At that price, buy the Airpods Pro 3, the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro, or the AKG N5 Hybrid.

Thanks sarcastic tech nerd for not understanding the average consumer

Yeah I've got a GTX 560 sitting in my parent's PC that I still maintain for them, they function but they will eventually hit big walls with…

The AKG N5 would be one of the best by far due to the dongle, but IEM stems are a crappy place for a mic. That being said, the Galaxy Buds…

Not sad given where graphics is heading, but to others please realise that NVIDIA will no longer provide driver updates for this series in…

Wait for a more substantial upgrade unless you need increased call quality or want a PC solution.

You're comparing LDAC (up to 990 kbit, typically 660 kbit), with lossless - or at least hi-def - LC3Plus, with a peak operation likely…

The value move would then be to opt for the AKG N5. You get great audio quality via the dongle, good ANC, good mic via the dongle.

Yeah $100 is a good sale price for these, nice update from the HD450BT, but you should be seeking more from a portable headphone today.

Better tuning out of the box but needs tweaks in the mid-treble, but yes the dongle is the same, unlocking LC3 Plus connectivity. Don't…

5070 should age better for 1440p path tracing, especially with neural compression, neural radiance cache, and neural streaming methods…

Steal for a 480Hz panel, but not this, regardless of any premium features it does or doesn't have.

There is passive noise cancellation by virtue of them being closed back headphones, but no active noise cancellation. It might be enough,…

AKG by far, just remember to EQ either way.

They do not. If you want a new wired that outperforms them, try the FiiO FT1 via AliExpress deals. About $160-$180 after cashbacks.

For audio quality? Momentum 4 or AKG N9 @ $200.

> Not sure if it is a pricing mistake or a new verison is coming out It reflects the reality of their quality in the current headphone…

Should slightly outperform it after a simple couple of tweaks out of the box, plus it won't fall to pieces with path traced workloads, and…

Yes, because if the VRAM budget works for a game, 1440p30 is achievable, as is 1080p60. Neural compression will go a long way to helping…

Are you aware that RDNA3 can encode and decode AV1 video? Are you aware of motherboard prices? Once the RTX 5050 drops down below $300, my…

Either buy a Ryzen 8700G on sale (sub-$350) and progress to a better CPU and dGPU combo in time, or save up for something like an RTX 5060,…

Still a silly price for GB206 IMO, really need to see more from NVIDIA in terms of 5070 Ti mobile pricing.

Depends on the aspects of audio performance you're chasing. The more you're chasing in a total package or the more you're pushing the limit…

Fair enough, guess it's just the matte coating making it less dramatic!

I understand what the radius measurement is, and that the impact is different on a smaller monitor as it would be using less of the…

It's not a consistent 1000R, I think that's more of a peak measurement... it's barely different from flat compared to older curved…

Was meaning to refer to the 27" model at that price, but nothing current that isn't a low-quantity factory second sold via a third party.…

It's rare for a piece of technology to have the ability to normalise sexual abuse against a boy while said inventor claims women need to be…

While not a fan of or having read the franchise, I'm led to believe that there are several bathroom-related moments that are to varying…

Honestly the caveat with OLED is that it's so fast it's going to hold the image for longer, so motion compensation becomes super important…
