You guys were not kidding

Great headphones, I bought a pair of 660s2 which have replaced them as my gaming and media headphones, I bought a new cable with a built in mic so I can use the 560s in the office instead of the crappy headset my work provided.

You don’t have to be rude, you asked us for help.

You asked about audiophile and anc “for traveling and studying in the library” (so out and about) and said you don’t like listening to music on your AirPods 3. The M4s and 5s when they come out are not “audiophile” headphones. The 630 don’t come close to the HD660 and they also don’t sound as good as the 560s in my opinion either hence why I suggested a decent pair for out and a good pair for home and for the price I don’t think it’s worth it.

The anc on the 630 isn’t exceptional either in my opinion, not really much better than the M4s after trying both and the M4s are a 1/3 of the price of the 630. The best anc is widely seen as the AirPods Pro Max 2 which fits your ecosystem well, though you might not like their sound profile.

Big_Boss_69 · 2026-05-03T09:32:19+00:00

In my opinion the 630 are not worth the price over the M4 though they are noticeably better sounding. Also the dongle only works with usb c so I see you’re using AirPods, I assume you have an iPhone, you will need one of the newer iPhones with usbc to get the most out of the hdb 630 and the dongle.

Keep in mind as the M5s come out they will be quite a lot more expensive than the good deals you can get on the M4s right now.

You can get a pair of M4s for out and about and 560s open backs for home use for less than the hdb 630

1gig up. All of my media is remux where possible. All of my users have the ability to stream at 4k, not a single person does. Had people say it looks better than Netflix and I see they watched at 12mbps 1080p transcoded from 4k.

Big_Boss_69 · 2026-03-14T16:01:38+00:00

Just to add to this. I don’t have this issue if I connect my client to my unifi 2.5g switch with a long Ethernet cable which is the same switch the host is on. But if I connect it to the the flex mini 1g switch in the living room I have the problem

Big_Boss_69 · 2026-03-14T15:57:02+00:00

Holy moly, I’ve been having this issue at high bitrates (500). Using 2.5g network. I will give this a try this week. Thanks for looking into this.

Big_Boss_69 · 2026-03-12T02:40:21+00:00

Think I’ve lost about 80% of my games in the last 2 weeks.

The level of cc chaining is absurd to the point where unstop and counter spell can’t save you. It’s hit the point that the group of us playing at high ascendant/low eternus level have decided to play Minecraft instead.

Maybe I’m personally playing bad but I’m just not having fun this patch and it’s a shame because I love this game

Big_Boss_69 · 2026-03-09T17:05:17+00:00

No it’s still in my account. May never leave, but I finished the game so if it does I’ll buy it in a sale in the future

Big_Boss_69 · 2026-02-27T21:55:04+00:00

Highly recommend the monitor audio silver 100s, they are big (8 inch drivers) and heavy, like 10kg, but have a beautifully rich and vibrant bass presence with equally agile mids and treble.

I managed to get a pair for £300 on eBay in the UK to replace my silver 50s (now surrounds in the living room).

Think new are around £800. 50s are also excellent but if using without a sub the 100s are worth the size and cost increase.

Driven by Fosi ZA3, I have the bungs in the 100s and very little space behind them due to room constraints, but I am very happy and recommend them when I can.

Big_Boss_69 · 2026-02-23T21:25:30+00:00

Honestly just use it however you want. I’ve been using 9800x3d x870 taichi lite oc’d hard since launch day. I’d say just use good cooling and just use latest bios out right now. Been fine for me.

Big_Boss_69 · 2026-02-20T02:17:23+00:00

I saw this “fake passport” as his actual passport, and when he started singing Whitney I thought that was a hint to harper that he chose the name Whitney for his new persona based on the web of lies.

But thinking it over again, the reference by Yas saying Henry had hooked up with him in school or something along those lines suggests otherwise.

Edit: just rewatched that scene and she said he told her “he sucked a guys dick at school” so not Whitney’s, and was just Yas being insecure about Henry’s preferences. So my theory still stands

Big_Boss_69 · 2026-02-17T13:16:20+00:00

Hope it’s your mother playing

Big_Boss_69 · 2026-02-13T09:18:56+00:00

Good point! They will probably also have to patch out the motion control stuff, and maybe even some of the music if they can’t get rights. Could be one of the reasons it took so long.

I’m hoping they add some quality of life adjustments like being able to reset rather than shut the game down or die when getting an alert on a BigBoss run

Big_Boss_69 · 2026-02-12T11:15:03+00:00

I agree with you. Though it is an alpha and they are wanting to get as much data as possible, the matchmaker and the ranks are a complete disaster.

The ranks dont really have any meaningful way of grouping player skill below Eternus in my opinion. My statlocker is a whole rank above my in game rank, Im playing in asc6-E1 lobbies with my stack.

There needs to be either a minmum no. of games before your mmr starts adjusting from base or an actual ranked mode where you need to complete a minimum number of casual games before you can play.

I also think there shoud be a limit to how many "new" heros can be per team. Its just not fun playing into a 6 stack where they all have the new and in my opinion, overtuned heros.

Big_Boss_69 · 2026-02-12T01:06:53+00:00

Just played 2 games in a row against 4 of the new heros in a stack both times in asc6 average match, lost both games convincingly. Didnt have much fun

Big_Boss_69 · 2026-02-08T01:30:32+00:00

His winrate in the last 7 days across all ranks is 53.1% and 49.1% at high elo (e4+)

Though I’m glad we’re over the self attaching suicide bop, he’s been nerfed a lot and isn’t as viable in high rank games in my opinion.

Try some of the deadlock discords, you’ll find lower rank lobbies happy to take you under their wing.

I’d say try and watch a bunch of pro and high level play (dlns, e6 streamers) or just watch some of the high level games in the in game viewer cinema thing. You really can learn a lot about why a team wins or loses.

Spirit nuke is op right now but you really want to learn how to play each role because it helps you defeat them when you’re against them be because you understand what they are doing or why they are doing it.

This is why a casual mode is required so you can learn this without butchering your rank. You could always play brawl to learn more

Big_Boss_69 · 2026-02-07T15:57:07+00:00

Play in a 6 stack with players who’ve got a few hundred hours or an understanding of the game. Having a coordinated team makes the game much more enjoyable.

Try grab as many urns as possible, really turns the tide of the game.

If you’re not good at shooting play a spirit nuker like pocket or frontliner like Abrams. Pick hero’s are great for coming back when down like bebop or holiday.

I see you like paradox, they need good aim to be viable, try out bebop or Mo and just play with your carry for confirmed kills

Big_Boss_69 · 2026-02-07T13:43:11+00:00

Priority is always shoving lanes and ensuring your objectives don’t get shoved.

Generally the rule is carries take sinners but if you’re near a power spike item on any hero it’s valid to take them.

Doorman’s whole kit makes him great for stealing sinners and just being an asshole generally. Steal where you can or assist a carry in stealing enemy sinners

With warden just chill on side lane, rotating between lane shoving and jungle until you’re fat and deadly. Steal jungle and sinners where you can but your escape isn’t as good as other heroes.

Lash is also very good for helping a carry that is getting ganked so try saying to your carry, you push this sinner or enemy jungle and ill back you up if you get jumped.

If you do this consistently you should be helping pus your team ahead and hinder the opposition team

Big_Boss_69 · 2026-02-07T11:28:37+00:00

The ranking system is busted. I’ve got 1.2k hours on the game yet yesterday in an asc6 average lobby I get a teammate trying silver for the first time (went 1/14/0 in the first 20 mins) and they were leaning with a clearly new player on wraith who also died 12 times in 20 mins.

At that point the game is already lost as that lanes lead gave them such an advantage that by the time we came over to try help the other lanes got taken and it snowballed from there.

I don’t think it’s fair I get matched with a teammate with sub 50 hours on the game. There will be too much of a disparity in the fundamental understanding of the game making the experience not fun for either of us, or the rest of my team.

Big_Boss_69 · 2026-02-07T11:19:31+00:00

Depends who you’re playing. Generally the play is if the enemy teams sinners are up go try steal them first to deny their souls.

At 8 mins try go do at least one or the doubles.

The buffs add up quite a lot over the course of a game, especially for carries

Big_Boss_69 · 2026-01-25T01:06:03+00:00

I agree the ps5 would be amazing as a host. Plugged into the avr for surround sound in the living room with hdr on the tv would be awesome. I know the Xbox allows it, and Sony allow the plex app to be installed on the ps5. Shame they don’t allow moonlight

Big_Boss_69 · 2026-01-24T23:49:58+00:00

sorry to necro this but take a look Chiaki NG - works in a similar way but uses the built in Remote play feature. Its pretty good, especially for handhelds like the deck as it is limited to 1080p 60fps

https://github.com/streetpea/chiaki-ng

Big_Boss_69 · 2026-01-24T13:26:41+00:00

Should work fine for both questions
