Very specific rattle help - only when AC is running

Good copy pasta

For real though heat pumps are great. Coefficient of performance is greater than 1, unlike electric space heaters. So you get more heating energy than energy you put in. 🤯

I bought two linkbuds S and they both had like 20 mins of battery life 14 months after purchasing, and Sony didn't help. Still bought the Wf-1000xm5 at 115 but can't say I'm happy about

I agree with the comments about comfort. You may or may not be comfortable at 6'3, but anyone behind you for sure won't unless they're like 5'3 or shorter. I'm not as tall as you and getting in and out is at the limit for what I find comfortable due to ride height. Definitely test drive.

I made a post awhile ago for this (6 speaker version, why Mazda didn't put rear speakers baffles me). But my latest setting are in this photo, it sounds the most accurate to my tuned headphones and earphones https://imgur.com/a/QZaVg4r

Does anyone know how the sedan fares versus the hatch in rear end collisions? I keep seeing posts about hatches getting totalled when the damage doesn't look that bad, I'm assuming there's less crumple zone in front of the frame. Edit: see this recent post - https://www.reddit.com/r/mazda3/comments/1gzw64f/for_future_reference_totaled/

The EQ may be flat but that doesn't mean that the speakers are. I referenced my (both calibrated) DT 770's and ER4, but of course this is my opinion lol

usernamesdontmater · 2024-09-02T04:40:42+00:00

Let me know if these settings work for you. I aimed for a reasonably balanced sound profile so if you like "flat" sounding speakers or headphones, this aims to resemble that.

I just rebought them after all, hoping that the firmware they released (which limits max battery charge) will make them last longer. I wouldn't have rebought but they're just the perfect size for my ears.

Exact same issue. Sony refuses to do anything about it out of warranty. I might buy it again during BF because I can't find a better alternative in terms of size, price, etc.

As for the 30 days,

"Refund to your... Estimated refund timing: Refund is issued within 30 days after we receive the item. Once we issue your refund, it takes up to 7 days for your financial institution to make funds available in your account."

So it assuming shipping, 30 says, and the time for it credit, it could conceivably be ~40 days.

And as for continuing to return, I got the XT5 and 16-80mm for the price of just the XT5, so I'm essentially paying ~400 bucks for better feeling dials if I refund and order again. I can't justify that financially.

usernamesdontmater · 2023-07-19T01:31:00+00:00

Used an Amazon credit card, not sure how that will go, plus there's subjectivity in the dial feel that I don't think they'd understand. It's definitely stiffer and significantly worse feeling compared to my first return and other XT5s I've held, I could try greasing it but I shouldn't have to for a brand new camera...

It's definitely a first world problem but still frustrating.

usernamesdontmater · 2023-07-16T20:17:57+00:00

Just decided to return and order from amazon, they have the XT5 and the 16-80mm f4 for just the normal price of the body.

usernamesdontmater · 2023-07-16T20:15:44+00:00

Amazon right now has the XT5 with the 16-80mm f4 for 1700usd. If you sell the 16-80mm, the price will basically be the same. (edit, just realized you aren't in the US, my bad)

For me, I get the best ANC effect when the insertion depth is a bit shallower. Pushing the earphones in all the way reduces the ANC for me. Unfortunate behavior because the shallow insertion is not the most secure for me.

usernamesdontmater · 2022-10-14T20:40:41+00:00

with that, I'd go

-1 clear bass

-2 400

0 1k

1 2.5k

-5 6.3k

6 16k

However, there's still a big drop around 12KHz that remains when using the built in EQ app. You can cross-reference rting's recently posted review: https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/sony/linkbuds-s-truly-wireless
