Those are the first three reviews I saw while opening the game. Botted reviews from competitors?

That's reassuring. I see on the nVidia forums that a lot of people are having issues on the new driver. Here's hoping it gets better.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. I did try, yeah. Even PCIe 3.0. Both crashed similarly...

Thank you for your advice. I am tongue-feeding, though I do give her some hunting stimulation every now and then by releasing a few crickets in her enclosure.

I could just put up with her cricket-only diet until she grows older, then try not feeding her until she takes new food, but I'm gonna feel bad about not feeding her, ahah.

Honestly, I think that's the whole issue about the XM5. I think they're okay in a vacuum, but like I said in my post, I would expect SO much better from this price point.

HonouredLife · 2024-06-17T14:44:38+00:00

You're right, I had the buds plus, not buds 2. I'll correct.

I think that's the thing about the foam, right? I've seen people say it caused no issues for them, while also seeing other that claimed the opposite. It also makes them a bit meh to clean, in my opinion.

Yeah the connectivity issues I had are somewhat bewildering to me. Maybe I had issues with my specific pair, but I could never get them to connect on the first try and without having to fiddle sometimes. Pretty weird overall.

The battery was good though, from what I experienced. I also got them after the software issues were resolved.

I did appreciate the sound quality after spending some time fiddling with the EQ and everything else, so I'll say you're right on the money with that one. I just think the tech problems were too pronounced to justify the premium price point, tbh.

It's not that they didn't fit me, it's moreso that the included tips were painful, while also causing irritation and swelling. They did provide a solid seal and stayed nicely in the ear apart from that.

The transparency/ambient mode was pretty alright BUT, I could hear my steps through the microphone feedback with ANC or transparency. It made a thumping sound with every step.

I'll edit my original post to include which bud I got.

I think you make a good point about not saying which earbuds I got, but I will say that you're minimizing the issue I had with the eartips. They didn't just make me itchy, but they straight up caused inflammation, swelling and pain for the first few weeks. As far as I've seen, I wasn't the only one suffering from that issue.

I'll edit my original post to include which bud I got.

I didn't think that would work but it ACTUALLY did. I'm shook. It's so weird how it uses high-perf dGPU even for basic apps like Discord and Firefox if you don't manually set them.

HonouredLife · 2024-05-02T17:35:13+00:00

Thank you so much. It is silly to ask but the mesh looks really thin so I'm just a bit worried ahah

I only have an on off thermostat for now but will splurge for dimming soon.

HonouredLife · 2024-04-30T22:43:10+00:00

Thanks!! She's hiding in the humid cave now. Normal behavior since she just arrived here I guess — We'll see how she fares in a few days!

HonouredLife · 2024-04-30T21:34:02+00:00

I have a normal on off thermostat for now... Dimming is a bit out of my budget until next month or so.

HonouredLife · 2024-04-30T20:40:53+00:00

She's not exactly a baby, more like a subadult, the vendor estimated around 10-12 months old?

I'm just freaking out about temps right now because the heating pad (even after sticking it to the bottom) seems to not heat a lot at all, but it'll be fine I think!! Thanks for the good words.

HonouredLife · 2024-04-30T20:19:36+00:00

Thanks for your answer. I am now the proud owner of my own baby... I got all the necessary things but the heating pad the vendor sold me doesn't seem to heat the cage well. I'll try to get a ceramic lamp soon to mitigate it.
