#open back headphones

[catastrophic-crow]

gods i love wired headphones. love having headphones with a headphone jack (and thus a replaceable cable) and no other way of playing music. love 10 foot long audio cables. love dedicated usb DACs. love headphones that are designed primarily for long-term listening comfort and don't need to have extra bulk in hinges or padding to make them more sturdy or flexible to accommodate being shoved in a bag when you're done with your commute. love high-quality audio with no perceptible delay and no fucking battery life and no extra mass from a bluetooth module and microprocessor and flashable ROM and a battery and charging circuit and onboard DAC and amp driving the speaker(s) weighing my head down.

#sincerely #wired headphones #my beloved #analog audio #i love you #open back headphones #you help sustain my will to continue living #i've got a microphone that has a built-in DAC and amp that can inject microphone audio at a configurable volume and it's delightful #it's a USB mic that can also operate over XLR with a dedicated audio interface #i love it so much #plus it sounds amazing as a mic #anyway. gosh i just love wired peripherals #sure; most of my stuff *also* can operate wirelessly or i have a wireless alternative for sake of convenience in certain situations. #but wired is king (female gender) #side note: i think it fucks severely to describe a woman as being king. not queen. not monarch. fucking *king* #realized that when i read a fanfic where it was referenced that athena was once king of the gods and i was like “oh; damn. that fucks.” #oh; right. i'll make an exception for my mouse. *that* i typically prefer wireless. #but it had *better* operate over 2.4 GHz with a dedicated dongle #mine has a 2.4 GHz dongle and *also* a bluetooth mode and it's lovely. convenience *and* competence as desired. #ily my wireless mouse <3 #works well with my NiMH rechargeables; too. not all aa/aaa devices play nicely with the 1.2V battery chemistry; but they work well here 😁 #my keyboard; also. has both wired connectivity (and charging) over usb c; and multiple bluetooth profiles. it's great #(i would be over the moon if it *also* had a 2.4 GHz dongle; but for a keyboard “wired” and “bluetooth” are the two i would prioritize) #oh; yeah. it's a 60% keyboard; too. and it has per-key RGB. gods i love this keyboard. it fucks hard. so glad i got it

today i decided to take a lil walk after my haircut and i was like "i'll just go down another block on this road" but didn't realize the block system had ENDED on that road. and then i was like "well i don't feel like turning back around, i'll just keep walking til there's a turn" but there were no turns even after over a mile of walking

so i pulled up my phone gps and saw that the two options for getting home were "turn around and walk that shitty road home" (easier but more boring) or "walk farther down this road, go into the public forest, and cut through there to get home" (more fun but more difficult)

and i ended up going with the latter

but i had then realized by the time i was entering the forest that the sun was setting. and my phone battery was getting low.

and my legs were getting tired but i couldn't stop and rest because i needed to be out of the woods before dark and i was cutting it awfully close

so like. irl horror game protagonist simulator.

#eliot posts #i undercut that fear a bit tho bc i was listening to shit on my headphones #specifically someone analyzing a will wood album #it took up a little phone battery but my phone wasn't that close to dying that listening to someth would make or break it #it's more just that the flashlight function on my phone drains battery REAL FAST #so if i was out in the woods long enough to need a flashlight i'd be FUCKED #but i got out just in time #the last leg of the journey after i got back on the roads was pretty dark tho #i think i walked like 5 miles today #on a more fun note on the way to my haircut i saw this upholstery workshop studio thing was open and looked inside #and the owner was a nice old man who talked to me for like a half hour and showed me some of his projects

No one tells you how stressful headphone shopping can be when you are NOT a guy w audio knowledge

#twist rambles #my prev headphones were like 20 bucks and generic. they worked great for like 4 years until they cracked lmao. trying to get a more comfy #pair of headphones. ive heard v good things about Sennheiser. so i look into it. there are 70 different varieties. i temporarily forget i #need easily exchangeable cords (prone to breaking them+ use them for discord calls so need a cord w a mic) and am entranced by the GORGEOUS #hd 595s. insanely gorgeous to me. i then remember oh god. ok time to see if there are things that you can easily swap to get this to work. #there are NOT. i continue looking through the pairs ive seen. i find some i like. they for some reason have proprietary cord things. i would #have to modify them to have them work. this is not good for me. my head is killig me by this point. i find some 595s that are modified for #3.5mm jack. they are 3x the price of the normal ones. so. all of that to say i am learning a lot and it is horrifying for me as a guy that #is so clueless. not even 2 mention the open vs closed back stuff. or the sound blocking stuff due to sensory issues. it is agonizing

[soapsquare]

truly a difficult choice for many programmers

I just managed to accidentally open 33 leverage clips at the same time annnd now I know what I'll do if I ever need to give myself a panic attack on purpose!! fuck that felt bad!

#meant to check the properties but hit enter instead and had to watch as they all started opening in vlc player one after the other #the voices and sound started layering on top of each other and #the more it got the more my brain started feeling like fuck this we need to RUN #idk why! it was just. lots and lots of voices #(probably mostly Eliot's voice a bunch of times tbh. maybe that made it scarier? just the same voice like 25 times with a few others mixed #in. and the sound of course.) #oof I've given myself the weirdest headache. like. it feels like the back of my head is being stabbed with something cold. lol #but yeah it took ages to get them all to close and for some reason it didn't occur to me to just take my headphones off. #personal

i may have impulse bought stuff to cosplay marina's concept art outfit......

#also bought contacts and cheap headphones #gonna have to diy something for the headphones cuz when i was researching the actual type of headphone shes wearing here #called 'open back headphones' they are like these vintage headphones people use for studio recordings #and you can guess it was hundreds and even reached to the thousands mark #but thats what cosplay is! diy :D #also wanted to gothify my pearl plush to match lol #was just gonna do octo expansion marina for an upcoming con but i think this would be cool #kinda excited but scared cuz idk if its gonna work out lol #but if it doesnt its cool cuz i needed more sports bra and sweats for the gym! #jenivi cosplay #jenivi rant #my post #[organizing tags😅:] #marina #splatoon #off the hook

I can’t find my phone. The only place left to look is in the dishwasher that just finished running. Wish me luck.

#adhd #itme #true story #also I turned on my headphones to see if it could connect to my phone and IT DID but after an unusually long delay and #the dishwasher had just begun to cycle #so needless to say I'm concerned #the dishwasher is now done and also now I can't find my headphones so at least I can definitively state they are NOT in the dishwasher #but I can't say that for the phone #but also WHERE TF ARE MY HEADPHONES NOW #this is why people believed in house fae back in the day #if you told me I was being robbed by magical tricksters I would believe you #but alas I am only being robbed by my own brain #I'm writing tags to avoid opening up the dishwasher #so scared you guys

how do people go to the library to be productive when it's so uncomfortable in there

#chairs suck can't bounce on a bouncy ball can't listen to music out loud so have to use headphones until your ears bleed can't open a #window to let in fresh air can't have a snack there are people sitting left right front and back someone's deodorant smells bad get #distracted bc I want to see what the other students are studying I'm TIRED can't talk to myself can't hum zk the song I'm listening can't #scream etc etc how am I supposed to get anything done in these conditions

[serkonans]

#first i went to the pharmacy to get my prescription for a continuous glucose monitor bc online ofc said they were open #and theyre not. bc of labor day. so i'm out $13 for the ride here and wasted part of my day off #but i needed tissue paper for a gift and i got some coffee to try and justify it and i brought my headphones so i could walk home #but my headphones are refusing to pair wirh my phone suddenly and i hate walking without music #so now i'm going to be out another $13 to get back like. lmfao hello. to say nothing of the fact that i'm going to have to do this again #so i can go pick it up a different day...

Love it when I have to restart my computer because steam won’t open and now my high quality headphones start sounding like cheap earbuds and nothing I do fixes the problem

#molly rants #this has been ongoing for hours btw #i've had this issue in the past #way back when i first got this laptop in early 2020 #but this happened after updates and all i had to do was restart #now it just?? happened?? and no matter what i do nothing is working #its definitely my laptop to #my headphones sound normal on my phone #and the laptop's speakers are fine #and yes my headphones were already plugged in when i did the restart #so i don't think its the audio port #i have a few possible guesses but i'm waiting for my cousin to get back to me #i don't want to do anything without his expertise #but something happened on his end so idk how long it'll take before he comes back #its been quite frustrating and stressful #all because steam wouldn't open

[auspicious-voice]

I forgot to say this but I got a new pair of headphones recently (Sennheiser HD 350BT) so when I listen to my old covers I just want to cry and bash my head into a wall

#ramble #let's be honest here i used to mix covers with beats headphones and cheap sony headphones and that was a bad idea #the quality of these new cans are so good #hoping in the future that i can save up for a decent pair of open back headphones

[softbutchzenyatta]

recently “splurged” on a pair of really decent budget headphones and it has opened my eyes to how shitty the audio was i previously was hearing on my old earbuds

#theyre proper over the ear ones but theyre 'open back' that dont completely cover your ear and let sound escape #so they havent been hurting my ears like other over-ear headphones have in the past #i got them so i could make/mix music better and more accurately but i dont want to use anything else even when im not doing that now

[trollbreak]

Agh *pops on shuffle and immediately hits delren’s song*

#thinks abt my silly lil glowy dude sat in his chair working on a computer listening to some tunes with the cheapest headphones he found that #would still work. thinks abt the only light being the lamp he’s working by and the glow his hair takes on in the dark and the gentle shine #in his eyes from the same dimness. thinks abt him hearing the door opening and rushing to tie his hair back and throw on a wig and his horns
