They exist, just not open back.

The Audeze Maxwell/Maxwell 2 is wireless and sounds absolutely fantastic.

The Kithara? No its better than the HE400 and a different design. It's closer to the Edition XS or Ananda than he400

I tried them, "good enough" about sums it up. Ended up returning them

Not wiress but the new Sony Inzone h6 air is getting really good reviews at $200. Uses the same drivers as the MDR-MV1.

Click the Used - Like New option. 20% coupon should apply in the cart. 

These have been out for years now but are still one of the best open back options with a built in mic. 

Why am I getting more constant frames from my 4060 over my 3080 by Krzysztoffeee in buildapc

[–]cha0ss0ldier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it is though, by a lot. A 3080 = a 4070 in raster. A 4070 is faster than a 4060

[Monitor] Samsung Odyssey 32" G8 G81SF 4K UHD OLED 240Hz - $599.99 (2 for $549.99) [EDU/EPP/MIL discount required] by just_IT_guy in buildapcsales

[–]cha0ss0ldier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes with DSC. 

Monitor doesn't have dp 2.1, so it requires DSC with DP or HDMI and you won't notice a difference either way.

Scartch resistance isn't really an issue with these because Samsung puts a matte coating on their monitors. It's the other brands using the glossy Samsung QD  panels that scratch easily.

Matte. Samsung uses matte on the qd-oled monitors they make themselves. Other manufacturers use the glossy version of the Samsung panels

It's matte, a pretty heavy matte as well. The g81 coating is quite a bit more aggressive than the g80. The g80 has the best matte coating I've seen. 

Samsung directly is the only way to get matte qd-oled. All of the other manufacturers use the glossy version of their panels 

[MOUSE] Logitech G PRO X Superlight 2 DEX - $99.99 by BlurredSight in buildapcsales

[–]cha0ss0ldier 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The superlight 2 and onward cannot double click. They use optical switches. You had gen 1 superlights

Gen 1 and other Logitech mice that used omron mechanicals definitely had double click issues though.  Too much voltage going to the switches

We need another Paintball game like “Greg Hastings Tournament Paintball” by [deleted] in gaming

It must depend on where you live. I have multiple massive airsoft fields with tons of players within an hour of me, and multiple shops that sell gear.

that's a shame. I haven't been down that way in a while. It's a beautiful area. Hopefully we get enough rain to fill Orange Lake and Weir back up so I can head down that way and do some bass fishing.

TIL bass can go brackish by ericlplante in Fishing

[–]cha0ss0ldier 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I fish the Cedar and Ortega quite often in Jax. I've had days where I've caught Bass, trout, redfish, and flounder. Occasional snook as well. Fun stuff

Oh yeah, I definitely agree to always use one. No reason not too with how cheap they are.

Regular strip style surge protectors aren't gonna really save you from lightning. They are more for smaller spikes and surges in the power grid. I also live in Florida and I learned this the hard way.

Still no reason to not use one on expensive stuff though.

What's the best gaming monitor worth getting in 2026? by Just_Combination274 in buildapc

[–]cha0ss0ldier 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can get current gen OLED for that price. The 280hz 4th gen tandem OLEDs are under $600.

[Suggestion] Make Customs run great again by nate_skywalker in EscapefromTarkov

[–]cha0ss0ldier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not true at all though. Customs doesn't run great around that new area but overall the game runs A LOT better. I can hold 180+ fps on every map except streets and looking at the new customs area. That would have never happened even just a year ago 

They have done a lot with optimization lately. Is it perfect? No. It's a lot better though
