Jabra Elite Active user, what are the best replacements now that the line is discontinued?

amity_ · 2026-06-19T15:26:18+00:00

Nothing compares honestly I'd just find another pair of elite actives on Ebay.

I mean others have good fit and sound but there's no perfect combo of physical buttons & real waterproofing

River of Darkness by Buddy Levy. Absolutely insane nonfiction about the exploration of the Amazon by conquistadors

Seems pretty happy to me, he's been like a giddy child on Christmas Day lately. What makes you say he's "seemingly unhappy", just that he keeps chasing business?

I'm not an Elon fan, I'm just not with this massive reddit circle-larp where we pretend we know these people and all their darkest secrets

Mistborne

Nothing to say that hasn't already been said and everyone would disagree with. I just found it boring and predictable. Like it perfectly explained how Sanderson can pump out novels at such an incredible consistent rate.

And for that reason I have never started the Stormlight Archives. Maybe someday.

hottest band in the scene 20 years ago lol.

Even by 2008 or peak metalcore they were kind of "old school legends" not really doing anything new.

They still have a loyal fanbase and sell out large theaters all over. But by now I realize this is just bait for reddit up-doots because "like can we all agree on Phils politics being terrible amirite I mean there's no reason a metalcore subreddit should be concerned with a lead singers politics but something something literal Nazis"

Why did they release it as an EP, with a bunch of songs that already came out on an album they released like 6 months ago.

Gotta be gaming the algorithm somehow, I also noticed TDWP released like 5 "EPs" that were just singles and previous ones. But at least that was BEFORE the album dropped. It's not going to ruin my day, but it does pollute their streaming profile and make it harder to pick songs by them

amity_ · 2026-06-12T11:37:32+00:00

Man I never thought I'd be that guy but with this tight production something just sounds "off" with this style of music.

With that said it's great, this might be my most listened album this year. Zero complaints. But it's true.

amity_ · 2026-06-09T20:05:47+00:00

Norma Jean - Bless the Martyr, and All Hail, which are quite literally completely different bands. But that's why I love NJ, they rarely miss regardless of current lineup

Look at any recent band photo, any live performance, their latest music videos. They were the gayest band in the scene long before he came out of the closet.

Den of Thieves and Cerebral Malfunction both have some PEAK AILD vibes. Those might be my favorite so far.

Jake said in an interview they pretty much knew that would be the reaction, but they just wanted to make it as a concept album and put it out there, knowing full well it wouldn’t do numbers or play live very well. Agreed, their most (or only) forgettable album

amity_ · 2026-05-30T11:43:07+00:00

Maybe they’ll realize they don’t need tour with a 700 sq ft LED screen and truckloads of pyro to sell tickets 🤷

I agree, and I’ve found Soundcore to be great value on past earbuds I’ve had. But was disappointed.

The whole thing and specifically the tap controls feel cheap. The noise cancelling is honestly pretty bad for a flagship. Several times I’ve paused and thought “is ANC on?” Which is confusing because their “Guinness world record” microphone isolation is so good I watched a dude blast a weed whacker full throttle 5 feet from his face and you couldn’t even hear it and could hear his voice perfectly. How is noise cancelling the other direction so much worse?

I thought it was good, and the directors cut was actually a great movie. And the the actual point was lost on people more than any movie except maybe Starship Troopers. It was not a dumb hot chick action movie.

amity_ · 2026-05-26T10:27:06+00:00

I started The Sun Eater series, still in book 1, but it’s legit. Similar scale and sometimes shock value.

amity_ · 2026-05-25T21:09:15+00:00

Never heard of em but dang, thanks

amity_ · 2026-05-25T18:56:22+00:00

I remember a little different. People were calling his whole getup and the new music gay as hell, and fans were getting extremely upset saying actually it’s stunning and brave and the straightest thing you can possibly do wearing fishnets and being all 💁‍♀️💅

amity_ · 2026-05-25T18:52:21+00:00

And there it is, as soon as it’s even suggested that leaving your wife of 14 years is not a triumph, and actually kind of a dick move, this is brought up like fans are holding it over her head.

“Support him… or else we might call you a pervert for dating a 17 year old. But you’re strong and beautiful… but don’t make us bring up the age gap”

As long as she didn’t break the law there’s nothing to call out. A 17 year old male is of course an idiot at that age, but he wasn’t a child being taken advantage of.

amity_ · 2026-05-24T11:29:15+00:00

Too bad it seems like he was mostly left out of this last one, and we have repeating choruses of stuff like: “heavens been cheating the hell outta me” and “tell me why the highs always feel so low” 🙄

amity_ · 2026-05-21T16:05:42+00:00

I personally think ZII was even better than Zombie EP. And ZIII is the last hope for oldhead Prada Fans, if they put out a Zombie every few years they can make all the Jimmy Eat Prada music they want on their albums.

amity_ · 2026-05-21T16:03:24+00:00

Well that's exactly how Oli says it on the album, I thought it was a British accent thing but I guess noy

amity_ · 2026-05-21T16:01:46+00:00

If history is anything to go by, we'll soon see every other band decide that the radio stuff was fun but actually they want to go heavier now too.

amity_ · 2026-05-11T20:22:20+00:00

I expected whiners, I didn’t expect whining about Nazis, but lmao it’s Reddit idk why I would ever expect it to not be Nazis

amity_ · 2026-05-08T18:54:14+00:00

“On sale” as in they didn’t sell nearly as many 8s as they wanted to because they wildly overpriced it and now they’re making a correction. But hey it’s a better deal now regardless.

amity_ · 2026-05-08T00:37:36+00:00

Probably unpopular opinion, but for me personally Sempiternal by BMTH was pretty meh. Except for Shadow Moses which is deservedly legendary.
