i think my rdr2 graphic look weird

nobody has had an answer for this
its an exoskeleton
losing their wings is basically a life sentence for them
opaque sedge
flys and other insects tend to not have this exoskeleton because they also reporduce in higher rates
but lady bugs are also responsible for pollination like bees too i think\
velvet summit
but it doesnt really protect their wings while they're flying
opaque sedge
nope
velvet summit
also yeah the ladybug is a predator to some insect or smth
opaque sedge
but it doesnt really protect their wings while they're flying
u can also infer that it is likely because they spend a majority of time in the ground
sinful blade
It’s a destiny thing
velvet summit
ah they get rid of aphids
i believe butterflies do this as well
or nvm
they dont like aphids either
that means it's the ladybug's job lmfao
opaque sedge
beetles have the wing shells too
flys and bees tend to have nests to go back too but i think ladybugs and beetles dont
velvet summit
interesting

ya
opaque sedge
it is likely beetles and ladybugs have a longern lifespan which allows them to afford more time to look for a mate without being a community

Any headset fr fps gaming that I can hear quite sounds and directional t the best it can be budget 200-300$ also I have a problem most headsets I tried like pc38x crushed my ears in like 30 mins tbh I need to get used to it be if possible take it to account and no need fr it to be wireless or with mic I just want a headset
storm narwhal
Please, if you're going to send a message this long make it more coherent
How is the pc38x crushing your ears?
proud jackal
I have a pc38x and it's big on my big head....

I'd say I got pretty big ears too

Please, if you're going to send a message this long make it more coherent
Sorry about that and idk it’s just really tight I returned thm
little steppe
I'd say I got pretty big ears too
Ig 😂

storm narwhal
I don't have that specific set but my ears totally fit in them
storm narwhal
Sorry about that and idk it’s just really tight I returned thm
How long did you wear them for? One day?
little steppe
How long did you wear them for? One day?
No lol fr almost a month I would take breaks to switch to my iems and rest my ears
storm narwhal
Huh, I took about a month for my 58x's and they broke in by then
And those are known to have a higher clamping force
little steppe
So what should I get
little steppe
Most ppl recommend me hd560 and hdxx6 or dt990
storm narwhal
Most ppl recommend me hd560 and hdxx6 or dt990
Those all don't have mics though
little steppe
I don’t need a mic
storm narwhal
Oh I thought you did haha
Those aren't bad recommendations too then
HD560 should be pretty nice
HD6xx have a little more resistance though so you might need to up your volume more
Dt990s are also good but iirc more pricey
little steppe
HD560 should be pretty nice
I mainly care about the sound quality especially directional audio and being about to hear quite sounds
little steppe
Cause rn I got truthear nova it’s decent but when ever there is loud sounds I can’t hear anything I need all my surroundings to be dead silent or I will not hear anything
Is the sound different between the pc38x and hd560
little steppe
I am on console btw
storm narwhal
I think the pc38x has a slight bump on the high end
Okay the 38x have a bump in the bass end
Makes more sense
So they'll have slightly stronger bass than the 560S
Personally I'd prefer the 560S cause they're more neutral
mortal grail
Is the sound different between the pc38x and hd560
560S is slightly clearer
little steppe
I just want to loud sounds quieter
mortal grail
Source: I own both
icy ore
Took me a while to get used to the 38x tho tbh
storm narwhal
Source: I'm looking at graphs
icy ore
They’re still really good just different than what I was used to
little steppe
On my nova if i increase volume quite sounds disappear
mortal grail
On my nova if i increase volume quite sounds disappear
If you want this then you want more neutral headsets
Neutral - treble boost
little steppe
Well not completely disappear but it’s almost Impossible to understand to the point directional audio is impossible to distinguish between the two sides
storm narwhal
Oh gotcha I see
mortal grail
Pc38x is quite neutral
storm narwhal
Yeah what feetlicks then
mortal grail
Koss porta pros are also comparable to the sets you're looking at
Yes, they're $30
I'm dead serious
storm narwhal
Ya know, I did think about those but I initially thought he wanted headsets
But yes, they're ridiculously good
little steppe
Koss porta pros are also comparable to the sets you're looking at
I had a cheap headset before and it broke like one side stopped functioning
storm narwhal
The only issue people ever bring up about it is the looks haha
mortal grail
I had a cheap headset before and it broke like one side stopped functioning
Pretty normal way for them to die tbh
Anyway yeah I am fairly sure the two sets you're looking at, also the portas would be pretty great. You can boost them with a dac+amp to make them even clearer
I normally recommend the topping dx3+ pro
But bare in mind I believe the mic won't work with that
little steppe
I am on console idk what fax and amp are and any software yall are using
mortal grail
Ah console
storm narwhal
Yeah console
mortal grail
Nvm about that last bit then
storm narwhal
They'll all still work
little steppe
I’ll get a pc sometime this year I am a console main since ps3
mortal grail
Though be wary about the clamping force on the sennheisers, it's quite strong on the temples at first, it'll loosen with time though, consider an alternative if it's quite painful
little steppe
Depression at its finest
mortal grail
Meh, consoles great
storm narwhal
Though be wary about the clamping force on the sennheisers, it's quite strong on...
They always need to be broken in
storm narwhal
Some people have put them on mannequin heads to help with that haha
little steppe
I don't judge
Ik but I have been missing out tbh
mortal grail
Some people have put them on mannequin heads to help with that haha
That's actually an excellent idea, or two pillows
storm narwhal
Yo pillows is genius tbh
mortal grail
Ik but I have been missing out tbh
Not really imo, consoles are great these days
storm narwhal
You definitely have two pillows at home
little steppe
I saw ppl put the headset between books
storm narwhal
You might not have a head at home
mortal grail
I saw ppl put the headset between books
Yeah that works two
storm narwhal
Pillows nicer

Lmao

Ok so what should i get like I am a bit confused

For console pc38x or koss porta pros
Honourable mention to cloud ii wired
You mentioned novas, nova pro is already excellent if you have it
The very expensive one
May need some fine tuning perhaps
little steppe
I didn’t like the pc38x
mortal grail
I see
storm narwhal
Clamping force
storm narwhal
PC37X
mortal grail
They're very similar in sound to those but no where near as bad
Nah
Pc37x is just weaker pc38x
storm narwhal
Oh shoot nevermind kekw
velvet summit
i did tell them to try using books to stretch the band to lower the clamping force, but yeah
mortal grail
Yeah see what you can do, I wouldn't recommend more senns though after an effort
velvet summit
well, they couldnt do that since they borrowed the headset from a friend
and already gave it back
mortal grail
Ah ok
Yeah the koss are my suggestion
Very similar, but a bit less noise isolation
Very cheap
Great mic despite being basic
Like
Amazing tbh
storm narwhal
Definitely worth a try
mortal grail
If not those then cloud ii mate
velvet summit
price to performance and comfort, koss definitely wins
mortal grail
Koss really wins in everything but noise isolation for that price
Amazing value if you don't like iems
little steppe
Amazing value if you don't like iems
I like iems but as I said they aren’t what I need I can’t hear properly
Very inconsistent
velvet summit
(i was assuming it was due to the frequency curve)
storm narwhal
They're currently sold through on drop though
mortal grail
I feel like we've had a discussion before now but can't be sure lol
velvet summit
they talked to me about it in #peripherals-and-displays yesterday
mortal grail
Ah ok
storm narwhal
It does sound like that was the issue
velvet summit
their iems are the truthear nova if you missed it from the perhiperals chat
neutral sound signature
velvet summit
very good iems for music, gaming maybe a bit worse yeah
little steppe
very good iems for music, gaming maybe a bit worse yeah
Yh music is a blast
mortal grail
You could also try maybe apple dac if they're wired
Might help a lot
Usb-c controller might work with it
little steppe
Why did u remove 560s
mortal grail
Cos you didn't like pc38x
velvet summit
they want to track other players by sound, iems tend to have very narrow soundstages so that is not ideal for that
little steppe
Cos you didn't like pc38x
I was told it’s very different
mortal grail
Noooo
I own both man
560S is a bit clearer
Functionally practically the same
Whoever said that hasn't owned the other set
storm narwhal
I was told it’s very different
They're not lol
velvet summit
honestly, from testing, the 3 blob soundstage of the hd6xx might actually work fairly well for tracking players through wall, but you will require an amp
mortal grail
Hd6xx is different
storm narwhal
It is
mortal grail
If that's entertainable
storm narwhal
Slightly less high bass, but more treble
Vs pc38x
But not enough to call it very different
mortal grail
The only headset I've suggested that I haven't tried here is cloud iii
I am taking that from an audiophile review
Which is rare as gaming headsets are normally ignored by them
little steppe
What is more fr me cause again my problem is that if I struggle to hear quite sounds and directional audio I increase the volume and then loud sounds overshadow the quiet and make directional audio impossible to understand on the truthear
velvet summit
anything but iems is better
due to the nature of iems being stuck in your ear canal, the soundstage is practically just in your head
storm narwhal
Oh yeah, soundstage is bad with all iems
mortal grail
Hmmm
So @little steppe is it sound or comfort
I read what you said, just making clear of the need
What didn't you like about pc38x?
little steppe
So <@437269885295263745> is it sound or comfort
Well it’s both but I favor sound cause if I get a comfortable head that lacks the sound I want I accomplish nothing comfort is important but sound way more
I’ll get use to it even if it takes months
silver sparrow
being deaf in one ear makes getting more sound specific things really annoying, like WOW surround sound, so i can hear 50% less of the time
mortal grail
Koss porta pros/ksc75x

Does the Maxwell has anything special in sound or is just it’s wireless capability’s
mortal grail
Audeze? I don't know those tbh
storm narwhal
I may have mentioned the audeze maxwells
Ghosty owns a pair and says that they're amazing
mortal grail
6XX from what I suggested should be objectively better than all the others I listed
Including 560s/38x
Yeah I have no bearing on maxwells, ghosty is pretty good though, it'll be a good suggestion
storm narwhal
might just need to turn the volume up more than you expect for the 6xx
little steppe
6XX from what I suggested should be objectively better than all the others I lis...
Most vids online say 560 so I was about to get but I just dk
mortal grail
I get them saying that
But 560s is like barely better than 38x
I can say this as I have used both
I can show you a pic if you want
One sec
little steppe
Na I believe u
mortal grail
Alr
little steppe
I just want to make a good buy yk
mortal grail
All good man
little steppe
Is the 6xx more comfortable then 560
mortal grail
But yeah if you found the 38x unimpressive, aim higher than 560s
I would say so yeah
little steppe
But yeah if you found the 38x unimpressive, aim higher than 560s
Yh I kinda did
mortal grail
It's a different fitting band on 6xx
Iirc
So it should feel at least a little different
The 560s/38x has padding under the plastic band, and it's quite firm
Iirc 6xx doesn't have that, I believe it's a different design
little steppe
Is the 6xx new?cause I didn’t find thm last year I think
velvet summit
6xx as the revision is like 6 years old
mortal grail
Most of the headsets from senn use really old drivers
velvet summit
but it's based off of the 650
mortal grail
They got it right years ago and just keep selling
storm narwhal
why fix what isn't broke
mortal grail
560S uses drivers from like 1993 iirc
velvet summit
honestly the whole 600 series is really just the same drivers with different foam in the back to slightly modify the sound signature
little steppe
So nothing good fr steelseries they are known fr best headsets
mortal grail
Apart from nova pro nah
storm narwhal
only nova pros are good yeah
mortal grail
Anyway I gotta go, hope I was a little helpful mate, good luck with the choices
little steppe
Ok thx
storm narwhal
feetlicks strikes again
little steppe
Nova pro wireless yall mean?
velvet summit
wired or wireless
storm narwhal
I'd still go with Feetlick's reccomendations

Amazon most likely
little steppe
What is the difference In sound regarding open/closed
storm narwhal
open has better soundstage and are more neutral
velvet summit
less bassy to be more exact, closed backs are able to get more bass more easily
storm narwhal
closed will inherently have more bass and worse soundstage
storm narwhal
less bassy to be more exact, closed backs are able to get more bass more easily
mmhm
little steppe
So open is better fr my case right?
velvet summit
well, planars have better sub bass afaik, though those are more for music listening than gaming
well, yes and no
storm narwhal
no noise isolation for open ears, so you can hear the room around you
velvet summit
open back also is very subseptical (how tf you spell that) to outside noises, there is practically no noise isolation
storm narwhal
susceptible
velvet summit
storm narwhal
but yeah, same point haha
velvet summit

When in doubt use browser
velvet summit
The nova pro comes with a dac
less relevant to your use
storm narwhal
dacs don't really do much for you
velvet summit
im assuming you're going to be plugging into your controller since you're on console
storm narwhal
they're for listening to music
velvet summit
which a dac would be useless
storm narwhal
which a dac would be useless
for plugging into a console and just gaming
also they're $360
that's over your budget
velvet summit
looks like the dac does work for the playstation, but not the xbox
no idea what console this person has though
doesnt really matter though honestly
storm narwhal
again, the dac won't see any benefit for console gaming
velvet summit
not a gamechanger
little steppe
Yh I understand
north crescent
Assuming you even got an external DAC on a console, do any console games have good enough audio quality to notice a better DAC?
little steppe
So there’s no point to buy it
storm narwhal
Assuming you even got an external DAC on a console, do any console games have go...
"garbage in, garbage out"
velvet summit
real
storm narwhal
can't magically make bad audio sound better lol
velvet summit
well, you technically can, marginally
storm narwhal
So there’s no point to buy it
also yes there isn't a point in your case
velvet summit
but it's like polishing a turd
north crescent
Assuming you even got an external DAC on a console, do any console games have go...
I guess there is EMI stuff, but idk if anything else?
storm narwhal
it's gonna be over a wireless controller so
velvet summit
I guess there is EMI stuff, but idk if anything else?
built in amp could be garbage idk
little steppe
it's gonna be over a wireless controller so
I’m using wired if it matters
storm narwhal
it'll sound a little better than wireless then
but it's not important for what headphones you buy
little steppe
Ok so I should just go fr the 6xx
north crescent
Really depends on how crazy devs go with console assets. Never really looked into that. Regardless tho, you have other "issues" regarding quality like wireless, when comparing to an external DAC.
velvet summit
you'll need an amp to drive that
storm narwhal
sure, the 6xx are good
north crescent
built in amp could be garbage idk
More so PSU/SoC stuff
velvet summit
solution: use the optical out from your tv into a schiit modi into a vali 3 into a hd6xx
storm narwhal
jesus christ lmao
you just might need to turn up the volume more on your controller for the 6xx
velvet summit
you're probably going to be at max volume for it to be a normal audio level, and then the audio quality wouldnt be the best
since it would still not have enough power to properly drive the headphones
afaik it's the bass that would suffer from insufficent power
turn an already neutral headphone into no bass headphone frfr
little steppe
you're probably going to be at max volume for it to be a normal audio level, and...
That sounds like what I am trying to avoid
velvet summit

hd600 series is bascially amp needed territory
surprisingly my motherboard has a sufficient amp to drive HD 660S at levels that can deafen you

interesting
tranquil pebble
it supports up to 1000 ohm impedence

i dont think that is a normal motherboard

1000ohms?

/s
tranquil pebble
also 1000 ohms sounds like a scam
Well, thats according to Realtek software anyways
Realtek ALC4080 in my board does absolutely drive HD 660S at absurd volumes though
rancid juniper
driving gtx 660?
velvet summit
if im not mistaken, that was the headphone with the 250ohm
everything else is like 300 ohm
tranquil pebble
if im not mistaken, that was the headphone with the 250ohm
660S is like 150 iirc
tranquil pebble
even my 3DS drives it at acceptable volume
I got the headphones for $200 refurb by the manufacturer
A steal, really.
velvet summit
id assume refurb means new pads
tranquil pebble
new cables too pretty sure
in any case they came in like-new condition + full warranty with everything you'd expect from them new
tranquil pebble
id assume refurb means new pads
at the price I paid, I suspect they were trying to liquidate some old stock tbh, because it was less than market value
velvet summit
true, could be possible
tranquil pebble
They beat the hell out of the Bose ones they replaced
velvet summit
the 660s2 did come out fairly recently
tranquil pebble
yeah thats part of why I say that
velvet summit
(there wasnt really any significant changes though outside of like visual from what i saw from reviewers lol)
well, the ohm rating did go back to 300
tranquil pebble
Well, I got a good deal from it so whatever lol
tranquil pebble
not really needed though
velvet summit
true, but you can shift the sound signature
tranquil pebble
isnt that what equalizers are for?
tranquil pebble
eh, what I have is already overkill for my use lol
660S are already very comfortable

(honestly a $100 headphone is often actually very noticeably better than a $10 headphone LMFAO, though a $1000 is less noticable from a $100)
spending $100-200 on headphones makes sense, but spending $1000 on one doesnt make much sense
rancid juniper
Eh
Most I'd probably spend on headphones is $40-50 range
Doubt I can go higher than that
velvet summit
there is definitely a bigger comfort and such difference, also (at least for over ears) you cant really get any decent wireless headphones for less than like
60 or whatever
probably 50 honestly
60 is more of cad pricing
