I swear, game developers are getting to be as out of touch with gamers as politicians are with voters.

Went to a Toys and Collectibles convention today...
here's my haul:

Today was a good day.

30% usually...
depends on ambient noise levels, source audio levels, and how pissed I am at my noisy neighbors (at which point I ditch my headphones, wear earplugs, and turn on my 3kW audio system on full blast)...

I see a fellow Lazada customer here... (I use Lazada.com.ph though)
You got them for a really nice price...
Lazada's pricing can get really aggressive and the cash-on-delivery option is really convenient... got a few stuff from them that way...

Well hey guys it's Xenift here.
 
Well today is going to be something different for a change, i have recently bought the Sony MDR-ZX770BN headphones.
This are not to be confused with the MDR ZX-770BT headphones. The pair that i have is the one with noise cancelling, removable audio cable as auxiliary and a big difference in sound quality.
 
PRICE:USD$89
 
Well you are going to ask me this question: Why are this pairs you got so cheap? They retail for a staggering USD$229!
And before you post that my headphones are fake, i bought them off a reputable retailer that is a front runner for E-Sales in my country. And my country doesn't take fakes lightly. (Singapore)
AMAZON:(http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDRZX770BN-Bluetooth-Canceling-Headset/dp/B00TA4HRUI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453125095&sr=8-1&keywords=770bn) , LAZADA(SG) http://www.lazada.sg/sony-mdr-zx770bn-over-the-ear-headphones-black-3607574.html)(They went up in price lol).
So to break the information down, i will section it off accordingly by AUDIO, COMFORT and OVERALL.
 
Audio
These pairs sound great, they are as accurate as you can think of it to be.
They sound crisp, but not too sharp.
They have good bass, but not beats tuned bass.
 
Comparing the the Shure SE215s that i own personally, i would prefer vocals on the SE215s and digital music on the Sony ones. This might be largely because the Shures that i have lack punch in bass to quite a large extent.
 
Otherwise, the Sony headphones are accurate and enjoyable to listen to.
 
As for the noise cancelling, it was okay.
Not extremely good but a good feature to have, since i do not have previous experiences with other noise cancelling headphones i cannot say much.
But they seem to be able to block a good portion of my standing fans which are graded "INDUSTRIAL". (No joke)
The simply felt like ear pads that can be deployed from a press of a button.
 
Also to add on, the wired and non wired usage of the headphones has minimal difference, but certainly a difference. Would elaborate but not too much of an audiophile to do so.
 
Comfort
These are really light, no joke. You can easily get 7 hours of usage without tiring out even with the relative small surface area of the top band. Although using them on a bed is uncomfortable and not recommend for all headphones to begin with.
 
The ear pads are premium, they are soft and genuine leather. They seal relatively well for a pair of headphones and have extremely weak memory foam in it. Much like a broken down hard leather ear pads.
 
The headbands are easy to retract and adjust and have a clean brushed aluminum skeletal structure to it. So it's definitely not going to be break on me anytime soon. The buttons provided are easy to press, labelled well and the volume up key has a bump in it to signify "up".
 
The top headband has a harder foam top to it, but sometimes when lying down on my bed i have wished that the band was slightly thicker. But it is fine as it is.
 
Overall
The headphones scream quality top down and left right. The box included a carrying pouch that is not fantastic due to it being a sleeve. The packaging does it job well but doesn't give you the greatest of un-boxing experience. The pairing of the Bluetooth is simple after several tries. And for the price that i got them at, it is an INSANE of a deal.
Much like buying a 4790k+980Ti rig for the price of a rig with i5-4460+r9 380.
 
Also they have NFC, but i din't use it so neeaah.
 
Would i recommend these? YES!
 
 
 
Sorry for not being able to post pictures as i am a potato of a photographer and it's night time right now which would make the images fuzzy as i need to turn the iso up.
But here is a link in which contains the audio i used to test the headphones.

I find it amazing how people come to a tech forum, start a thread on something that has nothing to do with tech, cause a flamewar, then get pissed at the mods when they shut it down and make a drama infused exit from the scene like some random prima donna who hasn't been told nobody cares if you wish to stay or not.
 
You come here to talk about TECH. Anything else is secondary. It may be good to discuss something different with the community at times, but if it causes a flamewar asking the mods to pick out the flamers one by one is ridiculous - they just shut the thread down and rightfully so.
 
Freedom of expression? You can say whatever you like about tech as long as it's either based on facts or you clearly state it's just your opinion on the matter. Is this about discussing politics, religion or whatever? Because if it is I invite you to notice that this isn't reddit.
 
 
oh please... getting banned happens when you make a silly scene about it.
 
 
oh PLEASE, until WHAT gets through? That some people think the mods aren't doing a great job? I'm sure they're well aware of that, and don't care because they are confident in how they run things. And the thing is, Luke agrees with them or something would have changed, don't you think? This isn't a totalitarian government shooting down protesters, it's a night club kicking out troublemakers and drunkards.

If there is one thing I could change about it, it would be nothing because it's perfect

Thought this was the best place to put this... Anyway, HOPEFULLY this weekend I will get my unfinished 3D printer out of the box of crap that it is in and work on it. It is made mostly from available/recycled materials, such as angle iron with holes in it, plywood, linear rods and motors from scanners/printers, etc.
 
Here is a quick partslist of things I am using that can be found online easy:
Controller: http://amzn.com/B00N1IX776
Heated bed: http://www.ebay.com/itm/111862533183
Hotend: http://www.filastruder.com/products/all-metal-e3d-v6-hotend
Power supply: http://amzn.com/B00DUGDQY8 (a good ATX PSU should do fine)

Here is a CAD drawing of the gantry in everyone's favorite CAD software, MS Paint.



I will try to post updates here every time I make progress, hopefully there are users here interested in the project.

Once finished, I will release plans and 3D models and stuff needed to make it.

Stay subscribed to the thread for updates!

Well assuming your USB uses NAND flash, the flash controller has to constantly update it's own file table (keeping track of all blocks), it also has to do some "Read disturb" maintenance and has to ensure that the ECC checksum is there.
 
I would say your USB has a less than quality flash controller, you will get average read speeds but write speeds will be shit. Writing to NAND flash you are removing and creating multiple pages on each block (which then in turn has to update ECC checksums to ensure data integrity).
It's the sheer number of files you moved around that caused it to be slow.
 
 
I dont know what's worse, the bottom comment or grabbing the PCI connectors and risking killing the card via ESD...

so since were off of cars atm ill just talk about tech. i upgraded my router and internet service today 50mb fiber ftw 

G3258 is fine if you're planning on getting a dedicated GPU...
else try an AMD A10 APU...

You'd a LOT better with a A10 7850K since the iGPU is several TIMES better than the Intel HD 4400 in the Pentium

As is everyone on this entire forum. Welcome to diversity my friend.

You can honestly pay like $40 and get a aftermarket stereo that has AUX, Bluetooth, a better onboard AMP, and probably a ton more features.

Attempting to read my first vn in japanese(not going well). finally worked out how to save(clicked skip way too many times) and suddenly its english. why do you tease me silly program.
