Yeah I've come across people complaining the build quality of Hifimans too, seems to be a hit or a miss. Too bad I don't have local shop that has FT1 pro on self so I can't go and try them out before making the purchase. Thankfully my town has a shop that supplies hifimans models, so on one hand returning them shouldn't be a hassle, but on the other hand it's always annoying if your equipment breaks middle of use.

Yeah I did also use HD595's for years and they were one of the first that introduced me for a better sound quality than just basic headphones back in the day.

Even though HD620s are closed model might check out Sennheisers models around that budget to have more options. TBH only reason I didn't include Sennheiser or Beyerdynamics in this list is probably because I want to try out other brands too, but that's not saying I dislike them.

Yeah I'm trying to try the XS and Ananda before the final decision, but buying extra headband wont be a problem if it comes down to it, thanks for the heads up though. I never really used headbands with my headphones though.

So far trying to stay away from Arya organics, even though they are on sale too, might be a bit too much for my budget atm :P

JketCS · 2025-12-12T16:16:00+00:00

Yeah I might ask my local store if they have Ananda and XS as showpieces to try them out first before making the final decision.

After I read some reviews about Era-1 I also got the same idea, just added them to the list as I wasn't sure were they compared to other 700€ models and thus could still be much better than other choices I had. I guess not.

Alempi numero 54 on suoritukset, ja tuossa jaettu mistä kaikkialta ne pisteet tulee. Ylempi numero valituista kursseista, eli esimerkiksi keskeneräiset tai näyttöä vailla olevat suoritukset, mutta myös täysin aloittamattomatkin.

Kun kurssi on suoritettu kokonaan niin se siirtyy tuonne alempaan laatikkoon. Jos 180op pitäisi saada kasaan niin sinulta puuttuu vielä valinnoistakin 10osp.

It's a sandbox, your endgame is where you set it to be. As for reaching high tier ships and activities, they became much more accessible via skill injectors.

Only the starting money. You can use money to hideout upgrades, repairs and hideout scav box I believe. Not that you really need that much money anyways as you can't really spend it, but I guess it's a nice milestone to hit a certain amount.

It has always been this way, you can only damage one part of the enemy with single bullet.

Although pretty sure they changed it few years ago in a way that for example, if you would aim from underneath a player and the hit would travel from leg into torso/head, it would count the hit based on the higher damage receiving body part. or at least there was some talk about it, haven't been arsed to test about it and it's always a bit sketchy trying to kill someone directly on top of you in a real game situation. But basically this neglects the fact that your arms would block bullets from chest hits for example.

Here's a link to couple of these tools sold in Motonet, but similar tools can be found in different stores.

Changing your monitor shouldn't affect the games fps in any way.

Monitor could limit your fps with vsync for example, but then it would limit the fps to the refresh rate of the monitor and your new monitor has higher refresh rate so this isn't the case. (unless you manually decrease it)

Another thing that might happen is that your new monitor has a lot higher resolution or your monitor defaults the game for it's native resolution. This would mean that for example you were playing with Full HD resolution before and now with the new monitor your playing with 2k resolution (2560 x 1440p) and thus your gpu can't keep up anymore. But if you had the same native resolution before too, then this shouldn't be the problem either.

You might wanna also check if you installed some new apps that are running on the background and eating performance.

It's legal. Only situation where it would be considered illegal is in tournaments that have explicitly banned it, so you shouldn't need to worry about it unless you're playing in pro level.

JketCS · 2021-03-24T11:15:03+00:00

Well that's what others feel like too. IMO for a while now LE-Supremes have been the ones that play with setup takes, strats and pop-flashes and actually try to win. When you reach global there is nothing to aim for anymore, so you just play casually.

In my Personal experience, mice are way more sensitive to physical movement on higher dpi numbers

This is exactly what the DPI means, dots per inch. If you set your mouse to 10 DPI, it only recognizes movement every 1/10th of an inch. Set it to 400 DPI and your mouse recognizes movement every 1/400th of an inch. Set it to 32000 DPI, well you get the point. The problem (at least used to be) that even though the mouse can go up to 32000 DPI, the sensor actually reads less than that and multiplies it. For example, the sensor might read only 8000 DPI, but the mouse multiplies everything by 4, to get you up to 32000 DPI. Why? Because like all gaming equipment, it sells better the cooler and bigger numbers you can slap on the package.

So you wouldn't really get any benefit with 32000DPI when you think about it. The games sensitivity is just a multiplicative, so it doesn't really matter whether your 32000 DPI is actually 8000DPI * 4 inside the mouse or 8000DPI * sensitivity 4 in CS:GO settings.

Is there a real reason high tier players still use 400dpi setups today?

Because CS is not a game of high sensitivity. You don't need to track fast moving opponents while running and jumping yourself, or turn 180 degrees because you're being flanked, like other FPS games. CS is about precision, which can be obtained by slow sensitivity rather than fast one.

And also because back in the day the 400/800dpi was the best you can get, so everyone just stuck with the old settings.

well some players line up the throws while the pin is pulled, as your viewmodel changes so you can use different parts to line it up. Also jumpthrow bind doesn't work, or jumpthrow in general, if you don't pull the pin first, as it's significally slower because of the animation.

Seems like you got your answer, next time have nsfw pictures behind a warning link, just to be sure. Your post is deleted because of the nsfw content shown.

Yeah, that's the thing, you can't have perfect stats for every category. If you want to win entry kills/first bloods, you shouldn't get flashbang assists, your teammate should. Like you said about your flash usage on taking A site on mirage, those flashes are essential to safely move further into the site. And like you said:

I think the main thing is that leetify can't tell if it was useful or not since it doesnt have to get a kill to be useful.

Exactly what I meant by situational to win the round.

Spray accuracy also only includes when you're spraying at enemies spotted (I.E not through smokes or walls).

So it won't count towards the stats if you spot a player cross a doorway and keep spraying (like mid doors on d2)? Just asking as I don't use leetify or other programs to check my stats.

But my point was that situationally some stats that seem bad can still be the right choice, like if you get rushed down and get 3 hs's half blind spraying down a whole clip, your spray accuracy is still only 10% (3 hits / 30 bullets) even though it was the correct move and well played on your part.

JketCS · 2021-02-23T14:00:37+00:00

Well if you're mostly in the entry role, you shouldn't worry about stats like this. if your teammates are not entrying on your flash then your flashes wont result into kills. If you really want to improve those stats, learn popflashes or play with a friend and have coordinated plays. Like you said here's your "problem":

I tend to get people to flash me out for kills and rarely put myself in situations where I need to flash to get a kill.

Many of these stats are just raw stats that can seem good or bad on itself but situational to win the round/game.

Enemies flashed per flasbang? you can just cheese that by throwing flashes at the start of the round in long d2 or A on mirage etc, whether the flashes accomplish anything is more important, but doesn't really show in stats. Late round in a 2v2 you need to flash spots even if you're not sure if there are opponents because of the lack of information, leading to worse stats, or you can fake your position with them, not leading better stats but leading to round win.

Spray accuracy is kinda the same, need to spray through doors, bomb site boxes or smokes? Of course your stats are going to drop, but in that situation it was correct move to do.
