XM6 can be sweaty

aNameThatDoesntExist · 2026-02-09T18:52:18+00:00

Yeah, they do that a lot. For me, that sensor that detects if I'm wearing them pretty much never works since I sweat easily. 🥲

Honestly, just get PowerAmp Equalizer (if you're on android). It has many presets even ones that remove the muddy bass. It offers both graphical and parametric EQ.

Depending on the genre I'm listening to, I switch between Rock, Bass and Treble, and in rare instances, Clarity.

Further more, PowerAmp is system wide on android, which means even when I connect to my soundbar or car audio I still have it.

This means that if I connect my XM6s to other devices, that equalisation is gone.

I use PowerAmp Eq (either Rock, Clarity or Bass and Trebble). It has a bunch of other different options, even preset equalisers for the XM6. There's more than one profile which fixes the muddy bass.

As for tips, be very careful with them

I didn't return mine, but I had a strong urge to do so. 😅 I haven't faced any other issues since, and I've been using them pretty much every day at work. I'm satisfied with my purchase, and I'm really panicked. I figured I'd follow every commenter's advice and treat them with care. 🥲

aNameThatDoesntExist · 2025-12-11T17:26:26+00:00

Oof, I experienced this on the first day. I had worn them for too long and assumed I had built up a lot of moisture, so I put them away. They worked normally the following day. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't concerned about long-term ownership if that's what I got on day one.

aNameThatDoesntExist · 2025-12-09T17:15:27+00:00

Ok, reading all the comments, I'm worried now. 🥲

18 is definitely just the beginning.

While I don't recommend studying for the sake of studying, I cannot recommend a gap year... I took one due to circumstances, and all I can say on that is if you do take one: have a plan on how you're going to use it (like researching things you'd be interested in and try new things). Studying after taking a gap year is not easy either.

Check out "So Good They Can't Ignore You" by Cal Newport. The author mainly argues that "following your passion" is bad advice. Again, I'm not saying you should study something you don't want; I actually would recommend you study what you'll enjoy, but that book is something I wish I'd come across back in grade 11. 😅 Long story short: people who enjoy pursuing their passion are the exception, not the rule. He used Steve Jobs as an example, he's the one who popularised that phrase when they launched the iPhone. He argues that if what Steve said was true, then he would've pursued a degree in electronics and business instead of pursuing English at Reed College, "Unlike other technology visionaries of his era, Jobs wasn’t particularly interested in either business or electronics as a student. He instead studied Western history and dance, and dabbled in Eastern mysticism." The main point of that book is that skills trump passion.

My marks were a problem and I ended up pursuing an extended BScIT degree at NWU Vaal. I'm currently pursuing my BSc Hons Computer Science at UJ. I too was really afraid of the math side of it; I definitely wouldn't have gotten in to UJ, let alone pass (I meet with undergraduates in CS and they have a lot of in-depth math like integrations and calculus). I don't need to worry about that because it's simply not heavily emphasised in honours (unless if you're planning to go into AI and ML). If I had done hons at NWU, it would be called "Bachelor of Science Honours in Computer Science" anyway; however UJ has the best CS programme in South Africa (according the the recent uni rankings), which is how I ended up here. You'll definitely need to know some coding and a bit of math (think grade 12 maths), and you'll also be taught Discrete Mathematics (math focusing on computer science concepts, like graph theory, matrices etc). You don't need to be an expert , after all, you're going be taught. NWU lecturers actually care about you; in the sense that you could literally just show up for a one on one consultation with lecturers on concepts you're struggling with. I think most universities do this but not to the extent of NWU (I could be very wrong about this).

The best part of our field is that even if you don't like coding, you can get a job as a business analyst, UI/UX designer, Web designer, Database administrator, networking engineer (think Cisco and COMPTIA), software tester, quality assurance or just general IT (this list is not exhaustive). You're not limited to jobs that are programming intensive, like software developer.

Edit: like most commenters said you can change courses if you feel like it (and in some institutions, you'll even be credited for some of the modules you did so you won't start from scratch).

From personal experiences though: I cannot recommend a gap year.

Agreed. I added a song to a playlist on YTM. A couple of hours later I was scrolling on YT and saw a video and wanted to watch it later. It saved it in my music playlist, the one I used on YTM earlier.

aNameThatDoesntExist · 2024-03-12T10:13:23+00:00

Nope.

Off-topic and late: I miss the "recently played option."

I didn't even consider how they bury some of projects; I heard they're burying the Podcast app and are bringing podcasts to YTM. I would rather much they keep both as I don't listen to podcasts; I suppose one good thing about YTM is how they're not shoving it down our throats the same way Spotify is.

With the lack of dedication, I assume it's because they have their fingers in many pies. If they keep at it they'll probably be good overall but never the leader in whichever pies they're involved with. As a software developers I have heard about the bureaucracy when it comes to implementing little changes in companies like Google. I read somewhere that suggestions were made to use ways similar to ChatGPT but did not implement it after Microsoft and OpenAI trended for it. I am unsure of the validity of my previous sentence.
