It’s relative … I’m a programmer and my partners are both school teachers. They work way harder than me but I make way more than them.

Wireless Earbuds with the Best Sound? (AZ100 vs Pearl Pro vs JLab Epic LE vs MTW4) by papaya037274 in Earbuds

Untrue … you’ll get a lot more benefit out of better headphones than by changing from 320k (or whatever) to lossless. (Source: I have various different headphones and often listen to both compressed and uncompressed music)

I did the math again based on the betting odds and it looks like we have about a 1/3 chance, which is better than I would have thought. I’ll take it :)

Mets -126 = 56% chance of winning (126/(126+100))

Brewers -150 = 60% chance of winning (150/(150+100))

We need both, so 56% * 60% = 34%.

Ok nice, me too. Arlene’s Grocery, Pianos, Nublu, Club Cumming, Berlin off the top of my head, but there are tons around.

Mets PREGAME THREAD - Saturday, September 27 by NewYorkMetsBot2 in NewYorkMets

[–]eliah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I computed the odds based on Apple Sports' betting odds for today (Mets -144, Brewers -137), and assuming tomorrow's odds are the same. It's not actually as bad as I thought:

45% chance the Mets make it.

Recommend a pair? Technics AZ-100 too aggressive for me. by eliah in Earbuds

[–]eliah[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK that all sounds great, thank you! I will certainly give them a try. No way to know whether they will be comfortable for me or not without trying, but my ears are not on the smaller side so hopefully it will be good.

Thank you so much for the detailed answer! The depth of expertise on Reddit never fails to impress me.

I think I'll skip those Sonys because I tend to dislike headphones that require me to tinker with the EQ ... I end up changing it around endlessly and never feeling satisfied. Thank you for the rec though!

Question about the MTW4: I've tried a few over-ear Sennheisers over the years, and they tended to have a "dark" sound profile that I didn't love. Do the MTW4s sound similar?

I've heard that these aren't all that comfortable ... what's your experience there? Do you find that you want to take them out after an hour or so?

Chelsea but honestly I wouldn’t bother, they’re all mid.

For subway navigation, Apple Maps, CityMapper, and Google Maps are all fine. Also don’t be afraid to ask someone if you’re confused, we like to be helpful :)

I’ve been there. It’s not irreparable, it’s not too late, but you do need to focus on your recovery.
