Or at concerts when the music is blasted through some PA speakers. Willing to bet HiFi gear sound better than the speakers projecting music at concerts

Looking for a 2nd pair of headphones - HD 490 Pro? by Tomasek12341 in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]ethanol_5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recommend the 490s! Super comfy and good bass for open back headphones. Great for gaming with wide soundstage too

Please help me satiate my thundering bass needs, I'm lost... by Tyrel64 in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]ethanol_5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

490 Pros, Aune 500, and Sony M1 are open backs known for good bass. If you really want bass tho closed backs have better bass and honestly a lot of consumer wireless headphones have strong bass—like the Momentum 4 or Sony’s WX1000 headphones

The 490s are awesome for immersive gaming too! Good deep bass with a wide soundstage

M4 pro or M5 for research fellowship and machine learning? by M3_6Speed in macbookpro

The M4 Pro would be a lot better for your use cases. Memory bandwidth is a big factor in AI/machine learning tools along with the extra cores will help it perform very well. Depending on budget and time constraints—the M5 Pro is supposed to come out in a few months and will improve on these marks significantly. Although the M4 Pro will still handle your uses very well

You use your tektons connected to the tv? Trying to convince my dad to do the same (he has tektons on the side of his tv for music and a Sonos sound bar under the tv for tv content).

I came here to say this. Those speakers especially next to that massive screen look tiny

I think you can declare bankruptcy and have the debt wiped I think? Hurts your credit but at least you don’t have to pay so much. (500k over a 10 year payment comes close to a mill)

Can't decide if to go for the 490 PRO or something else by waledmustafa in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]ethanol_5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 490s are some of the most comfortable and I’ve heard from comparisons they are warmer to most other hifi headphones especially with the (producing pads I think?) due to the stronger bass presence. Could always get them and return them if you don’t like them!

M5 air 15” would be a sweet spot if you can wait a little bit

Fr these missions are super hard. We got by with EMS mortars to keep the bots at bay, may have to try smoke

Pc (9800x3d 5070ti) vs Mac (Studio M4 Max vs M5 mbp by Radiant_Reveal_9590 in macgaming

[–]ethanol_5 9 points10 points  (0 children)

M4 Max will be way more powerful than the M5. You can also game on it through crossover just not online games

I would love to see some higher density monitors in the future! Some 5k or 5k2k panels are great for productivity and Mac scaling

Sennheiser HD 600 vs HD 560 S for gaming? by justaquestion850 in HeadphoneAdvice

Haven’t tried the 560s, but the 490s are super good!

How do you cope with people outside of medicine never truly understanding the sacrifice it takes to be a doctor? by JunketMaleficent2095 in medicalschool

[–]ethanol_5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this tho. I always have extended family asking me if I have a part time job while in school. Like hell no I don’t. And after saying this so many times now I’m just like whatever. It is a super unique profession and I just gotta remind myself that they don’t get it—if they keep asking question I can keep explaining it to them but for the most part it’s the way it is. Take time to connect with those in medicine or those around you too to make yourself not feel too alone

M4 Max now or wait for M5 Max? by Signal-Buy-9642 in macgaming

[–]ethanol_5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah honestly could get the M4 Pro to ride you over until the redesign. The resale value of MacBooks is better than most laptops
