You can usually find herman miller's on craigslist or other public listing sites since they are a very popular office chair. When business go under, they sell all the used furniture. I got mine for 275 USD.

Hello everyone, I was hoping for some guidance on VR headsets. I've saved up a good amount of "fun money" over the last 2 years which I would like to spend on a VR setup, so price is less of a problem for me, as long as its not outrageous compared to competitors (I'm looking at you Pimax). I already have a computer which should be more than capable of running any current gen headset from what I can tell (2080 Super + 3900X) so I can afford to splurge on the headset and peripherals. With that said, I want the best experience using the headset I can get from currently available products. I don't necessarily want the fanciest headset, I want the headset that I can use as a daily driver, if I could realistically use it as a 'virtual office' space for 5+ hours a day that would be ideal, I also place a high value on the 'It just works' aspect even if that means less frills. I was hoping you fine folks could help me figure out which headset that might be as I'm having some difficulty understanding the product stacks of some manufacturers, and how important of a human factor some of the specs are as I've really only been able to test drive the earlier headsets from library/school rentals etc. Currently, I am leaning towards one of either the Valve Index, or one of HTC's headsets, though I'm open to others. This is because I think the Index or the Vives fit that 'it just works' model I'm after. I don't however understand a) HTC's product stack; I don't know which headsets are aimed at consumers and which ones are aimed at developers or some specific niche use. I don't mind paying the high price tags of any of HTCs headsets, but I don't really understand what tradeoff I'm making if I choose a Cosmos, Pro, or Focus model. Are the "Pro" headsets strict upgrades to the cosmos? is the focus model just a gimmicky eye tracking thing I'll never care about? b) How much weight should I place on frame rate and resolution? My intuition is that I should probably value fps over most everything (and thus choose an Index), but If someone has any experience with both a Cosmos and an Index and could give me a quick comparison of the eye-comfort from the resolution/fps tradeoff I would greatly appreciate it. c) It's my understanding that the FOV of essentially every headset is problematic. With that in mind, should I prioritize it as much as FPS? d) what is the optimal number of base stations? 4? e) Cable management; what is the best method, and where do I find quality products for the purpose like extra long replacement headset cables or overhead cable rigs? f) different controller schemes. I'm guessing some of this is personal preference, but are there controllers, or other peripherals, which are highly recommended? Relatedly, I have audiophile grade headphones, will I be able to use them with VR headsets? Are the built in speakers any good at all? Finally, I'm in the fortunate circumstance of also buying a home. So, I would like to know anyone's recommendation for room design/size that has worked well for them. Thanks everyone.

I recently moved from a usb headset to a pair of DT 770s (80 ohm) run off of my Aorus x570 Elite Wifi Mobo and now I can hear very quiet clicking when I move my mouse. I've played around with my mouse settings to figure out exactly what is happening and it seems that I am hearing a click through the headset every time the mouse reports its position. If I increase the polling rate the clicking gets faster and sounds like static and if I lower it the clicking slows down. What a weird bug. It isn't that bothersome, but I can definitely tell it is there if I am not listening to anything with my headphones on. Is there a way to stop this from occurring?

Update: Picked up the DT 770 80ohm, seems to run more than serviceably off my mobo after making sure I use the front IO audio header since its the only amped one on Aorus boards. Very happy with it. Its a much welcome upgrade from my decade old headset. I can definitely tell that these are a touch bassier, but that is my preference, so these are really great! Thanks everyone for the help! Now I can feel good about taking my time to save up for a good dac/amp.

Would it be reasonable to spring for the 80 ohm version of the DT 770's now, and look to upgrade with a sound blaster in the future? I have the Aorus x570 elite wifi as my mobo.

I am currently looking for a good set of closed back headphones (my preference) to use as a daily-driver for music and gaming. I do not need a microphone, and I do not have a dac/amp. I'm looking for something in the $150-$200 usd range. I've looked around on the forum but most posts seem to be recommending open back headphones, which I do not want.

That's a good idea. I wouldn't know where to find very many though, I guess I could try to pick up broken computers from a thrift shop.

I've recently been exploring the options surrounding making my own case fans. There is a pretty interesting youtuber who is exploring the idea of different printed blades and so forth (Major Hardware) but he doesn't really explore the idea of actually making your own fans from scratch, he pretty exclusively cannibalizes other fans. I think I can pretty reliably print housings, and blades, and even manage to mount everything together pretty well, but I have yet to find a decent source of motors that will really fit the need here. Most of the motors I find, are either way too expensive because they're intended for something like a Quadcopter, or are entirely too large to work. Do any of you have an idea where I could look for some motors for this? Tach and PWM would be an obvious bonus, but I can see why that might be hard to come by without cannibalizing an existing fan.
