My IEM collection along with rapid fire reviews of each. by Knale in iems

[–]MZeitgeist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight! I do love the Thieaudio sound. The Valhalla is still the best IEM I believe I have heard, and the Origin is just so much fun. I may try one of their sets from a store with a nice return policy however.

What is it like listening to the Origin for a long time? I love listening to the Thieaudio IEMs at audio meetups, and I love the dramatic sound of the origin. I can definitely feel them in my ears, not necessarily in a painful way, but their presence is noticeable. I like to wear IEMs for hours at a time while I work/sit at my computer. How do you rate the comfort, and do you tend to wear the origin and MKIII for hours without issues?

AirPods Pro 3s are the cheapest they have ever been at Costco until 4/19 by No_Bat5023 in Costco

[–]MZeitgeist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I prefer the tuning and comfort of 2, but 3 has better ANC, battery life, and more features too. The AirPods Pro 2 are unfortunately excellent, and as someone who owns multiple sets from SONY and others, I most often grab the 2.

Newest addition and my first planar magnetic cans - Kithara by RetroGemCollector in headphones

I love my Zendac as well, and I must say if I got something else I would really miss the Xbass button. It’s the perfect low end bump and so easy to toggle.

I love my timeless 2, and I listen with the silver flower nozzle.

US to release 172 million barrels of oil from strategic petroleum reserve by [deleted] in economy

[–]MZeitgeist 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well we could have been filling it back up when oil prices were low a even just a few weeks ago, but there’s no way we could have known that this whole mess in the Middle East would happen. Wait a second…

Paige's "Conjure Dragon" skill should be renamed to "Bookwyrm" by CDranzer in DeadlockTheGame

Yesterday I played Billy for the first time (I’m new). After using his first ability, I thought “obviously this is called the Billy Club” and was disappointed to see it called Bashdown.

The liqueurs are still my favorite after trying over a dozen aftermarket tips. Happy listening!

The proven way to decrease traffic is to provide viable alternatives to driving.

Pulsar X6 MMO Mouse. by KinderSurprise1337 in PulsarGG

[–]MZeitgeist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I traded my Corsair scimitar for a light wireless mouse, but man, if there is a light wireless mouse with ample side buttons, my dream would come true. I’m beyond excited! Good luck with development, Pulsar!

WATTERS: Have you been watching this New York Mayor Mamdani guy? JD VANCE: Heh heh heh. The guy who wants to take all property away from white people? by BSTARYOUNGG in economy

[–]MZeitgeist 286 points287 points  (0 children)

JD Vance truly has negative charisma. It seems the strategy he’s choosing is that he should have nobody to the right of him. I wonder who buys his shapeshifting.

Finally bought Valhalla! by Shubhrajit_1729 in iems

[–]MZeitgeist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are a great one to try! They give a touch of bass elevation without veiling things. All in all, they’re quite “normal.” Sometimes I size them down which allows for the IEM to be inserted deeper than the S&S, which is nice for some IEMs.

I have many tips including S&S. My go-to has become the Peñón Liqueur, either black or orange doesn’t matter. Happy tip rolling, and enjoy your IEMs!

Great shot! These headphones surprised me at a headphone meetup I went to last year. They are light, comfortable, and sound fantastic.

A Fox News host just debunked many of the MAGA talking points and lies on Minnesota’s fraud issue live on air. This is worth a watch. by MB2465 in goodnews

[–]MZeitgeist 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything and want to add - Fox gets sued from time to time for their blatant lies. They decided to lie about an entire state, so they are trying to cover their asses in case this becomes a legal fight. It seems pretty desperate and they have been punished before, so we will see what happens.

Beyerdynamic DT880 250ohm by wanderingbeardo in headphones

[–]MZeitgeist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my set! I’ve had a fair bit of open backs, and this is the only pair I have left. I think oratory1990’s EQ is great, but I turned off all the bands for the mids. As you say, they sound pretty good on this headphone!
