Your earbuds look like they're using the Mexico Movie Filter IRL ๐Ÿ˜…

Nice, I got myself the over the ear momentum 4, along with the BT dongle. Was almost ready to return it, because of shitty audio when playing music on the computer. Instead all that was necessary to do was setting the profile to audio output only. If it is set to output+input (i.e. with the microphone on) it defaults to phone call quality. Properly set it sounds very good. The only downside is that guess where they made...?

I had the same problem with all my BT headphones - the audio quality would suck and I thought that was just a thing that BT headphones do. Nope, you just have to disable the onboard mic somehow. Sounds better now, but it's kind of a bummer that I can't use the mic.

Bluetooth doesn't have a lot of bandwidth so it has to make concessions when using mic and speakers

On android they should switch between audio out only and mic + audio when in a call or using voice assistance.

Cool. I've always loved Sennheiser for their quality over hype, unlike Beats or Air pods, etc. How are they so far?

Their consumer business got bought out by a swiss hearing aid company though. Fist thing they did was stop selling spare parts.....

Not getting a penny from me if I can avoid it.

i was about to recommend beyer-dynamics but i just read that it's been sold to china a few months ago

[โ€“] Janx@piefed.social 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Oh, no. Really!? When did that happen??

[โ€“] Nighed@feddit.uk 2 points 4 days ago

2021 - annonced then at least, didn't complete until later I think.

They sell some spare parts, but no longer for my heaset. They even had the parts in stock!

Only used them for a week but so far they are amazing! I have been used to Urbanista but they always broke within a year.

Quiet time at home with my pupper and partner.

[โ€“] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Didn't get them for Christmas, as I bought them myself a few months ago, but I'm wearing an identical pair right now.

[โ€“] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 1 points 4 days ago

I'm wearing some black ones. I love the sound cancelling. And the tap on left or right being different controls.

My mum brought me a new bike. Its pretty sweet I feel like I'm 8 years old again. Loving the auckland cycleways hating how many god dam hills this city has.

[โ€“] Pulptastic@midwest.social 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I โค๏ธ hill sprints.

[โ€“] Fizz@lemmy.nz 2 points 4 days ago

My fitness has not at all translated to biking so I'm in the phase where this shit is hard. Going to work and back is a battle of life and death for me lol.

A biventricular pacemaker. Latest model, with app support and everything. Quite a surprise, really.

Dilling is the shizzle. My wife, kid and myself have their long underwear for skiing and other winter activities. The socks are also amazing.

We got a lovely tea mug and a fruity Chinese tea from our significant other <3

Underwear and socks. I unironically love socks and underwear as Gifts. I guess im just that age nowโ€ฆ

[โ€“] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I never minded it as a kid either. I didnt have to go sock shopping which i hated. Tho I usually got it from the outer family. If i got socks from nuclear family, i wouldve went insane.

[โ€“] SW42@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

I guess it was the same with me :) I always wanted Lego sets or some other toy or gadget. I did appreciate the gifts from anyone though. I. Or ally got some clothes from them and toys from my parents.

[โ€“] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 days ago

If you're an adult... You can just avoid her in the future. If you're not... Well you will be one day

That sucks, I wish you better times ahead and quality time instead.
