  • I love my Sennheiser HD600. They’re about $300 USD on Amazon, and they deliver some of the most natural and beautiful sound I’ve heard, especially because they are open-back.

    They may not have the sound profile everyone is looking for, but to me they sound the most “real”—nothing is over or under emphasized artificially.

    They won’t provide much rumble if you love lots of bass, but if you equalize them a tad in the lower ranges, you can somewhat fix that.

    You will definitely need an amplifier and a DAC for them, though. The FiiO E10k pairs well with it, especially with the built-in bass boost function.

    I’m loving that some small teams also manage to make products better than AAA firms in terms of performance. BattleBit has been a blast to play with 127v127 players, and it runs so well. I know the graphics aren’t as intense as other games, but that takes a backseat for me when the game has practically no performance issues and is satisfying to play.



  • It’s neat, though I still have mixed feelings about how to choose which communities to follow. There are many duplicates, and I feel like if I don’t subscribe to ALL of them, I could be missing out, but then it increases the chance that I’ll see many of the same post (e.g., for a news community).

    Content discovery is a bit more work. On Reddit, I never really subscribed to things or sought anything out in specific beyond just using All and scrolling, because it had a nice mix of everything. Here, it seems I’ll have to do a bit more work and seek out the type of content I want to see, especially if a user on my instance hasn’t already discovered something I care about.

    It’s also more work to choose an instance. Some instances might block what I want to see, so it’s possible I will need multiple accounts.

    Overall, I think with some more users and more communities, those gripes will largely go away as some communities in certain instances might become more dominant.

    I’m mostly just happy to not see ads, and to know there’s not some nefarious company running the service.
