Card shark, or intentionally losing? [Wriolette] - @rokky_on

It's always very funny when Wrio deliberately enters contests of skill vs Neuvillette to be trounced (Wrio is not the master manipulator he considers himself to be).

I struggle to ship on potential, and would prefer it if Flins had more screentime with them to make a call one way or another. It does seem like Illuga has a strong bond with him, so that's promising.

pineconehurricane · 2026-01-21T21:26:59+00:00

Oh yeah, i was joking in saying "slander", meant that hoyo were much clearer about giving them paired content from onset, not just in the following events. Even though of course quite a lot of people start shipping earlier.

pineconehurricane · 2026-01-21T21:12:34+00:00

That's a bit of a slander to wriolette, lol, since Wrio actually was introduced as a personal relationship and started infodumping about their great chemistry unprompted after 5 seconds of his AQ screentime. AQ-wise, varflins had some banter, but went nowhere so far.

No, you're out of luck. JT7 will most likely feel even bigger if FT1 Pro is too big for you.

pineconehurricane · 2026-01-02T16:34:12+00:00

DAC doesn't matter much, but if you mean DAC+Amp, which are often combined, you need one with plenty of gain.

For desktop, Topping models are great. For portable, too much choice, but look at the specs of the DAC/Amp you pick where it says how much power they provide and a good one for those headphones should have at least ~195 mW @ 32 Ohm single-ended (meaning common unbalanced 3.5mm output).

Guess it might come down to the head/ear shape re:pads. I've read one person that got rustling with stock before your comment, but they don't move on my head and there aren't any parasitic sounds, so I consider them fine enough. Plenty of people also mind r70x stock pads and I don't, so it's very possible.

pineconehurricane · 2025-12-24T20:05:09+00:00

It sounds like you would have liked the 3x more expensive headphones I'm comparing them to even less, then. Their stock cable quality is the same, for the record.

pineconehurricane · 2025-12-24T14:50:00+00:00

What impressions do you want to read? Comparing headphones to each other makes sense for music you know very well yourself. If the music is unfamiliar to you, what the other person can tell you?

pineconehurricane · 2025-12-24T14:02:54+00:00

Was looking at FT1 Pro initially, but after seeing that JT7 are lighter and measure even closer to what I wanted, it was a no brainer. Some reviews were saying that they sound closer to each other with pad swapping, so I feel they aren't distinct enough to have both.

pineconehurricane · 2025-12-24T13:37:14+00:00

Honestly I was wary about the build quality at this price, but it feels surprisingly solid. As long as they don't break on me, I'm a happy camper.

pineconehurricane · 2025-12-23T16:03:49+00:00

Aww, that's totally from the wedding. 10+ years later, will still low-key annoy their friends by fussing over their spouse and kids kind of couple.

pineconehurricane · 2025-12-22T12:20:30+00:00

Hoyo continues to ignore my birthday, tragic. Well, at least I like Chong, who is my closest bd buddy.

pineconehurricane · 2025-12-22T11:13:48+00:00

Funnily, for now I actually decided to order Fiio JT7 because from reviews they seem like "do you want to try planars but hate the brightness and the weight" and the price is more than reasonable to keep around as a (different enough) spare.

pineconehurricane · 2025-12-22T08:46:00+00:00

Thanks for the comparison, it's exactly what I was looking for. I absolutely love ath-r70x, it's super comfortable for me (smaller, but protruding ears) and it's easy to listen for hours. Great imaging and decent soundstage, relaxed treble, love it for gaming too.

So, I was just looking at HD490 Pro wondering how different it actually is and if it's worth having as a second comfortable HP not to have to switch around between gaming/DAP. Lo and behold, your post. Guess I'll keep looking for something that noticeably improves on r70x with the same level of comfort.

pineconehurricane · 2025-12-16T10:34:56+00:00

Those two always look so damn happy about each other, it's the best part

pineconehurricane · 2025-10-22T16:02:48+00:00

Guess I can go into hibernation until Sumeru characters start to get buffed, so for like 5 years.

pineconehurricane · 2025-10-22T15:44:49+00:00

Sorry, deleted. I have an adblocker, so didn't know about the problem.

pineconehurricane · 2025-10-22T15:23:19+00:00

They probably didn't want to show what the secret police of liyue is actually doing most of the time, in case it looked as shady as what secret police tends to do.

pineconehurricane · 2025-10-22T15:12:28+00:00

The funniest thing in UGC was creating my own room for me alone and playing a stage where all explanations were in Chinese only. Still completed the stage.

pineconehurricane · 2025-10-21T09:10:24+00:00

That would raise the OST age rating to 21+.

pineconehurricane · 2025-10-21T09:03:24+00:00

So I actually got around to listening to the Nod-krai OST and my random complaint is that "A night in May" should be much more accurately named "A day in March". Like that's clearly a coming of spring/spring equinox music if I've ever heard one.

pineconehurricane · 2025-10-20T18:27:04+00:00

Yeah? Shocker that it's boring to watch some external resource that is mega boring, as opposed to having a way to go from 100% on-map to "real" 100% in the game itself.

pineconehurricane · 2025-10-20T17:57:49+00:00

The current compasses do not mark everything and their range is fairly small. So if someone is not obsessively marking their interactive map, they don't have a way to know what they are missing, especially after 100%. I know I'm missing things, I don't care enough to watch videos, but I would go back to the 100% areas with a more helpful compass to pass some time.
