What about over the ear headphones? I got beats currently and I fucking hate them. Every once in a while I have to remove them from my computer and re install them because they become "invisible". Its not a simple task I have to go deep into the settings or leave my computer unplugged from the wall for several minutes (insane I know).

They don't have to be "gaming" headphones I have a seperate mic already.

They are used for youtube and movies mostly so I can watch in peace from the rest of the house.

Be honest with you, Samsung is a shite company and I wouldn't buy anything from them that isn't a phone.

My Samsung TV has been good so far like a year in. I don't own anything else. My electric skateboard has Samsung battery cells.

Buds earbuds are almost solely for the compatibility and ease of use with my phone.

Beyerdynamic dt 990 pro for insane comfort and high quality. Mine still work perfectly after 15 years of ownership. I replaced the earpads once. Open back. Possibly one of the best pieces of tech I've ever purchased. I must have dropped these things a trillion times from my desk. Never a single issue.

Beyerdynamic dt 1990 pro if you want that fairly expensive audiophile quality. You will probably want some kind of amp/dac for these. Also open back


I dont like closed back. I have moon drop dusk 2 iems for gaming. They block all outside sound for max footsteps.


There's lots of options, senheisser is good too. I'm a Beyerdynamic fanboy slightly.


Open back won't block outside noise, and if you're listening loudly people can hear it coming from your headphones. Something to consider.

Looks like Sammy escaped the shitty weather of the UK to come to the US. Hopefully he went home though because we're full.

How so?
They seemed to be in alot of YT review vids.
I've had 2 pairs.

Both pairs "pop" at high volume + high pitch. Only solution is to turn down the volume of a particular song or sounds that cause them to pop.

Left earbud of my second pair now only plays at half volume which is annoying enough that I consider the pair to be a total loss. I didn't drop it or store it somewhere that I shouldn't have. Just randomly happened and has not resolved on its own or after I have attempted several remedies.

Both buds have touch features that you can customize in the Bose app. You can program them to adjust volume, pause, change songs, etc.

If you need to adjust your earbud it will active these touch features. If you're wearing a hood and it contacts the buds it will activate the touch features. You're supposed to be able to turn this feature off via the app but they activate regardless. Anytime I needed to adjuet my earbuds for any reason the volume changed, songs got cycled, play got paused. They just do too damn much beyond simply playing what you want to hear.

Edit: the overall sound quality is good and the battery life is excellent. The noise cancelling works very well. Still don't recommend. They'd be worth it at $100 but not $350 (srs).

How are the Misc alternatives fairing? Did Dabbs ever register with any of them?

Damn, I had no idea. I hope everything is good. You're the reason I came over here and a couple years ago when the misc went down but not for good.

I decided to make an account on the New Misc, seems the population is healthy and inviting (politics atleast).
