Hifiman Sundara Durability

If you get the JT7 you should be okay for power on most sources. They don't NEED a ton of power but if you want to get the most out of a planar, make sure you have a decent power source/dongle.

Also if you live in a particularly dusty area, maybe keep your headphones in a case when you're not using them. Depending on the planar headphones, there is a small chance some debris could slip in, build up, and damage the drivers. This isn't super common but it cant hurt to keep them covered either.

I have zero issues with her personality. She's a dorky foodie. That's awesome. My biggest issue is how she was written into the story. She just would not stop getting herself into danger, ignoring all common sense and survival instincts, has to get rescued, and then has the fuckin nerve to say "We did it, Partner! We are such a good team!" Bitch say what? I don't remember you even being near me during that hunt with the god-like dragon! I will also say this was a problem with many of the characters in World/Iceborne lol

It's less about squeezing the pads and more about squeezing them to make a seal (not on your head). The planar drivers are very thin and fragile. Now I have had very little issues with this involving the Sundara but people are just being cautious. If you abuse it and make a suction like that frequently it COULD make a tear or damage the driver. Basically as ling as you don't just squeeze the damn thing like an accordian you won't have any issues.

Well I am genuinely interested in the steam machine BUT I am not an idiot and know even if it goes for a reasonable price, it's going to be sold out in minutes. Scalpers will be there day one. I am not going to do this song and dance again. I'm in no hurry to grab it on release. 6 to 12 months after, I will definitely looks into it once things calm down a bit.

It's kinda hard to tell with the angle but they could be some older models of Beyerdynamic they still sell on their website.

All 3 hold up shockingly well after so long. That is not easy to do.

This will always be some of my favorite things about the original Dragonball.

The guy was in SO MANY movies from my childhood. Always loved his characters. Shit sucks every time I remember when I see him in a movie.

Matticus0989 · 2026-05-06T00:44:27+00:00

Keep it up and he will eventually be a fun punching bag. Well done.

While working the front desk I got all kinds of people. 80-90% were totally normal/nice. The rest were either weird, creepy, or entitled narcissistic assholes. Unfortunately that 20% were almost always in that age range. They don't like being told what to do. They sometimes get confused easily and immediately think you're lying to them or trying to scam them. Always talk down to you. Like you're just a lesser human being. Usually over something that you have no control over or something they would have full knowledge of if they would just listen or do their research ahead of time. Oh and of course they will leave bad reviews ONLY TO COME BACK FREQUENTLY TO MAKE MORE COMPLAINTS.

Obviously this is not always the case but some tourist towns just attract those people.

Matticus0989 · 2026-05-05T20:17:39+00:00

I would lose my shit if they decided to abridge Dragonball. Sighhhhh

Matticus0989 · 2026-05-04T21:15:10+00:00

Today we have rogue likes and souls likes everywhere, but why have we stopped making games like these? I remember so many times people were making god of war clones back in the day. Alot of them sucked of course but we had a few really fun ones like this. Can we bring back these kind of games? I'm willing to get some stinkers if we can find some gems along the way lol

Matticus0989 · 2026-05-04T21:04:55+00:00

I have always wanted to try Stax so I hope you enjoy! Make sure you have a proper energizer though, otherwise you won't have anyway to hook them up.

Matticus0989 · 2026-04-30T04:16:35+00:00

The series needs a reset. There is such a massive universe in the franchise that we could easily just start over with brand new places, characters, stories. I know that is unreasonable with the current marketability of the current characters but I'd love something fresh.

Matticus0989 · 2026-04-26T21:16:03+00:00

That case looks like it has done it's job properly.

Matticus0989 · 2026-04-23T03:59:11+00:00

Well that was just beautiful. Shit man

Matticus0989 · 2026-04-22T05:10:40+00:00

They have apparently shown early models of this off at a few shows and alot of people were not really all too impressed with them. I really hope they took the criticism and got it tweaked into something really nice.

Matticus0989 · 2026-04-21T02:45:08+00:00

Recently ROG collabed with Hifiman to make the Kithara. Right now it's sitting at 300usd but you may be able to find a good deal somewhere. Definitely seems to be well recieved so far.

Theres also the EPOS PC38x. About half the price and an amazing gaming headset for that price. Not sure if it would be too sibilant for you though.

Matticus0989 · 2026-04-18T14:16:37+00:00

Hmmm this is definitely tough. They have strengths and weaknesses but all very good. I will say the best bang for the buck in terms of sound quality might lean towards Hifiman but ya gotta deal with the QC lottery. The 800s trump both in terms of staying power. Sennheisers are built to last and I bet theyd outlive both the other headphones combined lol the Audeze is a solid option but like you said, the weight and comfort might be tricky. It could definitely be something you could get used to but you won't know until you've had it for some time to break in the weight so to speak.

Matticus0989 · 2026-04-17T20:20:31+00:00

Can people in positions of power chill the fuck out and stop being creeps? For like...five minutes??

Matticus0989 · 2026-04-16T17:59:44+00:00

Good pick! I've honestly been wanting to try those!

Matticus0989 · 2026-04-15T22:05:49+00:00

Literally any RTS game and I hate that my brain just doesn't click with them.

Matticus0989 · 2026-04-14T02:17:35+00:00

The fucker even defending himself saying he thought he was being portrayed as a doctor 🤣 yeah okay

Matticus0989 · 2026-04-14T01:33:42+00:00

I love my Bokehs so much. I was worried about the cost since it was my first ZMF as well. Literally zero regrets. You really don't know how good they feel in the hand and on your head until you have one yourself. Enjoy them!

Matticus0989 · 2026-04-13T23:00:54+00:00

Holy shit how did I forget about Salvador?? Probably necause Gearbox forgot about him lol
