DT 770 pro 80ohm with a modmic 4 uni (These headphones will require a pretty good mobo amp or external/internal amp/DAC soundcard). Or Sennheiser HD559 with a modmic 4 uni. the HD559 are open back and are more flat and clear sounding.

The Sloth got a reaction from kelvinhall05 in UBUNTU wins hands down against macbook (privacy and software) DON'T BUY THE MACBOOK PRO PLEASE!!!!
also most people who buy macs are general consumers, who wants features like the apple ecosystem. For devs, Xcode being able to make apps for Iphones and macs are one of the main reason they need OSX, hackintosh is not stable as real OSX.
Overall Macs are still a better option for most people who wants a macbook due to
- Better support/ warranty
- Ecosystem, some people love it.
- exclusive apps like FCP, Xcode

The Sloth reacted to jiyeon in Audio-Technica ATH-M50x Revisited - Review Round 2
So it’s no secret that my original purchase of the M50x was mildly controversial, and actually looking back now, I can see why. I was a young gun back then, with little to no knowledge about the audiophile’s world, and was tempted by the prettiness of the headphones.
However, since making my original review of the M50x, I am not afraid to give it a second bout and truly write down on paper how it feels to use it. You can read my original review here, however the original review now means nothing due to this revisiting of the headphones. Note that, because of this revisiting of the ATH-M50x, the old review is now deprecated, but will remain up for the sake of transparency from how I used to feel about the headphones, and in contrast with present day.
I have since been able to experience a number of Hi-Fi products including the Tin T2, FiiO FH5, and most notably my vintage 1993 pair of Sennheiser HD 580 Precision headphones. All of which beat the M50x’s shallow sound signature in some way.
Without beating around the bush too much longer, I have returned to give the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x a second review and am officially U-turning them, and revisiting my previous thoughts about these headphones from a now well-oiled pair of ears after experiencing genuinely high-fidelity audio for myself.
The format of this revisit will follow the formatting of all my previous audio reviews for the sake of keeping things as mirrored as possible, and to give me an opportunity to review my previous opinions without having to actually use the M50x for an extended period of time ever again.
If you’ve read my original review, you will know I previously praised the M50x for their sound quality. Well, fast forward to today and they’re absolute trash.
Highs
The highs are literally nowhere to be found. Treble is very absent, and if EQ’d enough, become super sibilant and hissy. The highs are easily the weakest part of the headphones, as they lack any bit of punch and power. The highs excite none, and in fact have about the same excitement as stepping in a pile of shit, and actually the highs sound like the drivers have dog feces inside them anyway so it’s not too harsh of a comparison.
Mids
The mids are also extremely weak and absent, and just seemed like they called in sick to work, forever. Mids are completely flat and quiet, even with the volume cranked. You would find better mids in a pair of $5 Walmart headphones with an excessively V-shaped sound signature. The M50x just does not have any strength in the mids at all.
Lows
If there’s anything that can redeem the M50x, it is the lows. They’re actually there unlike the mids and highs. Unfortunately, they’re about as clear as if you stuck peanut butter and cotton balls into your ears before you put these headphones on. They are extremely muddy and lack any real clarity, and on top of that don’t even produce very much boom. They are underwhelming to the highest degree. The lows on paper were supposed to be the chosen one, but just like Anakin Skywalker, these can frankly die in a fire. No, these will not be resurrected into Darth Vader.
While I admit I might have been a little too explicit, I can no longer keep it a secret that I absolutely hate these headphones now after experiencing greener pastures. The M50x just has a rancid sound signature to them, and I frankly don’t understand what demographic would want these as daily drivers.
You could argue that the tonality in the low end could be geared towards people who are into hip-hop and rock, but even then, the lows are so muddy that you’re not going to enjoy your music at all. Add to that that the M50x are super leaning into the low-end, it’s not even going to be good for mastering and mixing music productions.
These headphones for $150 are just not worth the money, no matter how convenient they are in terms of other features I had bought them for in my original review. No, I will never be using these headphones ever again, no I don’t intend to give them any further chances, no I do not enjoy the hideous sound signature, but yes I will voluntarily send them to landfill free of charge.
I should probably finish by saying that despite how much of a sore jerk I'm being to these headphones, and how I have held no punches, I genuinely don't find these good headphones anymore especially for the price. The sound quality just does not match up to anything else I have used since then.

You're not the consumer Apple is looking for though? A lot of your arguments don't really make sense for the other 75% of people who don't need the absolute best performance/tinkering
MacOS on the 2020 MBP has been near perfect for me regarding development

depends on how much money you have. I would update your whole platform and get a higher refreshrate display.

The Sloth got a reaction from mr moose in Apple threatens to kill Unreal Engine on iOS, Fornite may never return
Sorry what? They have a monopoly on IOS, can i permanently sideload fortnite on my iphone 11 pro/ Ipad? the answer is no, yeah thare are workaround with things like Ult store but they are a temp solution whare you have to jump through a lot of hoops. Have you heard of the term walled garden when refered to IOS?
mo·nop·o·ly /məˈnäpəlē/ Learn to pronounce noun 1. the exclusive possession or control of the supply of or trade in a commodity or service. "his likely motive was to protect his regional monopoly on furs" Ex- apple on IOS -
The Sloth got a reaction from neeshantcharlie in How come a mobile CPU has more transistors than a desktop CPU?
becouse, they are a SOC that fits in GPU, CPU, modem, ram, DSP, ISP, security chips....ect.
ARM vs X86, the snapdragon is designed for low power usage. ARM is a RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) architecture while x86 is a CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computing), so ARM uses less silicon area.

Normally I wouldn't endorse rhetoric like that, but given the last few threads where people have been defending some of their worse behaviors I'm sure it isn't entirely inaccurate.

Its relly not that fast or great of a deal. Its basically gtx780ti class card,nd missing many newer fetures, and gonna be. pain to use in a newer build. For most users there are better cards for the money.

The Sloth got a reaction from kelvinhall05 in Blast From The Past
Bunch of old people getting nostalgic, bunch of kids wants something as a prop and youtubers. You can buy the original ones for cheaper, which has actual historical value.
i can see paying 50- 100, due to all the work they have to do but 500$ is pusing it by a lot.

The Sloth got a reaction from porina in Logitech mouse sometimes double clicks, support experience, alternatives?
SteelSeries Rival 650 is good but after trying bunch of mices, G pro has the best preformance when it comes to games.
If you can deal with cords, look at Final mouse.

The Sloth got a reaction from Arika in Apple threatens to kill Unreal Engine on iOS, Fornite may never return
Would you side with microsoft, in 2001? Just because thare are rules, that doesn't mean the rules are fair or can't be challanged.
Apple is facing a bunch of antitrust lawsuits for a reason, hopefully they open up the OS a bit more.
same thing could be said about microsoft in the 2000s.

All I am saying is regardless of what games epic and apple re playing or what their intentions are, it does not change the fact that apples behavior and control over ios developers is anti trust.
