The wireless MA750 is the same price as the T20i. So now I'm wondering should I go for the T20i? Since you have experience with both would you say there's a big difference?

How can I go about implementing a job stealing scheme within OpenMP? I'm able to split the work up between the threads, but I need to find a way to allow one thread to steal the work from another.

I can assign the number of threads at run time using export. I need to be able to manually assign iterations to threads and then make those threads dynamically switch to another chunk when it completes all of it's assigned chunks. I haven't used pthreads before.

I have a for loop which is can be made parallel. I need to apply affinity scheduling to it. Essentially I am not using the standard parallel for implementation: #pragma omp parallel for I am explicitly assigning iterations to threads by changing the upper and lower bounds of the for loop to relate to the thread number: #define N 500 /* main code ommitted */ #pragma omp parallel /* Declarations of shared, private variables will be here */ { int num_threads = omp_get_num_threads(); int threadnum = omp_get_thread_num(); int start = N*threadnum/num_threads; int end = N*(threadnum+1)/num_threads; for (i=start; i<end; i++){ /* LOOP */ } } This means each thread is initialised with n/num_threads iterations. From this I need to split this up into chunks of 1/num_threads. When a thread has completed all it's chunks for it's local set it finds the thread with the most remaining chunks and begins executing those. I need to find a way to implement this. And I'm not sure where to begin. I don't know how to split the iterations into chunks manually.

Can't really find them in the UK or if they are available they are very expensive. So those are ruled out for me

I already have Beyerdynamic DT990 paired with a Schiit stack for home listening. I need something which is portable, closed back so I can use them in an office environment or library. I've considered just getting the DT770s but it's not very portable and I'll need to carry them in a bag. Plus I'd want earbuds that I can just put in my pocket, and listen to while walking about. Full size headphones are a bit bulky for that case I think.

I'm debating between the Shure SE215 or the RHA 750i. This seems to be a common comparison that I've seen in many places. Though I'm undecided at the moment. I'm sort of leaning more towards the RHA because I hear that the SE215 have more bass, which I'm not a fan of. I'm also wondering whether I should go wireless or wired. As my current phone still has a headphone jack, but I do anticipate upgrading it in the future, that being said I don't mind using an adapter. The RHA750i wired are £90 and the wireless ones are £149. I'm not sure it's really worth the jump up. What are your opinions on the RHAs? I've also heard on forums that they require a burn in period. But in many cases people say they outperform the SE215, so I'm tempted by them.

Whilst they are nice I believe the Audeze website states that they are semi-open design. One critical requirement is that they must be closed back as I need zero sound leakage. I will be using them in public spaces so noise isolation and no leakage are a must. Had a look at some of RHA's offerings, they do look quite nice. The wireless ones however are not really what I'm looking for, I need earphones that I can put away in my pocket, not a fan of the neck-band style earphones, as I would just get full on headphones otherwise.

I'm looking to buy some new earphones to replace my current Anker Soundbuds IE20 which recently broke. Ideally I would like something with bluetooth and a remote to use with my iPhone 6S. I would like something portable for listening mainly from my phone. I listen to rock/metal music as well as podcasts. At home my audio setup is a Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro connected to a Schiit Modi 2 and Magni 2 stack. Some of the options I have looked at are: Beyerdynamic Byron BT/BTA Shure SE215 Wireless Jaybird X3 Sennheiser Momentum Free Bose SoundSport bluetooth Audio-Technica ATH-CKR75BT Whilst I prefer to have bluetooth I am also wondering if I should instead get wired headphones, and if so which ones?

Ok I think I will get the modi 2 and magni 2 then. Just curious as to how the E10 is bad, I remember it used to be recommended previously a few years back. I do notice odd blips and static pops occasionally though. Thanks for your help btw, great thread you have here.

Is it really that bad? Never really thought much until I came across this thread. Been wanting to upgrade for a while About £110 each, according to the website you linked. I also noted that there is a Fulla 2 as well, or am I better off getting the magni and modi?

I'd say perhaps £100-£200

Hi, I currently use a pair of Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro with a Fiio E10 and I'm looking to upgrade. Not sure if I should get another DAC or just use an AMP. Want to know if it's worth upgrading at all, and if so what should I buy. I am based in the UK for reference.

I noticed the same when i installed a new driver, as soon as I rebooted it started doing this. I'm clueless as to why. Seems like you had the same problem as me.

Mine looked exactly like that. Even though the fan speed setting was fixed. I believe the fans are faulty and replacing them fixes that issue. When I replaced them they behaved normally. Though I'm running a hackintosh I noticed in Windows it did that up and down speed. But in Mac it just ran at a constant slow speed which I thought was odd.
