I use ATH M50xs with bluetooth, except bluetooth sucks in Windows even when using different dongles so I just use the optional aux cable it came with to a hyperX USB DAC. I would have to re-pair it every session and sometimes more than once. Using bluetooth with an Xbox controller made games lag like crazy whenever it wanted to display a battery warning. I don't use bluetooth on my home PC anymore because it's so shithouse.

i got a cheap little bluetooth 5.0 receiver to use with my pc (i use toslink but it also just takes any 3.5mm input). works with apt-x lossless so the sound quality is pretty good as is the latency then i connect it to the fiio btr3 and then my headphones. works great iirc it was about $20. i'd post it but the amazon link is dead

I got two dongles that were different brands and neither worked well in any use case.

it's not a dongle per se. it's a dedicated device that takes audio input, recompresses it on the fly with the requested codec, and broadcasts it over bluetooth. there's only a microusb port for power (it's kinda old though, i imagine newer ones use usb-c) ime the usb dongles have bad antennas and can pretty easily suffer from interference

Ehhhh not really. theres lots of 2.4ghz flying around but its all built to kind of run through each other and inverse cube means that signal strength is super flea powered more than a few feet away

yeah but the receiver i'm talking about is about the size of a hockey puck. it must have a similarly sized antenna because it worked very well from across a 1200 sq ft apartment e: lol stupid ipad deleted "must" Beeftweeter fucked around with this message at 23:26 on Jul 18, 2023 |

i still have a pair of sennies i bought like 12 years ago that use KLEER wireless tech which is a proprietary alternative to bluetooth for sending audio wirelessly. they work pretty flippin great. twitch gamers probably wouldn't want to rely on them but for normal stuff there's basically no lag which is impressive considering their date. the bonus is that they come with a puck that you can just plug any 3.5mm cable into so you can use them with tons of stuff

c audiophile s: Picked up a time capsule from ebay. These are not 'accurate' headphones. They can arguably be uncomfortable headphones. but  quote:Sony MDR-V700 Over-Ear DJ Headphones - Silver. these are the headphones you used in 1998 when playing your records Countered with an offer that i considered a little low and they accepted, so hell yeah.

if sony remade them with metal post holders I'd buy new ones but I will not fall prey to that nostalgia. besides I still have a working pair of 7506

i have an early 80s 2.0 setup and a 2022 7.1.2 setup. both are good for their tasks but yeah a good stereo rig is just fine. surround is nice for when i smoke a bowl or w/e but you gotta have the right room placement. i basically can't rearrange my living room ever because there's only one way that poo poo will work right

you know i just realized this, its a little strange that some weirdo didn't buy NEC's last laserdisc fab or whatever and there's probably no way to pay somebody $995 to press a custom oneoff dubplate laserdisc

many years too late, i finally got some lil baby studio monitors (kali lp-6 v2) and holy poo poo it's like listening to music again for the first time. they're plugged into a focusrite scarlett 2i2 (baby's first audio interface). all the fancypants dacs look pretty neat, but i'm a basic bitch  Silver Alicorn posted:I’ve experienced very little/no hearing loss as I’ve aged saaame, always been super diligent about earplugs at shows, etc. just did a tone generator and can still hear up to 15khz plenty fine

but srsly, as much as you can get away with. by the time your spending low-mid 3 figgies on speakers then your room acoustics start being the weak link for basically every room

my family owns a hi-fi and record store so I spent a lot of time in the presence of expensive gear that I couldn't tell the difference between after a certain point, but it did mean that I was exposed to Criterion laserdiscs at a very young age so it's impossible to know if it's bad or not Once I graduate and start making figgies again, and presumably living somewhere apart from an apartment with thin walls, I'd like to get some sort of setup going again I am in the market for a small DAC, though: I use Apple Music but my workstation in the lab runs Linux so I've been listening to more music on my phone, but I don't love wearing wireless earbuds for long stretches and I have a decent pair of open-can AKGs that I'd prefer to keep using despite their mini-stereo jack, so if any of yall have a recommendation for something that works in that space I'm all ears
