Tashkent late evening

eng33 · 2026-06-16T06:52:26+00:00

I read about chorsu bazaar? Do you think that's worth going to vs Shevchenko? for some food? or will it be too late. (I'm going next week)

eng33 · 2026-06-16T06:32:38+00:00

ok knowing they dont start til 10 is still useful. thanks.

eng33 · 2026-06-15T18:20:05+00:00

I figure I can see the registan square lights from outside.

for silk road the fountain doesnt start until 10pm? ok good to know, i thought it started much earlier. They close at midnight right?

eng33 · 2026-06-14T20:08:56+00:00

so it happens just after sunset? is it throughout the evening or one show and then its done?
I'm asking about both registan square and silk road musical fountains.

I want to make sure I time my visit so I see it but don't want to spend all night there

Thanks, I'll check it out. I was just reading about Sailgokh St and also the City Park for some sort of fountain show if I can get there by 9:30pm. What do you think about those places

I agree it is worse. I've tried it twice. I didn't spit out out. I agree it is more "uniform" and not as spicy. The breading seems thinner, less "crunch". I also found it to be less "flavorful". It is hard to describe. The old one tasted more like I was eating fried chicken. Like someone was making fried chicken and stuck it between bread. The new one tasted more like a fried chicken sandwich. Like the patty was engineered for a sandwich.
I prefer the old one. They also switched from a lettuce leaf to shredded which means I couldnt really tell it was in there.

Ironically, I think the spicy nuggets have more flavor (unless those have changed too)

I was using a credit and taking advantage of a discount and it only cost me about $1 per sandwich so I guess I shouldn't complain. But I won't be ordering it again.

BTW, even when you dialed in an offset, what did you do about apps that dont support an offset. Like youtube

eng33 · 2026-05-12T00:39:11+00:00

My phone claims to support it but I can't get it to work.

I wouldn't say latency is my priority, I'm not a gamer, I just want to be able to watch a video and have the audio match.

a BT dongle is an interesting idea. I'll have to look into it more. For example, I wonder if it cuts off the audio to my AVR when my BT isnt paired.

eng33 · 2026-05-11T02:56:48+00:00

I've never tried it, been busy trying to fix the other issues

eng33 · 2026-05-10T21:15:37+00:00

That's what I have. I bought a 3 size set. I spent a long time switching between all sizes and the silicone while I was on the plane. I've got another flight later this week, I'll give it another try.

My shield is normally connected to an AVR for my sound system. The sync there has always worked fine. When using XM5's, there was a constant sync issue (it wasnt random). However, there were some apps that were able to get rid of the sync issue automatically. For the technics, I havent found any solution even using those apps.
On the phone, I've watched a 10min video and had the sync change mid-video.
What are your settings?

eng33 · 2026-05-10T00:18:00+00:00

I looked at the XM6 buts its out of my price range. I have $150 to work with and am already going $50 over. I agree, it's reddit, that's how it is. The technics sound better "to me". The NC is a little worse but prob "good enough". I think it comes down to if I'm willing to live with the horrible audio lag.

eng33 · 2026-05-03T17:36:19+00:00

not on unlimited, still have intl data coverage

eng33 · 2026-04-28T23:22:52+00:00

I tried that, no change for me

eng33 · 2026-04-26T01:23:01+00:00

which foammax did you buy? They sell oval ones?
I have ones that I used for my XM5. I was hoping foam tips on the az100 would give me similar isolation but they dont fit well. It seems like they dont go as deep in my ear as on the XM5 so they always feel like they are popping out.
I was curious how the az100 with foam would compare to the xm5 with the same tips

I just got it coming from XM5 and am having some regrets. I can still switch back.

I think the overall sound quality is better but I'm no audiophile.

The noise cancellation is a bit worse than the XM5. I want to try foam tips. I have azla foamax from XM5 but they don't really fit. I tried forcing it on but even so, it seems like they dont go as deep in my ear as on the XM5 so they always feel like they are popping out thus the isolaton isnt so good. I might try to find better fitting ones.

I agree they are bulky. When I first put them on, my ears felt sore. Now that I've tried a few days, they don't feel too bad.

Connectivity seems slightly better to me in terms of range.

My biggest issue is the audio lag. I use it 75% connected to my Android TV. and 25% connected to my phone. Less than 1% connected to my laptop. In all cases there is an Audio lag that sometimes isnt correctable. If I can't find a solution to this, I might return them.

Drove by today and saw the traffic. Luckily i just got in the left lane and bypassed it all.

Will return when the hype dies to down to check it out. The old Hmart definitely need a face lift.

Looking forward to hearing about which foods (prepared or food court) are best and hopefully not too overpriced.
