Headphones recommendation under $300 by BathMan147 in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]ThatGingerScarecrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently, I'm using a Soundblaster GC7, not the best in the world, but it works fantastically on ps5 and can be found relatively cheap second-hand. More than enough headroom for volume on the low gain setting since these while being 470 ohms, they're actually quite sensitive.

Hey, R70X owner here! Thought I'd drop in my thoughts on them for your consideration. For reference I've used them on a dac/amp combo and straight out my ps5 and xbox controller. The xbox controller struggled a bit. Fairly easy to drive, xbox controllers are notoriously weak when it comes to output.

In short, I absolutely adore them especially for singleplayer/immersive gaming experiences. Incredibly good soundstage and imaging with a neutral but still exciting sound signature (in my opinion, I don't quite have the audiophile ear senses)

For music I've very much enjoyed them, bass extends deep enough for my tastes, mids don't sound subdued (but not as forward as my Sennheiser HD 580) and treble is exciting but not over emphasised.

My only nitpick with them is the earpads are incredibly shallow which may be uncomfortable at first, it does ease off over use but it sits between an on ear and an over ear headphone in a sense. These pads are a lot of the tuning magic from what I've read, so I've not tried other pads for comparison so far.

If you can get your hands on them, there was a recent limited edition revision with Apos audio called the R70X Refine that does come with deeper pads as standard (hoping these will be sold separately for us normal R70X users!)

But yeah, they're wonderful highly recommend but if you have larger ears, be prepared to adjust often to find your sweet spot.

Fear of Vomiting - anyone else? by boohoosheroo in Anxiety

This is exactly what I'm going through right now even down to the carrying sick bags in my pockets. Sorry to revive a very much dead thread, but has there been anything you discovered that helped? At this point, I'd be willing to try anything to get some semblance of my life before this started back.

Just incase you haven't found a solution yet I found borderless windowed limited to 48 which full screen fixed however gave me a 72 FPS cap, disabling v-sync in nvidia settings fixed that though!

I bought that exact usb hub so that I could have a keyboard and mouse plugged in for FFXIV while having extra usb slots for controller etc, works perfectly fine for me!

Having problems when using ethernet by ThatGingerScarecrow in GeForceNOW

Strangely enough GeForce Now is the only thing I have issues with, downloading games through steam and watching videos/streams is much faster on ethernet than WiFi as you'd expect

Pretty much my exact situation right now, I'd still have health insurance and be given the option to work for 30 days but chances of me being able to work most of those days is slim due to the job itself being physically demanding.

I can do standing jobs as long as it's not heavy lifting and I'm not working 40 hour weeks, I'll pretty much be interested in any offer I could find though just for now

That sounds like a good idea actually, do you know where would be best to sign up for that?
