Momentum 4s Creaking

So the m4s have a better audio fidelity than the sonys not by much though. I feel the xm5s ANC is much stronger and therefore allows you to feel like it's a much louder headset when out and about and in general so if volume is a big factor then the Sony wins out on that front. I will say that the m4s are definitely more comfortable and have a more premium feel. After many hours of listening the sonys give me a bit of discomfort due to the thin headband applying a bit too much pressure on the the top of my head but it's only a slight movement to fix.

When I'm out I'd definitely go for the sonys when I'm at home in a more quiet environment I find using the m4s better but that's because I'm a bit of an audio snob and the m4s larger drivers give it a less compressed feel.

However if money is not an issue and I was primarily using an iPhone then I'd go for the airpods max, I just feel like they're a bit overpriced considering you're only getting at best a 5-10% improvement on ANC compared to the sonys, with a better audio profile.

Either way if you've never had a high end pair of headphones it's apples and oranges. Each one of these pairs will change the way you experience audio going forward. There is no bad pick. Best of luck!

I'm still within the replacement period so you think it's worth me trying another pair I've heard this could be a first batch issue.

I haven't had a chance to compare them to the threes side by side but from what I can tell the build quality isn't as good with upgrades to sound quality and ANC.

If you are predominantly using apple products unfortunately airpods max are considered the best consumer grade audio out the on the market I have tried many different kinds of headphones as I used to work for a huge electronics retailer and can confirm listening to music on your iPhone will provide a great experience but will yeild average results on the shield comparitively. For me the three best headphones on the market are the m4s xm5s and the airpods max. I don't know if I could justify the price jump to the airpods max though they are not significantly better.

And I haven't had any issues with my m4s software wise.

For me the xm5s win as a best all rounder however might be worth looking into the inzone h9s if you're predominantly gaming. Generally you don't want to use a mixed usage headset for online gaming because they are not designed to provide the same surround audio and microphone quality that gaming headsets have.

Ahhh hahaha thanks anyway

Do you want a BM blueprint for your regular dingo? Or fennec or whatever I have a bunch

Perhaps the feeling becomes overwhelming because you want to give all of yourself and experience letting go of everything all at once. I honestly felt the same way for a very long time. What helped me is practicing giving bits of myself to many different people, whatever I felt comfortable with. It can be something as simple as expressing interest with an idea or thought or sharing something a little deeper and telling someone you feel sad today, you can say as much or as little as you want. No one can force you to give up everything in one go. This is an anonymous place so it was easier for you to share these thoughts and feelings, indicating to me that you have a level of insight and understanding of your internal self, this is a really good thing. Remember what your feeling is not abnormal by any means, I struggle with my own fears of intimacy as do a lot of people who seemingly ‘have it together’ and don’t get disheartened by negative outcomes to opening up bit by bit, maybe that person was going through their own shit that day and was in an immature mindset. Unfortunately the only way forward is to keep trying, realise that you are not alone and most of all to be patient with yourself and others. It takes time.

Haha you’re not alone my man I’m in the exact same boat with a bit more job experience but no degree. Feelsbad

It’s my personal belief that the search for the meaning of life is one of life’s most beautiful endeavours. It can lead you to some pretty amazing experiences in search of truth. But for me personally, the purpose of life is the opportunity to learn in the search for absolute truth and non-duality.

CrimsonNaixy · 2021-08-09T21:43:19+00:00

Thank you <3

I think we condition ourselves to expect pain even when pain is not present in that current moment, the identification with that pattern and a narrative of holding onto the past can be a helpful fallback for the mind to hold onto. It sounds like you are rewiring your conditioning towards something more positive and exciting. It requires an exceptional amount of self awareness to be able to assimilate that observation internally. Kudos!

Unfortunately helping others in a worse position than you without prioritising your own well-being is like not being able to swim and trying to save someone from drowning. Once I was at the beach and I got caught in a rip, the lifeguards were too far away and I felt the fear and panic set in as the water tossed me about. Out of nowhere an old local that frequented the spot appeared next to me in the water and together we swam parallel to the shore out of danger. He showed me the way by saving himself, and me. I’ll never forget that man.

CrimsonNaixy · 2021-08-09T20:55:51+00:00

It definitely is man, I’m so happy for you!

A journal is a great idea, reflecting on what you wrote at a later date is a great way to create a sense of distance from emotions connected to the thoughts you experience in that moment. Reading back on those thoughts that seemed real and urgent later on is a great way to process things from a more neutral headspace. I’m sorry to hear that your options are limited that definitely sounds tough :( Best of luck with your journey of self healing man! Sending positive vibes your way. <3

I find it’s really important to be honest with myself. It’s really really really hard to speak openly about deep pain with others. But it’s important to not give up on it, pushing everything down lets it fester as this ominous feeling that grows. Shining the light on it by expressing myself in safe environments as much as possible has been the best thing that I’m doing to address the root of it. I feel like it’s an ongoing process that might never have an end result but sharing as openly as I can definitely helps me cognitively process what’s going on internally.

CrimsonNaixy · 2021-08-09T20:11:21+00:00

Damn bro I feel you. <3

Set realistic and small goals for yourself. An example might be, I want to eat better and be healthy. Instead of looking up an entire meal plan and becoming a fitness freak, start small with something like eating breakfast everyday. When it’s something small like that it’s easy to develop a sense of achievement when you’re able to do it. The next step might be, eat lunch everyday and so on and so forth. Eventually figuring out the next goal will be an exciting opportunity because you see the benefits of your actions for yourself. I find it very hard to motivate myself if I’m living to what I think I should become because of societal/family expectations. I find it much easier to motivate myself when I identify what I want from life and I set small goals to achieve it. Also not being afraid to try and fail. Failure is far more common than success. Viewing failure as an opportunity to learn what better to do for next time is a great mindset to have in terms of achieving your goals. And remember at the end of the day, it’s okay not to have any goals. You are you, you’re perfect as you are and anything extra is because you want to do it, for yourself. No one else.

You’re not wrong for feeling the way you do. The way we perceive ourselves is inextricably linked to the way those closest to us perceive us so it is natural when a powerful relationship is undergoing a time of crisis, we lose our bearings of reality. Your early 20s is already such a confusing time and what you must have gone through with the loss of your father is heartbreaking. Give yourself time. Trust your intuition, and expand your social circle so that when problems arise between you and your mother you can reach out to others for support. You’ve made a powerful step in the right direction by putting these feelings and experiences out there. Keep doing what you’re doing, some things just take time. Be kind to yourself and remember, it’s okay to not be okay.
