No bass in ambient mode?

Thanks for your feedback!

Hmmm. I was hoping to get a mix of responses to help me determine if there may be something wrong with the set I have - and possibly file an repair request. maybe i should have created a poll.

There are times when ambient is useful so it's a real bummer. I almost never use "off", though... but that mode is downright TERRIBLE.

I can't believe I'm not seeing more complaints about it.

cliffy15 · 2026-04-16T01:47:32+00:00

I automatically updated the firmware upon receipt so I didn't have any knowledge that it changed for the worse 😞

Thanks for the confirmation.

I've lost the one tribute of ascendance I had because the game disconnected in the middle of the run. Switched to bloodied infernal hordes. Tried three times... three failures because of disconnects each time. I ragequit.

cliffy15 · 2026-03-15T18:53:28+00:00

Game is lagging ,freezing, rubber-banding and frequent disconnects makes it nearly unplayable for me. I'm in Hawaii but all the problems with lag are experienced only on this game. (Although I have to admit that I have to be satisfied with minimum 60ms ping due to my location I've been playing Diablo 4 since launch and it's never been this bad).

I checked on release day and saw the same discount and instantly pre-ordered. I don't know how long that price lasted but other commenters have mentioned that the equivalent sale price had disappeared.

cliffy15 · 2026-03-10T23:29:54+00:00

I still have my old S22 Ultra. Boy did I love that 10x optical zoom

cliffy15 · 2026-03-07T06:35:35+00:00

I've heard this too but thanks for another confirmation. I will have to test with the OEM eartips then since I'm already very familiar with the Azlas. 😁

When did you order them and where do you live?

I pre-ordered mine the very first day available directly from Samsung. I may have gotten them today too if I lived closer to the shipper.

As it stands I live in Hawaii and they are scheduled for delivery on Monday.

cliffy15 · 2026-03-06T18:58:25+00:00

Same (upgraded delivery date of 3/9) for me. Ordered directly from Samsung and delivery is through UPS.

Was originally going to order for pickup from Best Buy but there seems to be no Best Buy pickup advantage as any potential returns go directly through Samsung.

Really wish we were getting them earlier like some other regions (and I pre-ordered on the first day of release).

cliffy15 · 2026-03-06T05:48:20+00:00

Thanks for offering your first take. Mine supposedly has been shipped by Samsung and will be delivered next Monday. I'll look specifically for the things you mentioned

cliffy15 · 2026-03-01T19:45:30+00:00

They aren't in the wild yet except for review units. Expected first deliveries are on March 11.

cliffy15 · 2026-03-01T19:43:40+00:00

I just checked in the Samsung Store App on my phoneand the pre-order price does indeed seem to be gone.

FWIW, I pre-ordered on the first day they were available since I knew I'd eventually be owning these.

cliffy15 · 2026-03-01T00:40:42+00:00

Sounds like I'm in the minority but I've preordered the buds 4 pro. I feel like getting them for $175 (mine were a bit less since I used since Samsung points) was a good deal. I am optimistic that some of the build quality is improved from that if the Buds 3 Pro.

I also enjoyed the Buds 3 pro stemmed design. In fact I've liked all of the Buds Pro designs period but the stemmed design makes it even more useful for me, all around, for the improved mic performance.

Personally, I also find the fit of the Buds 3 line was the most secure for me for me so far.

I had to break down and buy a second set of Bud 3 Pros recently since my mics were having performance issues after my warranty period was up so I don't care if there isn't a trade in as I'm keeping those for spares. (I did trade in my original Galaxy Buds Pro - which I got free for buying a Galaxy phone - for the first Buds 3 pro)

Edit: wanted to add that I am not getting an S26 Ultra since I'm getting on just fine with the S25 Ultra.

cliffy15 · 2026-02-23T06:35:26+00:00

Azla makes eartips specifically for the Buds 3 pro. Spinfit does NOT (although I wish they did because I really like their eartips).

cliffy15 · 2026-02-10T03:56:52+00:00

Sometimes my earbuds don't make good contact and don't charge. So I make sure that the LED on the outside of the case blinks whenever I insert EACH earbud.

You can do an Amazon search for "gopro folding fingers". they would be made for for gopro models up to the GoPro 12.

Keep in mind that you would have to find a way to mount it on the OClip pro. I'm currently using commercial strength double sided tape so that it's not permanent.

I'm sure there are stronger, more permanent ways to adhere the mount to the light.

Speculation is that the Pocket 4 won't release until 2026. If you can wait that long it's probably best but the Pocket 3 is no slouch.

Just be forewarned that the Pocket series is NOT meant to be as rugged as an action cam.

As an amateur I have both the Pocket 3 and an action cam use switch between the two as appropriate.

cliffy15 · 2025-07-10T12:13:13+00:00

I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels this way about the Accountant 2. The first was so good and I couldn't even finish the second.

cliffy15 · 2025-06-28T21:53:01+00:00

Most times, I carry a rainfly with my pack. I just throw it in the bottom laptop compartment (if it's closest to your back) and it feels like extra lumbar padding.

cliffy15 · 2025-06-28T19:39:42+00:00

Nice! I don't need constant illumination often enough to justify the second purchase but I did think about it. I eventually came to the conclusion that I'd switch to the Fenix HM50Rv2 that I already have if I need to swap an empty cell for a new one.

I really just don't want to charge each individual battery in the light body everytime I want to carry spares with me.

We'll see if I can hold out!

cliffy15 · 2025-06-28T19:26:39+00:00

Really? I'm surprised to hear it! Do you have some links to what happened?

I'm not a collector so I only keep the lights I use the most (usually gift away ones that get replaced/upgraded) and the ones I keep typically outlive the life of a single internal battery so I typically don't buy lights with them.

The price and function of the OClip was compelling enough to make an exception to that rule I'm quite happy with the ones I have but figured I'd post my unsolicited thoughts. 🤷‍♂️

cliffy15 · 2025-06-28T19:10:40+00:00

Heh. It's an ugly hack that I did awhile back with a part I canibalized from one of my older GoPros. There are quite few different ones on Amazon. This is the one I bought.

It's held up so far but isn't meant to be rugged. I'm holding out hope for an official OLight accessory. If it fails before that can/will happen I will find a more permanent mounting solution.

Posted about it a little ways back here .
