No. I wouldn't give a non-OLED monitor houseroom. I'd perhaps consider a non-OLED monitor if I did some kind of heavy productivity workflows with static UI elements; but my systems are strictly for entertainment, so no.

I'm not sure I'd want to downgrade to the Nova Pro; though from the user reviews, it's certainly a competent option. I was originally after something a bit more audiophile; but high-end options like the Focal Bathys didn't seem to work well (Bluetooth rather than Wifi, etc); and I wasn't willing...

You're presumably not going to be using your sound card for anything. The headphones have onboard amplification; and the sound output device will itself be the Audezee USB dongle; not the sound card. Therefore, all adjustment is in the Audezee software. Main thing to watch out for is planar...

Sony recently bought Audeze. One assumes the driver tech is from them.

People think it's just like Ace Combat; and fighter jets -and the support apparatus to enable their use- are as common as the Vauxhall Corsa.

I think you've outlined exactly how it does it. Not all civilian shipping is exactly as it seems. China could be testing global, sub-threshold capabilities; particularly by using "dual-use" assets that aren't going to elicit the same sort of suspicion as -say- a Chinese naval deployment all the...

Indeed. The CAS mission basically isn't a thing in this war. Too many/capable air defence systems around, with few effective counters. Neither the Ukranians nor the Russians seem to be good at SEAD/Wild Weasel; whether due to tactics, doctrine, or integration of equipment (Ukraine has HARM, but...

Agree, nothing worse that What Hi Fi's so-called "reviews". These are the guys who talk about cables sounding "airy" or "warm".

Yeah, the Dolby Atmos license appeals; as does compatibility with the proprietary Xbox wireless system. I'll make it work with PS5 somehow.

I assumed they'd be terrible (they seem to be going for as little as £152 on Amazon; reduced from £400). But yeah, the Maxwell seems like a solid choice. Out of stock everywhere; but I've now preordered the Xbox version (which I understand I might also be able to get working on my PS5).

Seems like a good shout. I'd have been willing to pay more for a bit more; but -as you say- these seem like the only wireless option.

Hi folks, I currently have the Sennheiser RS175s; which I use for single player gaming in my setup (I plug the wireless base station into my AVRs headphone jack when I want to use headphones). However, they're starting to disintegrate and I fancy an upgrade. I tried the Focal Bathys, but they...

Believe it or not; I ended up with a ROG X16 Flow. The form factor appealed to me. Yeah, it’s “only” a 4070, but the screen is amazing and I really enjoy the convertible aspect. For serious gaming, I’ll use my main system.

Hi folks, I’ll likely be buying a new gaming laptop soon. I’ve had a couple of Razer Blades before. They both developed the same fault; whereby the glue on the rubber feet on the underside seem to melt off. Unacceptable given the price. Looking at the 2023 range, they seem to have moved away...

You have fun stalking me on other forums, aye? ;)

Could be. I’m thinking specifically about the Bowers & Wilkins house sound, being one of the more “popular” ones (as I’ve been victim to that sadly); but yes, could be anything. Wouldn’t recommend the really old Kefs as they’re very “of their day” in terms of form factor (and possibly general...

1. “House sound” is typically what you call a “California curve”. Boosted bass and treble; recessed mids. Not flat. Looks like a smiley-face on a graph. Designed to sound superficially pleasing with music in a showroom; and perhaps this might be user preference in a dedicated 2 channel system...

It’s hardly worth listening to people who insist that there are no differences between speakers. It’s likely that most of them are people who buy an overpriced, sub-par product, get buyers remorse and claim it’s “jUsT aS gOoD”. Depends on the source. If you’re listening to ***** material with a...

Nonsense. Were that the case; we’d all be running Bose or similar. We measure for the same reason that we might measure displays or benchmark a GPU; in order to get away from the abject snake-oil put-out by the likes of What Hi-Fi, etc. As for a waste of money: Not at all, it’s often the case...

The only thing that on-wall placement does is reinforce the lower end/room gain; which of course, for this type of speaker is a necessary evil. The main reason why these are ill-suited to home cinema duty isn’t that they lack down-low (that’s par for the course; and obviously you add subwoofers...
