Are any of the bluetooth ones decent

 

Never ran any to say. Only bluetooth set I use are earphones for when I'm in the shop sometimes.

All my PC headphones are wired, and @Rock Lobster actually 3D printed my headphone stand I use.

 

Currently I have OG airpod pros I wear to work and the gym, with headset/speakers at the desk
The pros will be getting upgraded to the 3's when they release hopefully this year, non-negotiable, since I wear them allll day at work and mine are old and getting shitty, plus I cant wear over ears at work
But I've been thinking about getting nice noise canceling over ears for the gym and anytime I fly since pod noise cancelation will never be as good as an over ear
Probably shouldn't also get a nice pair of desk headphones lol

 

Gotcha.

Yeah I hear airpods are expensive, which doesn't surprise me since anything Apple is expensive AF.

I run wired headphones because good headphones require proper amplification. Higher end headphones normally run at a higher impedance which require a much stronger/dedicated headphone amp.

Thing about quality over the ear headphones is, you can really tell the difference easily between a good set and a bad set. The investment itself is much smaller (with a larger return) compared to higher end speakers/amps in your home.

 

I've got an older pair of Shure headphone and a little Fiio pocket amp, but I really don't use either that much anymore. I've become lazy and phones don't have headphone jacks anymore.

 

i loved my senny headphones. definitely need a dac or amp for those though

on the slightly cheaper side audio technica m30x sound great and will run good without a dac. i still use them for gaming and have m50s for work

 

i got a pair of airpod pro 2d from work and as far as ear buds go im pretty blown away, they beat all the other ones ive tried in fit/retention/comfort/sound quality. not sure i would pay out of pocket for the first pair but i would for another

 

Completely forgot about Shure

Real punch to the gut against Bose where everyone with money to burn bought into the whole Bose following

Shure put out some good cans

 

I had no idea pocket amps were a thing, assuming its literally a little amp in your pocket

 

yes

check out cmoy amps there are plans so you can build your own if youre into that sort of thing. fits in an altoids tin

 

I loved my Seinnheisers, can never go wrong

Made the switch to closed backs though so I don't see myself going back to open back or Seinnheiser in general

 

i cancelled prime at the start of the year but had a bunch of Amazon credits from chase… so

 

Yup, just a small class d transistor amp and a lithium battery, input and output with a volume knob. They just have much higher wattage potential, cause really higher quality headphones started with the DJ and audio processing scene and all that equipment had strong amplification and the headphones were built to deliver high fidelity at that kind of power.

 

My prime $ only ever gets up to like $10 before I spend it lol

 

Hell yeah!

Just make sure that air is dry!

 

yeaa i dont have a lot of love for open back headphones because the nature of wanting headphones is for the additional noise blocking lol

i dont think i need to spend extra money for sennys to get what i need…most audio sources aren’t high quality enough to justify the extra spend

 

i basically cut out all Amazon ordering so theyve been stackin up. helps that i put way too much money through that card to get the cash back up lol

 

for sure, i need to add another dryer to my air comp… it is dirty. also the regulator leaks if i set it below 110psi

problems for another day lol

 

oo its just chase points you use on Amazon
I have the amazon card for 5% back on everything there, but it shows you how much you have available at checkout so I always just apply it the order

I've never used a single point of my Chase specific points or Amex points, saving them all for an imaginary europe or asia trip I want to take some day
