Exactly - that's where statistical analysis (like fakespot) comes in. For each chain you'd be able to look at the age, stake & historical participation level of the post-fork participants and get a pretty good idea which (if e

Well the iPhone has a touchscreen whereas this will be used with a mouse. I'm wondering what the behavior will be to run the mouse across the top of the screen?

by clolege 5y ago
Right - you have to count up with software or it will take you a while. To me, it's a hard choice that cardinal systems don't force you to make.

The handshake emoji bothers me for the same reason as the fist-bump emoji on slack - it ignores consent. What if the receiver doesn't want to shake your hand? Or what if they don't identify with the skin tone that you chose for th

Counter-example: Anker's bluetooth speakers are widely viewed to sound better than those from JBL, Sony & Bose and they have fewer years in the audio industry. There are a many technologies present in products like this that a comp

This is anecdotal and I mentioned this somewhere else in this thread, but I did a quick shootout between my Sony MDR7506 and a $80 Soundcore Motion+ bluetooth speaker and the Soundcore actually blew the 7506 away. TBF I was powering the hea

I actually compared my Sony MDR7506 with my Anker Soundcore Motion+ this morning and the Soundcore blew away the Sonys to my ear. Yes, the Soundcore is an unrepairable bluetooth speaker, but they both cost ~$80

Haha fair enough. I ran an HD 6XX with a Jotunheim for a while, but ended up preferring a pair of JBL LSR305s with an SVS sub a lot more. I think the main reasons were being able to experience the sub frequencies with my entire body (they&#

$450 endgame? What do you have?

by clolege 6y ago
Totally valid point. In most cases, I think the layman will generally find an equivalently priced speaker setup over $600 sounds better. Reasons that I can think that someone might still go with open backs are: • Portability - You can move

I've been eyeballing the AirPods Pro as well! I had a coworker who was using a pair for video conferencing, and recommended them at first - but eventually became repeatedly inconvenienced by the battery running out and having to change

Right - I gifted a pair of MDR7506s to my girlfriend the other day. I love that they include an insert telling you exactly how to take the entire headphone apart - I don't think I've owned a pair like that before. But, I broke out

by clolege 6y ago
I've never had a pair break, just had to replace the pads as they wore out after a couple of years. I don't think I've been _particularly_ careful with them, but I definitely don't toss them into my backpack or anything

Are you guessing on the 500ms? Looks like the most recent AirPods Pro can achieve 144ms [0], so I'd imagine the Max to be slightly less. Not great, but should allow phone conversations without too much fatigue. [0] https://9

The Porta Pros are still amazing headphones. Lifetime warranty, cheap, and great sound. They work perfect for exercising, if you're willing to put up with the cable

Is it possible that they might actually be able to accept an audio signal over the cable as well? It would be nice for those that have lower-latency needs.

Are there any other offerings for wireless spatial audio? That would be the main selling point for me.

by clolege 6y ago
These are quite appealing for their spatial audio support, without seeming quite as throwaway as the in-ear AirPods [0]. I wonder if they'll end up sounding like beats? [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23826070
