@0xDE57

beats by dre

I thought they’re more desirable these days (acoustics wide) now that apple bought them?

[SgtAwesomesauce]

Wait, what’s that from? Did I miss something?

[Trooper_ish]

It is from the movie Ready Player One.

The main villain corp, would put ads on everyones VR experience, if they beat the main protagonist…

That is a quote by the actor Ben Mendelsohn in the movie Ready Player One -it was also carried over from the book; it was so profound.

[SgtAwesomesauce]

Ahh, OK. Was worried for a minute.

if i am interested in say headphones for example, I will not be going with crap like beats by dre that are heavily advertised. I will do research and read reviews until i settle on something like a sennheiser or audio technia or literally anything else than beats. But also be careful not to fall into audiofool land where it’s diminishing returns and you can’t really hear the difference beyond a certain threshold, but that’s a different tangent…

Or you can take a recommendation from a Christmas gift I just got. Razer Kraken V3 PRO wireless. Not saying the Sennheiser and Audio Technica are bad; never tried them. For a gaming headset, I recommend it.

PS. Don’t install the ‘recommended’ Razer software. I find it WAY too intrusive. Works natively with Windows.

I don’t like razer and wouldn’t support them either. Never sacrifice function for “gamer aesthetic” form. Most “gamer” products are trash.

Never. I have an old razer keyboard. i havent been able to use the marcos because their garbage spyware app forces log in to cloud save your settings. as if i move my keyboard often enough to want my macros saved in the cloud…

The keyboard still works well (aside from dead macro keys) as I type this, but it is the first and last razer product i will ever purchase.
