[daring zenith]

Well, would try get Zen dac and a k371

[rigid valve]

$120? Where?

[daring zenith]

That's what vintage is running atm

[clear lichen]

Amazon, I’ll send you the link

[rigid valve]

Fun fact: in Malaysia audiophile discord they shill zen dac
That’s the only rec

[daring zenith]

Lol

Zen dac is nice for the price tho

130$

[rigid valve]

Yes

The next step up would be like
Pile o Schiit
But that’s a solid 190-200

[daring zenith]

Mhm

or Meizu dongle if you're talking to skiptrace

[rigid valve]

lmao

[clear lichen]

Wow ok

So I could get the k371s for $120 and a Zen DAC for $130 and just scrape by huh

I want a dac anyway so that’s honestly fine

[daring zenith]

that should be good

[rigid valve]

So uh @clear lichen did u ever find that link

Cuz I can’t

[daring zenith]

dunno, maybe they're looking at used/renewed?

but k371 is usually 120$

right now it's just out of stock from akg afaik, just random 3rd party sellers

[rigid valve]

Yeah they 150 on amazon right now

There’s a renewed one for 112 though
Might cop

[gloomy berry]

If you like a neutral sound, absolutely

If you want bass, I'd say find something else, just being honest

[daring zenith]

yea I believe that's what they want

[gloomy berry]

Clarity and soundstage is awesome but they're light on the bass

[rigid valve]

I have a basshead pair already so yeah looking for neutral sound

[gloomy berry]

Then you'll love them

[daring zenith]

yes

[rigid valve]

The other pair I have literally has a frequency graph that looks like this
__
…..\

Big bass and no highs

[gloomy berry]

I'm perfectly happy with my K371's and Zen Dac combo

It's even great in games

[rigid valve]

Could I also get like an E10K or Schiit Loki in the feature and do the EQ thing

[clear lichen]

The price literally increased since yesterday according to honey wtf

https://www.amazon.com/AKG-Pro-Audio-Headphones-K371/dp/B07WZH7WM9?th=1

[rigid valve]

Unfortunate, but thanks for looking!

[clear lichen]

np

Meze 99

AKG k371

[rigid valve]

No

That’s a botched test

I know what you’re looking at

The first Amazon review, right?

[clear lichen]

yeah

[rigid valve]

I will send more accurate tests after I finish lunch

[clear lichen]

among all other tests this seems like the most common

[rigid valve]

That looks much more accurate

It follows the Harmon target 95%

(not a statistic backed by evidence, just inference)

[clear lichen]

honestly I'm just gonna probably get these (even though they're $50 more than before) and the Zen Dac

when I have like free money in the distant future I'll invest in the Meze 99s

because these seem like a safe bet and the only way I'll get away with good sound for cheaper

I noticed you guys were talking about how the Zen DAC as just a thing that everyone recommends immediately

I realize that that is probably the most mediocre and reasonbly priced one I could get right away

[rigid valve]

Zen DAC is great

[clear lichen]

but since I'm kinda on a tight budget (I can't really spend more than $240) is there a cheaper option?

[gloomy berry]

It has different firmwares available as well

[daring zenith]

gonna grab charts from crinacle

[clear lichen]

like just $30 dollars cheaper or something

[gloomy berry]

Let me get you the one I'm using

[daring zenith]

k371:

[rigid valve]

you could also get K361s, which are ever so slightly brighter

[daring zenith]

meze 99

[clear lichen]

Damn that seems able to be EQed out

and I honestly do want more base

hmm

now I'm rethinking

also, real quicj

does the Zen DAC allow for mic input?

[rigid valve]

if you want more bass also consider DT770s for a cheaper option

[daring zenith]

look at the bottom bit against whatever curve it is

[gloomy berry]

The GTO firmware is the one I liked the best

[rigid valve]

iirc no

[rigid valve]

thx

[gloomy berry]

It does not

[daring zenith]

what curve does crinacle compare against

[rigid valve]

if you need a mic in get a Schiit Fulla

$110

[clear lichen]

oh nice

yeah that sounds great

[clear lichen]

this name has to be a joke lmao

[rigid valve]

Schiit?

naw is real

their marketing is quality

[clear lichen]

Ik schiit is real

but the Schiit Fulla

[rigid valve]

lmao

[clear lichen]

my little dumbo brain can't help but flip them

[rigid valve]

@daring zenith dont you have the Schiit Fulla labeled as funny joke in device manager

[clear lichen]

lmao

[daring zenith]

against IEF Neutral, k371 against meze 99

[daring zenith]

no, I never changed it, that's literally what schiit calls it

[rigid valve]

...

LMFAO

[daring zenith]

that's what it says in the manual

[rigid valve]

bruh

[gloomy berry]

I want one just for that XD

alright so

I'm gonna have a great time convincing my dad to actually think this is real

[daring zenith]

https://www.schiit.com/products/fulla-2

[clear lichen]

I would just get the Neos and the Schiit Fulla if I had $310

but I don't

so I'll go with the K371 and the Schiit fulla for $260

[rigid valve]

quality choice

that's likely gonna be my first setup as well

[clear lichen]

which honestly is the cheaper than anything I can seem to get an audiophile community on reddit to recommend

[clear lichen]

alright

that's cool dude

[gloomy berry]

Audio people do be.........different

It's honestly a great way to get your feet wet without breaking the bank

[daring zenith]

the good way to get your feet wet without breaking the bank is ur40/porta pro with meizu tbh xD

[rigid valve]

reddit recs are p bad imo

[clear lichen]

It's like if I was trying to play a game and people that have played it before are telling me to play it on the hardest difficulty

they just do not give good advice

[clear lichen]

So I've found

[daring zenith]

always depends on who you talk to tho

[rigid valve]

They're always either people with $20 for a full setup or people with $1000 just on the stack

at least in my experience

[daring zenith]

lol

[clear lichen]

Literally no subreddit I've gone to has given me a good recommendation

on really anything at all

[daring zenith]

lmao

[gloomy berry]

Well, it's Reddit

[rigid valve]

r/headphones did rec me Starfields for iems

that was a quality rec

[gloomy berry]

I got a pair of Jabra Elite 75t's on Prime day. I gotta say, they sound pretty dang good

ANC is great as well

[clear lichen]

If I ever want better earbuds then what I got rn then I'll probably go with some starfields

[rigid valve]

interesting question

[gloomy berry]

Audio driver matters not

[clear lichen]

cool

[gloomy berry]

UNLESS

[clear lichen]

AAAAAA

[daring zenith]

onboard audio

[gloomy berry]

You have a sound only DAC like my iFi Zen

Then you need audio driver for mic

😉

If you have a Fulla with mic and audio it doesn't matter

[daring zenith]

heh

[clear lichen]

oh ok cool

[daring zenith]

never need drivers

pc37x + fulla op

[gloomy berry]

USB?

ah

ninja edit

[clear lichen]

you're just slapping the keyboard and typing random words now aren't you

[daring zenith]

pc37x and fulla

[rigid valve]

Drop PC37x Headset

[clear lichen]

just a little guy

Ok why does the look of the Schiit Fulla make me laugh so hard

he just looks like a little dude

He's small and he's angry and he's gonna cost you $110

[gloomy berry]

-_-

what it looks like

[clear lichen]

accurate

[gloomy berry]

With a top hat

[daring zenith]

it is an angry lil guy

[clear lichen]

he's disappointed in me for not having such raw style as he has

[gloomy berry]

So a Sophisticated -_-

[daring zenith]

I got fulla 3 but they updated it to a fulla 4 now

[clear lichen]

thoughts compared to something like the Zen DAC?

[daring zenith]

slightly worse afaik, not too sure on specifics

[clear lichen]

is the difference really noticeable?

wait do you have both of them or am I just confused

[daring zenith]

I just have fulla

vintage has zen

[clear lichen]

oh ok

well I feel I already know this one but it's better than System audio right?

[daring zenith]

ofc

[clear lichen]

if so I don't really care about it being better or worse than any other DAC

alright cool

and you only need an AMP if you have chunky headphones that pull more ohm right?

[daring zenith]

fulla is a dac+amp

so is zen

anything with a knob has an amp basically

[clear lichen]

oh ok

So it's decidedc

I am now about to punch myself in the bank

[rigid valve]

sorta

[clear lichen]

?

[daring zenith]

better amp gives you more ommph

[rigid valve]

^

but you are correct

in that you only need an amp to drive chonkers

[clear lichen]

oh ok the k371 only needs a little so idc

[rigid valve]

for example, i could drive K371s on my phone

would it sound great? prob not

but it would work

[clear lichen]

yeah that's one of the main reasons I wanted to get these

more portable and less draining

alright thank you guys

[violet dune]

It arrived a day early

[clear lichen]

Nice bro

I'm on the C2 and I love it

lucky yours arrived early tho lol

mine arrived like 10 days late

[daring zenith]

c1 neat

[violet dune]

Yup yup. Unfortunately have to go to work before I can set it up. Was on my way out when I saw the box on my porch lol

[calm cobalt]

Sad

[daring zenith]

but soon

[sturdy sinew]

Mr11 have you had any experience with the shure sm58?

[daring zenith]

nah

[sturdy sinew]

damn

[daring zenith]

Ghosty would likely have more experience with mics

[sturdy sinew]

yea ghosty has helped me out with mics in the past

didn't know if ghosty was on though

[gloomy berry]

not currently

Should be later in the day

[sturdy sinew]

yea that is what I figured

[clear lichen]

btw, at what point does spotify downloaded audio quality become not really good enough

like when do I need to start using Tidal or whatever (Which I don't want to use if I'm honest)

Have any of you had to switch

[gloomy berry]

nope

[rigid valve]

not really ever unless you're listening to it through your Australises with a $400 custom cable and a Schiit Yggdrasil

[clear lichen]

[gloomy berry]

https://tenor.com/view/mind-blown-amazed-explosion-space-omg-gif-10279314

[west hornet]

Technically i am still not on but i have used the sm58 before. I enjoyed it good tone. Decent vocal mic with a lot of flexibility. It is a dynamic and ive had to do a bit of volume leveling in some recordings because the subject kept moving closer and farther from the mic lol

[clear lichen]

So I was looking into getting the Schiit Fulla and I realized that the thing is gonna ship in like 3-4 months

And if I’m paying $110 for something I’m not waiting that long

Is there any other DAC/AMP with mic for around that price?

I’m on the verge of just buying a Modi and a seperate mic that can just plug in with USB

But the problem is

Looking at the modi

I literally don’t see a 3.5mm jack

Like where is it

[gloomy berry]

Most DAC's are 6.5 mm

and come with an adapter

I use a ModMic. Sticks to your headphones and sounds pretty decent too

[clear lichen]

Oh ok

[clear lichen]

What’s mod mic?

[gloomy berry]

https://antlionaudio.com/

[west hornet]

3-4 months?

Are you outside of us

[clear lichen]

No I’m not

Hey @daring zenith could you help me out real quick?

I don’t really have the money for a DAC rn, so I was just wondering if you could test your headphones with your fulla and with your system sound

I just want to know how much of a difference it makes

[rigid valve]

That’s actually a good request
The Fulla obviously will help but if you’re on a tight budget you could always like… not get it until later.

[clear lichen]

I looked into DACs and it honestly doesn’t really seem like I need it that much because my onboard sound is honestly pretty good besides some constant hissing which could be fixed with an apple adapter

So unless Mr1111 comes back with results that say there is a crazy difference, I’m good just getting the apple adapter.

For now at least

[rigid valve]

Get meizu instead

Meizu dongle is like $30

Best sub-100 DAC imo

[west hornet]

Hmm i live on opposite of country from schiit it take 1 week ship idk

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rigid valve]

Oh yeah Schiit is located in Cali and Texas

Literally I’m sandwiched between them

Very poggers

[gloomy berry]

They might have fallen victim to the supply issue finally

Semiconductors.

[rigid valve]

Noooooooooooooooooo

[sturdy sinew]

so um for the sm58 does anyone know if you can drive it without a inline preamp with the m-audio-m track solo? or should I just grab a focusrite 2i2?

[west hornet]

I cant say for the m track and i don’t recall having used a sm58 with my uphoria but i used it with my motu m2 and it worked just fine. Btw this was at ~50-60% gain and was for singing

Subject was close to mic most of the time, varied 2-6in away

[sturdy sinew]

alright

so

if i wanted to future proof an amp wouldn't I go with the motu m2?

so like if I wanted to upgrade to a better mic down the road I can use that amp

[exotic cosmos]

Should I get a separate keyboard for my laptop? 🤔

[rigid valve]

Do you want one?

[exotic cosmos]

yes, but I need reasons to convince my dad

lol

[rigid valve]

Never gonna happen
Trust me, I’ve been trying literally all year

[queen sigil]

there isnt a good reason unless you have a seperate monitor

[rigid valve]

You gotta make your own money

And spend that

[thick tartan]

unless you travel alot

i wouldnt see a reason to get a seperate keyboard for ur laptop

[exotic cosmos]

sadge ok thx

[west hornet]

motu m2 and 2i2 both good

[daring zenith]

yea, trying it rn, my onboard is decently high end (alc1200), but it's just.... lacking in everything. Most noticeable one is just that it's so god damn quiet, at full volume, it feels like if I was doing like 25% volume with the volume knob on the fulla, and after that, it feels like the details are kinda gone, and bass is kinda gone, testing it with some flacs I have laying around. And well, you can definitely do apple dongle or meizu dongle for now for the dac, and separate usb mic, and/or just grab a zen dac and separate usb mic if you have enough budget.

As a side note, I also have meizu dongle, compared to fulla, in my opinion, there is quite a bit less bass, bit less detail, but soundstage is still good.

I'll also paste some of the flacs you can experiment with later

not too sure if this is real flac or just mp3 turned flac, (Actually flac) but sounds nice, so I listen to it :P

this one is nice too

anime op

This might also be mp3 turned flac, (Actually flac) but still sounds nice

[tight pulsar]

goliath is nice

[daring zenith]

ya

I need to find some tools to figure out if some are just mp3 turned flac

[tight pulsar]

can't you just look at the details of the file

[daring zenith]

iirc need specific software, and the one ghosty(?) used was paid

this thing was what I was thinking off

nvm found a tool

looks like first one is true flac

gon check last one

this also looks to be lossless

side not, unplugged from onboard audio and plugged into fulla and damn is it nice to have the volume up

and the bass, and details

and soundstage

[clear lichen]

Alright cool thanks this is what I needed

I'll probably just end up going with the Meizu dongle then

Affordable time scale, affordable, and decent everything

So in the end I think I might just end up going with the Meze 99 Neos and the Meizu Dongle

Thanks guys I honestly was super confused before

[daring zenith]

not completely sure how hard the meze 99 is to drive, but meizu should theoretically be okay with it, but if it's too quiet, you know where the problem lies.

[west hornet]

i forgot the free program, ye i use paid - Adobe Audition

lol are all those songs you got from me

sus, it is my 24bit version of goliath smh, that artist has some nice songs i feel he a bit underrated

omg wait that is 83mb

lol was this a vinyl https://i.imgur.com/Uvbt25x.png

i just feel so ashamed that i discovered woodkid from geo dash....

https://youtu.be/yne2jl4peas

[clear lichen]

One of the main selling points of Meze headphones is that they only take like 30-40 ohms to drive

26 ohm for these

And the Meizu dongle is good all the way up to 600 so I’m good

I don’t listen to audio that loud anyway, I got sensitive ears, so i should be fine

I hardly turn my system volume up above 18

[thick tartan]

bois i just creamed

i want these but ggs i have to wait a whole year LOL no ty

[daring zenith]

Well, resistance isn't the only thing, like the PC38x has a lower resistance rating than PC37x, but is reportedly harder to run

[clear lichen]

I’ll be fine until I get an AMP

People can run Mezes off phones

what are some good open back pairs for around 100 USD? but preferably under 80 ohms

I was looking at AKG K240s but I'm not sure if they're that good or not

[wispy gale]

guys what do you think of this mouse, it is "dragon war g25" and it is 40 dollars, should i buy it ??

[rigid valve]

I've never heard of that mouse in my life

[wispy gale]

0-0

thats a bad sign 0-0

[gleaming pond]

same

[regal thicket]

Get a g703

[rigid valve]

but why

[regal thicket]

It nice mouse

[rigid valve]

its $80 tho

g305 is literally the same mouse

that little of an ergo is pointless

[regal thicket]

Or

G203

[regal thicket]

Ur $80

[rigid valve]

?????

how old are you

[gleaming pond]

G305 is cool

[wispy gale]

will take into consideration, thanks

[regal thicket]

Don't get a g703

I mixed up the mice

Get a G203, or a Razor V2 Orochi

[rigid valve]

why not g305 lmao

its more on par with the Orochi

[regal thicket]

g305 is neat too

I just was aiming for a cheaper mouse since they said $40

[rigid valve]

$43

[regal thicket]

Ye I saw

Specifically the blue one lmao

[rigid valve]

lol

[regal thicket]

Also wired

[rigid valve]

huh

[regal thicket]

The g203

I noticed the mouse he wanted was wired too

[rigid valve]

oh yea

[gleaming pond]

goddamn the blue is NICE tho

[rigid valve]

yea

[clear lichen]

g602 is the mouse I personally use. It’s extremely durable, I’ve had it for 6 years. It’s wireless, and it has a bunch of programmable keys on the side. This mouse looks nice, but if I’m honest, these gamer mice never end up working nice.

you can’t really compare them because one is made by the one and only pwade and the other is just lame hk gaming

[dreamy goblet]

anyone tested/know how bad the latency is with bluetooth 5.1 on a keyboard? (more specifically, the k6)

[rare raft]

anyone know of some good headphones for 150 or lower

[rigid valve]

Closed-Backs
AKG K371s $140 - Fairly neutral sound signature, not very fun for emotional listening or bass-heavy music. Very clean sound though
AKG K361 $105 - Brighter sound than K371, which means less bass and more highs
Creative Aurvana L!VE $75 (not sure if in stock) - V-shaped sound with more bass and highs

Idk much about openbacks sorry

[dreamy goblet]

tbh, i never really saw the incentive to get such an expensive headphone

[rare raft]

it all depends on preference

[rigid valve]

$150 isn’t expensive for headphones lmao

[rare raft]

^

[dreamy goblet]

tru but im not into audio, so it is for me

[rare raft]

see thats what i mean its more a preference thing

[rigid valve]

It’s the upper limit of budget for closed-backs and the midrange budget for open-backs

[rare raft]

@rigid valve Whats some good headphone fore bass

[rigid valve]

Open back or closed back

[rare raft]

closed

[rigid valve]

Uh

Specially for bass

[glad yarrow]

skullcandy crushers

[rigid valve]

Hmmmmm

I’d probably recommend DT770s but those are $160 on amazon

[west hornet]

Dt770 would not be good for bass

[rigid valve]

Ok

[rare raft]

what would be

[west hornet]

Hmm idk much in the bass market but what was the budget

[rare raft]

around 150

it doesnt have to be like pure bass headphone i just wana make sure they have some good bass

[rigid valve]

Oh lmao

Cuz I was gonna check out these

[rare raft]

prolly should a specified

[rigid valve]

B a s s

[west hornet]

Maybe like the akg 371

[rigid valve]

K371s don’t have a ton of bass as vintage will tell ya

But it’s enough to be noticeable

[west hornet]

Maybe one from the hifiman i cant recall the freq response tho

[wanton burrow]

haven't tested but i think the alu frame could cause interference with the bt it has

also see other ppl complain about it, tho i still yet to see someone suggest a way to fix it.

[daring zenith]

I have a k8, no complaints for the bt latency @dreamy goblet

I also have alum frame, doesn't seem to affect anything

[grand ether]

Finally a replacement for my old Lenovo keyboard

[rigid valve]

nice

[daring zenith]

It's a start

[grand ether]

I know it's not a fully customizable keyboard but I don't have the interest in it

[daring zenith]

It's also wacky Logitech proprietary switches, but yea

[grand ether]

The GX Brown are much better than whatever Lenovo crammed into the old one

[gleaming matrix]

Corsair support for their keyboards is worth not recommending them to anyone. It's been 4 days with no reply

[queen sigil]

corsair bad

[lavish cosmos]

Yeah overpriced keyboards

Well everything tbh but i feel bad for buying thier fans and aio back when i didnt know alot about pcs

[gleaming matrix]

[grand ether]

I have been staying with Logitech because they have been great so far

[daring zenith]

It's a start to the adventures of keeb

Don't entice him

[daring zenith]

[rigid valve]

the adventures of keeb are fraught with financial misfortune and existential crises

[daring zenith]

it's decent in general considering all the gaming keebs

so good nuff for now

but in a few years....

[rigid valve]

in a few years he'll be sitting with his $2500 TGR Tomo build like "i never shouldve listened to that guy"

[daring zenith]

lol

it's probably going to be some completely new keyboard tho

[rigid valve]

yeh

[grand ether]

Ah you underestimate me I have an RX7

[rigid valve]

oh

[grand ether]

I'm not even interested

[rigid valve]

that's what they all said

[daring zenith]

mmmmm

[grand ether]

Rotary do be money pit

[daring zenith]

there's a ton of pits for you to fall into financial despair

[grand ether]

Yup and I chose RX7

[daring zenith]

keebs here, audiophile equipment over there, cars in the back, computers on your right

[grand ether]

Thankfully I got the most expensive part as shift for my PC

[daring zenith]

money is temporary, enjoyment is forever.....
or not

[grand ether]

[grand ether]

My RX7 and computer would disagree with that

alright sounds good, i ordered the k6 with alum frame, hopefully there isnt any issues

[dreamy goblet]

i literally have the exact same keyboard rn, and its pretty bad

[grand ether]

What switches?

[dreamy goblet]

logitech's switches are very mushy

[dreamy goblet]

the linear version pretty sure

how much did you get it for?

[grand ether]

Odd because when I have typed on it for a bit it was clickey and responsive

[grand ether]

$100 for the GX Brown

[dreamy goblet]

wow

still pretty overpriced

[grand ether]

It's really nice tbh

[dreamy goblet]

tbh

[grand ether]

Yes it is

I agree with that 100%

[dreamy goblet]

ig if you like it

but 100 is a bit pricy

[grand ether]

Some of the different switches can feel mushy but these ones are good

[dreamy goblet]

mhm, maybe mine is older

[grand ether]

Better than the $140 most other places were charging for the GX Brown

The blue clicky ones were the cheapest but they are too loud for me

[dreamy goblet]

ig if your a gamer and isnt really into keyboards then you might like it

[grand ether]

I am not into keyboards at all

[grand ether]

I use an ancient Logitech keyboard

[dreamy goblet]

yea, if i was you and had a budget of 100, i would have went for a keychron

[dreamy goblet]

its definitely an improvement alright

xD

but you prob dont care about hotswap or wireless

how are the stabs on your's?

[grand ether]

I have only had bad experiences with wireless

[grand ether]

? Whats that?

[dreamy goblet]

yea some people just arent into wireless but i just dont like looking at wires allday

[daring zenith]

stabilizers

[grand ether]

I don't like them

[dreamy goblet]

yea

on the space, shift, delete etc

[grand ether]

I route them under my pc

[daring zenith]

if you take the keycap off your spacebar, you'll see it on each side of the switches

[grand ether]

I don't know

It's still in its box actually because Im not going to be home for a while

[dreamy goblet]

mine is as dry as the Sahara desert

[dreamy goblet]

oh, sounds exciting

hopefully you like your new keyboard!

[dreamy goblet]

how come?

they are the king of budget wireless hotswap

[grand ether]

I tested it with a family members pc and it's really nice

[dreamy goblet]

i can see why you like it, but

[grand ether]

I don't really care for the ability to swap anything and I don't really want to build it and I also didn't like the one I borrowed for a while

[dreamy goblet]

its just really mushy to me

[dreamy goblet]

yea ight, thats why brands like logitech are still able to sell keyboards

xD

[grand ether]

It is

[dreamy goblet]

there are so many smaller brands that sell cheaper bards

[grand ether]

I only went with Logitech because they are the only company that has not let me down so far

[dreamy goblet]

lol

[grand ether]

I tried that once and the keyboard was dead very soon after the warranty

[rigid valve]

whcih keeb though

small brands aren't off brands

[grand ether]

Don't remember by now

[dreamy goblet]

ye there are bad ones definitely that are "scams" but there are certinally good ones as well

[rigid valve]

Consider branching out to different brands
Logitech boards are p meh

their low-profile boards are stupid overpriced

[dreamy goblet]

yea but he is not into keb

yup

all of their boards are overpriced tbh

[rigid valve]

I mean just in terms of saving money

for a similar product

[grand ether]

Well next time I will look into it but for now I'm going or use this keyboard for who knows how long

[gleaming matrix]

Shoutout to best buy for letting me exchange my broken keyboard for a new one even though it was past 15 days

[rigid valve]

Nice

[sturdy sinew]

let's go

[rigid valve]

wassup

[sturdy sinew]

wassup

I don't have questions this time

[rigid valve]

did something happen

oh wait you said lets go to the doctor

:p

[sturdy sinew]

yea I said, "let's go" because (the doctor) said shoutout to bestbuy

[sturdy sinew]

My fault for he typo

[left trellis]

any thoughts on banana split switches?

[queen sigil]

poo

[thick tartan]

the company who makes them is poo but theyre good switches

[grand ether]

But yeah excited to get my G513 home and plugged in

[left trellis]

ok ok i just got some pewter and banana splits so i’m excited, just wanted to hear some opinions lol

[rigid valve]

Only worth for the sound, and TKC is not a great company imo
Still nice and smooth

Make sure you film though as they are not very tight

[left trellis]

hm ok ok, thank you guys

[rare raft]

Is the dt990 or 880 better

[sly warren]

The DT880 is technically better. But I wouldn't recommend it anyways.

Asking for advice for Headphones/IEMs:
1: Location? Some things may be accessible in other parts of the world more than others, like the US.
2: What is your budget? List what you are comfortable with spending.
3: Do you have any source gear such as amplifiers or DACs?
4: What environments are you using these in? Is it noisy?
5: What other audio equipment have you had, or, more specifically, enjoyed?
6: What genres and types of music do you listen to?
7: Do you want Headphones or IEMs? Can specify both too

[rigid valve]

Honestly question lists like these are so so so useful

[sly warren]

That is from a pin from the Dankpods server.

It's very handy for people trying to pick out Headphones.

[rigid valve]

I just
Can’t bring myself to trust dankpods with audiophile recs

[sly warren]

Oh, I don't. But the people IN the Dankpods Server in the Audio-general channel DO have good recommendations.

[rigid valve]

Everyone I’ve talked to who watched him primarily as a source of information is hilariously uneducated

[rigid valve]

Ah

[rigid valve]

UR40s?? What are those?? Clem are you stupid why do you shill Koss? WHAT THE HELL ARE KOSS GMRs???

Actual convo I had just last night

[sly warren]

Ok, Koss GMR headsets aren't great.

Koss UR40 are 👌

[rigid valve]

GMR Airs p good

Especially for $40

[sly warren]

Sadly they aren't the same UR40 driver...

[rigid valve]

Sadge

[sly warren]

They aren't the Koss 60 ohm drivers

Which is

[rigid valve]

Big Sadge

[west hornet]

Porta pro 🐐

[rigid valve]

You don’t believe the hate I get for reccing Porta Pros

[sly warren]

Eh, Porta Pros are a bit dark and muddy.

Now, KSC75? Those are 🔥

[rigid valve]

KSC75 too
I rec’d those one time and deadass just got “aren’t those outdated”

[sly warren]

Where though?

[rigid valve]

Keyboard server

It’s of minimal importance

Just venting

[sly warren]

F to those people then.

[rigid valve]

Yep

Oh btw K371s dropped to $140
Expect a full drop back down to $120 soon

[sly warren]

I will say, I love my HE-X4. I think my next pair of headphones are going to be ATH-R70X's though.

[rigid valve]

Praying for some flash sale so it goes to like $100

That would be lit

[sly warren]

The R70X are apparently really good for Stereo Imaging.

Which is one of the keystones to having a good gaming experience.

Turn off all that Headphone 3D Effects garbage, just good ol Stereo Imaging.

[rigid valve]

Yes

[sturdy sinew]

go xlr mini any good?

[latent hull]

Are the kz zs10 good iems for gaming and audio work?

[gleaming matrix]

Are brown or red gateron switches better on a keychron?

[rigid valve]

Never heard of em, might be fine

[rigid valve]

Preference. Reds are linear and Browns are tactile

[daring zenith]

I would go brown if you're not sure about your preference

[sly warren]

Not really. IEMs are not that good for Gaming Audio due to their typical lack of Soundstage and Imaging. And there's better IEMs for around the same price.

Blon BL-03 and Tin T2 Plus would be better options for IEMs in the cheap range.

[west hornet]

Arias are pretty nice

[rigid valve]

More expensive tho

[sly warren]

They are, I have them and definitely love them.

I just don't really use IEMs at my desk right now.

[west hornet]

Ye not at desk, more for travel

And sometimes vr

[sly warren]

KSC75 for VR are goated.

[west hornet]

Might have to modify a bit, the clip is too hard to get on my ear rn

[latent hull]

Ok, thanks for the suggestions I need them for audio engineering and figured they could be used for gaming so that I dont have headphone hair

[sly warren]

🤔

If you need Audio Engineering gear, get AKG K361/K371

[west hornet]

Actually maybe want to look into speakers, many people like to mix with some nice monitors tho can be bit more expensive. Something like kali audio lp6 is nice on budget

[latent hull]

This is for my church and we already have headphones, and speakers. I was just told that every audio engineer also has their own iems for mixing if something doesnt sound right

[sly warren]

That's... not true at all.

[west hornet]

Ahhh. Not always true but i can understand. I usually like to use a iem with good isolation for live environments

[latent hull]

for $60 what would you reccomend for iems or would you say that I should wait and save for the arias

[rigid valve]

Some DJs will use IEMs but most actual studio people use speakers.
Context: my friend is a wannabe billboard topper

[hollow flower]

What’s a good desk size mouse pad?

Are the novelkey ones any good?

[sly warren]

Tin T2 Plus

[queen sigil]

imo for aesthetics u gotta see how it compares to ur desk

[steep pelican]

You can get custom desk mats made for not that much

[hollow flower]

I ended up getting an Aqua Control + in black

Should be a nice contrast with my white Linnmon

[thick tartan]

damn i was gonna get either sparks or arias for gaming i heard their soundstage isnt that terrible for it atleast

idk anything about audio so quote me if im wrong but couldnt you get a schiit stack and pair it with an iem or at that point is it not worth it

[sly warren]

Sparks wouldn't be good for Gaming in the first place because Bluetooth.

Arias are... not really suited for 3D games. Though 2D games, or rhythm games they would do well with.

[thick tartan]

hmm

[thick tartan]

lessgooo

[rigid valve]

Aye

[gleaming matrix]

Are gateron brown switches better than cherry mx switches?

[rigid valve]

Not really

I’m so stupid omg

Spent a solid hour trying to crimp one end of my practice cable, got everything set up, had to restart twice
Then it’s done, lookin awesome
So I test it out and it doesn’t work
“What”
And then I realize IT WAS BACKWARDS

[gleaming matrix]

So cherry mx switches are better?

[rigid valve]

Not really

Cherry MX and Gateron switches are very similar stock, even lubed

Gaterons might be a lil smoother but the difference is likely to be minimal unless you’re very experienced

If you faced the connector directly so you could see the copper bits, it would look like this

big big big big BIG brain

[steep pelican]

What’s a practice cable

[rigid valve]

An old cable I had laying around
Used it for practice

[gloomy berry]

This is why i said practice XD

Been there done that

[rigid valve]

Lol

[still lily]

ay what app can i download to record clips ?

[rigid valve]

Lots

But this ain’t the right channel for it

[unique mulch]

Hello

Can someone help me to choose switches

[rigid valve]

Yep

What’s your budget
Linear, Tactile or Clicky

[rigid valve]

…or not

[glad yarrow]

lmao

[hollow grotto]

has someone heard about the svive keyboards?

[gleaming matrix]

Anyone know a good headset I got a razer kraken v2 but it's breaking

[west hornet]

Pc37x or pc38x are pretty good at a mid price point

[gleaming matrix]

under 100$ sorry

[west hornet]

Maybe a cloud ii

[arctic lichen]

Trying to decide between the hyperx alloy origins core and xtrfy k4 tkl. I don't care about software too much and I don't mind abs key caps either. The price is about the same so that doesn't matter, I want linear switches and fairly good stabs as well. Which one is the better keyboard?

[rigid valve]

HyperX Cloud II or Cloud Alpha

[rigid valve]

No prebuilt is going to have particularly great stabs. As someone who owns an Alloy Origins (full-size version) I can say they’re pretty not good
I would instead grab a Keychron K8 ($90 on Amazon) for its wireless compatibility and hotswap capability. If you want better stabs you’re going to have to install them yourself, and that is soooo much easier with hotswap. https://www.amazon.com/Keychron-Bluetooth-Mechanical-Tenkeyless-Hot-swappable/dp/B0875W65Z2/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=2K6VBLRN2DT6N&dchild=1&keywords=keychron%2Bk8%2Bhot%2Bswappable&qid=1624802660&sprefix=Keychron%2BK8%2Bh%2Caps%2C218&sr=8-1-spons&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzTEZBMkZTRlpOQ0FPJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMzU0ODk5MlpVOVI1U1RTMjQxVCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNTg1NTkxM0lIWlJaQ0s4M0lHUyZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU&th=1

Sorry for the ugly link I’m a smoothbrain

[arctic lichen]

alrighty, imma check that out

thanks

[gleaming matrix]

Logitech G533 any good?

[rigid valve]

In terms of audio?

Severe doubt

[gleaming matrix]

Only concern with the hyperx cloud 2 is the noise cancelling which is probably weird to hear lol

[rigid valve]

Since when does the cloud 2 have ANC

That’s a gimmick on the product listing “passive noise cancellation”
Just means that it’s a closed-back headphone

[gleaming matrix]

Do you have em? Wondering if a software is gonna be required to download

[rigid valve]

I do not

However if you ever need software it’s gonna be HyperX NGENUITY, which I do own

It’s not a bad software

[gleaming matrix]

Okie, thanks

[rigid valve]

anytime

[west hornet]

Probably only need a software if it’s using usb

[rigid valve]

Yo

[rigid valve]

What are some measures that I should take to ensure that my Ethernet switch is as low-maintenance as possible?
Also why do these fricking RJ45 connectors have staggered holes instead of straight ones

[gloomy berry]

Ethernet switches require no maintenance at all

Think of it as a fan hub splitter for Ethernet

[rigid valve]

Ok

[gleaming matrix]

Is there perhaps a good wireless headset?

Under 150$?

[daring zenith]

There's good wired headsets at the price, but wireless headsets are kinda bad in general

[rigid valve]

^^^^

[still lily]

hello question how do i join the minecraft discord server it says it is full

[west hornet]

There is a hard limit for users in a server, i think its 800k if its max then all you can do is wait for someone to leave

[pine nexus]

I just found out how to vertical mount my mousepad

[timber ridge]

koss gmr air

[daring zenith]

How does that stack up to a cloud ii?

Not sure on how good it is

[timber ridge]

not quite sure but theyre similar to porta pros

but a bit better

[daring zenith]

Hm

Thought worse than porta pros

[rigid valve]

I don’t think they same driver

GMR Air better for <50 budgets

Cloud II better for <100 budgets

[daring zenith]

Wonder how gmr air would sound with a dac

[timber ridge]

lol cm made a 2.0 for mh751

you guys can start recommending that now

[rigid valve]

Mh752?

It looks p good

V3ry comfy from what I’ve heard

[timber ridge]

theyre jus takstar pro 82s rebranded with a slight retune but nothing major

unless they changed a lot from the 1.0

[arctic lichen]

@rigid valve I did some research and right now I can't get the k8 anywhere. And I'm using a random 20€ keyboard atm so tbh any keyboard's stabs will win these easily, got any other recommendations

Also I can't get Leopold keyboards in my country

[rigid valve]

Consider Keychron C1 instead

[arctic lichen]

I'll take a look

Damn, can't get that either. Sucks to live in Finland...

I can get Varmilo keyboards but they're too expensive

[timber ridge]

try a durgod k320

[arctic lichen]

Can't get those in here

[timber ridge]

ducky miya pro ?

[arctic lichen]

Too expensive

[timber ridge]

womier k61/66?

its kinda flashy tho

[arctic lichen]

Can't get that either

That's cos I need iso layout

[neon quartz]

FanaticPanda#9000 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[arctic lichen]

Alright then, can't get anything in Finland

I know there's better keyboards out there but how about the hyperx alloy origins core, it's only 80€ and I can get it

I'm thinking of going with that or the xtrfy k4 tkl

[rigid valve]

I have it, not bad

[arctic lichen]

Have u swapped the keycaps?

[rigid valve]

Not yet, but they are shining

So I might grab some replacements

[arctic lichen]

Alr, I was thinking if the cable would interfere with my mouse, has that happened to u?

[rigid valve]

No

[gleaming matrix]

The rgb looks so much better on the keychron than the k60 see pro

[daring zenith]

@arctic lichen Pretty sure Keychron directly will ship to finland

From our previous experience, the following countries/regions haven’t been charged for import tax including the U.S, Singapore, South Korea and other EU countries (except remote area) such as Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom

[arctic lichen]

Oo

Imma have to check that out

[daring zenith]

https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k8-tenkeyless-wireless-mechanical-keyboard?variant=32018252857433

[steep pelican]

tbh with the q1 idk if ill buy the assembled one, ill probably just get the barebones and take the holy bobas out of my kbd67 lite and use some gat yellows for the f keys since i dont have enough switches

30 dollars for switches and keycaps is compelling tho

[timber ridge]

i think ill only buy a q1 if it sounds good

nothing else really catches my interest but its def a good budget board

[half rapids]

Hello am having trouble finding a decent headset for around $100

[rigid valve]

HyperX Cloud II is closer to below 100
Drop Pc37x is closed to above 100

Also the Cloud Alpha ig

[half rapids]

Thanks

I appreciate it

[gleaming matrix]

Seems like every headset sucks for breathability

Do you guys think the cloud 2 wireless is worth it?

I have to make phone calls with the microphone as well so mic quality is a must

[rigid valve]

No

[rigid valve]

Get a separate mic

The cheapest high-quality mic I feel safe recommending is the Samson Q2U ($60)

[gleaming matrix]

But den I gotta buy a gud pair of headphones lol

[rigid valve]

Ig

But I mean

You could get Porta Pros and a Q2U

Or sum

[gleaming matrix]

Porta pros good for gaming?

[rigid valve]

They’re alright I would say

Soundstage is good

[gleaming matrix]

Like valorant and hearing peeps

[rigid valve]

Yeah they should do fine

[gleaming matrix]

Okie cause yeah, you gotta hear where people are coming from so you don't get rekt

[gleaming matrix]

Would the Logitech g pro x be a good balance for sound and mic compared to the cloud 2?

[queen sigil]

sound>feel gang

[timber ridge]

yea but i already got two builds with decent typing experiences

got a scarlet and an alice board coming in

[queen sigil]

i might start lookin for boards again soon now that im makin money

maybe ill talk in glorious disc instead if making fun of wangson

[thick tartan]

lmfao

[timber ridge]

whats ur budget and what form factor ?

[rigid valve]

lmao

[queen sigil]

tbh im open to like anything if it looks good

biesdes 60

like id take maybe even a 40 or 45 but not a 60

[timber ridge]

f2 is coming out

[wanton burrow]

[timber ridge]

r1 frog is gonna be like impossible to get

he already has a few spots saved for streamers

[queen sigil]

ill use my bauer luck to get a frog

[timber ridge]

if you want gaskets then ur not getting it with the frog tho

[queen sigil]

bruh idc about gaskets tbh

as long as it aint something like traymount and it doesnt have like a brass plate

[thick tartan]

probably some dumb number like 15 or 20

[steep pelican]

yeah lol

im going to have to use mining money to buy this since i dont have a job yet 😐

unfortunately places dont hire 15 year olds

[thick tartan]

thts cringe

[steep pelican]

not that many at least

[thick tartan]

i was working when i was 15

but like very limited part time

cause curfew

[steep pelican]

my cousin is 15 and works at costa vida i guess

[rigid valve]

ur close tho

working age in az isd like 16

[steep pelican]

nah its 14 but most places require you to be 16

[thick tartan]

clem hows ur wiring going nerd

[rigid valve]

its fine

i took break

bored

[thick tartan]

lmfao

i bet

i too am bored

[wanton burrow]

sell one of ur dad's mic

[wanton burrow]

sure sure, you can wait until the revised design goes up. and oh iirc it's an instock item so it's not so much of a problem when it comes to waiting

[steep pelican]

oh nice

trying to find jobs is confusing

people be like 15 - 20 dollars an hour, must have bachelors in video editing with 5 years experience in video editing and filming

[rigid valve]

i mean

thats not crazy

id wanna hire someone with experience for 20/hr

[thick tartan]

also true

[steep pelican]

my cousin makes 18 an hour at his dads office as a glorified dishwasher

hes lucky

all he has to do is wash all the surgical tools, sterilize them, then empty the blood buckets at the end of the day

[rigid valve]

my friend's friend makes 20 an hour as the desk boy at a pizza place

and h'es 15

[steep pelican]

bruh

5 admins on huh

[half rapids]

Get into construction if your looking for a job. I started a year ago when I was 15 and they are always looking for people who have good work ethic. And trust me when i say they have all the hours you need.

[shadow bane]

Yeah im 15, I got a summer job working for someone who does home repairs, it took a while to find one but it's possible

[timber ridge]

lowkey a good thing

imo stacking up on budget boards isnt a good idea

[rigid valve]

the nice thing though

67lite still oos

so you can upsell it

[timber ridge]

i sold mine for 150 like a week ago or some

[thick tartan]

im a be honest not a fan of the look either

[steep pelican]

really huh, mechmarket?

ive never really used reddit so im not too familiar on how to use it

[timber ridge]

offerup lol

[steep pelican]

wait actually? local or shipped

[timber ridge]

local

[tight pulsar]

everybody here is stuck in midi hell for keyboards

[rigid valve]

ok

[daring zenith]

lol

[timber ridge]

i got a cool alice kit otw 😎

[tight pulsar]

which one

[sharp kindle]

I think lance got samice

[timber ridge]

yup

not a rukia but still cool lol

[steep pelican]

huh no results

[rigid valve]

hehe

[thick tartan]

honestly even better no ones offering on offer up

[timber ridge]

maybe bc i sold it already

[steep pelican]

tofu 60 for 500 makes sense

[thick tartan]

honestly yea

[rigid valve]

facts

such sense

mhm

[thick tartan]

tofu is a 500

e

z

[rigid valve]

you could easily build a tofu60 for 500

[timber ridge]

would make sense if they had expensive switches and rare caps

[thick tartan]

he picked the worse caps LMFAO

[timber ridge]

but still wouldnt be a good idea

[thick tartan]

theyre starting to shine in tht pic

[timber ridge]

yea its def over priced

[steep pelican]

its l + f zilents but still

[timber ridge]

bruh

[thick tartan]

silent switches

[timber ridge]

why do so many budget builds on offerup use zilents

[thick tartan]

[timber ridge]

i saw a k8 with l+f zilents

[steep pelican]

200 for gmmk pro, durock stabs, and pc plate is like msrp

[thick tartan]

gmmk pro is like wat 150?

stabs are like 16

20 buck profit

amkes sense

[timber ridge]

thats actually a good deal

pro is like 180 + tax

[thick tartan]

oh interesting

[timber ridge]

then he bought aftermarket stabs and extra plate

[thick tartan]

yea thts def a nice deal

what do you guys think of mavix chairs btw

[timber ridge]

really hope keychron makes q1 godlike

and make the pro obsolete lol

never heard of mavix but it looks like a chair i saw on amazon for like 1/3 of the price lol

[thick tartan]

yea i might snag one

my chair looks like it came from the graveyard

[timber ridge]

they seem really expensive for what it is

reminds me of this https://www.amazon.com/NOUHAUS-Ergo3D-Ergonomic-Office-Chair/dp/B07L4ZQMDX/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=ergo+chair&qid=1624910473&sr=8-5

[thick tartan]

oh

[timber ridge]

pesonally, i have a hard time justifying chairs over 500, but thats just me

[thick tartan]

wats a good ergo chair than

[timber ridge]

so my pick might b a bit bias

[thick tartan]

nah most i spent was 300 before

[timber ridge]

ergochair is a good option

hyken mesh is the best budget pick imo for about 170ish dpending on sales

[thick tartan]

ohh

ima look that up

[timber ridge]

bruh

this lowkey a steal

wait nvm its polia housing

rip

[steep pelican]

Wait polia and u4t housing

How

[timber ridge]

idk

[steep pelican]

They are different switch style

[timber ridge]

jus spares prob

[steep pelican]

I’m assuming they just put the boba stem in the polia housing

[tight pulsar]

it's most likely the leftovers from making holy bobas

that's what unholy pandas are the leftovers from making holy pandas

[steep pelican]

Boba stem in polia housing is actually kinda gross

[timber ridge]

its not too bad considering u4 stem is p expensive

[timber ridge]

you know how boba stems compare to polia or how they feel in t1 housing ?

[tight pulsar]

no

the only tactiles i have rn (most of them are just a handful not 70+) are normal u4s, greetech/cherry browns, kiwis, t1s, ergo clears

oh yeah and some penguins

[steep pelican]

My holy bobas are my favorite switch now by far

They sound so good

My most expensive switch by far now too lol

95 cents a switch hurts a little when you think about it

i can make holy bobas or holy t1s rn

but if i can snag u4 stens and save money then i might jus do that

bruv i just had an argument about 3 kids from glarses server about whether or not holy pandas were overpriced at 1.3 each

[tight pulsar]

why did they say they weren't overpriced

[rigid valve]

I said they weren't overpriced

and they were like "get feker pandas instead they're literally the same thing"

[steep pelican]

95 cents hurts but I think worth it over regular u4t tbh
