Way back in February I put down a hundred bucks for a collectible figure of Death Stranding's Sam Porter Bridges because it's one of my favorite games I've played in many many years. I'm not really a video game memorabilia kind of guy, a lot of the time it strikes me as lame and a way for the publisher to make a quick buck putting out tat of sometimes very questionable quality. However, sometimes a game resonates with me enough that I want something to stick on my shelf to remember the time I spent with it, and in such cases I'm willing to shell out some cash. Well, this morning it finally arrived, and in my opinion it was totally worth it in this case. I'm super happy with it! CJacobs posted:My Sam Nendoroid arrived!!!

At this point we’re probably 5-10 years removed from Arcteryx having a line of lower end products sold at Walmart

Accidentally bought an original Tizio lamp on ebay. More than an hour before the end of the auction I bid $1 more than the current winner without thinking too much. Surely it'll get outbid immediately or sniped a the last moment. Nope, I got it. The price is on the high end of what I wanted to pay but worse is the shipping which was like 1/3rd or the lamp and I didn't pay much attention to that. Even worster is that I paid with the credit card that I'll need to rent a car tomorrow and with the amount they'll block it will be very tight. Oh well. mobby_6kl has a new favorite as of 20:58 on Oct 5, 2020 |

It's definitely a design thing, like the Eames chair you're paying for the very specific design, heritage and bragging rights. This one is, I should clarify, is an actual piece from back in the day, not "original" in the not-fake sense. So way cheaper than the new one but... uhhh. I don't have a lamp collection, I'm currently using the lamp that was in the apartment when I moved in and it's literally falling apart at the seams. So replacing it is a safety thing, you see.

Are you going to hear a great difference out of these vs other over-ear headphones if your source is spotify, youtube, things like that? Or do you really need to download FLAC files to truly appreciate the upgrade? I've always been interested in getting a nice pair of headphones for the apartment like that but never jumped.

Oh that's nice! Are the pliers spring loaded or do they lock in place? I see something on the lower part of the plier hinge that intrigues me.

Or do you really need to download FLAC files to truly appreciate the upgrade? I've always been interested in getting a nice pair of headphones for the apartment like that but never jumped. I think the biggest difference is going from closed back Sennheiser BT4.40s to these open backed cans and that makes a huge difference to how broad the sound is, and how much clearer the high frequencies are. I also have a pair of Audio Technica ATH-AD900X I use with an O2 amp at work and I'm enjoying the sound of this combo more but I don't know if I could call it better, just different. I'd need to do a real a-b comparison with the same amp and report back. I also wouldn't have bout the BTR5 is my phone had a headphone jack, but that's just the times. Really, I think you gotta get out there and see if you can test out a pair with what you like to listen to. I think the real benefit isn't from hearing "more" of the music but how it's reproduced and if that resonates with you, and you've got the spare cash then go for it. This guy who I like reckons the the SR60s are 90% of the quality for a quarter of the price. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAevLnhaU68 Megabound has a new favorite as of 15:13 on Oct 7, 2020 |

I like the noise isolation of closed backs though, so my usual recommendation around that price range are the Sony MDR-7506 (with aftermarket pads). Can't go wrong with either, though.
