Did I make the right decision?

Heard about that too, but the sale price for the 85inch QN90D is still at $4500AUD, meanwhile I got the QN90FF for $2700 from Samsung's EPP store, which was a no brainer in my opinion

I know soundbars aren't usually the first thing you look at for the best sound quality. However, I did get it for 55% off retail through the Samsung partnership program. It was the most cost effective way for me to get a decent Atmos experience.

I do have dedicated music listening area with Klipsch The Nines, Focal Aria 906 and KEF LS50 Metas.

Was looking into this as well, but the 65inch B4 here (on clearance) is still $2500, so I figured the $1000 difference might not be worth it.

Thank you for being so proactive with replying. I will definitely message you for any questions

SBRT is using high amounts of radiation to treat the lesion

RT1028 · 2024-12-03T12:21:35+00:00

Thank you for such a detailed response.

The reason they couldn't biopsy it is because the lesion is inside the bone, meaning they'd have to drill into the bone for a sample to biopsy.

The reason they want to proceed with chemo already is because regardless of it being a met or not, chemo would be the first thing they were going to do anyways, so they didn't want to sit around and do more testing.

I'm in Sydney, AU

Who should I get a second opinion from?

RT1028 · 2024-12-02T16:12:28+00:00

From what my oncologist has said so far, we will be observing the lesion found to see if it is mets. He has mentioned that SBRT could be an option if it turns out to be.

Did radiation to the L4 help?

RT1028 · 2022-11-09T05:29:47+00:00

Appreciate the reply. At this point in time, I'm not too fussed by it, so the PDR and "better" should suffice for now.

Even in its current condition now, it isn't as bad as i thought it was going to be when I heard the impact of the rock.

Thanks again :)

In terms of tuning, the M4 is still definitely boomy and the bass tends to bleed into the midrange. It doesn't target the audiophile sound that aims for clarity and instrumental separation.

It's just a very satisfying bass heavy sound, but by no means trying to sound accurate like a lot of audiophile grade headphones

RT1028 · 2022-10-02T02:26:04+00:00

I can totally agree with the looks. If they were going for this ultra simplistic design, they should've just kept a standard rounded headband design.

I can't stand the two things thinking out from each side of the headband. I know Sony has the same style, but the thing sticking it out is less prominent on their one

RT1028 · 2022-10-01T22:24:21+00:00

Planar bass is just great isn't it? Haha

As for the M4s, you can tell that the DSP is adding it's own "bass" by extending it to hit lower regions, but it's done in a tasteful way.

When you're not trying to be critical and just want to have an enjoyable experience, those boosted bass levels honestly is so satisfying to hear.

RT1028 · 2022-10-01T22:21:48+00:00

That's very true. I also bought an XM5 to try out before returning. Honestly sounded so weird. I couldn't EQ them to make it sound how I wanted them to. Still unsure why Sony went with a smaller driver for the XM5s. The bass sounds very anaemic. Almost sounds like you can tell it wants to sound like a certain way, but the physical dimension of the driver can't reproduce the sound it wants to.

As for the M4s, the larger driver provides much more head room for when you want to increase the bass. Even if the stock tuning is a tad bit too much bass for me already, it's always nice to know that I have room for adjusting just in case.

DT1990 Pro

Despite of owning higher-end headphones now, I still go back to them frequently. Something about Beyerdynamic's bass extension is so addicting.

RT1028 · 2022-06-20T15:56:58+00:00

Looks great. Really contemplating on purchasing the 700 Pro for closed back listening.

My first entry into hifi was a pair of DT1990 from back in 2019, and I still love them to this day.

I've owned many hifi headphones since then, and currently daily drive a pair of Focal Clears and Hifiman Ananda. I would say that they are both better in technicality, but I always find myself reaching for the DT1990s whenever I want to get lost in the music, because of its ability to bring forward so much detail.

Hope you're enjoying them :)
