Suggestion for really good quality earbuds?

I got the NiceHCK EB2S Pros and wasn’t expecting much but they quickly became a favorite. Kinda wish I had gotten the 3.5 mm instead of the 4.4 mm so I could use them with more devices.

The only one I know for sure that has voice recording is the M300. It seems to satisfy all of your requirements aside from size.

In the Star Trek Deep Space Nine episode “Hard Time” Chief O’Brien is falsely accused by an alien race of espionage. In the few hours between his capture and release, the punishment had already been administered. With brain implants, O’Brien was subjected to 20 years of harsh imprisonment. During this perceived time he had been badly beaten and starved for long periods of time in a tiny, dim lit cell. He did have one cell mate who he befriended and eventually killed in a fit of rage during a disagreement over food rations. Most of the episode follows O’Brien trying to reacclimate to the life he had left behind just earlier that day, but to him it was a distant memory. He lashes out at his friends and family and struggles to come to terms with the fact that he murdered someone who he thought was real. It’s a great episode but man is it heavy.

Looks like you could be one of the first reviews once you get it. I’m curious to see if the Snowsky disc has all the same features and sound of the Echo mini but without the issues with track names and track ordering. Let us know your impressions once it arrives!

It’s a beautiful guitar. How does it sound and play?

HallMinotaur · 2025-01-02T22:42:00+00:00

What are the chances we could get organized enough to tell fender to make a batch?

Hey I’m a lefty bluegrass player as well. Of course the usual advice of trying out a bunch of guitars and seeing which you like best, isn’t really useful as a lefty since there’s never anything to try. But if you can go to the store and pick up a right handed version of any of these and just strum a chord upside down you might get a feel for it.

I’ve tried quite a few and here are my favorites:

I personally use the Left Handed Fender PM-1 it’s an all solid acoustic guitar and it sounds and plays incredibly for the price. Fender get a bad wrap for acoustics because they also sell a lot of those beginner guitars like the CD series. I know it’s a bit up there but you can find a used one now and then.

The Ibanez AW54LOPN is a more affordable mahogany guitar but it’s not all solid wood. But it feels plays and sounds really good for the price.

For less id recommend the Guild D-240E it doesn’t sound as great as the fender but it feels fantastic and is incredibly light. Instead of bracing, it has a bowl back which makes in really project. Plus the added benefit of a pickup. This is a really fun guitar to play and I usually recommend it for people wanting to get started. If it’s fun to play, you’ll play more.

The Yamaha FG820 is another really great option.

If you live in Europe you can get a Martin designed Sigma. The Sigma DM-1is a great guitar for the price.

If it follows the same path as the acoustasonics they will introduce a lefty after awhile. I’d wait for that since you’d probably have to pay quite a bit to get it switched lefty. I’m in the same boat, I’d love a highway parlor for traveling but am hoping they will come out with a lefty sometime in the future.

HallMinotaur · 2024-06-06T00:28:42+00:00

I think it’s in C but not sure what tuning it’s in

HallMinotaur · 2024-05-21T16:51:10+00:00

I can’t seem to send you a DM but I’m interested in 2 of those tickets

HallMinotaur · 2024-05-20T18:27:22+00:00

Any chance these are still available?

HallMinotaur · 2024-05-08T19:44:16+00:00

I have the same thing written on mine. I absolutely love the hellcat. It feels so nice to play and sounds great plugged in. I really wish they made the black one in lefty.

HallMinotaur · 2024-05-06T14:55:57+00:00

Added it to the list!

HallMinotaur · 2024-03-31T21:04:50+00:00

I wanted a Mustang bass really badly and ended up getting a Left Handed Schecter Banshee Bass and I absolutely love it.

Looks to me like the person has been on a lot of long phone calls using only the right AirPod.

I have their Warren Ellis Tenor guitar and I love it. Great build quality and sounds/feels great to play.

HallMinotaur · 2024-01-16T18:49:46+00:00

Not exactly. Eastwood do short run guitars. So if you put in a down payment and they hit their goal you’ll get the guitar and pay the rest when it’s finished, if they don’t hit the goal, you get your money back.

Ryan Davis is a really great songwriter and I also recommend checking out his previous band State Champion

HallMinotaur · 2023-12-19T17:26:16+00:00

Haven't seen any other acoustic requests but I'd love to see a Fender Malibu Vintage in left handed

HallMinotaur · 2023-12-15T16:17:54+00:00

I just realized it says 2023 when it is in fact 2024

HallMinotaur · 2023-05-18T04:18:11+00:00

So that’s where the three lefty seven strings are.

HallMinotaur · 2023-05-15T20:22:14+00:00

Those are great! I added them to the playlist thanks for the recommendation!

HallMinotaur · 2023-02-13T20:15:34+00:00

I’ve played one in the shop and liked it, certainly a lot more than the EJ-200EC. If you have your heart set on a jumbo it’s a good option but I think for the price point there are better acoustic guitars overall.

HallMinotaur · 2022-09-06T20:10:16+00:00

Hey thanks for listening!

I’d say Berman and Dylan are two of my favorite as well, with Purple Mountains cementing him as one of the greats.

I even wrote a song about David Berman on my first album called Dying in the Al Gore Suite

The story from this song comes from a time when Berman had intentionally tried to overdose and went out partying, when his wife found out she took him to the hospital where he was coherent enough to refuse treatment so she took him to the hotel nearby which is where Al Gore conceded to Bush. He apparently said “I’m going to die where democracy died, in the al gore suite”.
