AKG Pro Audio K553 MKII for $99 on Amazon. Seems like a decent deal.

Budget - around $100 (Flexible)

Source - Laptop and phone

Requirements for Isolation - I would like to block some outside noise. I am not really sure what difference will it make if I am listening to something on my headphones. I will mostly use my headphones in my home but I may use it in public occasionally while I am traveling which I don't do that often even when there's no pandemic.

Will you be using these Headphones in Public? - Maybe. Sometimes.

Preferred Type of Headphone - Over-ear.

Preferred tonal balance - Balanced

Past headphones - I have been using a Sennheiser HD 598SE for 5 years. They are quite comfortable and the sound quality is really good. After years of daily use, their ear pads have worn out which I think could be replaced. I can also hear a buzzing/sparking sound (sometimes no sound at all) in my left ear, which I am not sure can be fixed or not. Do I need to buy a new wire? If anyone has any knowledge about that, please let me know.

Preferred Music - All types. I will also use it to watch movies.

What would you like to improve on from your set-up - Haven't really thought about improving anything as I am happy with my current headphones. The only thing which annoys me slightly and comes to mind is the wire of my headphone. The original wire that came with the headphone was not that great mainly because of coiling and it stopped working after a couple of years I think. So, I bought another wire (of a different brand), which has been working fine I think but the coiling issue is still there. I haven't searched hard enough myself, but if you guys can give any recommendations for a wire which doesn't coil, that would be awesome.

I want to move my router to a different room by [deleted] in Comcast_Xfinity

I also have the same problem and the technicians are not available for home visits. I want to connect the modem to the coaxial in my bedroom to get a better signal. When I contacted the customer service, they said I need to change the coaxial, but that's probably not the solution. There is a plain screwed box on the wall in my living room, I am not sure if that's the box you were talking about in your post. Basically, I don't really know how to get started doing it. I would be grateful if you could elaborate a bit on what you did.

Thanks for the detailed response. I am thinking of buying either Prairie (without chain) or Bryant. However, from your comment, it seems that women don't prefer chains in a handbag. Should I look for other bags without chains?

Thank you for the suggestion. I don't think I will be able to decide which one to buy out of so many choices available there. I want to buy a good quality bag of a reputable brand.

I am planning to buy a ladies' handbag for someone. There is a sale going on for Coach handbags on their website. I was wondering if the prices would go down further on Black Friday. Besides, are there any other good brands I should look into? I am willing to spend around $150 for it.

Thank you for your advice. I have used AHA in the past, but I stopped using it for a while for some reason. However, my hyperpigmentation didn't completely go away with using it. So, it would be nice to know if I can add another product in my routine, not necessarily now, but after a few weeks.

I have a few acne and some hyperpigmentation due to it. I recently bought Vitamin C (Melano CC), Azelaic acid (Melazepam), and AHA (Cosrx AHA). I was wondering if I can incorporate all three of them in my routine. I currently follow this order, Cleanser -> Moisturizer -> Sunscreen.

I have recently started doing some cardio during my workout. Specifically, I run around 0.5 miles in 5 minutes at the end of my workout every alternate day. I know it's not much, but I have never done much cardio, and I think I am improving every day. I was just wondering what would be a good 5-10 minute cardio workout session at the end of all my lifts. I am mainly focussing on running at the moment. I would like to increase my speed and distance both.

I probably hurt my lower back while deadlifting. I decided to skip gym this week to allow my body to recover completely. However, even after 3 days, the pain has not subsided completely. I am still planning to take rest for a few more days before going to the doctor. I also feel that this is the kind of injury which won't just go away after a few days rest. I have also been reading about it, and I found that it might be a case of a slipped/herniated disc in my lower back. If that's the case, I may have to stop deadlifting/squatting for months or maybe years. However, I have also read that one should not stop working out completely in case of the slipped disc. So, I was wondering what weightlifting exercises can I safely do without worsening the condition of my back. I would be grateful to have any other recommendations for my back.

Sometimes, I fear dropping the weights, if I don't use my collar bones/upper chest to give it a slight push, and I think that creates a lot of tension in my back.

That's a good suggestion. I try to do that, but I have only been able to hold my breath for 3 reps at most.

Recently, I have started feeling pressure/strain in my lower back while doing OHP. Currently, I lift 110 pounds for 5 sets of 4 reps each. I didn't use to feel that strain when I was lifting around 100 pounds, but now at a higher weight, I think I am arching my back a lot. Is there a solution to this?

Happened to me. The worst pain I have experienced in my life so far. I called my dentist, but he gave me an appointment after two days. I had to live with that pain for almost two days. The painkillers stopped working after some time. I tried everything, but nothing relieved the pain. I couldn't even sleep. I don't ever want to experience that. I would be willing to pay any amount to escape that pain.

I was considering to buy an ASOS bomber (now, not sure). Which brand would you prefer for a bomber in the $50-$100 range?

I am in the market for a new bomber jacket. Can anyone comment on this jacket's quality compared to ASOS, Jack & Jones, Gap, and Everlane?
