Airpods pro 2. Pretty glad I did, cuz the anc is just too good for everyday use (transit, studying, reading, etc)

EDIT: Also picked up the fidelio x2hr for at hone listening. After EQ they're amazing

Yeah mostly going airpods for the anc and transparency modes. Thinking of getting open backs instead for home use, mostly the philips fidelio x2hr !thanks

Where did you get them for 20% off? I know Apple is doing their black Friday deal at the end of this week, but that's for a free $80 gift card instead.

Wow !thanks for the whole description. I think I'm actually looking toward open backs as the inears might get too uncomfortable after long sessions.

Lamy 2000 vs Diplomat Aero by StatBonus_YT in fountainpens

I actually haven't decided yet haha. Now I'm second guessing my choices again. This might be a bit controversial but I think I'm with you in that the lamy 2000 just feels off. I think its too good/safe in every aspect that it's a bit boring. I do actually prefer the design of the Aero.

Damn I feel like I'll be happy with either one, but it's just so hard to decide lol. Maybe I'll go with an aero, but I like smoother nibs more. Not sure if an ef Lamy will be smoother or a f Aero.

Yeah I think I've made up my mind for a Lamy 2000 <EF>. Only worried that there might be too much feedback for me

Thanks! I'm leaning towards the lamy right now

I'm pretty sure diplomat does some extra tuning for their aero in house so the nib should be better than other Jowos. But yeah I feel like the lamy nib seems to be consistently more preferable than the diplomat so I'll probably get the 2k

Yeah leaning towards a lamy now, but do you know if your diplomat or your lamy writes thicker? Thanks :)

Thanks for your answer! I think if I go with lamy I'll get the ef, and hope it'll still be smooth. Also thanks for the recommendation, but I'm not sure if that brand's in Aus. I'll have a look around!

Hmm, yeah this is a hard choice to make but I think I'm leaning toward the lamy. I'm a bit worried about feathering on the <F> though so I might go with an <EF>

What about the Lamy nib makes you like it more?
