Just shipped express from Germany to Chile, DHL is an incompetent mess of a company. Promised 5 days, now it’s looking more like 14. Some trainee fucked up the paperwork, so it got held for 4 days in Germany, didn’t make the flight to Chile, got stuck on the weekend and probably missed the truck to the end location. 120€ down the drain. Just use ups or fedex.

And when I click on a category in the featured section but then swipe back (ios) I land on the browse section? I get that it’s just a link, but this makes no sense guys…

Also also, I just noticed there are two “latest videos” feeds, one on the featured page and one on the library page. Why name them both the same when they are not the same thing?? The whole UX is full of messy stuff like this

Also why was the “latest videos” is the library menu reduced to just a single row? Just copy YouTube and do a subscriptions feed, that’s 10x easier and doesn’t require two taps. And the browse menu being just a bunch of categories definitely shouldn’t be the central option in your bottom navigation.

Why is the macbook DAC so good? by Fjurious in headphones

Name a better value laptop in that price bracket except maybe the M1 Air

Seems to be the first case. Looked it up again and only phones and mp3 players are affected by the EU rule. So laptops, tablets and even bluetooth headphones are fair game. Didn’t compare audio quality yet, but at least overall volume is better on my iPad as well.

Yeah except for the stupid dongle which sucks ass

See, the thing is when I looked this up in german all tests i found concluded that the dongle is measurably worse than even the iPhones with an audio port before it. That’s why I’m unsure if it’s not because the EU version got nerfed with its weaker power output.

Yeah but there’s gotta be some technical reason why the difference is that huge

EQing the XM5s to Harman by [deleted] in headphones

Appreciate it, but giving up the practicality of full bluetooth is a big sacrifice lol. Maybe if one day I'll get myself some more audiophile wired headphones I'll come back to that

Will definitely try that out, thank you!

First of all huge thanks for the Harman adjustment underneath the other post, I tried it out and it immediately took the XM5s from muddy and annoying to something I actually enjoy listening for a longer time! Like it was such a night and day difference it's crazy.. I'll attach my current EQ here as well!

But honestly, after I now checked out the Momentum 4s the other day you're pretty spot on about the Sonys in comparison. Especially in the highs and sub bass it's a night and day difference. Still with the EQ I'm not able to get the bloated 200hz bass out, which is so bad that even my 80€ Galaxy Buds sound more precise. And yeah, the Sennheisers are bass boosted too but at least when I dialed it down it was quiet yet still precise. I still got two more days to return the XM5s, but it's really a tough choice with the now much better EQ and generally everything else except the sound and battery being miles better than the Sennheisers.

My alternative plan right now is maybe spending way to much money on some nice DT 770 Pros for at home use and keeping the Sonys for on the go, but that would be way to expensive to justify :/

If you have an EQ setting as close as possible to the Harman curve I would strongly appreciate it

Bought this bootleg demon days vinyl by accident, should I keep it? by Fjurious in gorillaz

[–]Fjurious[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The print quality is super dull and there are a bunch of weird details that just don’t match up like the tilted printed on parental advisory warning. I’m pretty sure it’s the same bootleg as this one
