JDubbleuLatency just still isn't there unfortunately
Only issue I’ve ever had with wireless headphones is the ear piercing screech they do when the battery is running low
Listening to quiet-ish youtube video
BWOOOOOP LOW BATTERY
agent_flounderThis is me listening to ASMR almost asleep. God damn headphones. I am in the middle of trying to figure out how to reprogram another bt device that has a Chinese lady that yells at me even louder than the headphones. I probably will give up but I sure wished these manufacturers would chill with the warning volume.
mihntMine yell at me in a British accent.
MentalEdgeLove my GSP 370s. The low battery warning is just a quite bleep, and the 100 hour battery life means you seldom hear it, and when you do, you still have so much time left that the low battery sound only plays like once an hour once you have less than 10 hours left.
It’s not so much a PLUG ME IN NOW, as a “hey, I gotchu for tonight, but plug me in when ur done”.
I used to have a pair that would beep EVERY MINUTE until it ran out of power. What the fuck??? Might as well just cut the battery size by a percentage at that point, it’s so insanely irritating.
As long as you use headphones and a bluetooth adapter that supports APTX LL (low-latency), it’s instantaneous for me. Same as using it wired.
Is it my different vs headphones working via WiFi?
Not sure, I haven’t used wifi-based headphones before. I just know I don’t notice any audio latency when using APTX-LL supporting headphoens/adapter that I’ve noticed when just using regular bluetooth
EXTRA WORK!
As a gamer and (almost) audiophile, any solution besides wired is just dancing around tradeoffs to get a worse result for more money. I’ll stick with my cord.
Tbh I just get jelous when my discord buds go take a piss or Cook some food and keep talking while im tethered to a 3m or so semi circle around my desk
I just join the call on my phone when I step away from my desktop
CookieJarObserverWired best because i don’t need to charge it and there is no possibility of signal jamming by operating a microwave.
If operating a microwave interferes with any of your 2.4GHz networks, you need a new microwave.
Nope, my Microwave is older than i am and I’m not going to replace it until it breaks. It works perfectly, not even the light bulb burned through after almost 30 years of semi regular operation.
I don’t have the right to replace something that worked longer than me without it being broken.
kaduIt works perfectly
Aside from letting it’s waves get out of the “isolated” cage, you mean.
And? My fucking W-LAN Router emits the same waves, phones emit the same waves.
The little bit that gets out is absolutely harmless, would be very different if the full 1200W would get out but they don’t. I would have noticed.
A microwave oven uses orders of magnitude more power than those, though. That said, the amount leaking through the Faraday cage is probably minimal. Still worth getting a modern microwave, they have better interfaces and faster cook times than the old ones.
NeatoNo Faraday cage is perfect. They are all just attenuators. Likely the amount of microwave leakage allowed used to be greater when it was just safety in mind. Has the FCC updated in 30yr for microwave leakage to protect communications?
A microwave that leaks 2.4 interference is what I’d consider definitely broken. Beyond broken. It can’t even do it’s primary job any more, just partially.
Just because the power unit still works, doesn’t meant the rest is done.
This is the most idiotic bs I’ve read today.
The cages never have been perfect and its absolutely no problem, its safe and doesn’t even cause interference with the W-LAN, just shitty 2.4 GHz connections.
Why would it be broken? Please explain in detail why a microwave that operates with up to 2400W (im only using the 1200W setting) is broken when it causes small interferences with 2.4 GHz connections? Cause im like 99% shure even Modern microwaves that operate at these Wattage do that. Faraday cages are never perfectly insulating they are regulated to only leak a certain amount of waves for safety. Otherwise you wouldn’t have a window in your microwave…
It’s broken because its leaking radiation and needs replacing. wattage means nothing I have radio equipment that I use for work that would knock most routers over with 0.5 watts if it’s not shielded right.
Fucking W-LAN Routers work with 100mW to 1W Transmitter Power, but thats not the point. The frequency is.
And yes you could technically interfere with most WLAN Routers with much less Wattage when you just put them on top of your equipment.
Point however is that the microwaves Faraday cage is intact and woks normally, there are different norms for microwaves and Radio Equipment…
And you say Radiation, while it is A radiation, its not ionizing like UV or anything further down that part of the spectrum (like nuclear radiation) Microwaves, like Infrared are harmless to humans by itself (unless you get cooked by them but I’ve never heard about that happening)
My Microwave works absolutely fine and most microwaves do let some microwaves out, they happen to be in the 2.4 GHz spectrum, a more or less Obsolete standard besides Bluetooth and cheap wireless transmitters.
So why would it be broken? Please explain. And its not Radio equipment.
Because its leaking radiation (I’m so glad you looked that word up) possibly because it’s so old. Now it won’t do you any harm but here’s the thing is. That radiation will at some point increase and begin to interfere with others Not just at 2.4ghz either you will get harmonics that could effect other services. Now to me looking at your post histroy you seem to me that type of dickhead that would willingly cause interference just for kicks.
That a good enough reason sweet tits or do you need it in braile?
(I’m so glad you looked that word up)
I don’t look up anything cause its not worth my time, i had physics class.
That radiation will at some point increase and begin to interfere with others Not just at 2.4ghz either you will get harmonics that could effect other services.
It hasn’t and it has always caused problems with 2.4 GHz connections. 5 GHz was never effected. So nothing changed, furthermore the walls of my house are thick enough to block Mobile network and stuff, so even if, i won’t effect people outside my house.
And you are right! I absolutely won’t by a new Microwave because you told me to.
But don’t worry, im already in possession of stuff that fucks up other peoples day and don’t use it, so i won’t use my Microwave for it either. It warms up Food not more, not less.
Btw, its a known problem for many people that microwave cause some noise in the 2.4 GHz frequency, thats nothing limited to My Microwave and has nothing to do with age, a friend of mine got a complete new kitchen and his microwave does the same.
Again, what do you think is going to happen, its nothing dangerous, just a very very minor inconvenience at best.
My microwave doesn't interfere with my wifi.
The last time I had a microwave which caused interference was 30 years ago.
If your microwave interferes with your wireless hardware, then it’s a health hazard. You should replace it ASAP.
Thats complete BS. More than anything else in the thread so far.
A health hazard? Absolutely not.
You were wrong about everything else, but surprisingly you’re right in this instance.
Microwaves leaking radiation is absolutely not a health hazard.
Right…
It’s not. There are two types of electromagnetic radiation: ionizing and non-ionizing.
Ionizing is the radiation that is bad for you because it also shoots little tiny particles at you that damage your DNA. Think X-rays
No-ionizing radiation doesn’t shoot tiny particles at you, so it’s mostly safe. Microwaves use this type, and it’s the exact same radiation your wifi router uses (which is why it can cause interference)
The worst a microwave oven can do to you is give you a burn since they work by heating up water molecules. But, that would require you to trip the door switch and putting a body part inside.
So, in conclusion, it’s basically impossible for a microwave to harm you with EMR unless you’re actively trying to make it harm you.
Too much irrelevant text. Microwave ovens have enough power to burn you. Ionisation is not at play here.
It’s all relevant text. Like I said, you have to intentionally try to hurt yourself with a microwave. A bit of a shield leak won’t do anything.
Why did you feel this comment was relevant?
ivanafterallBut then how will he ever join the X-Men?
DeceptichumCableless is best because there’s no possibility of snagging a cable on something and you can move freely.
I have a pair of JBL Quantum 810 and charge every other day when using heavily, oh and I can charge it while using, or grab a battery bank and charge on the go. 2.4ghz and Bluetooth. Fuck being tethered
JBL is expensive garbage…
Personal experience? Or just hearsay? I’ve not had an issue with these headset and am extremely satisfied with the battery life. The ANC is good enough I used them while weed whacking and mowing 2 acres
I had a headset from JBL, it broke super fast, the Cushion basically desintegrated after a year and the sound was mediocre.
I now have wired Studio Headphones with a extra mic and it was cheaper, better sound in and out and it lasted 3 years so far without any problems.
My experience with jbl is its hot garbage. You pay for the brand, not the quality.
Shaded CosmosEveryone makes the argument of worrying about charging it, but the cable is still there… Like, when it’s low you plug it in and play as if it was wired. I play casually and plug mine in once every other week (HyperX).
For me it’s great because I hate the wire getting in the way but not everyone is bothered by that so to each their own.
I make the argument that its unnecessary to put a battery in a thing that will move within one square meter for the rest of its lifetime… I just don’t see the positive of a wireless anything on a pc that is wired. A laptop might be a different story, but a tower PC is literally just standing in at place and you can lay the cable nice so it’s not making problems.
I guess for me I also move my tower a lot, several times a year between states, so wireless technology really makes that less painful.
Hm in this case…
I just can remotely access mine when i have to go somewhere else for a while.
Yeah its pretty convinient not having to truck around a tower pc.
I thought that too, but now I have a wireless mouse, keyboard, and ear buds and it's amazing. You never have to worry about the slight tension from a cord, or what the cord will bump into. Complete freedom. The batter on my Logitech keyboard lasts about 3 months before it needs to be recharged.
Even though I use a desktop I still don’t think I could ever swap back to wired headphones. I frequently get up for a variety of reasons and keeping my music playing or continuing to chat with my friends is great. I briefly had to use a wired headset again and I nearly pulled the cable out a few times from getting up.
Cables take a lot of space. And this space can be used for better purposes.
I clip my cables to the back of my monitor. Like USB cables for instance. Makes it out of sight normally and easy to access when I need it.
I have a lot of stuff at the back of the monitor, no place for cables.
Some headphones don’t let you use them while charging
You can use them wired and then charge overnight.
My Sony headphones can’t be used while charging
I can walk across my house and even go into my back yard and still get signal from the dongle on the back of my PC. Only place it gets disrupted is when my head is in the fridge but it just goes to robot sounding and doesn’t disconnect
Ok, but why would you do that?
