Close. I originally got them exclusively for ASMR listening, when ASMR was a brand new concept.
It's a toss-up between music (almost entirely Lofi Hiphop), ASMR, podcasts, movies, and gaming. I originally got this set specifically for ASMR because I figured the soundstage would be great (it is) but found them to be well-rounded for every use case.
Do you happen to have a link to the replacement elastic? I had no idea that it could be replaced
Damn. Maybe snag a used set on Ebay?
Damn, those look sick! Are they over the ear or on-ear? Hard to drive? I might pick up a pair to use at the office since open-back isn't a great choice for that environment.
Btw the leather band on my Q701 isn't stock. It's just scrap leather that I cut to shape when my old headband wore out. Got the scrap for free on a recycling group.
Those are basically a closed-back version of mine, right? They look badass.
The rest of the breakdown is: 40% once a week, 36% once a month or less. I guess I fall into the latter bracket.
That's awesome and it sounds like it works for you, but I suspect it isn't the norm. I could only find data for 50+ year olds, and among them only 24% talk to friends daily. That seems about right for my adult friends group - I get the sense that a quarter of them are very social and the rest are too busy to socialize that often.
I think that level of interaction might be normal in adolescence and even young adulthood, but by the time you're working, living on your own, and maybe have a family I really don't think most people talk to their friends that often.
Is it normal to talk to friends more than once a week? That seems like a strange standard imo. Even my besties and I touch base maybe once or twice a month at most, and see eachother once every 4 to 6 months.
The book Annihilation centered on a "tower" that was a mysterious, fleshy, downward spiraling tunnel with creepy writing on the walls. The imagery was so unsettling.
For some reason it is entirely absent from the movie. Like... that was half of the point of the book - a "tower" that climbed down into the earth instead of towards the sky. Why would you cut that?
The shooter was trans. Heads up to the trans homies to be cautious and vigilant in the coming days, as right-wing media will almost certainly lean into to this and it could cause backlash against the trans community.
