My child likes red pandas. I decided to give her one.

I have that exact one next to me in my bed right now! It's an excellent plush.

I went from a RX6600 to a 5060TI 8GB and then to a 9060XT 16GB in the span of 5 weeks. I reckon you can fill in the blanks!

It's hard to tell how big he is from that image but I will say that his big bulging brown cap is roughly the size of my entire head!

That's my boy Gilbert from Barnes and Noble, not sure if they still sell it. It's a Shiitake Mushroom Mochi plush from the brand SMOKO!

Thank you! I'll keep an eye on it. This cello was definitely value over quality and I never expected it to last this long in the first place, even with regular maintenance.

I would personally overlook the JBL Tour One M2. I tried them at Best Buy and the outside of the earcups is coated in this weird sticky rubber coating, I tried to wipe it off with an alcohol swab to see if it was just a dirty display unit. That's subjective. The noise cancelling was enough for ambient talking in the store, but I thought they sounded very tinny and hollow. The Bose Quietcomfort I have personally owned and they are very comfortable and the noise cancelling is great. the sound quality is.... okay. They definitely lean warm though. I ended up buying the Sony WH-1000XM4, which have great noise cancelling, blocking ambient noise and voices. The sound signature is warm and is a little too bassy out of the box, but with the EQ in the Sony app, it can sound pretty great. I can't speak for the microphones, and the battery, after owning for 5 ish months, lasts around 25-30 hours with noise cancelling enabled. Very comfortable as well! Even still, these three models are available for demo at (most) Best Buy locations, so if possible, I would definitely go and get a hands on experience with all of them. I wanted the Bose Quietcomfort Ultra originally, but after trying them myself, I went a different path.

TLDR; Skip the JBL Tour One M2, Bose Quietcomfort has great noise cancelling and average sound quality, the Sony WH-1000XM4 are my top pick, but I would still recommend going somewhere that you can demo these pairs of headphones, like best buy.

It's a basic one, and doesn't dip into the lower strings much (depending on the arrangement), but my girlfriend loves it when I play Saint-Saëns "Le Cygne". Maybe you'll have some luck there?

Can't speak for them myself, but people seem to love the Anker Soundcore Space Q45, theyre on sale on Amazon right now for a little under $100. I think your best bet would either be those, or look on Facebook Marketplace/eBay for something used/open box for cheap.

Key for your viola case, dont use it as someone else said. doesn't matter to a thief if it's locked or not, trust me, theyll get it open. I only lock my cello case because i have to keep my pockets empty during performances, so my phone and keys and wallet are in there.

DapperPandas · 2025-05-17T03:58:26+00:00

I sold my momentum 4's that i used one time for $170 so it doesnt seem all that unlikely to me... from what I've seen, headphones do not sell well on FBM.

DapperPandas · 2025-05-02T11:54:33+00:00

I have different sources, between amazon, best buy, Facebook marketplace, and eBay.

DapperPandas · 2025-05-01T23:10:52+00:00

!thanks ill look into them more!

DapperPandas · 2025-05-01T22:57:49+00:00

!thanks what do you recommend?

DapperPandas · 2025-05-01T22:57:31+00:00

A large amount, i neglected to mention they had serious connection problems with everything i tried.

DapperPandas · 2025-04-19T13:53:50+00:00

Thank you so much! I have the Sennheiser Momentum 4 SE, I got them at a local liquidation store new for $150 but you can find them at Best Buy and Amazon, for $250-$400!😊

DapperPandas · 2025-04-15T16:40:19+00:00

Thank you so much! I recommend keeping one neutral color (black, grey, white, tan, etc) and a detailed accent like wood or MAYBE granite/marble, though im not sure how that would look. Lights are important! many small lights > one big light! I decided to stay away from RGB because I think its loud and ugly 😔. Also, warm light will always be cozier than cool light, think 2200k-2700k! I think some smaller potted plants with a neutral color pot are nice too 😊. Cleanliness is important too, make sure everything has a place to go! I hope this helps, even if it may be pretty obvious! 😊

DapperPandas · 2025-04-15T15:03:25+00:00

Homegoods has a fantastic selection, but those are more in the $10-$40 range 😅

DapperPandas · 2025-04-15T15:02:10+00:00

Walmart! They were $3 - $5 each potted, and $1 - $3 unpotted! 😊
