I'm glad you've got a good thing going with your Diana and your U12T! IEMS were never my favorite space but it's nice to see a lot of new options for them, both hi-end and chi-fi.
It's such a special little feeling when the upwards climb of technohoarding stops and you settle into a nice walk of 'eh, who cares if there's better? I'm happy with what I've got'.
I know I'm not shaking up any hives with this one, but I've gotten Aryas and I haven't really looked back since.
Had a couple of models before-- the titular starpower Sennys and Beyers, and some Sony commercial models, but ever since I started using Aryas, I...
Stopped. Looking for headphones..
The cable they come with may be pure dogwater and Hifiman QC forever sketch, but nothing else really can buy the feeling of just listening to music without getting all knocked on listening to the headphone.
What IS gonna ruffle some feathers is that my Campfire Cascades are a close second. They're bassy and wide-sounding and built like a tank, and just their sheer portability + fun sound for EDM make me eat up their more annoying features like their cabling or their silly goddamn headband. Not a lot of headphones gave me the security that I could drop them and they'd live quite like BASScades.
Well, are MLMs dead? Audible book spamming? The nigerian prince scam? Hell, mail scams are still running to this day.
As long as there's a hook, I doubt cryptomoney scams are going to be leaving any time soon. It is rare we'll see scams of the same magnitude as before, but they'll always be around in those sorts of communities. Just a matter of principle, whenever money's involved.
You could probably go back to buying pokemon cards, though. The fact that crypto's greatest investors have a vested interest in not having their cash vanish into thin air, it's best used for it's purpose-- as currency-- unless another FTX fumbles the bag.
