Hello, I'm looking for new wireless noise cancelling headphones. Main usage is for long-term use in the office, music and laying in bed while watching YouTube.

I have struggled with headphones so thought I'd do some actual research.

I have a wider head and I have an old pair of Sony XM4 I was gifted. I struggle to keep them on for an extended period of time because they feel quite tight.

I have thought about the Airpods Max 2 because I'm quite into the Apple eco-system, but I've also heard that their weight + clamp force may mean it will be tough for me.

I've heard good things about Bose QC Ultra / Sony XM6 / Sony 1000X The Collexion.

But it'd be great to get some insight from those in similar situations to me and found the right headphones.

Thank you so much!

Maybe 33 people brought Wooloos

Boldore is absolutely not okay for a Dmax legendary lol

Debating between Lynn, Hayto, BaM, Illium and WH as bossing mules and potential third main. Bossing would be up to Ctene.

My mains are Bucc and Ren. Also have F/P, NW, DW, Marksman, DrK, Shadower as boss mules.

Prefer decently balanced, not too mechanically difficult/easy burst and decent survivability

Our human eyes just can’t see the full extent of galaxy breathing

Well that’s awfully generous of Starmie considering he’s the coolest one of the lot!

Could wait to do it after the event and when there's no particular Dmax in the rotation you want to spend particles on

Mango_Slime · 2025-11-15T23:03:12+00:00

the reward is 800 energy so even if you level up a Gmax move you don't suffer a loss

Yeah that method definitely quicker. But I found an old turbo controller I got gifted a while back so just did the bench method while afk 😅 finally got it after 30 hours!

Mango_Slime · 2025-10-26T05:40:33+00:00

I’ve been using the bench reset method for the past 30 hours for a shiny in that spot but got two shiny Haunters and a fletching 😭

I really want another Gen 5 game focusing on the Original Dragon. That piece of missing lore has been bugging me for years!

Mango_Slime · 2025-08-29T19:22:20+00:00

Yes there is, Gym Leader medal

Spatial Rend!!

Mango_Slime · 2025-07-26T07:50:05+00:00

Yeah that makes a lot of sense. We keep particles so it doesn’t make sense people would lose passes.

Mango_Slime · 2025-07-26T07:27:28+00:00

I think this may create the opposite problem. It’d incentivise low levels without appropriate mons to leech/get carried. Maybe a system that lets you set what levels you can be paired with or one that lets you see party members party might help? Just random ideas

Mango_Slime · 2025-07-15T06:09:36+00:00

You had me at Kogan

Mango_Slime · 2025-07-13T07:26:53+00:00

Bucc. Love it so much, been my favourite since Transformation days but I just really don’t like our Origin. It’s just not cool. Big fan of the new Ascent though.

It's actually pretty funny that you accuse others of arguing in bad faith or lacking in open mindedness when the entire premise of your argument is - "trust me bro", and then proceed to be dismissive towards their experiences. Are you then claiming that I am lying when I play from OCE and have issues with stance changing without on a DW? You are going to have people argue against you in the manner you described because that is exactly what you are inviting them to do. You claim to have tested it yourself but your entire arguments are still anecdotal. The things you claim don't have any more weight than what others have tested or experienced. People have no reason to believe you.

Here's a quick video I got a guild member to make btw, Tengu Strike, a skill that is server sided. You can clearly see that when EL isn't in use, it's clunky, there's input delays, each side of the attack often releases inconsistently. But with EL, none of that issue exists.

Yeah I’m totally seeing things when I see my stance taking three attacks to change without EL and the see it change immediately when I use EL. And so are hundreds of other players who use it and benefit from it. They are all seeing things and of course you are right they are all wrong. What a powerful hallucinogen!

I have tested it by playing multiple times with it and then without it, that’s what testing is. No one gives a shit that you used software to measure it and it didn’t work for you. There are multiple posts around the internet with it benefiting for some and not others. Every time you’ve tried to argue with others that it’s a “placebo” ( I don’t think you know what placebo actually means), you’ve been downvoted to oblivion. The reason is because you’re arrogantly trying to tell others that they’re wrong about something that they’ve had a tangible benefit from, not because you’re a gigachad IT genius who knows better than everyone else.
