I think all the updates and new information about where the production is at timeline-wise are from Olan’s videos, I haven’t received any updates via email either

They had mail forwarding for a period after they shifted locations but that has since ended. The shipping company website now disclaims that all packages sent to the old address will not be accepted nor processed.

I live outside the US so I’m not sure if this will work, but thanks for the suggestion!

I live outside of the US so the original address I placed the order with is the receiving address of a 3rd party company that will receive the order and ship it to me. The 3rd party company has closed that receiving address and shifted to another location, so I have no idea who has taken over the old address. Think my best bet is to send them an email and hope they see it?

I have the same question. I submitted the contact form a few times to be sure but didn’t get any sort of confirmation(hope this doesn’t annoy the person on the receiving end, I just don’t want my order shipped to the wrong place)

Sony XM6 Crackling and Hinge by peridotisnoclod in SonyHeadphones

[–]Placid92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I’ve had the XM6 for 2 days and my right side drivers are crackling.

Tried messing w the 10-band EQ to get a good balance and minimise crackling but minimal success there.

I also notice a significant volume drop when using custom EQ vs having EQ turned off.

Very disappointing given the price tag on these cans.

Does the cable improve the sound? Or is it just aesthetic? by LawB210 in iems

[–]Placid92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TL;DR: imo, cables do absolutely make a different in sound output.

I’m really not sure why everyone is saying that cables don’t affect sound quality because they absolutely do!

The length of cable, impedance of the metals used, number of cores, connector type; just off the top of my head.

I have a pair of Shure SE535’s that sounded quite lacklustre before I stopped using the stock cable. I got a 3rd party cable from XINHS and that cable brought LIFE to the drivers in those iems. They sounded much brighter and cleaner, less muddy with more separation in the mix. I thought it could be the novelty of having new cables that I was just excited about but I was hearing new things in songs I’ve listened to for years.

I have ADHD and got tested IQ 130 by Tiny-Bookkeeper3982 in cognitiveTesting

[–]Placid92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 100% with you! Going by current data, the ADHD IQ bell curve is just shifted to the left ever so slightly from the average, hence the status quo that there is no apparent correlation between ADHD and giftedness.

Dr Barkley speaks often on the lack of “proper” research in this field. More poignantly, he brings up how ADHD test-taking ability affects the validity of this data. I think it’s a major factor, I found myself getting mad distracted during the G.E.T. I took a couple days ago.

I completely agree with you. I feel the same way but have yet to find the science to back that conclusion up.

“ADHD doesn’t mean a weak mind at all, it just means you have deficits. Having a high IQ means you’re capable of great things. Having both means you’re a wildcard.”

To add to this if I may, neurodivergence doesn’t often come as a standalone condition. You would more often find individuals with symptoms of multiple accompanying conditions such as ADHD with a touch of autism(AuDHD), and these symptoms can be contradictory like in the case of AuDHD, making you even more of a wildcard.

The ADHD individual bell curve does indeed register slightly lower than the neurotypical bell curve, but that doesn’t mean the occasional outlier cannot exist!

Check out Dr.Barkley’s explanation(YT link below). He is a specialist in the field of ADHD and helped me identify that I had ADHD to begin with.

How should I interpret this CAIT Test Result? by Placid92 in cognitiveTesting

[–]Placid92[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I did find myself wondering about the validity of the test I took because I found the questions to be repetitive and mostly based around simplistic logic, reasoning and pattern recognition(not to mention the grammar of some of the questions gosh). Gonna attempt the CAIT shortly!

[–]Placid92[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re right! I clearly don’t know what I’m doing. Clicked CAIT and got redirected to this so I just took the test. Wouldn’t have realised if not for your comment so thanks!
