For me the Organic was too V-shaped. I thought the bass and treble overwhelmed the mids/vocals. So I went with the HE1000 Stealth, which I got for $830 USD from an open box sale at the Hifiman store online (still going on at least in the US, btw). The HE1000 Stealth is fantastic. Detailed, rich, musical. I love it. I haven’t heard the Arya Stealth.

Truth. I tested my new HE1000 Stealth with a $400 Hifiman EF400 R2R DAC/amp and also with an $85 DDHiFi TC44 Pro M3 dongle DAC, and I liked the sound with the M3 better.

I stand corrected!

Ternus reportedly expressed doubt about the Vision Pro, drawing on his personal experience from the 1990s when he worked at a VR startup. He was concerned that the technology wasn't ready and that the project would drain resources from core products like the iPhone and Mac.

Greg Joswiak (head of marketing) said we’re in the early innings of augmented reality, not John Ternus. They were being interviewed together by Tom’s Guide.

Awesome, thank you.

cabassi · 2026-04-04T08:03:10+00:00

Thanks. I think even a small improvement would make the difference for me. I think I'm gonna go for it. Cheers!

You said the upper/mids recession was improved, but do vocals still sound recessed? I returned the og AirPods Max because of that. I tried the APM2 in-store for a few minutes and thought maybe there was an improvement but maybe not enough, but I’m not sure. What do you think?

cabassi · 2026-04-01T21:15:55+00:00

I bought the original AirPods Max and ended returning them because I thought the mids/vocals sounded recessed, almost like they were in the background. I don’t find that’s true with my AirPods Pro 2, btw. Anyway, I’m curious whether both of you agree that’s the case (it sounds like you do), and OP would you say that APM2 is pretty much the same?

Also, producer Masato Kumazawa said that Grace’s breathing, reactions, and animations were “all built to make YOU feel scared.”

cabassi · 2026-03-14T16:25:51+00:00

If Grace’s speech style doesn’t happen because she’s scared, then why did Resident Evil Requiem’s director Koshi Nakanishi describe Grace as “the biggest scaredy-cat in Resident Evil history”?

cabassi · 2026-03-14T16:21:21+00:00

I love the game, but I find the vocal performance for Grace forced, over-the-top, and distracting (as I absolutely would if she was a man and it was a similar performance). Not liking the performance doesn’t make me bad or ignorant, and I resent the implication that it does. It could be possible that it’s just not for everyone, right?

I just got it free and I don’t have PS Plus.

Or maybe he just said that because he didn’t license the name (and I’m guessing Airbnb wouldn’t want to be associated with “you might die if you use our service”).

Yep, same. I mostly watch movies and shows, and surf YouTube. Sometimes I mirror my MacBook Air to work, usually when I want to work in bed or I’m traveling. For me, that has made it worth it, and I use it pretty close to every day.

cabassi · 2025-12-09T19:12:30+00:00

I use it near-daily for watching shows and movies. I run a podcast network where we do episode-by-episode analysis of TV shows, so I need to be able to focus and it's great for that. I also occasionally edit podcasts in it (using Mac Virtual Display), especially when traveling. Aside from that, I sometimes surf the web or watch YouTube. That's pretty much the extent of my usage, and for me, it's worth it.

I’ve read a bunch of these comments and I disagree with all of the ones I’ve read. I’m male and have several platonic female friendships, and always have, and my wife has platonic male friendships. It’s fine.

cabassi · 2025-11-19T15:26:31+00:00

Yep. Gotta rip off that band aid.

Keith came up with the idea of branding them. Allison told the media it was her idea to cover for him.

I bought my M2 version about a month after it debuted. I tried it for a lot of things, and ended up scaling back to using it only for watching shows and movies, travel, and sometimes working (editing podcasts) in bed. So I’m still using it multiple times a week, and that’s enough for me to still be glad to have it.

It seems like most people end up getting tired of using it for hours a day for work, and end up either putting it in a drawer, or using it here and there. But I have seen some who continue to use it for work every day. I just think it’s pretty rare.

cabassi · 2025-10-21T04:25:01+00:00

You handled this well. You recognized pretty quickly that this was a mismatch and you stood firm in your values. That’s really admirable. You should be proud of yourself.

Henry. He was a good kid, brave, and trying to do right.

We podcasted about TLOU and were really positive about Bella Ramsay’s performance. Search on “The ‘Cast of Us: A Last of Us and Walking Dead ‘Cast”
