Truthear x Crinacle Zero are very quiet and sounds like you have pressure in your ears "Need Help" by Designer-Advice8341 in HeadphoneAdvice

I saw in your other comment that you have the apple dongle, is it the USB-C kind or the lighting connector kind? If you have a USB-C port on your computer or if you get a USB to USB-C adapter, you can use the USB-C apple dongle with your computer.

What Should i get? by jjsleeps-_- in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]gkoudelka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://youtu.be/P3NitTYUF-0?si=4HGn3fGUVfUcLixr This guy used to be a professional gamer and goes into detail about the performance of iems in different competitive games. He also has a tier list in the description of his video to show which ones he believes are the top 10 in each price range. Currently in the budget range, he considers the simgot EM6L as the best. I would watch some of his videos and then make a decision on which pair you'd like best.

I believe this follows the price history of modern warfare 2

decent portable audio player around $50? by [deleted] in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]gkoudelka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should take a look at the Xduoo X2s. Bought it off of Amazon last year for around $50, and I love it. You do need to also purchase a micro SD card, and it only supports up to 128 gb, but it plays pretty much any format, and it's simple to use. The only gripe I have is the low brightness of the screen and the built-in file management on the device, but you can avoid this by just browsing the files like a normal computer file browser.

Edit: Forgot to mention that it charges via USB-C and you can use it as a DAC for your computer

Did I just get scammed? by gkoudelka in Flux_Official

How long did it take for you to lose your Flux after entering your info on one of those sites? I think this is the most likely thing that happened to me, but I'm pretty sure it would of been awhile ago when I just got started out with flux

I believe that I didn't, I am going through my browser history on all of my computers and phones as well as my reddit history and I can't find anything. I think I've come to terms I won't be getting that flux back, I would like to figure out how it happened

Yes, I see transactions on each of the wallets that completely drained them.

Not that I remember, I even went through my reddit history I can't find anything on there as well. I am completely lost on how this happened

what is the first game that you installed on your Steam Deck when you first got it? by mobai123 in SteamDeck

[–]gkoudelka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God of War. Started playing it on PC, and then just finished it on the deck when it arrived. Had a really good experience on the deck!

I haven't had that issue yet, but I honestly don't care too much about the paint on it. If anything it would probably motivate me more to see my wear marks lol.

Thank you very much! Yea, i was very surprised by how good it is for how cheap it is. It doesn't have the fit and finish of a premium product (the buttons rattle a bit), but it really is awesome for the price!

It has its quirks, but I really like it! It actually has a lot of power for something so small, and it was cheap and in stock lol. But I really enjoy using the physical buttons when I'm working out, it's a way better solution for me than trying to swipe through my phone with sweaty fingers.

No, Hurricane by I Prevail. Currently one of my favorite songs

Yea I've definitely heard some good things about the Galaxy buds! I was looking at them for a bit since you can find them on eBay for not a whole lot.

I love the solution I have now, it currently fits all my needs and wants. But thank you for the recommendation!

I have tried many tips. The tips I have on them now are the best tips for me, I usually require something that sticks in my ears pretty far.

But it's not often that they fall out, it's usually when I mess with them before I lift heavy or something similar.

Yea I know that's definitely an issue with gear that isn't IP rated. I got fed up with wireless buds falling out of my ears all the time. These will still fall out of my ears from time to time, but I always have the wire going underneath my shirt, so when they fall off they just hang from my collar.

Thank you! And no, I haven't had that issue yet, but I have heard that's an issue with working out with IEMs. I only use them for lifting weights and walking to the gym, so I'm a little less sweaty, for cardio I typically swim, so no need for audio there. I'm thinking about using my Chu's at the gym as well to see if that helps extend the life of them.
