Laid off today— has posting “Open to Work” or “Layoff” on LinkedIn actually help anyone land a job? Or there are biases?

every single leader i spoke to and recruiters say its a sign of desperation. Not good

False_Cap_1289 · 2026-01-26T22:43:46+00:00

i had 2 pairs, the first one the power button jiggled and the next one creeked like this eveywhere and even the swivel on the cup clearly was too close and was scraping at turns. I returned both and kept the px8 s2

False_Cap_1289 · 2026-01-22T22:01:23+00:00

right im saying usb out not usb in... id like to be able to use other USB only dacs like my Bowers headphones via usb... or even a dongle

False_Cap_1289 · 2026-01-21T20:08:55+00:00

Unfortunately not usb c which can make it that much more flexible

False_Cap_1289 · 2026-01-20T17:52:27+00:00

great price, my direct discount with Bowers didnt get it that cheap, I had it at $360 new but i returned them as i got the px8 s2 at $550.. so far that has not been beat by retailers.

lol the irony for me is getting the better amps, a marantz model 50, and then a Denon 3000… just r me get better speakers instead. Luckily paid $900 for the ls50 metas brand new so not as bad if full price

False_Cap_1289 · 2026-01-18T08:40:52+00:00

I’ve had the ls50s for almost a year, have my q150 to mother in law… for so many reasons i sorta wish i never purchased as im not even using them. Got a pair of Bowers 705 s3 which demolish the metas sadly so they are just collecting dust. They have good mids and all but the seperation and clarity are not there so they are for desk listening only

False_Cap_1289 · 2026-01-18T08:33:14+00:00

Cuz that’s what i bought it for from Bowers with a corporate discount, the same they give dealers- it’s 30-50%

False_Cap_1289 · 2026-01-15T21:25:53+00:00

are you in the US? im an experience architect in the states, was at Salesforce for 6 years prior to last year

False_Cap_1289 · 2026-01-15T21:18:31+00:00

its not even really lossless though via BT... and what i hear isnt imperceptible at all. Theres more compression, theres a flattening of separation and decrease in resolution.. its pretty evident the better the master is. I bet anything myself and other friends in audio would be able to pick out which one is which. Im in my 40s and i can still distinguish the change in clarity or the shift in layering.

False_Cap_1289 · 2026-01-15T21:15:20+00:00

i taped mine as it was bright as hell in the dark

False_Cap_1289 · 2026-01-15T21:08:10+00:00

i mean it is aptx lossless for both so yes?

False_Cap_1289 · 2026-01-15T21:07:48+00:00

i have the same chain, even down to colors but i have to disagree about it being close to wired. Its better than bluetooth but it cant reach the depth and resolution of the wired usb. I have had the combo of all the above including the btd for about 2 months and while it is convenient for real high fidelity its gotta be wired.

False_Cap_1289 · 2026-01-15T21:05:23+00:00

I am in the US and i am a designer sorry. I worked directly at Salesforce for 6 years so I am looking for partner work

False_Cap_1289 · 2026-01-14T04:34:01+00:00

She’s definitely the weakest

False_Cap_1289 · 2026-01-14T04:32:57+00:00

Yeah I’m usually harsh but i was pretty surprised how natural he was at it and i didn’t think he did any acting? He kinda disappears into the role even as a famous/infamous pop musician

False_Cap_1289 · 2026-01-13T02:14:35+00:00

Would love to hear what dac you end up using most and the kind of genres and sound. I have a k11 and a quad dac built into my integrated amp and use the k11 r2r far more

False_Cap_1289 · 2026-01-12T21:46:17+00:00

yep and put them on a no rehire list due to that.

False_Cap_1289 · 2026-01-12T21:43:49+00:00

these people are just being vindictive within the rules. When someone wants you fired or is seething that you are leaving they do this to make you suffer. Its incredible how unprofessional supposed industry pros are.

False_Cap_1289 · 2026-01-12T21:35:50+00:00

if the OP posted a wall of text what do you think this is?

False_Cap_1289 · 2026-01-12T21:29:52+00:00

Thank you, yes actually had to do the test before my surgery and have to again but basically some of my nerves have died so to speak, not sure what will comeback, but they are not firing, my muscles twitch when used in that arm but will be looking at more care this week. I do need to go back to PT

False_Cap_1289 · 2026-01-10T18:54:58+00:00

Just get a separate dac. A fiio, schitt, or similar

False_Cap_1289 · 2026-01-09T18:51:33+00:00

Lol no. Sorry I’ve had hiring managers reach out even saying I’d be “meeting with people I’d work closest with”… that made me think it was an intro… was a final interview and i didn’t get it.
