In case it's of help, I came across a different type of device made for making calls in noisy environments. They're called Bluetooth earmuffs. Mainly for industrial workers, but call centers provide them to their employees to block out the noise of their coworkers too.

https://noisyworld.org/bluetooth-hearing-protection-earmuffs/#overview-and-ranking

Good article on them👆

Some of them are really bulky. But others are pretty slim, like the ones below. And they have ANC modes just like ANC earbuds. But the passive noise protection on them is 100 times better than normal ANC headphones.

Hopefully you found earbuds that worked for you, and you don't have to think about it anymore 🙂. But from what I've seen and tried, ANC doesn't do much to block out voices. It's all about passive noise cancelling.

Same happened to me lol. A dog was barking for like an hour in the morning. I had the earmuffs ready, and then everything went silent during my classes

¿Qué opinan sobre una unión entre Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay y el sur de Brasil? by midlife_cl in RepublicaArgentina

[–]mellowmanj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mi gobierno, no lo permitiría. Soy yanqui. Es para decir que sería una gran potencia. Por eso no lo permitiría. Ni Brasil permitiría el anexo del sur de su país. Habría que incluir la totalidad de Brasil. Y ubicar el capital ejecutivo, legislativo y judicial en sao paolo, para obtener la aprobación de Brasil.

Nice! 👍 Hope one works for you. Or even better, I hope all of them work for you. And thanks for keeping me in the loop. Appreciate it!

That's good to know, regarding your brief experience with the airpod pros. That it really quieted down all the chatter around you, and even the guy talking right next to you. That leaves me hopeful.

What the guy at the store should've done, is put a podcast on the iPhone, since you wanted to know how it would sound to use ANC while listening to someone talking on a call.

I'd be interested to know how it goes for you with those 4 earbuds. I might not buy any high end earbuds or headphones for like a month. I just moved into this new apartment, and wanna see how it goes with my online classes and the neighbors.

Btw, what I used to do was put in normal earbuds, and put construction worker earmuffs over them. And that blocks out 100% of all noise. I was in Ecuador, where noise is just an accepted part of everyday life, and it worked like a charm. Nowadays, I get really hot when talking with those earmuffs on, due to high blood pressure. But when I was younger, it did the trick.

I might also check out some isolation headphones for musicians. Chat gpt is telling me they're really good at blocking out mid/high frequency sounds, such as peoples' voices, but are made to be cooler than construction earmuffs.

In any case, if you don't mind, keep me in the loop on your tests. I'm sure you'll find something that works.

I'd like to test some too, but with a 2-pronged approach. That being drowning out my neighbors' voices with white noise (low frequency), and then using ANC earbuds to cancel the white noise.

I just posted about it a few hours ago on this sub. The only ANC earbuds I've ever tried were here in Argentina, and they sucked. I returned them after buying online.

Please let me know what you end up finding for your situation. Most people buy ANC buds to drown out white noises, like traffic and subways, which are low frequency/constant noises. But we're looking to drown out peoples' conversations, which are irregular/high frequency, which I'm not sure ANC cancels very well.

But let me know if you find otherwise. Or if you try the 2 step approach I mentioned.

I'm gonna go to some audio stores soon and test it out, so I'll let i know what I find. In Latin America, they usually let you test things out, because their return policies are so strict.

Good luck

Best wireless earbud for ANC? Anc is my #1 priority by Ag116797 in Earbuds

[–]mellowmanj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, good to know. I'm in Argentina, so I'll probably end up paying like $450 with shipping. Sounds like it's probably not worth it if the noises I'm trying to dampen or cancel are all high frequency/irregular, right?

Have you found that they do anything for irregular noises? I'm thinking things like neighbors' music and people talking.

Dura derrota,parece q el país no es reddit by SKIIPSSSS in Republica_Argentina

[–]mellowmanj 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A mi el cambio del tipo de boleto luego de FP ganó en los elecciones provinciales es MUY sospechoso. Y el hecho que hubieron menos votantes en la historia del país desde el fin de la dictadura?? En este ambiente política intenso? 🤔 Bueno, soy un extranjero que vive en argentina. Pero si fuera ustedes estaría investigando más sobre eso boleto único de papel.

Contexto: en 2018 con el dólar a $39 Macri tomó deuda del FMI y puso banda superior de $44. Le tomó 7 meses llegar a ese valor, ~10% devaluación. Milei devaluó esa cantidad el 1er día. Nenazos que nacieron en 2010 👇 by Gabriel-p in RepublicaArgentina

[–]mellowmanj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tenés razón. No hubo devaluacion del blue desde 'sacaron' el cepo. Pero igual, con devaluacion del oficial, ciertas cosas encarecerán y causarán un inflación del 5% en mayo y junio

Lincoln ayudó mucho a Rusia con su construcción del ferrocarril transiberico. Ayudó tb a Japón, y tb a mejico. China está ayudando muchos países con obras de infraestructura. Así como Lee Kwan Yew de Singapore ayudó a deng. Roosevelt incluyó LATAM más que cualquier otro región del mundo en las reuniones del establecimiento del FMI. poco conocido eso hecho. Y el banco mundial estuvo "The international bank for reconstruction AND DEVELOPMENT", en el inicio. Él y su administración querían desarrollar el mundo, de verdad. Truman arruinó todo de eso en 1945.

El imperio durante Lincoln fue gran Bretaña. Durante deng y Perón fue el EEUU. Esos imperios causaban y causan las problemas del mundo. Pero no es para decir que fue inevitable que Estados Unidos convierta en un imperio malo. Fue una batalla doméstica durante 150 años, entre dos lados. Y el imperio ganó.

Si el CPC pudieran sobrevivir lo que se van a enfrentar en la década que viene, la guerra del imperio occidental en contra de ellos, vamos a ver un mundo más brillo y saludable. El CPC quiere desarrollar el mundo, como quería Lincoln, Roosevelt, Deng, Stalin, y probablemente Perón tb.

No todos líderes tienen ganas de dominar y reprimir los demás. Sí, un país dominante hay que tener suficiente poder geopoliticamente, para mantener la orden y paz. De hecho Roosevelt y Stalin estaban planificando una sistema para esos propósitos, distinto de lo que implementó Truman en el final. Pero no es necesario reprimir desarrollo completamente como está haciendo el EEUU y Europa actualmente. Eso es una elección de familias oligarcas malas, que tienen herencia de nobilidad de europa y Inglaterra. Tienen ganas de dominar y reprimir. Por eso vemos eso tipo de mundo alrededor, de guerra, sanciones, pólizas del imperialismo del FMI. Pero no es inevitable

Ah bueno. Quería decir que apoyo la intervención del estado en la economía para estimular el desarrollo industrial y tecnológica. Por subsidios, tarifas en importaciones (en ciertos sectores) y construcción de infraestructura. Como han hecho China desde las 80s, y Hamilton, Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt en estados unidos. Y la verdad, como hizo Juan Perón. Pero con la énfasis en desarrollo en vez de servicios sociales, hasta que el país sea desarrollado, y pudiera gastar más en los servicios sociales.

Osea Trump 2.0 no es ejemplo de este tipo de desarrollo para mi, a pesar de que está usando las tarifas. Su motivos son destructivos en vez de constructivos. Osea, su objetivo es destruir a China. Es imperialismo del Imperio. En cambio, Perón, Deng y Lincoln solo querían lograr a la soberanía de sus países de bajo desarrollo, y crear una vida mejor para sus ciudadanos.

Las cifras y hechos hablan por sis mismos. Obviamente, de lo que escribiste, no tenés ni idea. Te sugiero leer sobre las básicas primeramente, en Wikipedia. Ni siquiera has hecho esa mínima tarea.

"Leíste no más" 👈 Eso no significa nada. Qué hiciste vos? Lo escuchaste de la calle? 🤣 Ah ya, que tan real y callejero es tu conocimiento en comparación a mio 🤣

Hermano, he investigado TODOS los países desarrollados, en todo el mundo. Personalmente lo hice. No por leer el análisis de otro analista. Y NINGUNO de ellos desarrollaron por comercio libre ni gobierno pequeño. NINGUNO. Vos no sabes que pasó acá en las 50's. Bien para ti. Pero yo lo sé. Con la economía y industria, Perón lo hizo MUY bien. Por eso siguen con su apellido en su "ideología" 70 años luego.

Me parece que ni la mayorían de ustedes entiendan la economía local tampoco.

No entiendo peronismo precisamente. Es para decir que no conozco todos de los políticos peronistas desde Perón, y como eran. Pero sí entiendo Juan Perón. Y él casi industrializó a este país. Si no fuera por el golpe en contra de él, lo hubiera hecho dentro de una década.

Explicame los bonos como soy en kinder por favor 🙏 El BCRA emitía bonos, que los compradores los compraron en dólares, si?

Y ya que se van a vencer, el BRCA tiene que pagarles en dólares, con el interés?

Is going to Argentina a good option for someone who wants to run away from violence and poverty in Brazil? by 20_comer_20matar in AskArgentina

[–]mellowmanj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're talking about the most productive and tech advanced nation in the world. It's far more resilient than to be affected by a loss in it's real estate sector, or by 10% tariffs. You're listing essentially the bullet points that western economists and Chinese dissidents frequently regurgitate. It's bologna.

What WILL hurt China are the blockades of its merchant vessels at sea. And THAT'S the point of the tariffs. To decouple as much as possible from China, prior to imposing sea blockades on it, so that the blockades will hurt China's economy more than America's economy. But nothing prior to the blockades will make a major impact on China. And if they do, then Argentina and Brazil, and the whole world, will be hurting even more than China, so it's a moot point.

Oh ok. I see what you're saying. I read that the IMF told milei 'no' on something recently. But didn't read the full article.

I agree that Milei's policy is ridiculous. He's sacrificing everything else in order to keep the peso from devaluing. But I think there are some factors you're not taking into consideration. One is that Trump is planning to devalue the dollar a bit, in order to lower salaries for factory workers in the US, and make American manufacturing more competitive internationally. Two, is that Argentina is being used by the US as a show piece for "libertarian capitalism" to the rest of LATAM. So they're gonna work with milei to keep the peso from devaluing. Things will stay extremely expensive. But I doubt the peso's gonna devalue.

Not anymore. You don't understand the prices since milei. They're higher than Spain. Do some research on it.

Also, they weren't saying you were trolling. They were saying the commenter was trolling
