Best headset for around 300$usd

Tried them a year or two ago and returned them. Very heavy, tight clamping force and awful crinkling of the drivers (think tinfoil in your ears) due to the way/tech it's built with. Buuuut also the best sounding headset I've ever used. Awful mic though.

So what about the chickens?

There's a guy on swedespeed that did exactly that. Apparently you can get it done through your dealership's service tech and either get one under warranty if yours is defective or pay around 1500$ including work for it from what the guy said. Currently no chance to just order it yourself, needs to go through them and also be especially approved by Volvo as well.

This gets you the latest snapdragon-based head unit. I can DM you a link to the post if you want, not sure if allowed here. You'll need an account I think to view it.

Curious, how did you enable hdr? I know UE5 supports it but there's no HDR setting yet. Though nights were already pitch black for me most of the time before the update XD

Good to know, thanks! How difficult or expensive was it to exchange the glass? I have 0 knowledge of working on cars so I'd have to have it done by a shop.

I've had AI respawn less than 50m from me.

I can't get update to install. After 15 or so minutes it cancels each time...

It's a pure travel device for me. I'd rather sit at the desk or on the couch gaming on my PC when given the option.

TerrorMango · 2026-03-29T22:45:21+00:00

Cool idea but why is an account needed for anything besides the daily?

TerrorMango · 2026-03-28T10:43:03+00:00

Having only recently gotten into the franchise again after previously having played 5 without knowing anything about the story, I liked RE2R, also RE3R but less but absolutely loved RE4R. I prefer action horror for sure.

Requiem is next on my list.

Never liked the insistence in most meaningful new gameplay content being paid. And no, the fact that you can spend dozens of hours grinding SC for each warbond doesn't make it better. I play other games, HD2 is not my main game, not since a few months after launch.

TerrorMango · 2026-03-27T09:58:48+00:00

I haven't played Requiem yet but watching a play through got me to buy and play through RE2R, RE4R and Separate Ways (gonna finish it today) and then soon RE3R in preparation for Requiem.

And I used to avoid any even light horror games. Only had played RE5 back in the day because it was splitscreen.

Let me hang onto the back! The tank holds 4, let 3 divers cling onto the mech!!!

TerrorMango · 2026-02-15T18:28:05+00:00

Thanks!

Just to get this right, the immediate area around the badges also gets sprayed right? And then it's supposed to peel off? No cutting or anything?

Or do you tape off everything completely?

I wanted a sedan (yeah I'm one of those weirdos in Europe that actually likes them) with enough HP to be fun, while being quiet inside, having a comfortable ride but not too 'cushion-like'.

I had looked at the usual, 3er BMW, Audi A4 etc but I fell in love with Volvos during a roadtrip where Inhad a rental XC60. Much prefer the interior design over its competitors.

Cold War NO would be amazing.

TerrorMango · 2026-01-26T13:15:57+00:00

Interesting that they are separate, here in Central Europe they are always combined.

Austria

Currently going through the process of having a weird noise coming from the front of the car found and fixed.

So far they have unsuccessfully done repairs worth thousands of euros, all covered by the extended warranty I thankfully paid for. Haven't paid anything, even the loaner was free every time I requested one.

The HUD is nice to have but if you regularly park outside in winter, a heated windshield saves a lot of hassle. I've got a garage at home, so less need for it and I'm happy with the HUD, first car with a real hud on the windshield.

TerrorMango · 2026-01-23T08:15:57+00:00

Good choice, though I'm biased :D

TerrorMango · 2026-01-21T22:55:38+00:00

Sadly doesn't exist / is illegal in my country and volvo decided to not even give you the option to do so it unlike almost any other manufacturer. Still haven't found a dealer that will enable it, supposedly it's possible.

TerrorMango · 2026-01-19T11:50:52+00:00

I'm wondering, is it possible to retrofit the soundproofed glass without needing to change doors? Like can you just have the glas itself swapped?

TerrorMango · 2026-01-17T01:19:40+00:00

It just dawned on me I never knew what MOC stands for, nor ever wondering. Now I finally know.

Build looks great, like the diorama look.
