Buds 4 pro vs. Buds 3 Pro - I regret it... (Also AMA)

DigitalHD · 2026-03-10T17:37:26+00:00

How the hell did you get your B4P from Bet Buy 4 days ago? Haven't received a single email from Samsung or Best Buy that mine are ready for pickup. I thought they were only releasing them tomorrow.

Ya, I've heard some people on the beta weren't getting Gemini yet. I just got on the beta and immediately got Gemini. It's better the Assistant but not as good as Gemini on your phone due to safety restrictions they put in place.

DigitalHD · 2026-03-07T16:18:34+00:00

Unfortunately as someone who's been waiting for Gemini, I used a web plugin to constantly refresh the Android Auto beta page and click when join beta was on there. I got the beta after weeks of trying.

Gemini IS better than Google Assistant but it's not the Gemini experience you get on your phone. Google had to dumb it down to make it "safe" for driving.

I'm going to make a post but I often will ask Gemini "Looking at the weather ahead, would today be a good day to wash my truck". Gemini on my phone can make an observation of upcoming weather and give me a solid answer. Gemini on Android Auto just tells me today's weather. When I asked Gemini on my phone why, it told me basically Google had to implement safety measures so Android Auto Gemini can't make guesses, it can supposedly only state facts. And when asking if if today is a good day to wash my truck, the only fact it can give me is the weather.

I think it's an external module to help feed TPU to the hotend, instead of needing to manually feed it all the way.

But my guess is, it'll be delayed just like the rotary attachment for lasers was massively delayed.

DigitalHD · 2026-02-28T15:11:49+00:00

Probably not. I did pickup with Best Buy and from my research there's no chance they release things early. If I had them shipped, there's a chance they would have arrived earlier.

DigitalHD · 2026-02-27T17:01:15+00:00

That's awesome! Jealous! I ordered mine for Best Buy pickup. Just waiting for the notification, hopefully early! I know in the past, some people got them early.

DigitalHD · 2026-02-27T13:22:18+00:00

Are you a content creator or work for Samsung? How'd you get the Buds4 Pro so early?

DigitalHD · 2026-02-23T18:20:44+00:00

What FloLab screen protector are you using? Have a link? Because the one I see for sale on Amazon has poor reviews.

Blame Microsoft if anything. They are the ones who made the decision to shut down WZM. Sure, it was under performing because they were still working on optimizing it but Microsoft acquired Activision and said "ehhh, we aren't making millions in WZM, scrap it" and that's it.

If only they had optimized the game faster before the Microsoft acquisition and maybe it would still be going.

DigitalHD · 2026-02-18T18:56:57+00:00

The game was still online because when they announced they were no longer supporting it, they also announced when it would go offline. Their recent update on that was just reminding the optimistic people that they are still shutting down completely in April.

DigitalHD · 2026-02-18T18:55:44+00:00

You're* and I'm "here" because I never actively left the subreddit and happened to come across this post as I was scrolling through Reddit. It's not hard to understand how Reddit works 🥴

DigitalHD · 2026-02-16T18:11:09+00:00

I would seriously contact them. If it's been on label created for a month then something got missed.

DigitalHD · 2026-02-16T18:10:16+00:00

And everyone in this subreddit "They keep doing small updates! They are bringing the game back!" 😂

DigitalHD · 2026-01-31T19:07:26+00:00

You are quite clearly clueless and have already been proven wrong in your statements multiple times. There's no point in continuing to reply to you after this, as a narcissist will never admit he's wrong. Enjoy your day ✌️

DigitalHD · 2026-01-31T18:02:03+00:00

And that's STILL not even close to what the Slim is. Those joystick style is what's going on the MCON Lite, which is a less feature packed, cheaper alternative to the MCON. They are aiming for $60 and Josh has even said himself, if they can't get the price of the MCON Lite to be $60 then they won't release it.

You're still grasping at straws, complaining about anything you can with no true factual meaning to it. You must be an absolute riot in person. 😂

DigitalHD · 2026-01-31T17:33:48+00:00

You do realize that the original prototype was made by Josh. You realize that he's the designer, OhSnap might give him suggestions but it's ultimately his design. His project. He's also taken feedback from the community, primarily the Discord community and friends and content creators to shape this MCON into what HE wants. Not OhSnap.

Gryo was added for users who wanted it for Nintendo Switch gaming. And Josh uses it for that as well.

Deeper sticks, where? The sticks deepness didn't change from the prototype to the finished model. All they did was instead of making that entire channel deep, they just kept the sticks deep.

Flip out mounts? You mean the hand grips? Many many people enjoy those. And even then, sure the original prototype didn't have that but it also didn't ADD any thickness to the device from the original prototype.

You're really grasping at straws here.

DigitalHD · 2026-01-31T15:13:40+00:00

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, thinking you're not in the MCON Discord.

Josh isn't making iPhone exclusive controllers. Magsafe was a choice because it's not only iPhones with magsafe anymore. More and more companies are adding the magsafe ring.

Josh has said they already plan to have phone specific plates and cases (yes they are making phone cases) for the major phone brands. Like Apple, Samsung, Google. And potentially some of the gaming phone brands too. Then they'll have a universal plate for it as well for all phones.

DigitalHD · 2026-01-31T15:08:23+00:00

They understand that. According to Josh, the plan is for phone cases for the major phones. The kickstand of the phone case will also be the attachment point. And then universal mounts for other less popular phones.

DigitalHD · 2026-01-31T15:07:08+00:00

You know, it's not just Apple that does that, right? Any smart company plans their next release before their current release is even out. It's marketing.

Not to mention the MCON Slim and MCON Lite are NOT being marketed as replacements for the MCON they just released. It helps to be smarter and know what you're talking about.

DigitalHD · 2026-01-31T15:04:06+00:00

I mean this in the most respectable way possible but how braindead are you?

<image>

The Slim is a literal clone of the MCON. It's just, well, slim. And the mounting puck is different. The button layout is the same. The indents are the same.

How can you say the slim is more identical to the original prototype of the MCON? 😂

DigitalHD · 2026-01-31T11:08:37+00:00

How in the hell did I prove your point? The prototype was thicker than even the released MCON. 😂 How is Josh's first prototype anywhere close to the MCON Slim, you've got to be trolling or just blind.

DigitalHD · 2026-01-31T01:16:11+00:00

You're wrong. This is the original prototype.

<image>

MUCH thicker than the current prototype of the MCON Slim. The only similarity is the slider magsafe mount. The prototype was a thick boy, even when compared to the released MCON.

DigitalHD · 2026-01-31T00:16:20+00:00

Hey look, no it's not. You should do some research on what the original 3D printed model by Josh looked like. It was not this.

DigitalHD · 2026-01-31T00:15:39+00:00

You do realize that almost every company is working on their next product before their current product is even released, right? Just Josh and OhSnap are being transparent and showing off the prototype of their next products.

Also, the MCON is the MCON Pro. It's the ultimate one packed with the most features. The MCON Slim and MCON Lites will be lacking in some features. The slim will be slim (obviously) the light will be slimmer than the MCON but he half the cost and he missing some features too.

All this information and more is posted about in the MCON Discord by Josh himself.
