iPhone XS vs. iPhone XR? Torn...

Pulling this up to confirm the OLED models still utilize PWM flicker @ brightness below ~ 75ish % ? Any 8 Plus users who moved to XR have “transition” advice? No 3D Touch will be the biggest I think...lack of headphone jack and AAC Bluetooth will necessitate some sort of USB-C or lightning...

anyone else here have an Ikea Bekant desk?

Yeah, there’s really no good solution to the problem. Tho, I would have liked to see the Bekant include a third leg set perpendicular to the others along the far, rear, straight edge of the table. Also, two poles on the shorter leg and three poles on the longer leg instead of just the one would...

If you’re referring to the corner desks, yes, absolutely. I believe the actual table top is thinner on the Bekant. The corner Bekant has 2 legs, whilst the corner Galant had three. The Galant wasn’t perfect as far as stability is concerned and I never thought to wedge it between a couple...

I know I'm 3 years late to the game, but just wanted to share my solution... https://imgur.com/a/3AsbI After "securing" the Bekant by pushing the feet as far as I could towards the walls, I pulled the desk up and towards the wall...letting it sort of scrape down the wall. The results are...

Poor signal on HDTV Antenna

Just in the last week or so I have noticed my reception went into the toilet. I haven't moved the antennas...but know I get half the channels and BARELY get CBS now...only a big deal cause of the football games. REALLY wish CBS Chicago would UHF it up. :(

Quality attachable mic for headphones?

I had the 1.0 and even that was MILES above a Zalman I had been using. I would also advise unidirectional so only your voice is heard. Omnidirectional will make using "voice activated" modes difficult.

Any recommendations on speakers for smaller setups? (gaming)

Just like everybody else, the Klipsch can be had for $99 on sale. You can put the sub elsewhere. But if this is just for gaming and you can't do a true 5.1, I would seriously consider headphones.

Poor signal on HDTV Antenna

I had the Mohu leaf amped and it was balls. I ended up with this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BN5Z2WM/ Also, placement matters. For example, mine does best behind the TV, 3 feet from ceiling. At 1 foot from ceiling I had some issues. The only problem with this antenna is a lack of...

Decent cheap 50" 1080p TVs? Say under $700, Best Buy

This, so much this! I tried a Samsung 60" J6200 and within 30 minutes my eyes were bleeding. Another hour and I had an epic headache. For kicks I gave it another hour and was done for the day. It took 8 hours to get rid of the pain. Had I checked rtings, I would have seen it's a PWM panel...

Just got my first pair of good IEMs (Westone W60). What else do I need?

These: http://www.earphonesolutions.com/shure-pa910-5-pair-olive-eartips-for-shure-westone-klipsch-and-etymotic.html For reference, the red or black TRUE FIT foam tips included in the Westone kit fit me and I use medium Shure Olives. I don't feel like they isolate as well, but they do sound...

Going to test out some IEMs. Taking requests?

I have some Westone UM Pro 30's and I cannot stand them. On the one hand they're exceptionally clear and detailed. However, the low end is too much and the high end is too little. My "fix" has been to use the treble booster EQ on an iPhone, but that can mess with other things. I do think I'm...

Best Comfortable Earbuds

LG Tone Ultra...SOOO nice not having to deal w/ cords while riding the bike...SOOO nice. Oh yes, they sound fine to my ears. Well worth the $75 or so IMO. Noise cancellation does nothing for me, but there's plenty of low end for a bud.
