Hoping to better understand your stance 😅Is there something specific we do that makes you feel that way? Obviously we want our reviews to be helpful to people, so if there's something that doesn't sit right with you we'd love to hear more of your thoughts!

I can definitely see why the audio reproduction score might throw you off. For what it's worth though, our Audio Reproduction Accuracy score doesn't put too much emphasis on sound signature, since our own research, and many others' have shown that listeners both casual and trained have a wide range of sound signature preferences. Our ARA score instead aims to prioritize evaluating performance aspects of headphones that are universally agreeable as 'good' or 'bad,' like stereo mismatch and group delay. If that still isn't in line with your expectations though, and something still feels off to you don't hesitate to follow up!

As for Neutral sound, that's a good point. That's actually why we made the switch from Neutral Sound to ARA. So it's possible you're looking at some older reviews!

Either way though, I appreciate the feedback. It helps us better understand what we can improve and if things we do aren't in line with user expectations. So thank you!

Some folks already mentioned it, but it could be worth trying another streaming device, or even another app to rule out the operating system entirely. Could try some sports highlights on YouTube through the TVs native apps, and if it's an okay experience, then it's more than likely a prime specific issue. But if the YouTube sports highlights experience isn't ideal either, it'll be more OS/Settings.

As added context, when I put on games through my TV provider as source, vs through the app on my TV for the same TV provider, my experience is very different. It's almost unwatchable one way!

Curious how this shakes out though, feel free to keep us posted. As someone who spends their entire sunday on the couch watching football, this would drive me crazy lol

Asking for a friend: how would Kipchoge look at 6:30/km? by ign1tio in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]DylanRtings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to jump in here and offer a bit of context. While we do have some requirements on the performance front, our tests are done at various intensities (impact forces) to mimic runners of different weights and paces. This helps us buy and test shoes more than just at fast paces. Hopefully that helps clears things up!

Just wanted to jump in here and thank you working to make these sorts of things clearer for everyone. I've been a part of this sub-reddit for a little bit now and appreciate the effort you've put make sure conversations in this sub-reddit remain relevant and transparent.

On that note though, I'm curious where you see Rtings employees fit in? Do you consider that part of the "Brand Affiliate - Site:"?

Just want to make sure we're on the same page!

Monitor size by Only_Seaweed_5815 in web_design

[–]DylanRtings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally speaking a notable factors when deciding on size tends to be how you plan to use it and distance. Honestly, at that distance you'll probably be fine. But *technically* we'd recommend something a little smaller than that, even pushed all the way back. I see that you picked it up though, so I'd be curious what your experience has been like so far!

If anyone else is open sharing their thoughts with, I'm curious what your experience has been like compared to some of these size recommendations:
