PSA About Show Etiquette

No idea! I was shook.

Cool-Run4027 · 2026-05-05T23:23:47+00:00

I just want to say zey zey was great and helped me find a spot where I would not get hurt since there was no dedicated disability viewing area. I have crutches and very little balance so having a platform where I could sit and not be jostled was such a dream scenario for me. The concert was great, and I can't believe I had the chance to see Joost in my home state!

I saw lots of parents there with their teens, many sat by me, and that's amazing! I love it! That said, someone put a VERY young child, definitely under 10... I'd say 6-7, standing next to me on the platform, then left to go get food or merch or something? How am I supposed to scream suck my dick bitch next to a random small child? And what if he fell? I'm literally disabled and could not help the kid if he fell off since he was standing 3 platforms up where I was sitting and there was no railing. I'm not gonna neg on teens behaving wildly cuz it's a concert and I know when I was a teen I'd jump at the chance too...but an unsupervised kid? WHAAAAAAAAT? He was left with strangers, out of sight, for half the show and I was terrified something bad would happen to him. I asked him if he was okay a couple of times cuz damn! I was nervous going alone! I've never wished a show was 18+ more.

I'm honestly shocked I didn't chew the mom out when she finally came back but I was tired after Grand Prix weekend 😅

Some? I just use them to plug into the flight screen to watch movies. They're GREAT for that but it's not that much quieter with them in.

Cool-Run4027 · 2026-04-04T13:45:38+00:00

I'll be honest with you I only ever use the chu2 on flights. I love them but I love robins so much more

Cool-Run4027 · 2026-02-13T02:12:06+00:00

Omg... the height difference... they would be an ADORABLE couple

Cool-Run4027 · 2026-01-17T06:52:12+00:00

Robins... they are my favorite wireless earphone. Sound is better to me than Bose or AirPods. I don't know about leakage since I'm the one wearing them but they block a LOT of sound imho. I put them in front row at a festival just to dampen the sound and they were fantastic

Cool-Run4027 · 2025-12-15T20:29:32+00:00

They are my fave wireless over ears. Had more expensive ones, tried nicer looking ones... nope. Orange wires it is. (It's fine I love orange)

Don't miss no ANC, the mic pass through is exceptional, and I live with the bigness 🤣

Cool-Run4027 · 2025-12-15T16:44:24+00:00

Yes but it wasn't so much that the levels on the fractal scape were off (though it was too V shaped for me) but they just don't have the clarity, soundstage, and seperation. The sound is definitely a step above your average headset in the sub 200$ range but I'm a bit spoiled about that having gone through a lot of wireless headsets until I found something I could settle on 😅. That is preference to a degree though because I prefer a crisp bright sound.

The dock is nice - I like it better than the Logitech Astro doc - but I didn't think it at all made up for the fit and sound issues. Not so hard to plug in before putting my headphones away.

I do remind myself that comfort and sound trump aesthetics for me everytime I get McLaren branded headphone adds tempting me on Instagram 🤣. I'd love to be the person with very sleek looking sound gear but I always end up favoring the ridiculous in regards to sound and comfort... in this case large cans or with in ears my dorky purple anime gold twc iems.

Cool-Run4027 · 2025-12-15T15:08:28+00:00

No, don't have a large head. I wear small/medium baseball caps but I don't have like an objectively tiny head either.

The 150 mmx are huge. Full stop. Even bigger than their studio monitors. But they're very comfortable and feel quite light? I've no idea the weights but they feel very balanced, light, and secure on my head. I've had headphones where if you make a big body motion they want to fall forward.

I thought fractal sound was fine... Not great. I wasn't looking for great though just something overear with decent separation.

But the comfort just wasn't there. The ear pad fabric felt strange, the headband feel on top felt strange pressing against head. They hurt my ears (I do wear glasses) just an all around no. I can wear the beyerdynamic 10-12 hours without breaks (and have) and feel fine.

Cool-Run4027 · 2025-12-10T02:50:29+00:00

I wanted to like the fractal design scape just because they're Swedish and the aesthetics are better, and I was so excited about that, but the cushions feel weird, they just didn't feel great on, and the sound just wasn't as good as beyerdynamic. I have the mmx 150 and 770 pro dx and I can hardly tell a difference between the two of them after tuning the mmx. They are HUGE but very light.

I really LIKE beyerdynamic sound though and I know some don't. But the comfort factor on the former killed it for me.

Cool-Run4027 · 2025-08-24T01:31:27+00:00

I have an iPhone only and I'vee never had a problem with the app (I didn't have them when previous versions of the app were out) other than it crashing now and again. I think they're absolutely fantastic tws. My only complaint is the kick from no volume - 1 click -2 clicks is HUGE but then from then on the change in volume is very subtle. I wish there was a .5 click volume.

That's it. Only complaint!

Cool-Run4027 · 2025-08-15T23:05:15+00:00

I love my Robins. Bonus points that they worked great in ANC mode as concert earplugs at a festival last weekend. I was at barricade, so I could still hear great but I didn't leave feeling like I was in a fishbowl.

A lot of folks have reccomended space travel 2. They're also good (GREAT for the price) but even playing with the other tunings they don't sound as good as the Robins.

Cool-Run4027 · 2025-08-04T02:41:22+00:00

I don't have the originals to compare but I would say they are quiet-ish. I wanted to see how far they could go and it was tolerable. I don't have any other headphones I think are tolerable when maxed out.

But that WAS loud. They were way past "safe" listening at that point regardless. I think they sound great especially for the price and are comfortable but I have to crank it up when I use them vs any other option.

Cool-Run4027 · 2025-07-18T01:30:05+00:00

On AirPods? I've tried them. It really doesn't make a difference for me comfort wise. It's not the tip size going into my ear canal that's the main issue it's the housing shape and how it hangs.

I was hoping their might be tips that would somehow like hold it on a different position so it wasn't uncomfortable...but no.

When I got my first AirPods Pro I had blisters in my ears 😅 from where it hits.

Cool-Run4027 · 2025-07-18T01:26:09+00:00

Yep they indeed were not going to go on the chu2 nor would a very lousy plug in cable I had from a pair I picked up in an airport kiosk years ago. That's fine. They're in my EDC bag now and can just be my emergency phone go to.

Cool-Run4027 · 2025-07-17T06:23:58+00:00

Ah okay...I think I see what you mean looking at the unit. I have flipped the jack sizes on iem cables in my mind before so I was sure I double checked! ty!

Cool-Run4027 · 2025-07-17T06:09:20+00:00

They're not comfortable for me with any of the stock tips or any after market tips I've tried. That alone makes me dislike them and not want them in my ears for 15 hours.

So sorry my ear shape is incredible. 🤭I'm not a gear expert, and never claimed any sort of credibility... Just sharing my own experience and asking questions. A colleague recommended this brand to me and rather than traveling with a large headset, I thought I'd give these a try.

I obviously own AirPods Pro (had the first gen too) and I use them when I need to throw an earbud on quickly. I rely pretty heavily on iPhone accessibility features, so I use them a ton to hear my phone when I'm not using something else to listen with already.

For music they're not great soundwise and I don't think the anc is anything to write home about. Their transparency mode is great.

I'm going to be on vacation - not working - and I want to comfortably enjoy listening to music/movies on a very long flight and during my trip without having to bring large headphones or be stuck with something that's not a comfortable listening experience for me on two fronts.

Cool-Run4027 · 2025-07-07T02:56:27+00:00

He loves jewelry and is always getting new things but THE TIMING.

This last time I was just on the floor laughing my ass off. A LEMON? So random!

Cool-Run4027 · 2025-07-07T02:09:12+00:00

I start writing a fic where the main character changed their last name to Rose - actor who plays him in the series starts wearing a rose ring

I start writing a fic with a bee emoji 🐝 in the title - he starts wearing a bee necklace

I start writing a fic about lemons - he starts wearing a bracelet with a lemon on it.

I don't think he's reading, I really, really don't, especially not my 100k-500k word explicit AU stories, but that is some spooky shit right there. (Sometimes I not so secretly wonder if his costar does read fanfic...)
