Whatever happened to them. They were great live

A couple of things to think about as there are a few factors to consider as to what makes a good pair. It's quite individual and subjective as it's not only headphone frequency response but also how comfortable they are for long periods on your head. Considering "sound staging" which is quite affected by your DAC (Digital Audio Converter) and Amplifier (these can be the same thing or not) and a microphone and it gets complex.

The best option is always to have a seperate headphone dac/amp and this gives a lot of flexibility and longevity. Even the cheapest dac and or amp will be better than the 0.5c part in the headphone cable for a converter.

Yes you can also get fancy gaming headphones that try and provide surround sound. These work to some degree but it will depend on your head shape, OS & Drivers and whether the game is able to provide suitable audio output tuned for them.

AKG/Sennheiser/Beyerdynamics are all good headphone options.

TLDR: Ideally go and listen to a few and figure out what you like and what's comfortable. Depending on your budget you can add more stuff or maybe this is your entry in. For mic testing, they should be able to plug into your phone, try them with a test call in teams/zoom/discord and hear what your voice sounds like.

Open the ports and look. Probably running cat5e everywhere as easy and just using blue/white for phone.

If you want to use you will need to figure out each cable run as they are probably twisted in parallel so you get phone everywhere.

You may have to do some creative networking. Couple of small switches where most of the cables come back to but it could save trying to get access to run new cables.

You will need both an electrician or someone who can terminate to rj45 sockets and then someone who can map that out and design a network.

I am getting prompts from the script for “Your Amazon Oath”

Any idea where I can actually find/download this ?

I found it painful keeping track of what cable could do what and some screens/drives were picky.

I have nothing to do with it this but bought one. (I also have a cheap one that’s more generic but doesn’t give anywhere near the same amount of information on cable health.)

Seconded. Mint with Timeshift setup. Ideally separated drive dedicated to this but you could make a partition.

With auto daily/weekly/monthly options and versioning you are pretty safe unless she has an axe.

I would also setup RustDesk so you can help if needed. But visits are nice depending on cookies and distance

Depends on if you are after the caffeine or a cool, refreshing drink. Most decent herbal teas ice up very well. Adding one to regular Ceylon tea can sweeten it up depending on what you picked.

Personally we use Pukka but there are others. Don’t want to drop any links as the more generic ones were all Amazon but a quick search should get you going.

If you want to do the learning and the work then unraid is a pretty sweet solution. It will be as good as your hardware and has lots of apps and decent forums.

Appreciate the clarification. I am not getting time to play for a few weeks yet but was trying to get something for my brother as he was deeply into the game a few years back but didn’t want to come back till it “was done”.

 

I only just noticed this option for sorting my feed. I do have a reasonably curated selection of large and small and using “scaled” gives the results I would expect across them all.

Give it a go.
