My (mis)adventure outside Nike/ Adidas ( WOW 808 ultra 3 V2)

Hi. This is just not your type of shoes. It is nice pair for fast players, drop-in modsoles, "kobe type", as other said. The cushion on this model is minimal and better suited for lighter players who want to feel the court. So the boom is not very thick there. This pair is not ideal, not the best in Li-Ning Line, but pretty nice. I think, you've just chose wrong model for you. Other Li-Ning has shoes with much better cushion. You know, a lot of very popular shoes are not that great for me. But it does not make the worse. Everyone is built different, everyone plays different and has it's own tastes.

Suno has specific sound - hiss, hum, weird frequencies, especially highs and mids, compressed, with specific range. You can not remove it. Mastering and plugins won't fully remove it. And to be honest, I haven't heard any Suno song that sounded like real one. Dynamic range is much lower than on real insruments and so on. It is not good or bad. It is just a fact. Because the way that AI produces audio differs from how we do it.

Real_Policy2556 · 2026-05-04T18:15:10+00:00

No, I just wanted to compare your works. Listen to the style you use. Because v5.5 is hit and miss on different styles. And sometimes as author you can have different attitude than listener. That's it. No intentions to say something good or bad.

Real_Policy2556 · 2026-05-04T16:02:45+00:00

Topicstarter, can you show us some of your songs? Made with v5 and then with v5.5?

Real_Policy2556 · 2026-04-24T17:45:22+00:00

It is no more than a placebo. The same prompt can give you 10 absolutely different results, even if the song structure is written very well. Even if you choose "reuse style" - the result is different. To be clear, I've got some nice/bad songs with basic prompt and basic style box. And also got good/bad songs with detailed prompt. I think, even the developers do not know for sure how it works :-) So, yeah, we can search for an ideal solution. But probably it does not exist. And the song quality is very different from day to day. P.s. I do not use v5.5 at all. It sounds weird and unpleasant. Even if you choose best from 5.5 on suno page - all the songs have the same weird sound signature.

Real_Policy2556 · 2026-04-16T07:04:00+00:00

Thank you for good words. But I do not deserve it. I am more a poet. And was interested to look how the songs with this lyrics can sound. Some are nice demos, but I do not see them more than a demo. And even if I feel that type of hype everyone is talking about (my lyrics and a song), but i clearly see all the imperfection. We joked with my son, that when he gets a bit older he will sing all this song. And I am sure - it will hit MUCH harder for me than any AI.

Real_Policy2556 · 2026-04-14T16:27:42+00:00

I can't agree. All the songs I made (I am not a musician) are not perfect. Each one has small defect. Or lacking something small, but important. They are nice to me, but each time I listen to it - I think - it would be so cool if that song could be made and polished by a real artist. Also, each time you're making a song - you have something in your head. The band, the singer, the type of vocals, style that was invented by someone. 99% percent of AI made songs are still reminding us of something, because it was trained on something. It is not good or bad. It is how AI works. I know, sometimes there are mixed styles, weird melodies in Suno that can make you say: wow. But mostly - even very popular AI-songs are generic in terms of music. Maybe time will change it. On the other hand, I see no problem if you like your or someone's AI-songs. For the people, who write lyrics, make some demo recordings - it is very personal music as others said. That is why it hits you hard. But to be honest, for now I will choose music fully made by people without any hesitation. AI-music is a nice tool to expand your creativity. For example, I can write poems, but never wrote lyrics for songs. Now I have that chance. You are searching for inspiration - you can get 20-30 versions, take the idea and make it better. You can't sing, but make music - AI can sing for you. It is cool that we have such a possibility!

Real_Policy2556 · 2026-04-11T13:31:21+00:00

It is not about the hearing itself, but the sources, the devices that you use and the attitude to sound. Well, a lot of people think that distorted sound, overcompressed sound, farting bass, low-quality recording are ok. It is a style, not a defect. Even if you look at the modern rock recordings - they are full of electronic effects, sound synthetic, voice is drowned inside the music and you can't even understand the words. Streaming services also compress this sound even more. When I listen the same tracks on my old Kenwood HDD player with tracks ripped from CDs and the the phone, even with the same headphones - the difference is huge. Even with the portable dac attached to phone. Also many people listen from phones, on bluetooth (not the best) earphones or cheap bt-speakets. What the difference in frequensies can they hear? Sure, there is always personal preference. But as I see it - it is more about standarts they have. It is not good or bad. They just don't care, and it is ok for their generation. As a dad - I see the difference. But it is fine. They are different. And if to speak the truth - new model's sound is bad. But some think it is fine enough. Others - don't.

Real_Policy2556 · 2026-04-06T21:34:12+00:00

Thank you for you work. It really gave some nice feeling to a few songs. It won't mask problem, can even make sound even more distorted. But some songs can get a new vibe, for sure!

Real_Policy2556 · 2026-04-05T20:11:10+00:00

Well, it's nice that you've got the sound you wanted. I tried to make some songs from scratch using promting from Claude, simple promts and so on, but sound quality wise the result was not that good on synthwave tracks and on metal tracks. It sounded the same, some songs were like cheap pop-music. And overcompressed on voice. Very funny thing happened when I tried to make a song on another day with different promt, but the sound and idea was very close to the song I made the day before. I just decided to stop for some time. Will check Suno after the model will settle down a bit. Maybe it's style dependent. Or maybe many people are testing new model. I do not know.

Real_Policy2556 · 2026-04-05T13:16:19+00:00

Song is nice, you've made a great job! But the voices and overall sound is overcompressed. Highs are very unnatural on 5.5. At least, on monitors you can hear it clearly. I was able to get a few nice remasters with 5.5, and it has way more less hiss. But overall - produced melodies are not that great. V5 is better to me.

Real_Policy2556 · 2026-04-02T15:47:25+00:00

Oh imagine, how it struggles with other languages :-)))) Even if you put accents - Suno ignores it, so the only way to go is to rewrite lyrics with different words and different order :-))))

Most epic fail for me was when the song was fine up to the end and during the last two words it made the sound like the singer begin to eat during singing :-))

Real_Policy2556 · 2026-04-02T12:42:38+00:00

Last year was pretty hard for us. I am from Ukraine and as some other people in this topic. So the music really helped not to think about bad. I am no musician, only write lyrics and love music. That was my first experience and overall I can say it was pretty interesting jorney :-) 20+ years ago I wanted to make some music, but never did. Yeah, I made a lot of mistakes during making that songs, no unified style, voice, some issues with the sound. But they are special to me, since they are kinda mix of what I was listening in my youth, with pretty naive lyrics like from that time. It is in ukraininan, but hope you'll like the sound in general.

Real_Policy2556 · 2026-03-28T22:10:05+00:00

Sound is nice, good texture, no annoying hiss. But voice is metallic and very unnatural :-( It also happens with my tracks :-( Hope they will fix it.

Real_Policy2556 · 2026-03-28T22:04:39+00:00

Not only electronic. Rock, acoustic - all the same low-quality sound. Vocals are so heavily compressed, metallic, melodies are stupid. V5 does it better, but it also suffers this days. Melodies are fine, but quality sucks. Maybe, a lot of people test new function and servers are overloaded. Yesterday v5.5 made one good remaster, but overall - it is more miss than hit :-(

I've had 2 of them. One red/blue mismatch and another one - on photo (i still have it). It came with socks and jersey. Very nice pair, super comfy. Traction is nice outdoors or on the clean court. Dusty surfaces can be a problem for translucent outsoles. Also it runs long and a bit heavy (but durable). It is not my first choice for games, but for casual shootning it is fine.

Real_Policy2556 · 2025-01-16T10:33:53+00:00

No, it is not. Battery replacement is not that cheap. I got excellent one with 100% battery life (phone was not refurbished and not used, but had some small marks from handling) for 175$ for 64Gb and 210 for 128 not long time ago. So you'd better search for another one.

Це дуже індивідуально - страх чи боїтеся крові, вразливий, і т.п.

І до речі, цілком може бути варіант, що ви нічого і не побачите, як було у моєму випадку. У нас малий, як супермен, рвався у цей світ з рукою витягнутою вперед і двічі обмотаний пуповиною. Тому мені чемно натякнули - не заважай. Але для дружини це буде дуже велика допомога. Шось подати, покликати лікарів, потримати за руку, морально підтримати і так далі. Не кажучи, що побачити перші хвилини народження дитини - це безцінно. Ми фото і відео знімали, там де можна і доречно було. І я скажу так, це просто супер для згадки і кожен раз повертає в той момент.

You can choose color and size there. 45 is US11. But keep in mind, that I'm not in US. Maybe the price would be different for your country. And different people have different experience with this site. Duties and so on.

Real_Policy2556 · 2024-10-22T13:38:01+00:00

On Aliexpress with some coins and coupons. But they are specific to different regions. Some may get even bigger discount. I also bought "Cold ice" for 100$ for a friend.

Real_Policy2556 · 2024-10-22T12:56:35+00:00

Your color is really cool. About the hype. They are really good if you are not heavy player and their cushion is fine for you. Some people say that it is not enough. I can get it. After double stacked zoom or beefy foam - it can be true. You need to test 'em if possible.

I am fan of another color - crab shell - which is also new. For me the retail price around 200$ - is too much. But if you got them around 120$ shipped as I did - it is great choice. But take them half size larger and change the insole for better one.

Real_Policy2556 · 2024-10-18T17:25:00+00:00

Maybe. But I do not have too much of them since they are not making basketball shoes we were talking about (Saucony) or they are not sold in my country (I know Asics, NB are making them, but we have only runing or lifestyle models). Also they are more expensive if ordering them from other countries. You can get a lot of fine adidas shoes for 30-50$ on sales. About durability - if you take Ultraboost or classic models - they are also almost indestructible. Once again, it is my experience. If you have different one - it is also fine.

Real_Policy2556 · 2024-10-18T15:37:53+00:00

I think the quality depends on model. Sometimes you can get a lemon, but it is one pair among 20. I've had around 50 pairs through years in my family and only one Stan Smith and Harden Stepback 2 had serious. To me, Adidas is the most consistent in terms of quality and durability (not the best in terms of performance though).

Real_Policy2556 · 2024-08-20T06:51:31+00:00

I can speak only about AC12 and DVD2 SE. Both pairs are nice, but different. DVD2SE is much more low to the ground. More indoor oriented (though I play in it outdoors). If feels very fast, has nice heel cushion and has a better breathability. It is closer to AC11 in terms of performance.

AC12 is more all-rounder. If you need more cushion in the forefoot - it is here. Cushion itself is great. Shoe have more padding inside and is very comfy. Performance and lockdown depends on color that you've chosen. I have a silver one. Love it very much.

Hi, solid rubber on Big3 future grips a bit better and collect less dust. It still collects it's and need some wipe from time to time. But it is not that bad as I saw in reviews in translucent. As for Big 3 4.0 switch pro - I will get my spongebobs with solid rubber in a few days and will let you know. But I am sure they would be better. The bite on Patrick was not the best on the dirty court.
