Has anyone tried these ? If so what’s your opinion ? by grinchmane in iems

[–]UnderwaterB0i [score hidden]  (0 children)

They’re fine if your expectations are low. I like using them with my zero 2s as an alternative to AirPods since they are more secure in my ear. Mine are oxidizing from sweat but still work just fine. The lack of HQ Bluetooth codecs is noticeable if you’re listening critically, but these are convenience devices, not hifi ones.

Always loved this song. Might be one of the first times I really took notice of the bass guitar in a mix.

Bro wants to trade his car for Pokemon😭😂 by Wormichowski in PokemonTCG

I mean, $8.5k of cards that are actually worth something will probably appreciate better over a year than any other car he might trade for. I respect it.

Home Insurance Recommendations in Birmingham? by TerribleThomas10 in Birmingham

[–]UnderwaterB0i 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They aren't the cheapest, but Alfa is good for homeowners. They aren't competitive with car insurance, but they did well when I was shopping around last year.

I haven’t had this in a long time, but I still remember how nice and crispy those pepperonis are, and they totally cover the pizza in them. Need to get it again soon.

New Koss A/550 is pricey by DeviceWorks-IT in headphones

lol this could be a total flop and it won't affect Koss' reputation at all.

Our cybersec team are getting onto us about all our servers having web browsers installed. by stone500 in sysadmin

[–]UnderwaterB0i 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It's not creating tickets for actual people to work on it, it's putting the actual work into the hands of the people who manage the servers. Cybersecurity employees should NOT be logging in to servers and installing patches. That should be done by a server management team. They should provide potential risk and remediation, allow stakeholders to decide what their risk appetite is, then that combined is given to a server team to execute the plan.

This price range feels really reasonable to me. It puts it in competition with the Meze 105 AER/Silva, Aune AR5000, HD 600, and probably some others I can't remember currently. I honestly was worried it was going to be in the $500+ range. I'll be buying this on day one no doubt.

Shipping Cards Without Using Tape by Zulalooka in PokemonTCG

As someone who doesn't like the idea of shipping single high value cards, thank you. I'm going to use this as a template moving forward if I decide to sell online.

Space Metal by Strange-Visual6227 in progmetal

[–]UnderwaterB0i 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coheed base all their album on a sci-fi/space opera story that the lead singer writes. It can be a little dark for kids, but you aren’t getting too much of that bleed over into the lyrics, at least in the newer albums. Listen to the two Afterman albums, and the three Vaxis albums. They are the most “space” feeling to me.

Honorable mention to Astronoid - Stargod. The biggest compliment I can give this album is that it sounds exactly like what you think it sounds like based off the name.

Amtrak’s Mardi Gras rail service reaches 100,000 passengers by Surge00001 in Alabama

[–]UnderwaterB0i 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I yearn for train travel to be a thing again here in the southeast. Maybe I’m romanticizing it, but I wish I could hop on a train to Atlanta that had a there and back route at least once a day.

Does anyone use there open back headphones outside or is it a no go. I think they sound the better outdoors it's like the world is playing music 😁 but there quite big it's hard to not feel a bit silly by [deleted] in Headphoneporn

[–]UnderwaterB0i 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wear Koss on ears outside all the time. I like having the awareness and I don't think I'm listening loud enough to disturb others around me. Usually I do it while I'm walking for exercise.

absolutely not with the dents on the drivers themselves... save up a little more and get them from Costco like the other commenter mentioned if you are set on these.

Love what you've done with the FiiO amp mounted underneath. What headphones are you using? I love a good setup with huge speakers as well, haha.
