What did you buy today? (Part 1)

Why not Blue or Champagner color?

I liked the blue and did not at all care for the champagne color at all. I was obsessing over blue or red for about a day and just finally decided the red was what I wanted to go with.

Beyer T1.2s. Needed an upgrade from the steadfast 990s. Will have in hand tomorrow hopefully.

When everything is black, such an inconspicuous champagne comes into its own a bit more, because you are usually inclined to go there, the same applies to red.
Blue might have made it look a bit childish.
So I think you did yourself a better favour with red, even if red is more of a signal colour.
If you have children who should not go there, you can say as soon as you see this red, please keep at least 1 metre away.:grin::innocent:
Have fun with the Gs X, hope it’s worth it.:+1::v:

Now’s your time to balance those 990s

Yea, went Cans -> IEMs -> Speakers. Now I’ve downsized the IEMs to the Final B3s and the Flamenco if no one ever buys it lol. Still waiting on someone to buy the Haydns, and the Cionnsailes continue to be the favorite speaker I’ve yet heard. Love the 990s (only cans I kept) and wanted an upgrade. Also, using IEMs too often fucks with my earholes so I end up using speakers, cans, and IEMs an equal amount of the time. The cans are the weak point so I wanted to grab an upgrade to put em on par with the rest of my gear.

Also, the higher end Beyers have always seemed interesting. Figured I might as well send it and try em out.

well…I just bought the Gb B550M Aorus Pro-P. how could I not at $170 vs the $220+ for the Asrock / MSI / Asus models?

CC has the slowest ground shipping lead times I’ve ever seen though. hopefully it’s a lot faster than what they state…

Got some hart audio cables in today, love how well they flow!

Haha gotcha gotcha. That’s quite interesting, fair enough. I also can’t have IEMs so far on for as much time as headphones so I can see how that’s an issue. And speakers are bae. I wonder how u will like those beyers. Sadly I’ve only tried lower end beyers

Fair. Just not to my personal taste is all. No children but hopefully one day. Have to turn them in little audiophiles :wink:

try posting it on headfi?

Well… Stuff finally came in. And I couldn’t say part of my excitement isn’t from doing the installation entirely by myself.




Biggest complaint, even over Amazon’s compatibility filter being WRONG about which headlights worked with my truck, is the remote for the stereo i had to order separate(as it doesn’t come with the stereo) and won’t work. Yes, I removed the plastic bit that keeps the battery from making a complete circuit, and checked to be certain it was installed correctly.

These were on sale on Amazon and seem to have a pretty good rep so I decided to finally try out a pair of true wireless. I will mainly be using them for phonecalls and meetings. I’ve been waiting until true wireless tech had aged a little bit so the cheap options wouldn’t suck. We will see how these do.

afaik stuff by Anker or Taotronics are pretty decent. As in “sound is on par with Earpods or Airpods” decent. My mom has some $40 Taotronics TWS and while the sound is not very detailed, tuning is pretty alright. Also, build quality is quite good.

Got a headband and some new pads for the Grados. Unfortunately I won’t have the actual headphone until Saturday :frowning:.

I think I have my low budget end game pretty much complete at that point though, very excited.
