumors is theyre bringing back the s naming scheme

swift lantern
#

they have so many anti consumer things it don't matter

timber ridge
#

so iphone 12s this year and its basically gonna be what the reg 12 was supposed to be

cunning hearth
#

the 12 is a miss

swift lantern
#

they're so mask off "give me your money GunLeft " at this point

timber ridge
#

12s may have no ports

cunning hearth
#

none at all?

timber ridge
#

nope

cunning hearth
#

not even lightning or usb c or whatever?

timber ridge
#

nope

#

theyre pushing mag safe charging

cunning hearth
#

then only wireless charging?

#

oh

timber ridge
#

either gonna happen this gen, with the 12s max pro or whatever

cunning hearth
#

does that mean u have to buy extra charger

timber ridge
#

or theyll wait one more generation

swift lantern
timber ridge
#

im not sure if apple is gonna give you the magsafe charger

#

i would hope so, bc its something new

swift lantern
cunning hearth
#

if they dont thats a scam

timber ridge
#

yea

#

wish apple had better preorder deals

cunning hearth
#

they dont even give u earbuds anymore

#

sad

timber ridge
#

i had a iphone 12 preorder but i cancelled and got nothing

swift lantern
#

I wonder what would happen if apple somehow suddenly disappeared

timber ridge
#

samsung gave me basically 250 to spend on whatever i want for preordering

swift lantern
#

it's complicated cuz I hate apple

#

but I also hate google

timber ridge
#

no ports is not the move

swift lantern
#

because as it turns out, all big corporations are kinda evil, who would've thunk it

cunning hearth
#

apple is good

swift lantern
#

no

cunning hearth
#

yes

#

their phones at least

swift lantern
#

we haven't even discussed their biggest glaring terribleness

cunning hearth
#

and their laptops are nice too

swift lantern
#

NO

#

HEAT GENERATORS

timber ridge
#

a lot of ppl blindly buy apple products

swift lantern
#

seriously they have the worst price:peformance out there

timber ridge
#

and live inside the apple bubble lol

swift lantern
#

please, stop

#

ssenti I WILL end you

west hornet
#

Depends what you use it for

swift lantern
#

and I didn't even mention that they don't have expandable storage

west hornet
#

Their new laptops can be decent

swift lantern
#

which is the most laughable thing in the universe

cunning hearth
#

not for gaming

#

but productivity

swift lantern
#

the intel apple laptops beg to differ

cunning hearth
#

bc thats what u use a laptop for

swift lantern
#

they melt

cunning hearth
#

ok the intel ones suck

#

but their m1 is good

timber ridge
#

laptop market is filled with good laptops

west hornet
#

Apples audio routing is so much better

timber ridge
#

amd laptops are op

swift lantern
#

not to mention IOS is just, eyuck

#

I can give apple a singular thing to their credit and that's their audio software implemenation, kinda

#

they're usually pretty good at including eq and all that sort of stuff, garage band, etc

cunning hearth
#

wdym ios is bad

swift lantern
#

but then there's the apple earbuds themselves which are just overpriced garbage

cunning hearth
#

ios is 10x better than android or whatever

swift lantern
#

it is not

#

do you like to play games, ever?

timber ridge
#

i think the only thing i dont like about apple and its not really their fault is that they can release a product that is overprice and no one will question it

swift lantern
#

have you ever once wanted a third party weird app?

#

ever wanted to change some developer options without voiding 10 billion warranties?

cunning hearth
#

yea a lot of ppl buy apple’s overpriced products

swift lantern
#

ever wanted expandable storage? usb c charging?

#

A HEADPHONE JACK

cunning hearth
#

usb charging is possible with 12 i think

timber ridge
#

but you cant really blame apple for it, you gotta blame the consumers

cunning hearth
#

headphone jack idrc that much

#

if ur gonna use headphones with a phone it’s probably gonna be wireless

swift lantern
#

that's true I can mostly blame the consumers like SSenti here for being [swearword]brains

timber ridge
#

bruh

swift lantern
#

have you ever wanted to plug your phone into your car for example

#

better than messing with bluetooth

timber ridge
#

apple is lowkey stomping in cpus

#

forsure in the phone market

cunning hearth
#

^

swift lantern
#

I can't deny their cpus are powerful but it's like

timber ridge
#

theyve been ahead for aslong as i can remember

swift lantern
#

again the majority of people jsut browse stuff

#

Like

#

it's pointless

timber ridge
#

but samsung is bouta catch up so gg

#

samsung x amd lol

swift lantern
#

it doesn't matter if you put a 9900k in a laptop if the only thing people do with it is browse facebook

#

yknow what I'm saying

#

like it's again just electronic waste

timber ridge
#

true, a lotta apple users are not aware they own the fastest phone

#

most of them care about camera quality

#

which ios is lowkey stomping too

swift lantern
#

except

timber ridge
#

not camera wise, but post processing n stuff

swift lantern
#

Huawei has the best cameras at the moment

#

best night sensor at least

#

absolutely destroys everything else

timber ridge
#

you cant beat apples camera software

swift lantern
#

but they did

timber ridge
#

if apple had like samsung sensors

#

they would stomp

west hornet
#

CoreAudio and CoreMidi on macs can be a deal breaker, if you use Adobe it’s typically more stable on mac, has a bit of the “it just works” feel. Downside is the price for the hardware is not good at all, games are non existent, no upgradability, repair if you do have an issue can be expensive

timber ridge
#

and apple records the best videos on phones

swift lantern
#

seriously I hate it

timber ridge
#

ios can record in raw if i remember correctly

swift lantern
#

stop selling supercomputers to people that don't use them

#

REEE

west hornet
#

Apple adding camera raw capability was a good move, I hate when I just see manufacturers add more and more cameras and make it feel like a huge thing

timber ridge
#

yea

#

wish theyd focus more on the software side of things

#

and perfect that

#

on paper, samsung should stomp apple but its even

swift lantern
#

the year is 2030: the iphone 15 has come out

#

it has 18 cameras and absolutely no physical ports or buttons

timber ridge
#

although i do think samsung's phones are more versatile when it comes to cameras

swift lantern
#

and it costs $2500, screw you give me your money

#

samsung is slowly following the trend as well

west hornet
#

They do mostly work on software, adding raw photos is basically (or should) take out all the processing done on a photo which is much better for some people

timber ridge
#

and samsungs are more expensive rn lol

#

theyve been for a while

swift lantern
#

for these reasons I will stick to the smaller guys

#

they are more in tune with what people ACTUALLY use phones for

timber ridge
#

samsung only allows you to shoot in raw in pro mode

#

but why huawei out of everything

#

they legit got the hammer

swift lantern
#

well when you were talking cameras I just mentioned them

west hornet
#

Huawei lol

swift lantern
#

if it weren't for some certain things I would 100% be rockin a huawei

timber ridge
#

you cant go wrong with any flagship if you want good cameras

swift lantern
#

those certain things being that I'm on verizon

timber ridge
#

cdma cursed

swift lantern
#

it really is

#

but I'm kinda stuck with it for at least another year

timber ridge
#

switch over to cricket lol

swift lantern
#

hopefully after that I'll try something like mint mobile

timber ridge
#

they use at&t towers

swift lantern
#

mint mobile uses all towers

#

seems very appealing

timber ridge
#

o ggs

#

are they gsm

west hornet
#

Just buy a dslr

timber ridge
#

o ghosty

#

have you heard that apparently the reason why sony isnt stomping bc they dont wanna kill off dslrs

#

they wanna make sure their phones come no where close to it

#

at least they use to, dont know about now. Read the article a long while back

west hornet
#

Idk anything about Sony phones but their mirrorless cameras are really nice

timber ridge
#

their new phone can be used as a display for their cameras

west hornet
#

Oh that’s interesting

timber ridge
#

its 2 grand tho

#

expensive for a phone, not for a display

west hornet
#

true

strange ridge
#

sony still does phones

#

ill say one thing about huawei and thats no one in the US has replacements for their screens around me and its trash

daring zenith
#

le chine

timber ridge
#

i almost got a huawei back in the day but went with xiaomi instead

#

huawei was lowkey doing good for a chinese company too, they had honor phones at bestbuy n stuff

#

xiaomi doesnt even have that yet

pale plume
#

How about this. I've got $200. That needs to get me a set of smaller speakers without a sub and a set of headphones. Headphones don't need a mic, as I don't do any co-op stuff.

daring zenith
#

31$ gets you a ur40, 20$ gets you a meizu dongle, and the speaker can be ~150$

sly warren
#

I'd skip speakers in the range below 500 USD

#

Because they are all crap compared to headphones.

swift lantern
#

I mean in terms of the raw technicals but sometimes people like having outloud stuff

tight pulsar
#

doesnt room size/speaker placement affect speakers a lot

queen sigil
#

is the meizu dongle for phones onl

#

only

#

And also how sturdy are koss ur40s

little crater
little crater
#

just dont throw them lol

queen sigil

im either gonna get porta pros or ur40s

little crater
#

for what

#

listening on the go or at home?

queen sigil
#

at home

little crater
#

i think the ur40s would be better and probably more comfortable, but i couldnt say for sure as i have used neither KEKW

sly warren
#

Porta Pros are actually fairly comfy

queen sigil
#

I mean i'm not the type of person to wear porta pros or ur40s out in public

sly warren
#

And you can upgrade that comfort for another 12 bucks by buying Yaxi Pads

queen sigil
#

Yeah thats what I was planning to do

sly warren
#

I asked my Fiancee to buy me a pair of Porta Pros for Valentines day.

#

Because I bought her makeup that was animal crossing themed.

ye nachos they do a bit, speakers are great for some things but you should set em up somewhat decent

scarlet parrot
#

Anyone think it'd be fine to grab Gateron switches off of Glorious' site instead of Keychron's site?

timber ridge
#

glorious is missing gat yellows which are one of the best gateron switch imo

scarlet parrot
#

Ah ok cool, thanks. I just thought it was better because they gave more for the price of 39 (+shipping) versus spending $50 to add up to 96 pieces.

#

Never listened to the gat yellows tbh I'll try to watch a vid rn on them.

timber ridge
#

which are you planning to get?

#

and id be careful with picking up switches base off of sound bc theres a lot more to it than the switches alone

scarlet parrot
#

Probably was going to pick up blues or even black. I have Browns rn.

#

Is that so?

timber ridge
#

pretty much every part of the keyboard has a factor to the overall sound

#

the gateron cap and durock option are really good linear switches for the price

scarlet parrot
#

Honestly didn't know that, thanks for the heads up.

#

never even heard of durock before tbh.

#

Only saw a vid of Durock and it seems interesting

WOOOOO someone bought me a vinyl rip

wanton burrow
#

For what

#

What size do u prefer

#

Clicky, Tactile, or Linear?

Clicky is clicky

Tactile has a lil bump before u fully click it

Linear gives a smooth, soft, light feel

wanton burrow

Rgb? Wireless?

oblique swallow

idm wired or wireless

Keychron c2 :P

sly warren

Or K4 when it comes back in stock.

tight pulsar

southpaw 1800>fullsized

queen sigil

i mean for that budget you would just be getting a membrane

i dont think there are any special keyboards in that budget

A keyboard that uses a membrane to activate a keystroke

astral lion

is the status cb-1 good

i hear from people that they are good

but they dont have too much bass

queen sigil

Are you looking for a recommendation or are you just asking to see if it's good

everyone recommends the aurvana live but i cant find any good earcups for that

im looking for a recommendation for over ear headphones i dont mind if they are wired that have good audio and good bass

its really not hard

and you can get a good solder iron/solder/solder pump for like $50

For funsies

what is that

those looks so similar to some adams audio monitors

So these meizu dongles... They're only like $23??

west hornet
swift lantern
#

yeah $20-22

pale plume
#

Gotcha. Pleasant surprise.

swift lantern
#

makes me wish my phone would simply cost $22 more and have one inside

pale plume
#

No kidding right

west hornet
#

meizu and apple dongle great options as cheap dac amp to get away from the integrated

pale plume
#

Hmm my motherboard only has 1 usb c port.

swift lantern
#

I think I really do need a dac for my phone but for the weirdest reasons

#

basically, discord calls on my phone get really wonky if there's a stream also

timber ridge
#

you sure thats not a software issue?

swift lantern
#

it could be actually

#

could just be discord being a butt

timber ridge
#

prob

torn summit
#

sennhieser 6xx or beyerdynamic 1990 pro

swift lantern
#

neither

daring zenith
#

Going by the guide pinned, DT880 and 6xx are what should be compared

swift lantern
#

neither

daring zenith
#

What's wrong with dt 880s?

swift lantern
#

well idk those might be okay

daring zenith
#

I know 6xx mids aren't really impressive, and everything else just average, that's why you guys don't really like it

swift lantern
#

the fact that the beyers have a reputation for having too much treble, coming from audiophiles who appaerntly have crappy treble reception in their ears, makes me think that they'd actually destroy my ears

#

Like I'd put on a track and as soon as the drummer starts my ear drums would burst

daring zenith
#

says "relatively non-offensive sound signature" so I assume shouldn't be that bad

#

but 1990 pro says "Slight upgrade to the DT880 in resolution but treble is much sharper and grainier"

timber ridge
#

dt880s have a lot of treble but not too much unless you got ears like kuzu

#

and 1990s and 6xx is kinda a weird pick

#

300$ dif or about

swift lantern
#

the 1990s are $600!!??

#

you could get some better planars for that much, definitely

timber ridge
#

1990s are really good

#

but weird comparison

#

and have you not looked into 1990s

west hornet
#

i enjoy the 6xx

small nimbus
#

agree I think they're the best

swift lantern
#

Someone legit told me "bro you have to let them burn in"

timber ridge
#

why did you get 6xx if you like lots of bass

swift lantern
#

I was hoping for an increase in fidelity overall

Hello, I am new to PC’s. I have an Xbox series X rn and going to be switching to PC but playing on controller. Does anyone have good suggestions on headsets/mix amps that would be compatible with the PC and controller?

swift lantern
#

Do you need to plug it into controller for distance

wintry shuttle
#

Sorry don’t want to sound like an idiot, but do you mean distance between controller and PC?

timber ridge
#

on pc, you dont need to plug the headset in the controller anymore

wintry shuttle
#

I’ve been suggested the Astro a40 TR mix amp ones for Xbox

#

Are those trash?

timber ridge
#

this is for pc right or for both

swift lantern
#

Well now I've no clue, idk what a mix amp is

wintry shuttle
#

Pc but using Xbox controller

#

Amp is to control other sound backgrounds, like chat, game play, music, etc

#

I believe

#

May be wrong

timber ridge
#

get a dedicated mic and headphones

wintry shuttle
#

Can u send link

#

And what is that ?

timber ridge
#

whats ur budget

swift lantern
#

You don't need a separate device for that

wintry shuttle
#

Ohhhh

daring zenith
#

Desktop amp is for making it nice and loud

swift lantern
#

If he's not an audiophile we need not recommend him expensive stuff

wintry shuttle
#

I’m not just for gaming

#

Does Best Buy have anything worth while

timber ridge
#

not really

#

anything with gaming in it except monitors and mice are trash

#

there is a few exceptions with headsets but barely like 3

wintry shuttle
#

I just have a lot of gift cards to there lol

#

What would y’all suggest then?

daring zenith
#

UR40 to start off is also an option until you figure out if you want to spend more for audiophile things

swift lantern
#

They need a mic tho

#

Is there a mod mic cheaper than ur40 actually

#

Other than boom pro which requires line in

daring zenith
#

ur40 is just so nice and cheap lol

swift lantern
#

Mod mic is $10 more than ur40 itself

wintry shuttle
#

Yeah it would be strictly for gaming

timber ridge
#

bestbuy has some good stuff i can check what they got

wintry shuttle
#

Plz do

swift lantern
#

Wait just for gaming or not just for gaming

#

Is this a 9500 boom pro momento?

wintry shuttle
#

I’ve got quite a few hundred in GC’s there #

#

Just for gaming

timber ridge
#

BB lacking in headsets but he can def find a mic there

#

theres a coolermaster mh751 which is a takstar pro 82 clone

swift lantern
#

There are cheaper detachable mics but they require line in

torn summit
#

The reason I picked those two is because those are the ones I’ve heard of that are good

#

But i want more bass so would the 1990s be better?

timber ridge
#

if you can spend 1990s money, get e-mu teaks

swift lantern
#

If you are gonna drop that much, look into avantone and Hifiman Sundara @torn summit

timber ridge
#

they got the best bass

#

but do you have an amp/dac ?

torn summit
#

No I was also looking at the schiit hel

timber ridge
#

id get a stack instead

torn summit
#

Could you link

timber ridge
#

and 6xx is not the best in the bass department

torn summit
#

Yeah that’s the reason I was unsure about those

wintry shuttle
timber ridge
#

yea, but there is better options

#

thats jus one option

#

thats end game for bassheads

daring zenith
#

modi/magni stack is how you make fortnut appear

swift lantern
#

Emu teaks eh...

wintry shuttle
#

So which ones would you guys suggest for gaming? If I ever want to go pure audio I’ll upgrade

swift lantern
#

I'd try them for funsies

timber ridge
#

fostex would be endgame but price

swift lantern
#

If you're just gaming get a headset for now

#

No need to upsell them

wintry shuttle
#

Which one would you suggest

timber ridge
#

the thing is, there is not headset for gaming

#

gaming headsets have trash sound sigs

#

and 7.1 surround sound is 9/10 times a gimmick

wintry shuttle
#

Hmm so what do u think?

daring zenith
#

PC37x/PC38x :P

timber ridge
#

pc37x/38x is an easy recommendation

wintry shuttle
#

I just need one ASAP Bc mine broke

#

Link?

timber ridge
#

nothing bad to say about them

daring zenith
#

Actually, you think they should get a dac/amp with pc37x/pc38x?

timber ridge
#

theyre the first two that pop up

#

its not needed, but its nice to have

swift lantern
#

LANCE

timber ridge
#

you can pair up something budget like a e10k

swift lantern
#

STOP

timber ridge

and hmm

with what
