Hi all, I need some help finding good sounding headphones (by good sounding I mean a good balance between bass, mids, and highs, not mega bass heavy) that are also really comfortable. For reference, I've tried the Audio Technica ATH-M50x headphones and those, while they sound good, are too small for me. The earcups are too small which is a big deal breaker. I need good comfy earcups, adjustable size, and good sound (preferably closed back too). No bluetooth, just wired is fine. Another note: My current daily drivers are the HyperX Cloud II's and they are the most comfortable headphones I've ever worn, but they just don't sound great. I don't need a headset though I just need headphones. Another another note: Forgot about price, looking to spend not more than $150 if possible

Hey all! Just built a new gaming/productivity rig and am currently using a sub-par usb wifi adapter since my router is on another floor. Any suggestions on good PCI-e wifi cards?

Hello forum! I have this super old spare laptop lying around and want to turn it into a classic game emulator but it is super slow. The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite L305-S5955 with an Intel Celeron Dual Core processor in it and 2 GB of DDR2-800 memory (talk about old lol). It also has a super old 160 GB HDD. Because this laptop is so old I am wondering would upgrading the storage drive to an SSD be worth it, or should I not bother? Thanks

I will probably be doing bigger projects down the road. For the time being they are smaller but I might want to experiment with some bigger projects on my own.

I only half answered your question, my bad. Not really sure specific types of programming, but I do plan to possibly make games in my free time or be an indie dev at some point.

My job will most likely involve programming, possibly some virtualization and the such. I am currently working on a Bachelor's in CS.

Just edited the post, about $2000 USD

Hello! I am planning a build for the future, and am thinking of what processor I should go with. I want to game on this computer but I will probably also be doing a bunch of programming too, so I was wondering what CPU would be best optimized for this kind of build? *Edit: the build budget will be ~$2000 USD

Just woke up from a super intense dream, but as it ended there was a squarespace sponsor slot for some convention that doesn't exist given by Linus.

So I am just putting together a list of parts for fun for a future build I may do, and I was looking for a long term storage option (at least 2TB) other than the SSD for the OS. I looked at the WD Black because of the great performance, but then a few lines down, I see the same amount of storage on a Seagate Barracuda for half the price! What exactly is the difference that makes the WD Black so much more expensive? Is the extra price worth it?

I looked at the ATH-M40X and ModMic and almost went with it, but it went over budget a bit much, and didn't want to go used, so I went with the Cloud II's from HyperX because they have great performance and are built well for the price.

lol this is so late, but I did end up getting this laptop and it has suited me fantastically, and will throughout college and then some

Hello! I am looking for good suggestions on a gaming headset for around $100.

This laptop does have a lit keyboard
