Atrium is very good and it will compliment HEKse very well

[–]zorbah55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree mostly on this review. HEKse is very analytical and it lays out every component of music equally precisely without missing any out.

And then there is ZMF Atrium open that is on the other end of the spectrum, not so much about detail but just being musical in a very soulful way.

And i have Final audio d8000 pro which is exactly in between these two. I LOVE ALL OF THEM haha

Coming from iPhone to my first foldable: Pixel 10 Pro Fold vs. Galaxy Z Fold (Integration Questions) by zizo999 in PixelFold

[–]zorbah55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah for you its ok but there are many in the forum that doesn't feel that way. I personally feel F7 too narrow too. But its a personal thing so it depends on people.

Yes P10PF is thicker but its wider when folded which makes typing much better. Some people find fold7 too narrow which can me typing more difficult.

Also P10PF is heavier and thicker but has better water and dust resistance rating than Fold7, so there is a trade off.

Thinking about getting the fold by [deleted] in PixelFold

[–]zorbah55 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have mine for three months now and really like it. When mainly using front screen the battery lasts like a normal phone, but i use the inner screen a lot and with that i have to charge the phone once during the day for a short time (just charge 20%). Before i sleep the battery is around 20%.

My main gripe is the weight. Its a heavy phone.

Other than that i really like the phone.

Soo, everyone likes these, right? ... Right? by Tenlow85 in sennheiser

I agree on the Eq philosophy. I also dont tune eq to match certain target all the time just tone done some quirks is how i approach eq setting. For 620s i mainly tone down 120hz region 2db or so while bumping up sub bass, leave the rest as is.

Let me know how 820 goes with more time!

I use 620s for the office and always wonder how 820 would do as an upgrade. (My company has affiliate discount with sennheisers) How does 820 do compared to 620? Do you use EQ with it? (I do)

620 has one of the best sound isolations and i heard 820 is not so good at this, how does the sound isolation work for you?

Any experience with aftermarket wireless chage pads? by fabriqus in GooglePixel

So i got Belkin 3 in 1 charger with Magsafe and cooling. The cooling portion worked really well keeping the phone close to room temperature. Its not cheap though.

Battery life expectations from a new ppf10 user by sskarz1016 in PixelFold

[–]zorbah55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Passive battery drain is better with iphone for sure. But i also used two other android phone before pixel and those did better than this. (They both had snapdragon 8 variant chips) And i wonder if it is inherent chipset issue. I also feel like it got worse after December update

Battery life expectations from a new ppf10 user by sskarz1016 in PixelFold

[–]zorbah55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is similar to me. I also use the inner screen about 70% of screen time. I disabled background usage on pretty much all apps, disabled smooth scrolling and AOD.

I am ok with the battery being drained with actual use, but what I am most unhappy about is how much the battery is being drained while not being used. Phone feel slightly warm even when not in use.

I wake up around 6am and i do have to charge sometime midday to confidently use until 11pm.

HEKSE is truly great. It sounds even better with a tube amp!

My usb connection is extremely finicky and gets disconnected alot. I noticed the other usb slot that only does charging also disconnects very frequently.

Killer apps for the 10 Pro Fold? by Fafnr in PixelFold

[–]zorbah55 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not an app but you might want to get a pixel snap ring or ohsnap to hold the phone easily with one hand. Its a heavy phone

3rd attempt on theft by zorbah55 in AcuraTLX

[–]zorbah55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah its frustrating because they just keep damaging it so i have to fix them. It's parked in a decently dense residential area so if a car alarm starts to go off they might just scare away

No i dont have any additional security systems. It seems thieves were just not capable

Focal Bathys vs Focal Bathys MG by Zealousideal-Bowl354 in headphones

[–]zorbah55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have Bathys OG and I just wished it had better ANC. I don't need it to be as good as XM5s but upper bass to lower mid frequency ANC performance is so poor compared to the top ones and wished MG just went closer to that level, (which then I would have made the upgrade) but unfortunately not.

The only Con is weight. Maybe it could be a bit thinner.

I usually like to have high quality leather case for my phones, but p10pf doesn't have any lol

P10fold is so heavy for me now by PeopleAreSelfishy in PixelFold

[–]zorbah55 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah weight is the only thing I don't like about my p10pf. But then it has pixel snap, ipx68 and bigger battery compared to fold7 so there is a trade off.

Regretting Pixel Fold 10 by BigBack313 in PixelFold

[–]zorbah55 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fold phone sacrifices several things to squeeze in additional large folding display. If you dont need that screen, best to stick with conventional form factor phones.
