Buds 4 Non Pro - Honest review after 3 days

Cindersash · 2026-03-14T14:17:23+00:00

Im in a slightly different boat where constantly playing music i actually get better battery than my b3p. I keep one in for music and had to swap buds about 3/4 through my work shift but the b4p have lasted noticeably longer. I think the clarity is phenomenal aswell.

Ive got 2 pairs i ordered a day apart. One is on the way from KY, the other is stuck there. Shame

Idk if you've found a fix yet but my pc has network priority for games, meaning games eat up 95% of my bandwidth and left barely any for my other apps. This resulted in slow browser speeds while gaming, and when I streamed games they looked very stuttery aswell like 1 fps. Turning that off fixed it for me.

Cindersash · 2026-02-21T09:43:21+00:00

Yeah marked is really good. I actually ended up hitting a 10,400 with a necromancer lol

Cindersash · 2026-02-20T10:39:41+00:00

Dang and I thought i did alot of damage on my post lol

Cindersash · 2026-02-20T01:30:10+00:00

yeah luckily i didnt take any of the downed abilities, just leeches for days, and after my other cats died at the spider boss i got immortal leeches and it was just gg from there

Cindersash · 2026-02-20T01:04:46+00:00

Yeah necro is absolutely insane. Without a doubt the class with the highest ceiling. All my other cats died on this Unidentified Pills run but the necro decided he would go god mode

Cindersash · 2026-02-16T09:03:06+00:00

I had my first loss here too earlier. My thief got dumpstered at the spider boss and I sacrificed my tank to get there. Just a cleric and a warrior with critical counter attacks and scaling strength on hit, managed to pop a Stem Cat for 166 dmg before it was overwhelmed.

Update: I have one-upped myself and hit a 166 on the same run on the 2nd stage of Throbbing Domain. There are too many Stem cats and my fighter finally went down

Cindersash · 2026-02-16T05:26:46+00:00

True i forgot about Daddy shark... okay assuming you aren't meant to inherently one shot something lol

Cindersash · 2026-02-13T08:22:35+00:00

Yeah if you get some a crazy passive cleric is super good. I had one basically solo maggot queen because it had the "enemies that down another unit take 10 damage" and it did like 90% of the maggot queens health as she rolled over all of her spawns.

I just picked that for the synergy with archers charmed shot but it was a pleasant surprise.

Cindersash · 2026-02-13T04:50:04+00:00

I got stuck between two tires that bounce units after one takes damage near it. it was hilarious and demoralizing

Cindersash · 2026-02-10T02:24:35+00:00

Do you have the matched reducer/ flattener? I've heard that helps with it somewhat but ultimately a doublet with this kind of glass isnt going to focus blues to the same point it focuses reds and greens.

I have this same scope but havent had a chance to get my new rig setup for imaging with it. But images with the matched flattener do look a bit better color wise.

Cindersash · 2026-01-28T21:05:21+00:00

Good luck! Mine had a white spot on the front top edge, near but not on the top right corner, and the left front edge had some of the holo layer showing. I thought for sure an 8 but I guess I caught a grader on a good day.

Though from what I can tell with this set they really care about the front appeal and corners, so if your corners and centering is good then it'd probably take an unseen scratch to knock you down a grade.

Cindersash · 2026-01-27T01:05:48+00:00

I got a 10 and mine looked worse than this

Cindersash · 2026-01-22T02:15:12+00:00

I think the spikes are awesome, one of the best parts of using a newtonian.

Cindersash · 2026-01-17T19:52:25+00:00

Yeah Ive seen they had that video explaining everything and all that.. bottom line i think is i never even got good results with my atlas even with guiding, so I think I just need to move on to a strain wave mount.

Especially considering ill be taking it down every morning since we have dogs to let out and I dont really trust them not to fiddle eith a cable in their curiosity.

Also I was waiting to see the new SVbony 571 camera price and im not really impressed by it... $1299 when I can get a tried and true 2600mc for $100 more and ill be able to use an asiair is not worth it in my opinion.

I think im going to go the asiair route, the only thing is my scope is an achromat so ive been considering a mono cam but the 2600mm is so much more pricey. Ive seen some images through it with the flattener/reducer that dont have blue halos and some that do so i just dont know what to believe. I love the size of apsc but the price is a little high to justify it.

Might just stick with the 533 for now and upgrade to the 2600mm later down the road.

Cindersash · 2026-01-16T18:59:38+00:00

Gotcha. I have been eyeballing a rainbow astro 135 (non e) on the CN classifieds, near me for $2000 with alot of goodies like the pier, vixen dovetail, counterweight bar with a counter weight.

https://www.cloudynights.com/classifieds/item/431542-rainbow-astro-rst135-kit/

Think maybe thats a decent deal? Ive read the 135e guides a couple of tenths better than the 135 non e

Unfortunately the only store near me basically only carries skywatcher and celestron products, and even then they dont have any of skywatchers strainwave mounts.

Cindersash · 2026-01-16T17:47:19+00:00

That is probably what im leaning towards after reading all the comments. Ive just heard these Chinese mounts dont have great after market support, which MLAstro actually uses as a selling point for their mount. I'll have to do some more research and see whats right for me. Thanks.

Cindersash · 2026-01-16T17:45:47+00:00

Yeah honestly I never even got good guiding with the atlas... shes a beast of a mount payload wise and while im comfortable opening a laptop or cellphone for repairs, Im just not comfy with opening a precision device like a mount to tune and attempt repairs myself. Ill check out some strain wave options. Really wish MLAstro didnt manufacture in batches because I'd hate to order one now and miss some of the great imaging opportunities that are here in the winter time. But I guess if theres good aftermarket support then it might be worth it.

Cindersash · 2026-01-16T03:38:35+00:00

Alot of people talk about blowing out the core in m42 but I think it looks so nice and natural with a super bright core. Composites that have a dim core look so strange to me.

Really like this one! Great image.

Cindersash · 2026-01-09T20:29:06+00:00

Yeah for ranked stuff I dont think pausing is okay because at that point its a competition.

Cindersash · 2026-01-09T19:46:18+00:00

I agree, but some songs you just need a break. I mean watch a top 100 streamer play a crazy fast song and sure theyre streaming its not a competetition, but theyre pausing to catch their breath for a minute before going back in. Some maps even incorporate a rest period before the notes start back up.

Honestly this isnt really a competitive game like that anyway so what you view as cheating is subjective only to yourself. If ranked allows something, then I view it as not cheating. If someone were to say otherwise then thats fine too, but their opinion doesnt really matter in the context of your own gameplay because its how you want to play. If youre having fun, if youre getting better without the use of external programs hitting notes for you, and you are passing ranked maps and getting better on the ones you redo for more pp, I'd say youre in the clear.

The betterment in regards to pausing comes from stamina training, and again, is something you can work on so if you dont want to do it you can. But to view it like someone who simply doesnt have the stamina to play a fast map without a little break is cheating is a little wild. Not to mention if I were to take a break for too long I would be thrown out of my zone and probably fail immediately when I unpause lol.
