It is downmixed through wizardry into two channels.

I have like 6 different dongles without volume knobs and none of them have any noise.

I think physical knobs are mostly for iem users that want more range at low volume levels than what you can get in windows.

I agree. With the HD line I feel like I am putting a bag over my head. Or the sound is 'hot' or some such ridiculous analogy. Some people don't notice it, and others feel it is a feature not a bug.

The set design, cinematography and sound editing was so on point for me. Subtle audio cues *ding*, cuts, and close ups elevated the show. The only 2022 show that beat it in editing was The Bear imo.

I game a lot and am stuck on ATH-AD900. Audio Technica unlocked some kind of god mod treble, combined with an ultra wide soundstage on that model.

X2HR, AD2000x, and HD600 were all let downs recently but I want to try the 800s.

AD2000x, LCD-1 etc?

Why buy cheaper high impedance cans and cheap stacks to power them when you could put that $ into more expensive low impedance cans that can run off any source and sound better.

I would post a thread asking this but my account is too new.

(also no offense to OP, I'm sure your setup sound wicked)

Congrats. Hold on to something and try this one out.

I didn't compare them favourably. I referenced The Wire as a benchmark neither of them come close to.

It is very corny at times, the casting was very different to the books, some of the main actors are not great. While the overall plot is cool (Earth v Mars v Belters), what actually happens each season is fairly silly and disjointed.

An example of a much better modern SF show is For All Mankind and... that show is maybe a 7 or an 8/10 compared to The Wire or whatever TV benchmark you want to use.

Unfortunately there is not a huge amount of spaceflight SF so people lap up what content we can get.

Edit - strongly ecommend reading the series before watching, or even just the first book.

I wouldn't call it great. More like a Starz type level like Spartacus or Black Sails. Imo no, it doesn't really go anywhere.

If you can limit your expectations and put up with some bad plot and writing you can have a lot of fun with it.

It was savaged by actual Submariners back in the day but I enjoyed it as much as just about every other Tony Scott movie (a lot).

So you're now arguing that Americans should not comment about workers in Qatar?

You seem to have been triggered pretty hard by someone showing empathy lol. Why are you going into bat for a system that exploits millions of people.

And contributing to the problem by conflating border control (future immigrants) with a humanitarian problem (existing immigrants).

I follow US politics pretty closely for a foreigner and it used to be an important topic on the national agenda around the 2000s. It was raised during campaigns, debates etc. Parties had policies. International news ran stories on it.

Misrepresenting it as a southern/border states problem is the level the conversation has devolved to now. This is a group of exploited Americans that is spread nationwide and larger in number than Asians.

I believe the moral failure is simple economics/greed. Removing those workers from the US, or granting them rights and paying them properly and giving them social services, would pretty much tank the US economy. They are responsible for 15% or something of all US GDP.

There is nothing that really compares to it outside of the US and its become a shelved subject because of the economic boon from allowing it to continue unresolved.

A good example is Americans attaking Qatar about imported workers when they have as many as 25 million exploited and undocumented workers in the US. Apparently they make up like 50% of farm workers and 75% of factory workers there. And way more than 6,500 die on the job every year. Also, the US is a developed, first world country lol.

I honestly can't remember the last time a US politician, media person or podcaster talked about it. They talk about cracking down on border control sometimes. But never about outcomes for the existing population.

They have quietly recreated an undercaste class that was lost when actual slavery was banned.
