Great noise cancelling and amazing depth in sound. I listen to a lot of metal so that's really important to me. Maybe you can get them cheap some place as there's a 4 out now so I don't think they sell them in the official store anymore.

Comment on Ensiferum – Winter Storm Vigilantes (2024) in ~music
elcuello LinkEnsiferum have always been a great gateway to heavier metal and harsh vocals when you wanna take the plunge from the more main streamy metal. Plus they're just fun.Ensiferum have always been a great gateway to heavier metal and harsh vocals when you wanna take the plunge from the more main streamy metal. Plus they're just fun.

Comment on What have you been listening to this week? in ~music
elcuello LinkSeems like every other month I somehow end up listening to Caladan Brood - Echoes of the Falling. An absolutely masterpiece that is Melodic/Atmospheric Black Metal. Especially Wild Autumn Wind...Seems like every other month I somehow end up listening to Caladan Brood - Echoes of the Falling. An absolutely masterpiece that is Melodic/Atmospheric Black Metal. Especially Wild Autumn Wind takes my breath away.
Furthermore I found Sworn - Grand Eclipse in my saved folder on Spotify and you know that feeling that if it's there it's because it's good but you have no recollection to why or when you made this decision? Well, I listened to it and halfway through it made perfect sense. What an epic journey and finish. This whole album I came to learn just slaps. Great aggressive powerful vocals, energetic guitars mixed with lovely dreamy synth.
I also revisited Mark Knopfler - The Studio Albums. I've loved this mans music and his guitar for as long as I can remember and I'm continuously impressed how he manages to release so much high quality music. Knopflers whole presence just oozed music and feeling.
Last mention is Thy Catafalque - A gyönyörű álmok ezután jönnek. Latest single and these Hungarian guys keeps popping up through the years and I love the energy and melody combined with some shoe gaze elements. -

I’ve always been enthralled by simple words or expressions that encapsulates a very complex emotion or meaning but imagine if we had a language that took advantage of all these nuances at the same time. Not just hints here and there but fully incorporated body movements, facial expressions, words, tone and so on. I know there’s an argument to be made that we already do this to a certain extent but still.
That leads me to another wondering. Are we even ready to understand each other that much? -

I feel like every time these thing pup up (and it’s been a lot lately) it’s a thinly veiled jab at Musk. By all means fuck him up but this disingenuous way is rubbing me the wrong way. Also if this tire thing really is a huge problem in general - well then I was just wrong.
Agreed. I just bought them too a couple of months ago and love the sound. I’m having trouble with the tips as they don’t seal my ears canals enough and it creates a lot of noise when I bike. It’s my ear canal that’s strange I think so I’ve ordered some Comply tips and hope they do the trick.
