  • Yeah it’s pretty easy to understand that the 84 is the professional reviews. I guess there aren’t just 64 people who put a comment, but 6190 who put a comment (from the image in the post).

    The more professional reviews come out the more the score has a chance to go down compared to the first reviews if they were very high. And give some sort of average.

    However profesional review scores don’t always align to what most users think, as people like different things, but also the users get very much bothered by a bad start. While the reviewers will give a score on the entire game.





  • Equalizer APO + Peace equalizer (as the interface) + AutoEq (for the automatic equalization).

    It allows to change do advanced and automatic equalization on audio devices, being audio outputs or inputs as mics.

    AutoEq is the automatic part. It is more focused on Headphones/earbuds/iems presets. It’s an automatic tool trying to equalize measured (by a compatible reviewer source, which is already in the database) headset to match the target the user wants, Then export a file for the software someone uses (peace for example).

    As a common preset, the harman over-ear 2018/in-ear (depending on the device) is pretty good, but other presets are available too.





  • That is not true at all.

    Epos “still” has great mics on the h6 pro.

    Corsair has very good mics on the premium headset (virtuoso), and the wired hs80.

    Razer also has a very good mic on the blackshark v2 pro 2023 (not the old one).

    Hyperx has a very good mic on their wired cloud 3.

    Drop x Sennheiser has a good mic on the pc38x.

    Beyerdynamic has a very good mic on their mx300 gen2

    Audio Technica has be best ever mic on a headset currently on the m50xsts (or other with the same mic, not sure if they have other similar ones).

    And all of these mic sound better than what modmic has currently not discontinued.


  • Sure with the budget, space, and maybe even enough noise isolation or when you can get open headphones…

    But how much would a good enough studio headphone cost? Because from what I understand from studio headphones it’s perfectly calibrated headphones?

    Now image your someone without the proper budget to get 1k$ headphones, and no space for open sound. what would you buy?

    Maybe beyerdynamic? But for me the clamp force is too high.

    Akg? They are cheap, but damn it was impossible for me to wear the akg371 as they were too shallow and had no protection for the driver plastic, and the way they were build made sure I had holes for the sound to get out…

    Sadly audio is very subjective, on comfort, space, and sound.



  • Because “gaming” headphones often aren’t “just” headphones. They are headsets with a built-in boom mic

    And a boom-mic is often way better than a crap wire mic or bluetooth headphone non boom mic.

    There are still the trash ones, but there are also very good ones.

    And a built-in mic is extremely useful on multiple situations : console gaming, tight space gaming (no place for a mic), or when there is only a single port on a device (tho a splitter, or hub could be used for a jack port or usb). There is also the convenience of just having a mic.

    The issue now with all these headsets being “gaming”, is because of the marketing.

    Some headphones brands have put mics on theirs, to make them headsets :

    Beyerdynamic with the mx300 : the tight clamp makes it a bit of a no go for me. The mic is as just between ok and great. The voice is full, but there is a lot of noise in there from the reviews I saw.

    Audio technica : they have multiple of them. Latest one the ath-m50xsts. It looks like a circum aural headset, but is not. It’s a on ear headset with ear isolation like a circum aural. Which is pretty bad for me. Tho the mic is the best I’ve ever heard on a headset.

    They are both wired only.

    And other brands not marketing as “gaming” headsets are either extremely expensive with strange mics, or have most of their production budget into audio and they pair the headphone with a trash mic to make it a headset.

    In gaming headset brands, there are multiple ones providing software, mic, and wireless features enhancing the experience of the user. For example low latency high bandwidth wireless (proprietary, wifi-like 2.4ghz) connexions only exist in gaming branded headphones/sets. (high bandwidth = higher than bluetooth for the same latency).




  • At one point I was searching for a way to compress pictures in bulk while still conserving their readability, and I found this app, photo compressor and Resizer. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.photocompress.photoeditor

    It has many downloads, but just in case (because it doesn’t need it) I disabled Internet access to the app.

    The size reduction is huge while still keeping a lot of the quality (it is also possible to chose a target size).

    By default, the picture looks like it was taken with an older device with lower quality. However it still looks good enough. Not sure how to describe it.

    On a picture of my car, it went from 4.8mB to 428kB. I can see most of the useful detail and identify most of elements in the picture. However some individual leafs or reliefs on some berries in the background or side are harder to see, or lost.

    For the rest you can also put the pictures on a specific hosting website, and then just paste a link.



  • Per connexion would be pretty bad. Per network.

    Let’s say you want to set a static DHCP ip from your router. The only way to do so (from the router, I’m not talking from the phone), is by assigning an IP to a MAC address.

    If the address is randomised per connection, affecting a static DHCP ip would be impossible.

    Another thing a router often has is some sort of dhcp memory. It remembers the ip it gave to a certain MAC address for some time, then when the device connects back, it assigns the same IP it had before.

    So if the ip changes each time either the MAC address changes each time (not sure it’s default), or the router has no memory.

    I may have learned things about tech and computers on reddit, but I don’t remember the posts, only the knowledge.

    Also I learned that redditors in the comments are 75-90% stupid and useless in any post. I sometimes had to answer tech related posts just because the other answers were completely wrong and did not help the OP.

    Tho sometimes there was some useful info. But only sometimes…
