Do you know how much cost is involved in developing a peace of software?

Get what you need > a lot of time and good view of the company is needed.

Then either get a company to do it > expensive + no control on the software.

Or/

Make it yourself > extremely expensive + control on the software.

Get the right people > hiring campaign > expensive

Then these hired people represent more people to pay each month > expensive.

If there aren't right people, you need to teach the devs how to work on it > expensive formations and it's done on the working time, so double expensive.

Then time invested in creating the Linux distro adapted to the company > time, testing, mistakes, redo, undo... expensive.

(let's not forget about taxes and obligations towards the new workers).

It works mostly for the technical side.

For the sound, preferences and personal comfort, it's a bit hard to get precise. The graphs can help a bit, but it's also hard to understand them, even more when they don't look the same between reviewers.

Wtf are you talking about. Linux isn't a distro.

And the example isn't a "only noobs use it".

It's an example of an exploit existing since many years. And which could have appeared in a random package, while staying invisible.

On Linux -> https://arstechnica.com/security/2023/09/password-stealing-linux-malware-served-for-3-years-and-no-one-noticed/

(not a virus directly from a package manager or distro tho).

However nothing prevents someone from hosting malware on github, or fake "safe" distros.

There can also be a slip and people not seeing a project turned into malware.

It can be more than a fine.

They could be forced to sell parts of Google, to stop paying browsers, or whatever the court decides. However if the court decides in favor of the antitrust, then it will also put in place a precedent which will impact the other companies too.

This reviews https://youtu.be/j-xLIQLMWV4?si=bbG1AeMEMCNq61GD says it's pretty easy to drive them with anything.

Not sure about amps, and they are expensive headphones, so not that interested in more reviews.

That is not true at all.

Epos "still" has great mics on the h6 pro.

Corsair has very good mics on the premium headset (virtuoso), and the wired hs80.

Razer also has a very good mic on the blackshark v2 pro 2023 (not the old one).

Hyperx has a very good mic on their wired cloud 3.

Drop x Sennheiser has a good mic on the pc38x.

Beyerdynamic has a very good mic on their mx300 gen2

Audio Technica has be best ever mic on a headset currently on the m50xsts (or other with the same mic, not sure if they have other similar ones).

And all of these mic sound better than what modmic has currently not discontinued.

Sure with the budget, space, and maybe even enough noise isolation or when you can get open headphones...

But how much would a good enough studio headphone cost? Because from what I understand from studio headphones it's perfectly calibrated headphones?

Now image your someone without the proper budget to get 1k$ headphones, and no space for open sound. what would you buy?

Maybe beyerdynamic? But for me the clamp force is too high.

Akg? They are cheap, but damn it was impossible for me to wear the akg371 as they were too shallow and had no protection for the driver plastic, and the way they were build made sure I had holes for the sound to get out...

Sadly audio is very subjective, on comfort, space, and sound.

All you get is water but it's not just water.

Water in the admosphere is an extremely strong (but short lived) greenhouse gas.

And while it was hit, it could also be irradiated. While a nuclear blast has less radiation impact than a nuclear plant burning, throwing many nuclear bombs in one place may have other impacts. Contaminated water can be assimilated by living things. And while in the body, it can do damage.

I've also seen meze get nice reviews, with it's new 109 pro, or more expensive ones.

The 99 seem great too from reviews, but very bassy/bass forward.

Because "gaming" headphones often aren't "just" headphones. They are headsets with a built-in boom mic

And a boom-mic is often way better than a crap wire mic or bluetooth headphone non boom mic.

There are still the trash ones, but there are also very good ones.

And a built-in mic is extremely useful on multiple situations : console gaming, tight space gaming (no place for a mic), or when there is only a single port on a device (tho a splitter, or hub could be used for a jack port or usb). There is also the convenience of just having a mic.

The issue now with all these headsets being "gaming", is because of the marketing.

Some headphones brands have put mics on theirs, to make them headsets :

Beyerdynamic with the mx300 : the tight clamp makes it a bit of a no go for me. The mic is as just between ok and great. The voice is full, but there is a lot of noise in there from the reviews I saw.

Audio technica : they have multiple of them. Latest one the ath-m50xsts. It looks like a circum aural headset, but is not. It's a on ear headset with ear isolation like a circum aural. Which is pretty bad for me. Tho the mic is the best I've ever heard on a headset.

They are both wired only.

And other brands not marketing as "gaming" headsets are either extremely expensive with strange mics, or have most of their production budget into audio and they pair the headphone with a trash mic to make it a headset.

In gaming headset brands, there are multiple ones providing software, mic, and wireless features enhancing the experience of the user. For example low latency high bandwidth wireless (proprietary, wifi-like 2.4ghz) connexions only exist in gaming branded headphones/sets. (high bandwidth = higher than bluetooth for the same latency).

Not really hating on it. It seems to be pretty good for the quality and price.

However it is presented by reviewers as having a very tight clamp, which is a huge pain me, wearing glasses...

It's also open back wich obviously (I hope), isn't adapted to everyone.
