    Any way to turn Dark Mode off?

    Superman and Lois (Seems to be remake of Smallville, but just as good)

    absolutely none of that stops Smallville from being total drivel

    Superman and Lois (Seems to be remake of Smallville, but just as good)

    i am 56 now - that doesn't have anything with it being boring utter garbage because there were lots of other series during the time that it was broadcast, that did not just add episode after episode of mindless drivel that had nothing to do with the actual plot just for the purpose of adding...

    just keep it in your pocket - and keep the cable from this to the headphones under your shirt - if you use it in a mobile application and someone grabs for the headphones - it will not allow the headphones off your head and even if the thief cuts it off - at least the bluetooth unit is in your...

    Need to get a car, wtf is up with all these prices?!

    i was at one stage a complete VW nutter - even had a Polo GTi once upon a time but if i was going to buy a car now - i would avoid anything with the name Polo - the Polo hatch is one of the most hijacked vehicles in SA and because many parts are interchangeable across the family (Sedan, cross or...

    yep - the HD598 was much more loved and revered than the HD599 and many prefer them - either of them would add a solid offering to your headphone collection (y) But best to have different headphones for different purposes ie for example you would have a different set for the times when you are...

    Sennheiser HD599 - which is not really an Audiophile headphone but it is a foot stomping, head banging bundle of fun ..... if you want to dissect and analyze the performance this one is not for you but if you just wanna have loads of fun while listening to your music - this one should do the trick

    Series Re-watch

    i read this thread very late and im very curious - a few people have mentioned Stargate SG-1 as a series they rewatch all the time ..... i actually just watched all the Stargates now - and it drives me nuts - theres a part about it that irritates the living shit out of me and that is the fact...

    Why the hate for Renault?

    yeah get it for free then spend far more on maintenance only than buying any other new car plus the maintenance on that for the same period of time used :rolleyes: :p:eek::eek::eek:

    the idea is to find a guy who tunes toward your preference and when he does give you multiple EQ settings for lots of different headphones - he is using EQ to tune all those headphones to as close as possible to that same EQ curve - so if the headphones is capable of boosting or dropping those...

    as alluded to above - that's not how it works - all headphones do not have a neutral sound quality - they are actually all tuned to sound different so nothing actually sounds how the sound engineer of the content decided it should ..... it sounds how the headphone designer wanted it to sound...

    anyone who says that SBC can sound like aptX and LDAC has cauliflowers for ears - SBC is bad under most circumstances - it is why many people say Bluetooth sounds terrible - it is dull and lifeless and i can hear it a mile off i once specifically bought an amp that had built in bluetooth - i...

    audio quality is a subjective thing - most of the time you can use EQ to change how you hear the sound AND even if that doesnt help you, the issue with Apple is that then the apple stuff does not play half the formats that the Sony does so IMHO i would rather definitely get the Sony - i have...

    HeaDphone Discussions. (Audiophile and Gaming)

    the other thing that i like about the Sony headphones is the flexility in terms of the formats - they allow you to listen to all of the bluetooth formats including LDAC which has the highest resolution of all the bluetooth formats - and they include all the aptx formats too there are many...

    Tom Clancys Jack Ryan

    So i watched season 3 since it was all posted in one go - and i binged it in a few days ..... it isnt as good as Season 1 but what really is as good as the original? Still it leaves you wanting more of the series .... so now we wait for Season 4 and its still amongst the best programs on the...

    Tom Clancys Jack Ryan

    if you have watched Seasons 1 & 2 of this series - Season 3 is premiering on Amazon Prime from the 21st of December so keep a lookout for it wherever you got the first two seasons from i don't want to be accused of spoilers etc - so just watch it if you haven't and i'm saying no more besides...

    okay - just watched this one .... very late comparatively but it is great ...... makes the Tom Cruise movie versions look like "shit gone bad for a month"

    yeah - as far as a season 2 or more goes i say "bring it on"

    The Peripheral

    okay - so i saw episodes 7 and 8 now too and i'm complete with Season 1 - i do hope that they continue on with the plans for Season 2 since it is an entertaining series and IMHO deserves a few more seasons (even if its only one more season but the more the merrier) (y)

    Work headphone advice

    How about because the opening poster already mentioned he has purchased Bose 700s way before you posted the model you prefer ..... so he no longer needs any other headphones ..... though i'm sure if he still did he would probably have considered your suggestion too

    The Peripheral

    thanks for the headsup - it's a great series for science fiction buffs - i binged up to episode 6 overnight - couldn't stop watching - its just like a good book that you can't put down

    TV Experts Needed

    when i purchased my TV i went to a buddy who owns an electronics store - he showed me the various brands and showed me the pro's and cons of each one - he gave me a great discount and thus the difference in price between the Samsung 55" and the Hisense U7H was only R300 - so i should have been...

    out of all bluetooth headphones the Sony ones have the best noise cancelling - not sure what else they would be better at but they also have better features in some instances than most other bluetooth headphones as an example just touching the ear cups on the sony allows you to listen to outside...

    Comptia A+ and more

    Look I did the A+ and N+ ages ago and that was as a precursor to doing the MCSE ..... It seems like all of these qualifications are now pretty outdated - so yes I would speak to a few people who got into the field currently like maybe a year or two ago and and get some guidance as to which...

    Comptia A+ and more

    when i was doing my A+ and N+ it was a fair bit more than just reading ie there was a practical part to it like for example in the A+ assembling and disassembling PCs and troubleshooting etc - i know someone who did an A+ in the self study method around 25 years back and one day after he...

    Home Theater speakers help

    don't worry about that setting - just leave it on the default setting and the speakers and amp will just react to each other naturally like any other amp without that setting does when connected to a pair of speakers ...... there are literally thousands of amp designs without any settings for...

    Home Theater speakers help

    all that is well and good but in regards to being on the same page - the opening poster wanted to add the additional speakers in series just to adjust the impedance that the amp sees which is what i was mostly replying to - it would result in the comb filtering as a disadvantage even though he...

    Home Theater speakers help

    mixing 3 and 8 ohm speakers wont be a problem - only the 8 ohm speakers are going to be pretty soft in comparison - but if you decide to do the setup manually without the autosetup microphone you can lift up the levels of those particular speakers - if you do the autosetup then i reckon the...

    Bass is not when you get a noisy boomy mush of sound - then it lands up just being noise - bass is actually when you can hear the detail in things like bass guitar or kick drums or Tom drums ...... most headphones can give you in game bassy explosions but most of those dont really do much for...

    Looking for a car under R30K

    im also questioning the R30k price range since i know what i bought for R30k in the past ..... R30k now is like spending R500 in 1984 to buy a VW beetle that was falling apart (when i did, the exhaust fell off on the drive home :ROFLMAO: and then it was gonna cost around R2000 to fix up to a...

    why not just port your number and move over to Vodacom - i also use MTN but IMHO they are useless idiots and all these cellphone companies are a much of a muchness ..... which is to say that Vodacom are equal idiots - so it makes no real difference who you are with 🤷‍♂️ but moving to a...

    Black Widow --- I wanted this to be good so badly!

    wow - 5/10 you must have liked it a lot ...... that's around 3 more than i would give it for the entire time that i was watching it i was wondering is this really the movie made in 2021 or is this some older movie masquerading as the one i wanted to watch

    The HD599 isn't too bad either FWIW - as mine are running in, i am enjoying them very much - the Sennies are generally very much a total fun to listen to" type of item - they have that "head bopping" and "toe tapping" factor that is missing from many audiophile grade headies which are more...
