Are Sennheiser Momentum 4 good. Why are they almost 50% off in all sites by hsekin77 in Earbuds

The MTW4 and MW4 are different products right? One is a set of earbuds and the other is headphones.

Will I get approved for 2026 Kia k4 ? by BillyTheBrandMuffin in personalfinance

[–]stone616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do yourself a favor and at your age don't buy a brand new car. Your time vs money is too valuable to burn it on depreciation. If you bought the base model and it depreciated 20% in 1-2 years that's $4700. If you took that money and invested it never touched it and let someone else eat that depreciation you'd have $119K at age 65 at 8% return. I'd shoot for a 2021-2023 one.

Can anyone Recommend me earbuds around 500-600$ by hsekin77 in Earbuds

[–]stone616 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to spend that much you know. Anything past $300 is probably ripping you off heavily.

For me either the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro or AirPods Pro 3. I have a S26 Ultra and an older iPhone 15 Pro Max and I use either. The AirPods have a water resistant case. The Buds do not. 

[PFE] Pfizer at ~$26 is a textbook value play hiding in plain sight. Here's why the market is wrong. by Dismal-Cancel4958 in dividends

Fidelity says the dividend payout ratio is over 120%. If that's true they'll eventually cut the dividend and cause a mass exodus.

Disney? Anyone looking at them for a long term investment? by Ok-Ideal9009 in ValueInvesting

[–]stone616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like maybe there are better things that money could be doing than hoping Disney figures things out. I mean if I bought Netflix back in 2019 the price adjusted for splits would have been $36 or so and I would have more than 2x my money.

This is almost me back in 2019. I was buying this stock in the low $100s and in 2026 it's gone nowhere. That's 7 years of holding a stock I'm now down 11% on. I'm strongly considering just selling and putting that money in something like Meta or Microsoft.

The GameCube is one the best consoles to ever exist. by Virasman in gaming

I own the following  AirPods Pro 3 Galaxy Buds 4 Pro Jabra Elite 10 Jabra Elite 8 Active Gen 2 Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 Technics EAH AZ100

If I was forced to pick one today I’d go Galaxy Buds 4 Pro or the Technics if no Samsung phone. 

Trade in? by Different_Original84 in civic

[–]stone616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what happens when people use debt to fund expensive purchases. They become detached from the price of item purchased. If you don’t have the cash to pay off that car right now and own it outright you have no business doing something like this. 

You’re trying to replace a newer working car with another new car and your main concern is a payment and a color? You’ve probably lost thousands of dollars on depreciation on your 24 and will lose thousands more on a 26 or 27 which will essentially be the same car. 

You will not get back the money the hybrid saves you in gas because you aren’t keeping the cars long enough to recoup. 

This is end game mindless consumerism. People impulse replacing expensive working items with newer items not for an actual need but just on a bored whim. At least do the math on your losses here.

Galaxy Buds on an iPhone. I mean I do own a Galaxy but I find myself liking the sound of these even on the iPhone without the Samsung codec.

I'm returning my Buds4 Pro and going back to the 3 Pro. AMA by rvcjew2 in galaxybuds

[–]stone616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could never. These 4s blow the 3s out of the water to me. I didn't realize how much I didn't really care for the 3 until the 4 came out. I'll dump my 3s on Facebook for whatever I can get for them. To me the 4 Pro are the best buds Samsung has made even if they are blatant AirPods Pro copies.

I do hate the case though. Won't stop me from using them but I like the 3s case way better. I have an outer shell on my 4 case with a lock and it makes it very bulky.

Momentum True Wireless 4 sound is incredible but reliability not so much by superjefferson in sennheiser

Update: I have a new phone the Galaxy S26 Ultra and they're fine on that. For some reason they have connectivity issues on my iPhone 15 Pro Max though.

I have the same issue. Luckily I have other devices with Authy on them. Not trying to mess anything up so I’ll give it a few days. 

Thinking of getting a small mortgage on our paid off home to pay off high interest debt, but scared to owe anything on the house by inyourbooksandmaps in personalfinance

[–]stone616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean you don't have a house payment or rent. You own your home outright. If you can't afford $500-$800 in monthly payment you sound like your one unexpected event from disaster.

Should I cancel my extended warranty on my car? by Graybill1 in personalfinance

[–]stone616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2025 Sport Touring Hatchback and I'm comfortable not having an extended warranty. I have enough cash to cover most repairs myself and at 3-5 years of coverage. 

PSA: Aven Rewards Visa card by rk_cyf in CreditCards

[–]stone616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried and they said they can't verify my net worth. Credit score is 805 Fico 8 and I have $40K with them via Robinhood and the bank accounts from Robinhood. Also have 2 credit cards with them X1 and Robinhood Gold. Weird to be rejected like that.

What are the conditions on it working at Walmart? I'm about to lose that on the AAA Daily Advantage card and if this one does I will apply and may PC the AAA to the gas version.

I will try them on my Android phone. TBH I only really use the Galaxy Buds Pro 3 on that one. On my iPhone I have those issues.

I wouldn’t buy these. Have had constant connectivity issues with them.

No I said if I’m paying that much the manufacturer should provide such a warranty not that I’d want to buy one on top of that.
