earbuds are meant to be used until they fall apart and then replaced from the location nearest to you at that very second

I've been using a pair of these since 2011, they're pretty good.

[ILurkNoMoar]

Ended up getting a Logitech G933 Artemis Spectrum, normally ~$199 but I mangaed to find them on sale for $139. Pretty good so far, they look snazzy, have good audio quality, and the mic seems decent enough. Only real complaint is they're a bit tighter around my head then I'd like.

Wireless is expensive, but honestly, I miss them so much, being able to shoot the shit while folding clothes or stuff or lying on bed is the greatest thing.

I know right? Being tied to a cord when trying to fold my clothes is the worst.

[Frostyvale]

I keep my computer right next to the chest of drawers, so folding clothes is always esay.

Wireless stuff always has me paranoid I'll run out of charge at a bad time.

I've listened to some pretty crappy consumer headphones in the $100-$200 range, and you can do a lot better for your money.

Aint Bose a good brand?

[Strife ❤️]

My current earbuds were a tenner

Same, actually. I just bought some cheap Sony ones because I'm tired of them breaking after a while no matter how good they are.

Ye, I love my wireless PC headset. I've got this one: http://www.corsair.com/en-gb/void-wi...gaming-headset

It lasts for ages (days) and if it runs out then you can just plug it in like a normal headset anyway.

I don't think I'd ever touch a wireless PC anything (too many bad memories of my old Logitech M&K needing a battery replaced every other day), but for audiobooks and podcasts on the move, or working, nothing beats wireless. Very little tangling, no having to run wires under your shirt to stop most of the tangling, and no idiot-QC-tested-wire-that's-actually-too-heavy-for-the-fucking-earbud-so-it-keeps-falling-out.

Ew, no.

Not only do they look horrible, they'd be ridiculously easy to lose as well.

Buy my stuff, also smoke the mary joannas.

Wait, no, that's Snoop. Or something. I always get those hippity hop rippety rappety stars mixed up.

Where on Earth can I get a dual 6-pin to 8-pin PSU adapter? I've looked all day and I've found nothing.

[castor212]

is that something like this

[Five_X]

This, actually, dual 6-pin and all:

Except, y'know, actually available. I found a couple that look like they're what I need, but they're on ebay, shipped from China - so, about a month to deliver. Not exactly my preference. :/

[castor212]

oh, dual

like this ones?

https://www.amazon.com/GutsParker-6-.../dp/B01N3T6C2K
https://www.amazon.com/GutsParker-Mi.../dp/B01NBMS46B

or are they fundamentally different

[Five_X]

That's exactly it, yes! The only problem: it doesn't ship to a small, obscure country called Canada. I managed to find an equivalent on Amazon.ca - no idea why it didn't show up earlier - but it'll take the better part of a month to arrive, haaaaaaah.

I suppose I'll just order it just in case and hope I can find one locally in the meantime.
