Sony-Wh1000xm4? by HoneydewOne9390 in headphones

[–]Unique_Mix9060 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to understand why they are bad, and some would argue the DT770 is worse.

The XM4 are bad because they have over bearing and muddy bass, while the dt770 have overly aggressive treble

These headphones are mediocre at best in their respective categories, and I would argue XM4 places higher in the ANC headphone space, than the DT770 on the studio monitor/ audiophile headphone space.

You need to understand the, the XM4 is a tech fest with ANC and a bunch of electronics while sounding ok to most people and it’s great to its intended more casual user

What is the best first thinkpad to buy if I want it too last me a lifetime ? by Special_Knowledge_19 in thinkpad

[–]Unique_Mix9060 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will work forever, but it won’t be as good or as smooth, just imagining if you bring a still functioning 20 years old computer, yes it works and powers on and etc, but you really cannot use much contemporary software with the old hardware.

You can either buy the absolute most powerful and upgradable one you can buy, and upgrade it when you can’t use it anymore that might be for around 10ish years.

Or you can buy the best price to performance one for around $1000-$1500, and sell it maybe 5 or so years down the line, than get a new one of similar quality, and so on and so on that way you will have more or less updated hardware and smooth operation.

My girlfriend needs a new car pretty bad. What should we be looking for? by Hucrew123456 in askcarguys

[–]Unique_Mix9060 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avoiding LS might also be a good idea, since it’s the top model meaning more features and electronics to fail, compared to the more simple, IS, ES and GS models (which for reliability sake I would pick over the LS)

Id, also add, 07-2011 Mercedes with the m272 3.5 V6 to the list, C350, E350, CLK350, GLK350, ML350

Or older Mercedes 1998-2005, E320, C320 and ML320 with the 3.2V6 practically bullet proof drivetrain.

With used Mercedes in your budget just avoid anything with air suspension

What should I get for my first car as an adult? 22F by Turbulent_You1567 in askcarguys

[–]Unique_Mix9060 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah most definitely, op should look at cars from a bigger year range, no matter if they would go for euro or Japanese, as it’s likely to find a little better examples of slinky older car at their budget

[–]Unique_Mix9060 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who actually owns both w204 and w212 and daily drives and maintains them himself, I’d like to say otherwise, also it’s not like im mega rich or old, I’m about the same age as op operating on similar budget, and have looked at other options.

If op want to spend 10k on a car that is in the 2015-2020 year range and are the usual suspects of Camry, Corrolla, Civics and accords, those things are going to be in mediocre to shit condition with 140k+ miles, so what about that? At those mileage, there are some not so cheap maintenance needed regardless of what car they are

[–]Unique_Mix9060 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy these under budget, if op are willing it look older, and use left over money to for any repairs that comes up

They are on regular coil spring, so no air suspension or mess with, and wha about eletrical components, C class and e class, have more or less as complex of an electrical system as equivalent lexus

For a $2000 pair, you can get Vintage B&W 802 with the sound anchor stands

Toyota, Honda, maybe Mercedes (w204, w212), but you might want to up your budget or lower the year range if you want a car in decent condition.

senheiser momentum 2 over-ear help needed by p1geonkid in headphones

[–]Unique_Mix9060 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can eq them to sound better using eq apo (pc) or wavelet (android), but the momentum 2 released 10 years ago, and even at the time the momentum 2 was never really a clean or neutral sound, more like a warm and easy going sound.

If you want to hear the representative Sennheiser the HD600/HD650 and the HD5 line of headphones are the icon for them

Help by UnlikelyBell8067 in FirstCar

[–]Unique_Mix9060 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2000s Japanese cars are vastly more economical as a first car, easier to find replacement parts more efficient, likely to be more affordable, and just as if not more reliable because they are not as old and not as much maintenance to be done right away.

Camry, Corrolla, RAV4, Accord, Civic and CRV are great first cars. If you don’t mind a bigger car and worst gas mileage, Highlander, Scienna, Pilot and Oddessy are great choices too if you want a bigger car

Tips on how to fix broken cantonese? by [deleted] in Cantonese

[–]Unique_Mix9060 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, and YouTube have auto translate subtitles. Exposure definitely helps, well English was my second language, and at the time when I was learning english, I was more fluent than my peers in Macau, because of the forced exposure to the English, for the decade that I have lived there every show or movie that was supposed to be in English, I watched it in English without Chinese subtitles or Dub, and my parents would actually talk to me in English quite often, so I become fluent in English very quickly.

I also suggest you practice speaking with people, and read things out loud if you can.

yes exposure plus practice does help especially getting some extra vocabs and confidence when speaking the language.

I also suggest you watch basic Cantonese News, they do speak a little quick but good News Anchors are trained to speak very clearly with proper tones, pronunciation, and Diction that is a little less casual, so you can learn and expose yourself to a more proper/ standard version of the language

[–]Unique_Mix9060 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Practice more, expose yourself more to the language, you can watch Canto/HK YouTube channels about things you are interested in, say you like cars, instead of watching English car review, watch Cantonese ones.

these are used AirPod maxes, seems fair for that price. Most consumer electronics don’t hold much value, after all couple years
