I'd say skullcandy, anytime I got a pair of those earbuds they would last exactly 1 month before they broke

Considering you see Crypto sponsorship all over F1 has the current market crash for Crypto made any rumblings in the sport?

F1 sponsors turning out to be fake, or scams, or evil is a pretty regular thing. By now teams know to just make sure they’re not liable for anything and ask for the money up front.

My Beats Fit Pro are pretty good but honestly nothing is going to compare to wired earbuds when it comes to talking.

I'm sorry your crippling autism prevents you from listening to bluetooth audio but for me most high quality wireless noise cancelling bluetooth speakers sound as good as if not better than every wired solution I've tried so why the gently caress would I make the process of listening to music/television more expensive and tedious to satisfy some nerds on the internet lol

Having "open back" headphones is code for you live in the middle of butt gently caress nowhere with zero outside noise concerns with nothing to do but obsess over poo poo like the impact the gauge of your headphone cable has on your audio quality as opposed to just wanting to enjoy some loving jams on a Saturday night with the rest of the normal people

I bet every person who has open backs also has several pairs of BT headphones. Use case and place matter. No reason not to have both for every kind of occasion if you like.

Also where the gently caress do you live where you don’t have a quiet room in your apartment/house to use an open back. Although if you have lots of room and money, it’s probably better to get a good speaker set up.

Edit: holy poo poo motogp and f1 summer break is the worst, who do we lobby to make this illegal. At least there’s World Cup mountain bike racing this weekend and maybe the tour stages will be as exciting as stage 11.

There's a couple of pretty ok songs and a lot of weak ones, but it would have been much better received if it wasn't 1997 and if they'd chosen a different band name for the project. The fact that they have pretty much scrubbed it from history shows that they know it wasn't their best effort.

“Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums.

I think they make bluetooth headphones that can switch to wired when the battery runs out, best of both worlds, problem solved

Always makes me lol how Formula E is global racing series that gets to race in renowned cities such as Paris, Rome and New York. Except it's always a 3rd rate industrial park 30km from the city centre.

Let me assure you that the spot in red hook this weekend is, both spiritually and in terms of transport time and ease of getting there, much further than 30km away from city center.
