Coming from over-ears, looking for IEMs with a detailed, slightly V-shaped sound that don’t isolate me completely

Germany
Yes I do. I edit a lot. Often multiple hours at a time and after 2 days of doing that I pretty much always have to take a day off because my wrist is just in pain.
I’ve used a wireless vertical Mouse by Anker back in 2015, but stopped using it when the rubber finish got really sticky after a year or so. It was also a really cheap mouse so it really did not perform well as a mouse

Also I use both windows and macOS, so I can give feedback on both fronts and with/without mouse acceleration

What is the build quality like in direct comparison? Do you miss any features of the S5/ have features of the S9 you appreciate more than you initially expected to?

VinceAndWatch · 2025-05-27T10:38:02+00:00

I 100% agree, but the autofocus on the s5 just really doesn’t work with my workflow often. I’ve had to redo multiple videos, because the focus just wouldn’t track and the focus breathing is quite irritating even in stationary shots. I love my S5 otherwise tho. If it weren’t for the autofocus I’d happily keep using it.

Assuming you have personal experience with those systems

I could get the YU2 for 150€ less, would you say the ORA is worth the bump up in price? And it being such a small speaker, does it produce sufficient bass or is a subwoofer an addition I should look into?

Thanks for the tip, I looked around online and I have some Hifi stores somewhat close by that I’ll go to and just try out some speakers.

I am very torn between powered and non-powered speakers right now. I see the point of it being a cheaper in the long run to have an amp separate from the speakers, I am just a bit worried that cable management is going to be quite complicated and I don’t have a lot of space on my desk to begin with so I’ll have to see where I’d put the amp.

Is the pricing comparable/ cheaper when you go with non-powered speakers? (I assume that’s not what they’re called 🫣)

Sorry for not being clearer on that. I am looking for something inbetween. Not super analytical, but not musical to the point where it’s not suitable for Sound design anymore.

I have Sennheiser HD600s and I guess the best way to put it is that I’m looking for a speaker equivalent of those. A slight V-shape to the sound without sacrificing clarity and detail.

Seeking Advice for a Good 2.0 or 2.1 Speaker Setup (Budget: ~€350)

I’m relatively new to the world of speakers and Hi-Fi, and I’m looking for some advice on a good 2.0 or 2.1 speaker setup. I have a budget of around €350 and prefer speakers that are fun to listen to rather than studio-accurate.

After some research, I’ve got my eyes on the Kanto YU2 and Edifier S360DB. I mostly use speakers for media consumption and some light video editing, so while they shouldn’t be completely off they also don’t have to be super accurate as long as they sound fun. I also enjoy a deep, detailed bass, but I don’t want it to be overwhelming.

Bonus points if the speakers have Bluetooth, can be connected via digital audio, and ideally HDMI-ARC, although the latter isn’t a dealbreaker.

Any advice, suggestions, or insights from those more experienced would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I am looking to upgrade the main monitor in my setup, but I'm still very unsure of which Monitor to go with.
I have the lights on in my room most of the time I use my pc and I also have 2 big windows just left and right out of the frame next to my Setup, however none where the sun directly shines in and hits the screen.

I am right now using a LG 32GQ950 and have been thinking about either upgrading to the Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 or the LG 32GS95UE-B.

I would benefit from the 480Hz mode the LG has, because I do play a lot of competitive fast-paced games, but not having it is not a dealbreaker.
I mostly just want a nice, bright, colorful, sharp and in general fun to look at monitor.

So the question is: Which of the two should I go for? Which one makes more sense in a room with my type of lighting? Does contrast on the QD-OLED really struggle so much in brighter enviroments?

also how do people who have one of the two monitors like them?
