I'm sorry you feel that way.

FeelingsAreNotFact t1_it27ncy wrote

That makes little sense.

I do not "feel this way" about it. I was a teenager in the 1980's in Southern Cali.

This is totally a term from the 80's.

White Knighting?

No, I honestly believe you have never felt the touch of a woman. Your response here tells me I am right.

You really haven't felt the touch of a woman. And at this rate, I suspect that will not change.

Time to realize you are the problem, not everyone else.

Have you ever used AirPod max? The best headphones on the market together with sony XM5

AtlasCarry87 t1_it3922d wrote

I actually have, thank you for asking!

They are far far away from being the best.

What they have is one of the best ANC systems in place and that they are wireless, otherwise they are overpriced and there are much better alternatives in the market.

lollery123 t1_it2gurw wrote

They are actually damn good headphones even for audiophiles at their listed price. Not everything apple makes is overpriced trash

1

AtlasCarry87 t1_it39hhz wrote

Lets agree to disagree here? I had them for three months (though i had a first batch as a test listener for another audio company) and they really didnt move me in any way.

Being an audiophile, i cannot recommend them at all but as it is always with sound, its very subjective to each and every person and highly dependent on the environment and music/videos/podcasts whatever you are into one listens to.

I will admit that their ANC is incredible.

What's with '76?

13

TrustFulParanoid t1_it2tzj5 wrote

As someone else mentioned, the set is called 1976, to expand on this, it was called like that because it was inspired by a 1976 olympics poster or something like that if I recall correctly, it had the same font as the 1976 on the deskmat and the same colors as the set. IMHO one of the most beautiful SA sets, too bad is not in stock anywhere...

maxigus_mcfly t1_it1cd1h wrote

It seems like they do super limited runs of it, I put myself on the stock notification list for a numpad kit I did a while back and it took about 8 months. Very worth the wait, in my opinion.

Gtantha t1_it1sg32 wrote

If you want noise cancelling, Sony WH-1000XM5 (I think) or Bose QC. If you want wireless without noise cancelling, don't. If you are okay with wires I can list more.

WFHCustoms t1_it2gipb wrote

Also, the WH-1000XM4 are discounted now that the XM5 are out, and they are phenomenal.

TheDeadWriter t1_it1553d wrote

That is a solid representation that evokes the mid 70s. Seriously awesome. The light blue/cyan makes it modern, at least for me, and all the better than choosing light beige, or some shade of avacodo. (We just moved into a place built in the early 70s with a giant avocado tub and built in counters in yellow linoleum and a bar with brown laminate counters.

borghesia44 t1_it1ij56 wrote

Agreed that is what I was thinking as well, the mint greenish isn't '76.
The popularity of that color came later.

That said, this setup is great and it must be fun to work on.

nethermead t1_it10y2v wrote

She's correct. That keyboard is groovy. There is no "dope" or "fresh", only groovy.

A nice box of Screaming Yellow Zonkers and you can really get your freak on.

Headphones are the best in the market together with the XM5s. Did you ever use them yourself or are you just repeating what Apple haters are saying?

I refuse to try them. It doesn't matter how "good they sound" if the product as a whole is a ripoff. And I don't like closed back or wireless headphones in the first place

Your daughter is wrong. It’s more fresh than dope for me, but I love that styling! The AirPods Max seems out of place, but hey, good for you on owning those. I’d never get a pair of them in my lifetime as I already have better headphones.

Rheytos t1_it2r72j wrote

What is possible better in your opinions? But hey taste is subjective

nick2527 t1_it2s55t wrote

I’ve listened to the AirPods Max. I did enjoy them, but I couldn’t get over the fact that it is Bluetooth only. Plus, a few song samples felt a bit off to me. I have sennheiser hd660s being pushed via a balanced cable through a Fiio amp. I would like to get a few more, but it’s a very expensive thing to own one good pair alone. I’ve found the bass more mellow on it, and there’s some sounds on my headset that the AirPods could never match. This is my opinion though. I wouldn’t have it if I didn’t try out the AirPods, but since I have, I have found mine to be better for me.

2

Rheytos t1_it2sjsk wrote

Well that is fair. Although it’s not Bluetooth only. I use my pair with a special cable. I do have to say that it is ridiculous that you need a specific digital-analog cable if you want it to work which of course costs 40 bucks. Apple…. But I’ve tried a lot of different headsets including the XM5s although in the end o felt like the Apple soo used better to me

1

nick2527 t1_it355gj wrote

Ya, apple… they really are harsh with that stuff. By XM5’s, you mean the Sony ANC headphones right? I have a pair of XM3 or 4’s can’t remember (I use them for flights and such). I love them, but lots of bass. Once I swapped to the 660s the open back feeling has grown on me and now closed backs feel off. I do have a set of regular AirPods for short travel and purely convenience. Can’t bring my open backs everywhere I go, those just stay at the desk.
