  • For me it’s the Superlux HD681. Audiophile-quality sound for $25.

    The deep bass, neutral mids, and near-perfect imaging and sound staging makes them ideal for games, movies, and music. It has an excellent pinna-related transfer function, so everything sounds like it’s coming from in front of you and all around, rather than inside your head. Like being surrounded by speakers. In games you can pinpoint sounds with millimeter precision. And since they’re so cheap, they don’t have to be babied; when they break you just buy another pair and go about your day.

    No joke, I’ve bought and returned $500 planar magnetic headphones that weren’t as good as these. The only issue with them is that the highs can be a bit siblant, leading to harshness, but that can easily be EQed out or permanently fixed with a mod.

    Seriously, just go buy a pair. I mean everyone reading this, even if you’re not an enthusiast. They’re so cheap, it’s all but impossible to regret it.

    No it doesn’t. I’ve been a legal adult for almost 20 years now and not once have I ever needed to use my credit for anything. I don’t even know what my credit score is because I don’t give a single fuck about my credit. If I can’t afford to buy something, I save up enough money until I can. It’s that simple.

    You don’t need a credit card with a $25K limit. You don’t need a credit card at all.

    Like I said earlier, quit whining and take your meds.

    Hey I wasn’t trying to hate; if it works for you that’s great.

    I don’t game on my phone, either (also have a PC for that), but I’m also impatient. Anything that can lead to UI sluggishness is going to be an instant do-not-buy for me. I want my apps to install and open instantly; hell, I get frustrated even if the phone takes more than 10 seconds to boot, especially since I’m already used to my PC booting nearly instantly.

    My impatience is something I seriously need therapy for.


  • Looks like it’s actually the XCover 8 that is is coming out soon.

    Looked into the specs and it’s no wonder why it doesn’t sell. It’s worse than my 4-year-old device. Sucks that you have to sacrifice on performance to gain durability. I rather just buy a 2-year-old flagship and get an accidental damage coverage plan for it.
