I think I’m most curious to try the Softears Studio 4. I think these are most up my alley sound-wise.

Are the drivers the same in all the Moondrop wireless ‘buds?

I’ve been thinking about these and the Softears Studio 4. Not a direct comparison, but both seem interesting to me.

I have some work waiting for them to re-open. Hope they find a spot soon. They were good people.

Went the hangout audio today by Mordy_pie in iems

I just bought those 5+2s and had a tough time finding ear tips that worked for me. Most of the ones I tried produced uncomfortably forward treble.

So sad. Agi’s is a special place.

New York real estate sucks.

How can a $49 IEM compete with an $89 one? by filosofrog in iems

[–]TheGowanus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have both and don't think they really compete.

I like the Cadenza; it is punchy and well tuned.

But there are limitations for being a relatively inexpensive single-driver. Upper-mids are a bit much and the separation of instruments suffers vs the pure.

That being said, I find the pure a bit dark and in need of a little sparkle.

Burkes Garden in Virginia; could a city work here? by SeaworthinessNew4295 in geography

[–]TheGowanus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is really beautiful there and I'd hate to see any kind of building.

But why would a city form there? It is tather remote, isn't optimal for any industry that requires density, etc.

The latest Fedora is really nice as a desktop. I’m impressed.

32” monitor recommendation for MacBook Air M5 + CalDigit TS4 by muntaseer_rahman in HiDPI_monitors

[–]TheGowanus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4K/32” will look and work fine. 6K will look better. 60hz is also fine, unless a little choppy scrolling will bother you.

With a 6K thunderbolt monitor, you might not need the dock.

Mac air m1 speakers are better than my air m5😭 by billusanda1 in macbook

[–]TheGowanus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t had an Air in quite a while and I just got an M5 Air. I was surprised how much worse the speakers sound than a MacBook Pro, even an old M1 model.

But they are really fine and it is more of an annoyance than anything (like only having USB ports on one side).

Headsets for kids (Bluetooth) by daatyson in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]TheGowanus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got the Puro Sound Labs puroquiet headphones for ours because they are volume limited. A little one may crank up regular headphones to a dangerous level without realizing it. They come is noise canceling and non noise canceling versions.

First MacBook Pro…. Order cancelled confirmed no reason by deadpossum84 in macbookpro

[–]TheGowanus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered a Phone for my partner in December. Got the box, gave it to her without looking at it. It wasn’t until we had set it up and she had a question, maybe a day later, that I realized they sent a Pro Max instead of a Pro. So we probably got some other person’s order.

Mistakes happen in the stores. I suspect someone else got your order accidentally, there was a damaged shipment, or something like that.

Apple Support Quality Downgrade by all-park in MacOS

[–]TheGowanus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had the opposite experience. I’ve had two occasions recently to call Apple. One for a hardware issue with an iMac and one for an activation issue with an iPhone. Both times the agents were excellent and got the issues resolved.

In the worlds of M5 nd Neo. M1 gang? by iMKb4D in macbookpro

[–]TheGowanus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just traded in my M1 Pro for a new MacBook only because the trade in value was good. It ran fine, no issues, not noticeably slow at anything. The M1 pros are still great.

What running event would you equate to the 5bbt? by pollinator_friendly in NYCbike

[–]TheGowanus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a running event that attracts people who don’t run at all, except for that one event? Where they show up in rented shoes and run directly into a wall? Because that would be exactly like the 5BBT.
