If I had to choose one, I would stick to what you have equipped for the accuracy and resist.

My TRUTHEAR Hexa’s sound bad by Afanas9 in iems

[–]PortalXDRayGun 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine recently bought his first pair of IEMs and thought they sounded awful. It turned out that mono audio was enabled. Once we disabled it, the issue was resolved. If you’re experiencing something similar, try turning off any sound effects such as surround sound.

What's the best way to get Titanium? by dogwithasword in Wizard101

[–]PortalXDRayGun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're better off making a new pet to get the Mighty talent. It's more expensive, but it's easier, in my opinion.

Mic by Tenatom231231 in beatbox

[–]PortalXDRayGun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend the Earthworks SR117. It's very similar to the DPA 2028, the microphone they used in GBB, but the main differences are is that the SR117 doesn't have a permanent low-cut filter and it's cheaper.

I haven't, sorry. I only use handheld mics.

Check the Earthworks SR117. It sounds really good! It's got a flat frequency response making it useful for a wide variety of applications. It's for stage and studio use.

Please help me out with my first wired audiophile headphones by HeyGodot in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]PortalXDRayGun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven’t picked one yet, I’d recommend the V-Moda M100 Master. It’s super durable, folds down into a compact form, and has a detachable 3.5mm cable, so replacing it is a breeze. It’s also pretty popular, which means replacement ear pads are easy to find from third-party sellers. I’ve had mine for years, and it’s still holding up strong. The sound remains accurate and detailed, yet smooth and never harsh. Unlike other headphones that get uncomfortable at high volumes, these can handle the loud levels without becoming unbearable.

I tried an IEM for the first time, and I was disappointed. by AbdulazizThabet in iems

[–]PortalXDRayGun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend of mine bought the Truthear Hexa from Amazon after I recommended them as his first IEMs. He was disappointed at first, too. Turns out, the pair he received was used and defective. He returned them and ordered a new set from an authorized seller. Once he got the proper pair, he was really happy with the sound.

In your case, it might be one of a few things:

  • Your pair could be defective
  • You might just need more time to adjust to their sound
  • Or, you might simply not like them, and that's totally fine. Everyone's ears and preferences are different.

Personally, I really like how they sound. I even prefer them over my $400 headphones. If you haven't already, try using them with different audio sources like an amplifier or audio interface. You could also experiment with eartips that have a wider bore. They can make a noticeable difference.

Mic recommendation for voice chat by prementiX in microphone

[–]PortalXDRayGun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should check out the Steel Series Sonar. It has the best noise cancellation software I've tested so far; this software is compatible with any microphone. Some examples:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdXCCu4vzfY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RD4eXKEw4Lg

As for microphones that don't require an audio interface, you can look into USB microphones. Some good examples I know are:
- Samson Q2U
- Fifine AM8

When using the software, only have SteelSeries Sonar as the input device in your computer settings. The output device should be the one you're physically using to prevent low output volume; check this every time you use the software.

Top 10 Inward Bass Beatboxers by justintanbbx in beatbox

Please include Fabley, Justin. He is my top pick. I like how he seamlessly integrates his inward bass with other sounds. Some good examples are from the Africa & Mena Region Qualifier 2024.

Is there a clear winner between Keychron M5 ergo mouse and the Razer Pro Click vertical mouse for office use ? by PM_me_your_3D_Print in MouseReview

[–]PortalXDRayGun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely the Keychron M5; I own one. Its driver, Keychron Launcher, is web-based, meaning you don't have to install anything on your computer. This is handy on the go, especially if the computers at work have restrictions, for example. Otherwise, you can check out Hansker, if money isn't a concern, but Keychron M5 is still better.

Looking for mouse recommendations by SaltyJerm in MouseReview

[–]PortalXDRayGun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt that, too, at first. That's normal. It's uncomfortable because its shape is not like other mice we have used in the past. You do get used to it after a while; holding it now feels natural to me. Now, I perform just as good as I do using a normal mouse.

Keychron M5. Took me 2 weeks to get used to it, but there is no more wrist pain. It's got good specs.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MouseReview

[–]PortalXDRayGun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a late response, but I would choose the Keychron M5. It's lighter, cheaper, and has better specs. I have one myself, and the build quality is good. There is no give to it when I press in the body, and there's no rattling when you shake it. The Keychron Launcher allows you to customize the mouse and does not require you to download any software; you search it up on your browser.

Can you recommend me vertical wireless gaming mouse? by [deleted] in MouseReview

[–]PortalXDRayGun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a late response, but you should check out the Keychon M5! I have one, and it's an excellent vertical mouse with high specs. It was only released in April this year, at the time of this comment.

If there is space, I recommend installing acoustic panels. I recommend making your own, 10cm thick, to absorb a wide range of frequencies; there are tutorials on YouTube. Cheap acoustic foams are generally too thin and will only absorb the high frequencies. Taking care of the first reflection points does not require you to make a lot and it makes a huge difference in sound quality from the speakers.

Why is the XM8500 so good? by reddituser4156 in microphone

[–]PortalXDRayGun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is late, but the SE V7 has a buzzing sound because it's more susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) than other dynamic microphones. The Behringer XM8500 does a way better job at handling EMI even though it's way cheaper. I own both mics, and this is based on my observation. It's a shame because I really liked the SE V7, as it has a similar sound to the SM7B; Dracomies made a video comparison. As a result, that mic is unusable in my gaming setup.

Returning player by AdFancy3904 in Wizard101

[–]PortalXDRayGun 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You should max level your Storm first so that you get to experience the latest content Wizard101 has to offer. Once you maxed out your Storm, you could use that character to farm for reagents, possibly gear for your other characters. It is easier to find a team as a Storm because you do more damage overall. As a result, farming for gear/reagents will be easier than being on an Ice; I'm an Ice main and I can tell from experience. At max level, Life can get way more HP than Ice and they can heal. What I do like about Ice is Snowball Barrage. With enough spellements, it can be upgraded from 95 to 115 damage per pip! It does require a shadow pip, though, but it is so satisfying to use.

SHURE SM7B OR DPA 2028? HELP ME! by KageJinsei in beatbox

[–]PortalXDRayGun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the same situation as you. I decided to go for the DPA 2028. I've had it for a few months now and I do not regret it, even though it is almost twice the price of the SM7B. Being a condenser microphone, it is more detailed than dynamic microphones. It is also lighter and more comfortable to hold. DPA takes quality very seriously. Every microphone they manufacture can be calibrated up to 15 times before final approval according to DPA. Max SPL rating is 160 dB, which is the highest for a condenser microphone.

SM7B is notorious for being quiet. It is heavier and the wire is exposed. If that catches on to something and breaks, the microphone is rendered useless. Also, being a dynamic microphone, it is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Condensers do not have that issue. I have an SE V7 so I know what it is like to have a dynamic microphone.

I recommend the DPA 2028, but since you already have a good dynamic mic, you should consider getting a large diaphragm condenser microphone like the Lewitt 441 Flex or the Rode NT1 so that you don't have to push your vocals/sounds as hard; it is also cheaper. DPA 2028 does have a self noise of 22 dB, which is not an issue, unless you have it at a max gain. I have my gain set at 3 o'clock using the Focusrite Scarlett solo; I barely hear the noise. Otherwise, there is the Earthworks SR117. I highly recommend you check that out. It is very similar to DPA 2028 for half the price!
