  1. I think one of the 20+ employees at LMG should really be responsible for adding metric units to videos...

      I thought Canada used the metric system and I thought they used to use metric in their videos. 

      I really just don't even with their measurements, metric or don't do measurements, people who use imperial need to know how to use metric, but not the other way around.

      yeah I thought so too but in the acer Predator video they used pounds, its not a big deal but thats way I feel like they could just simply add it too

  2. True I really kept it short because I think they sound just fine " The sound they produce is still a little beatsy but I personally think that they are far from earlier Beats products and only lack ever so slightly at the mids."
  3. Just uploaded my Beats X review, quite a long one but should show why I like mine even though they are kinda pricy

  4. I am thankful that you read my whole review and looked at my points before you commented with your opinion
  5. In this post you can find my, kind of lengthy, review of the Beats X. I also included a TL;DR at the bottom for people that don’t care about this piece of poetry I just cranked out of my head during the last 30 minutes I usually listen to music for 3-5 hours per day, long commute to school, but never felt the need to get anything better than those 30$ in-ear earphones because due to my frequent use they would never survive longer than a few months anyway. It wasn’t until Jaybird announced the first BlueBuds before I was interested in bluetooth earbuds at all but because of the technology being so new and me being so broke I skipped them and later releases. Expensive earbuds lost my attention again, until Apple decided to throw out their Beats X way, like seriously way, before they were ready in september. I gotta defend myself, I had problems with wired earbuds before, like hearing noises through the cable while walking, probably because I bought those cheap unshielded ones, or the cable just straight up limiting your movement while in use. So anyway I saw the Beats X and thought that they are perfect for me since they have: Small driver housing A cable connecting them because I wouldn’t want to loose my earbuds Somewhat normal looking, although the loop they make is a bit strange They are designed to work with iPhones because of that fancy W1 chip THEY ARE SYMMETRICAL for the love of god So I decided to buy them, note that I made that decision in november but after I realized that Apple just used them so the lack of a 3.5mm jack on the iPhone 7 seemed like a smaller deal that it actually is, I had to wait quite a while until they were available. Soooo To keep it short they didn’t not showed up until motherfin february and I still think that the announcement during the keynote was a big mistake. Anyway now that I had them for more than a month, I think it’s time to review them so I and you can find out if they are worth it. The title said that the X’s are 120$ and I was as surprised as you when I found out, that the 3 months Apple Music trial that comes in the box, can be redeemed in form of an iTunes credit for 29.98€, and I guess it’s the same with dollar. For the unboxing, well it’s an Apple product so the unboxing process is very nice and appropriate for earbuds with a price tag of 150$. They come included with a wide variance of eartips to fit your ears, even those funky double sealing once that kind of look like you put a screw in your ear canal and also with ear-fins and a short USB Type A to Lightning cable. Anyway how are the Beats X in a daily usage ? Well for me they work quite well, the battery has only died once on me and that was because I forgot to charge them overnight but because I always carry a powerbank on me I could use the really useful Fast Fuel feature which loads 2 hours worth of listening in just 5 minutes of charging. The pairing process is, thanks to the W1 chip, flawless on iPhones but I also used them with my laptop and they paired just fine minus the somewhat magical feeling you get when the little paring screen pops up. The sound they produce is still a little beatsy but I personally think that they are far from earlier Beats products and only lack ever so slightly at the mids. The only problems with them I sometimes get is that the, otherwise very nice clicking, in-line remote doesn’t work when you press it for the first time from time to time. But since it only occurs from time to time and only for the first press during the usage I think it’s not the worst. Also the carrying case that comes with them is just not good, since you need to fold them in a very specific way to even fit them into it, and even when you fit them correctly they are not protected 100% since the case is open at the top. What I would love is a shorter cable since even for a tall guy like me it is making that loop which I personally think is not the most aesthetically pleasing form in the world. Other than that and the infamous stupid way they charge, very apple like though looking at you magic mouse 2, I really like my Beats X and for me personally they are worth the steep price Apple or Beats is asking for them. TL;DR PRO: Work exceptionally well with Apple products but just as normal with other devices The 150$ price tag really is 120$ + 30$ App Store credit They just work, when you need them and thanks to magnetic backs they don’t disturb Battery life is more than enough for me personally + Fast Fuel is amazing Don’t look like you jammed toothbrushes into your ears CON: Well they are still 150$ In-Line remote sometimes bugs during first use after power up The cable loop they force form is not the prettiest They charge really awkward because they are so stiff The carrying case is not closed and can only hold them when folded correctly Beats X are neither water resistant or water protected, you gotta pay more for that SUMMARY: Although it may seem like the Beats X are bad earbuds, the cons I listed really are minor details in an otherwise very well made product, which I would absolutely recommend to a friend of mine or buy again. I hope you enjoyed this pretty spontaneous review I just wrote and didn’t encounter to many errors, if so please have mercy since english isn’t my native language. I would love some feedback if you have some for me
  6. Just found an old setup banner  for a "dream upgrade" and got inspired I should really stop wasting so much time though :D

    So I waited for DDR3 to become cheaper, waited…

    yeah me too but now I really don't wanna pay 65€ for the upgrade so I guess I have to 2nd hand it somewhere
  9. So I waited for DDR3 to become cheaper, waited even longer after it hit 30€ for 8GB and now it is back at about 65€ for the 8GB Crucial Ballistix, FML I even paid less when I bought it

      lol 

      sounds about right.

      I have to say if it was cheap enough i'd like to try some fast ram, see how it boosts perf.

    About to buy the Beats X, please don't be bad,…

    But I can already tell you that the case that comes with them is very strange, first time I needed to learn how to use a freakin case...

    yeah so far I really love the pairing but sure I'll try to review other stuff as all those youtbe reviews that really only scratch the surface tbh

      Well give us a little mini review or something. I'm curious to see how they hold up

    This guy makes nice videos, what other tech you…

    Bout to try some video stuff too but I really don't wanna copy the whole MKBHD/TLD look since I personally thinks its a little overdone on YT but I recently discovered Justin Odisho who makes pretty nice PS/Premiere tutorials
  16. Finally got the new Laptop, could be a cheap XPS 13 alternative so far....

  17. The Smartphone market has advanced so far that, alteast for me, the most important feature a phone has is software its update cycles which is a huge benefit for both apple and google since they make they software for their phones. But maybe nextbit has some nice cloud software that razer wants to use in their next products though I really don't see how a blade or a stealth would benefit from deeply integrated cloud storage since they have quite a lot of onboard storage
  18. The Dell Inspiron 13 5000 2-in-1 (5378) since it has a 1080p IPS touch panel, 16GB DDR4 Ram, backlit keyboard, 256GB SSD and the fake i7, dual core with HT for 850€ so yeah
  19. the problem with laptops under 1000$, I know this because I just bought mine, is that you either get: a nice looking and feeling laptop with mediocre specs OR a powerful editing machine that is probably made out of plastic since hardware was the main priority. Atleast with most of the laptops I've looked up
  20. Just ordered the Dell Inspiron 13 5000 2-in-1 (5378) besides the ridiculous name it should be decent for 850€ having an i7, dualcore though, 256GB SSD, and 16GB of ram. Maybe I'll review it since there aren't many great ones out there

      Do, and let us know ;)

  21. 1.45v is a lot for a i7, my maximum would be around 1.25 since I don't see the real life difference between lets say 4.6 and 4.3. Maybe try OCing it manually
  22. looks like a piece of foam that is inserted into the radiator reservoir to urge the water to circulate more.
