  • I’ve been using bose 700s for a long time. They do occasionally have goofy bluetooth behavior and the earcups have to be replaced if you use them heavily, but the bose sound profile I like a lot more than the sony.

    I’ve tried XM5’s recently for more codecs, and I love them except for one thing, which was that the band over the top had hard plastic parts and not enough soft padding, so the headphones with my head shape had a tendency to painfully squeeze. Wearing a hat or putting something on the band helped though. Headphones were light and breathed a bit better than the 700s anyway (haven’t tried the QC 2).

    They would probably be more likely to stare at their phones instead of learning if they did.

    I do think that having students sit at desks for hours at a time is not an effective way of teaching. Giving students different ways of learning is beneficial and more likely to motivate them. But that usually is more work and more expensive to do.

    In an ideal world, every student would have an individualized, self paced learning program with a dedicated teacher. Unfortunately, that’s not the case for nearly any student.

    Yea I remember when people would just stand around the headphone booths in music stores and sample whatever new CDs came out that week. Maybe it was worse in the cassette tape era?

    The headphones were gross. And to be honest, most albums only have a couple good songs anyway.


  • Just guessing, you might be the first person to try to visit that community/magazine from your instance, so lemmy doesn’t have the posts from before trying to federate.

    There should probably be a message after federating a new community that tells people that old posts aren’t retroactively added to your local instance (unless done manually or unless that changes in the future). Or just something that tells users when a community was federated locally.
