Bought an Audeze Maxwell off ebay because I was tired of the pain in the rear end that is bluetooth audio, could just unify my steam bigpic/pc/sim racing setup with some big rear end 90mm planars. Lets see how they hold up to my AH-D5200's and if they pulled off the wireless solution.Soul Dentist posted:Hello headphone thread! I've got a request for a very specific use case where I know what I need, but have no idea where to start looking. I work in a jewelry production facility and I'm looking for overear headphones that have noise cancellation qualities but preferably no disposable/removable batteries. Dock recharging is fine but Bluetooth is completely forbidden. This was so oddly specific i had to find if they exist and they do, Bose QuietComfort 25. It's wired and the ANC is powered by an AAA battery lol. You're not getting a dockable headset without bluetooth/wireless, i think. they do say one battery last 35 hours so just buy some cheapo rechargeable you goddamn goon. They're a few years old now so I'd just look on ebay, probably way cheaper and in line with your budget.

I had an actual mic but it died like a year ago and replaced it with a hyperx solo and frankly its hard to beat a trash 20 boom/40 solocast imo. tho maybe not for the goons who love their clackety keyboards

youd for i posted:Are there any decent Bluetooth/wireless in ear options for under $100? I’ve been using a cheap pair of QCY for a long time but the cord that connects the headphones to one another is completely frayed at this point. You missed out on the amazon sale where they had these for sale but getting good earbuds for around 100 is easy, you get the ones that get pushed out the door with phones and there's a massive openbox/like new market. Ebay search 'Google Pixel Buds Pro' or 'Sony LinkBuds S' and filter for open box. Then cross reference it with sold items of the same type if you want to bid to save money. The Linkbud S is the cheaper of the two iirc.

Wireless/bt on a comp can be a pain in the rear end, the solution ive taken to is using the usb expansion card i had in there for ages and having small usb cord extensions to physically seperate and raise up the dongles a bit to reduce the interference/provide clearer LOS. One per port. Having it go off pci power stops weird dongle boot problems i had with the maxwell. Probably partly motherboard/windows bullshit+ having like a billion usb connections taking up bandwith/power. Also with the sony bluetooth headsets you have to go download the sony app, turn off dsee, turn on prioritize stable connection to reduce that stutter on pc bluetooth. If that doesnt work you can turn on dual connections which forces it to to lower quality but more consistent codecs iirc Homeless Friend fucked around with this message at 06:44 on Aug 3, 2023 |

Zorilla posted:Prioritize stable connection is already on. I disabled DSEE pretty early on because it seemed like a current iteration of that SB Audigy meme (I can't find it now. You know which one I'm talking about--the one with the bar graph) Ah well, was just making sure, I decided to set up a PC/TV for gaming and went through the rigamarole with the LinkbudS specifically before I said gently caress it all w/r/t bluetooth sound.

wouldn't a wireless headsets dongle work exactly the same if you just add it to the usb switcher hub? not like the system cares, it'll just see the new device and switch to it if that's the usual default.

drat they pushed out adaptive mode with the ios update and this thing is badass lol. They basically rounded all the corners of bluetooth usage. Cicero posted:Good point, I hadn't thought of that. As long as the dongle works okay in terms of automatically connecting when it's "plugged into" a system when switched, and in terms of power, I could do that. I only say because my audeze maxwells work fine if i plug unplug em (which i do on the off times windows fucks up powering my insane amount of usbs)
