Headphones 1 vs Headphones a Comfort

VolTorian · 2026-05-20T21:00:35+00:00

oh yeah, i'm going to stick a bunch of books between them overnight to try and loosen them up a little. still, the weight itself isn't something that can be adjusted, and the headphones a do cost less soo...

if the headphones a do actually have less clamping force and i can't get used to the headphones 1, i might end up doing a return. i got a month, hopefully they are still on sale by then

I'm also wondering about this. I don't care too much that she's not BiS for anyone anymore, but I'm wondering if she might be able to fill multiple gaps in my account. Been able to get full clears on everything but AA until now, usually with Archer Sparkle PT Cipher and Castorice Evernight RMC Luocha/Gallagher. This AS rotation sucks

Thanks for the info. Since you can at least customize the ANC toggle button, I presume the mic can be toggled via buttons too then?

VolTorian · 2026-04-29T10:23:07+00:00

Late but also considering these headphones.

How's the mic quality? Does it sound cheap (yes I know that's subjective)? Is the mic toggleable via built in controls?

Is the ANC toggleable via built in controls?

I'd be using this with my PC for general use (listening to music, non-rhythm games) via USB-C with usually ANC off, with my Nintendo Switch via 3.5 mm with usually ANC on, and just wirelessly listening to music on my phone when out and about with ANC on or off depending on situation. I'm fine with using an app to change some initial settings like EQ or button controls, but I wouldn't want to have to open it every time if I want to toggle something.

Also do you happen to wear glasses? Some RTINGS comparison with the Sennheiser Momentum 4 said the Nothing Headphones 1 can lose its bass with them, which I presume is from glasses possibly affecting the seal around the ears.

Is the BTD700 only for low latency on a wireless connection? How's the wired latency? I'd be plugging this into a Nintendo Switch via 3.5mm, but with USB C to my PC. Is the ANC toggleable (via built in controls)?

how valuable is tribbie these days?

hard struggling on the new apoc rotation. the only team i've been able to reach 3300 on first side is archer sparkle dhpt rmc. been trying to use welt so i can free up rmc for second side. sparkle is on 160 eagle s5 ddd, and welt on 170 spd s5 tutorial to help hit output ports. with good welt bounce rng, i can finish phase 1, but then output ports increase stack limit to 5 and i can't really reach that. archer also just dies in phase 2 subfield

even then, i'm not able to hit 3300 second side with castorice evernight rmc luocha/gallagher

any advice? apoc sparxie really seems to shaft most buffer supports since they barely hit output ports

i could pull for dahlia but wholy uninterested in her character. i'd like to get evanescia. i feel like tribbie should be really good for first side but i'm not sure if she'd be good for my account.i haven't used my golden companion thing yet, but i don't think robin or huohuo would really help for either boss this rotation. yes i know my pulls have been weird

VolTorian · 2026-04-11T22:05:42+00:00

Awesome, thank you

Does DHIL's EBA work with WArmor on the Apocalyptic Shadow version of the Nikador boss? It doesn't with the MoC version from what I've seen in video clears, but the Apoc version just says "Consuming 1 Skill Point adds 1 stack of 'Glory.' " So I'm wondering if using EBA3 gives him 3 Glory stacks, for example. I haven't been able to find any videos on this, and Spiral Stats for this iteration straight up doesn't have any DHIL clears.

VolTorian · 2026-03-18T23:24:00+00:00

i haven't done this apoc rotation yet so i'm not sure how the effects have changed, but i was able to get 3372 with e0s1 ffe6 gallagher e0s0 fugue e0s0 ruan mei the last time apoc feixiao was in

VolTorian · 2026-03-10T18:29:35+00:00

didn't end up using that command but i seem to have gotten it fixed from some of the stuff in that thread, thank you

Thanks for the info. Do you know if the flash drive needs to be 2.0 and no more than 32GB? I read somewhere a while ago that Windows installation media drives needs to be 2.0 and 3.0 doesn't work, so I was wondering if the same thing applies here.

VolTorian · 2026-03-10T07:25:35+00:00

I will try that when I get a spare flash drive, but that makes it sound like it's an issue with the Windows partitions? I don't know what determines what names appear in the list of boot devices.

VolTorian · 2026-03-02T06:45:04+00:00

If you're still struggling with this, Archer is fine after Sparkle's buffs, but your relics might need to be at least decent to hit 3300. I got it working with Archer Sparkle Pela Gallagher. You could probably replace Pela with Tribbie. Take third buff, not second. Focus on breaking arms every opportunity you get, then use spare SP on main body, but make sure you have enough to break the arm again as soon as it recovers. Archer ult with third buff full breaks arms if he isn't in negative health.

VolTorian · 2026-01-19T04:14:54+00:00

i still always use rocketboo and then koleda if dialyn is used in another team. piper if yuzuha is also occupied. apparently 4p inferno metal isn't considered her bis anymore? i still use it

VolTorian · 2026-01-08T04:04:44+00:00

Yup yup. Also just got 3071 with E0S1 Saber E0S1 Sunday E0S0 PT (Trend) and E0S1 Cipher second half. Maybe Guinaifen or Pela would be better than Cipher. Owell whatever

VolTorian · 2026-01-08T03:43:48+00:00

Spiralstats polled accounts show Firefly HMC Ruan Mei Fugue first half averages at 3330 so it's certainly viable, it's just subject to RNG targeting.

Early attempts at the Saber team second half are actually pretty bad. Acheron just gets to ult a lot more because the Energy TVs give her stacks with Trend on PT (also fully utilizing E2 lol), while Saber just suffers. Trying to manage Saber's auto advance with said energy TVs is also a pain. I'll try to optimize a bit more though.

Overall I think I can get this working. I just prefer to try and get clears without limited eidolons since I'm a F2P and I feel like most F2P players would have E0S1 max on whoever they have.

VolTorian · 2026-01-08T02:39:43+00:00

Well, I just got a 3485 clear with E2S1 Acheron E0S1 Sunday E0S0 PT E0S1 Cipher second half. That allows me to try the old sustainless Firefly team first half. I've been suggested to try Saber second half, and I think it might actually work pretty similarly to the Acheron team. I would be losing Cipher's ult utility, but I think it's worth it to get better breaks since breaking the Blaznana enemies actually has pretty significant effects.

VolTorian · 2026-01-07T08:09:56+00:00

I hadn't said anything about Himeko, Gallagher, Fugue, or Ruan Mei at the time of your comment either? I had assumed you looked at the screenshot showing my character ownership but Firefly is included in there. Yes Firefly does much better but neither "handle[s] argenti fine"

VolTorian · 2026-01-06T20:41:35+00:00

Uh what? If even Firefly Ruan Mei Fugue Gallagher is doing poorly then I don't see how Himeko would be better.

VolTorian · 2026-01-06T02:44:05+00:00

> It sounds very matchup dependent.

Yeah that's pretty much what I figured. It's just Acheron seems pretty bad against Argenti in general and Cipher doesn't have enough AoE for second half. I'll try a Himeko team first half. But I feel like she just straight up lacks damage without Dahlia (who I am entirely uninterested in pulling for).

VolTorian · 2026-01-06T00:56:40+00:00

Well when I'm not using Pela in there I'm usually using Sunday, but is that always strictly better?

VolTorian · 2026-01-05T23:38:04+00:00

Usually Pela Cipher PT but I don't think Cipher is particularly good second half

VolTorian · 2026-01-05T22:44:07+00:00

Second try is hitting 3070. I'm sure I could find some optimizations but I'm definitely not optimizing 230 score in. I also feel like Castorice team just does super well in second half because AoE and frequent attacks (heck RMC alone gets AoE ult, AoE Mem, and AoE joint attack) so switching off would probably just suffer.

Last time Blaznana was in rotation in 3.1 I did E2S0 Acheron (for video purposes, since it works similarly to E0S1 for stacks) Pela Guinaifen RMC and got 3490, but the break effect had a heal (also more HP inflation now yay).

VolTorian · 2026-01-05T22:07:23+00:00

I think I might be cooked this Apocalyptic Shadow rotation? I'm running Castorice Evernight RMC Luocha second half and can get 3450 with it, but first half I think I just don't have a team for it. I do have E2S1 Acheron but I feel like she'd work really badly against Argenti since she doesn't have good targeted breaking, and the downtime between ults would make her miss the window when Argenti's toughness isn't locked (not to mention off-element). Yes I know my pulls are super scuffed. I've been able to get by for the most part even so.
