Fantastic Foreskin posted:Y'all got any recommendations for a durable USB-C to 3.5" adapter? The apple one may sound great and be cheap, but I've gone through multiple just plugged into something that never moves, it ain't gonna make it in my pocket.  Also Apple should replace theirs if it breaks in the first year. They are pretty good about it. Those other two are solid choices though.

Coxswain Balls posted:Is there a way to find out who a set of Airpods Pro belongs to? Found them while walking and when I connected to them they didn't have a name or anything. I called Apple with the serial number but they said they weren't able to do anything with it. I'm on Android so I'd like to know if there's some Apple search function I can use before I start printing out flyers. They at least came with a colored silicone case so I can ask people to describe them to filter out people looking for a free pair of headphones. Nope. The newer ones have a find me option but beyond that there’s nothing you can do.

Dr. Fishopolis posted:jesus christ dude. ANC headphones are not hearing protection. don't end up a story in the OSHA thread. While true what about over the ear protection with some wireless IEMs? That should be perfectly adequate right?

PirateBob posted:Anyone using Dolby Atmos for Headphones (from the Windows Store) here? I’m not sure about the second question there but I bought it to use with my Xbox and I definitely noticed a difference. It also let me access the windows version and yeah I think it works pretty well. For me it was definitely worth it on the Xbox as I use my headphones a lot.

DildenAnders posted:If you don't want to do headphones + mic, I once again recommend the Sennheiser Pc38x, good microphone, sound pretty great. Only thing is, they leave a lot of excess budget so not sure if you could find a way to spend the rest of that. I’ll second these.

FuzzySlippers posted:I actually might have some very old portapros somewhere around here though I was looking for wireless so my cats stop loving with the cord. I do see they have a bluetooth version now. These also have transparency mode https://www.bestbuy.com/site/geek-s...p?skuId=6490268 For what it’s worth I’ve actually stopped using my AirPod pros at the gym because the beats fit just have a much better fit in the ear. I bought the ones from that link there and I was still able to add the $29 Apple care for headphones to them.

Dr. Fishopolis posted:try the moondrop space travel. i'm genuinely impressed with the tuning and they have gaming and transparency modes. also theyre $25 lmao Yeah these actually. My suggestion was more if you were already in the Apple ecosystem and the headphones would pull double duty. You probably dont have an OLED deck but they said they greatly reduced BT latency with the new revision. I might have to get these for my deck gaming and see how they fair.

Take the plunge! Okay! posted:Just got an email Shenzhen Audio announcing Moondrop May, a new IEM that combines a dynamic driver with an annular planar driver for treble. At 65 bucks! I wonder how that will work out, especially as someone who is still in awe of how good Arias sound after I’ve owned them for months and used them daily. When I saw them I almost ordered them but then njsykora posted:The Stellaris was apparently dogshit so Moondrop's IEM planar chops still have a lot to prove. It's also a USB-C IEM. So yeah. I might wait for some reviews before deciding. They seem legit on the surface but ya never know!

Helter Skelter posted:In terms of sound quality they compare pretty well against my much more expensive Samsung buds (2 Pro). You can definitely feel the cheap in spots, though. The case is a bit fiddly, sometimes there's not as much audio feedback on touch input as you might like, and the companion app is pretty basic and not fully localized. Yeah the touch input is kinda terrible on the space travels. I managed to activate game mode once and no mater what I do now it won’t either turn on or off. They are good for the price but the case is whack AF.

trilobite terror posted:Honestly I would try some good mass market ANC earbuds first. Much easier to deal with in a public/work setting and you can wear them out and use them when you don’t want to listen to the lovely supermarket music, etc. Fwiw you can get the beats fit for $104 https://www.ebay.com/itm/2041993428...a5769c2724d0INT I bought these and they looked new and were still eligible for Apple care for $29. I’ve been exclusively using them over my AirPods since I got them because they just fit a lot better.

HamburgerTownUSA posted:I've seen people using this style of IEM case (as well as the ones listed in the "similar sponsored items") and they look perfect This is nice but a bit pricey. njsykora posted:Go on AliExpress and search for IEM Case or IEM Pouch, you'll find dozens for like $2-3 each. I bought a pile of them a while back when it became clear I was going to have a lot of IEMs. If they're not leaving the house they don't need to be super sturdy anyway. Ok I’ll give that a shot thanks!

Sano posted:I was using a HyperX Cloud II Gaming Headset. Somewhere along the way I stopped using the mic attachment and just used a blu yeti to speak to people. I can't tell if the HyperX Cloud II was high quality in sound. But it eventually snapped off its hinges and it became annoying to wear, still works but its just annoying now. There was nothing special I liked about it, except that it was affordable and worked. It also didn't hurt to wear for long periods of times. But now I'd like proper headphones. I still have to pimp these in that price range EPOS H6Pro - Open Acoustic Gaming Headset with Mic - Lightweight Headband - Comfortable & Durable Design - Xbox Headset - PS4 Headset - PS5 Headset - PC/Windows Headset https://a.co/d/9DF6dLB Do not pay that full price because the Amazon warehouse has them for $72 and that’s a fantastic deal imo. They make closed ones as well but I prefer the open ones as I found they sounded better. Either are a fantastic headset for the $100 range.

Maudib Arakkis posted:How do the AirPod max stack against QC45? I was watching dune last night with the QC thinking I’d be blown away by some epic audio but it was pretty meh. Thinking to cop the next APM when they add USB-C. Are you on an iPad or Apple TV? Afaik there is some sound benefits to the AirPods in those cases.

qirex posted:Got a pair of Space Travels, it seems like the app currently doesn't work on iOS. Also they're really hard to take out without triggering a play/pause event. Otherwise they sound good, I'm looking forward to seeing how they do at the gym. I managed to get the game mode to turn on once and now I can’t get it to turn on or off lol. They are decent little headphones but they are super finicky.

Butterfly Valley posted:I've been using some steelseries headphones on my PC for a few years and they've been fine. Recently the pleather on the padding has started to shred, which while unsightly doesn't affect the performance. What is weird however is I've just noticed that certain frequencies are almost totally inaudible - I'm trying to create a music round for a pub quiz I'm writing, and I've discovered that the opening guitar in "Wish You Were Here" is quiet to the point of being almost undetectable. I turned them up as loud as they'd go and then nearly burst my eardrums when the second guitar comes in after a minute. Now I'm wondering how long they've been hosed. Is this a common problem with headphones or am I just unlucky? Is there anything to do to fix them or are they just hosed? What should I be looking at for replacing them in the €100 - 150 range? (I hate gamer aesthetics but I'll be using them for everything I do on my PC so listening to music, podcasts, gaming etc) Do you want something with an attached microphone?

Butterfly Valley posted:Yeah, my current pair has the microphone on a 3.5" jack which I like because then I can remove it when it's not in use. I can see that other steelseries headphones have a retractable microphone which I would also like but I'm slightly wary of the brand now. I’m a big fan of these for your price range (they can actually be found cheaper in the warehouse if it’s available to you). https://a.co/d/2MWbfpV EPOS H6Pro - Closed Acoustic Gaming Headset with Mic - Over-Ear Headset – Lightweight - Lift-to-Mute The mic actually comes off so they look like normal headphones as well. I like the open version personally but it depends on your use case.
