I’m “collecting” headphones, didn’t really have the intention to buy another set of BDs anytime soon. Ugh, here we go again I guess.
If you have a capable driver, the DT-770 Pro @ 250 Ohm are great, affordable headphones.

At least in Germany, what happened is that several local courts upheld a decision to block Pornhub and Youporn. From personal experience, I can tell you there are no practical consequences so far, both sites are perfectly available.
Apparently, it’s Injustice: Gods Among Us
As a big fan of Mister Fate and Zatanna, I love this.
Who says you can’t check their outputs? It’s much faster to e. g. read a generated text than to write everything yourself. Same applies to translations, they’ve been excellent for quite a while now.
Business communication can be handled effortlessly by AI. Of course you read the result before you send it out, but that takes an order of a magnitude less time than formulating and typing all those meaningless sentences.
And honestly, that’s a perfect use case for AI. I wouldn’t compose a love letter to my family using AI, but a pamphlet, feature description, sales pitch, any bullshit presentation deck? You bet AI excels at those.
Same applies to content summaries that help augment search indices. Finding a large number of content candidates (e. g. videos) and have AI summarize the contents of said videos to narrow down the search is helpful and works today.
I’m not looking for AGI. I’m looking for tools to make my life easier, but in an ethical manner that doesn’t advance the destruction of the planet at an exponential rate, just for some tech bro to jerk it and buy another yacht.
Those numbers are baseless exaggerations. There are plenty of tasks which they solve perfectly, today. It’s just that a bunch of dicks operate them, and the cost of operating them are way too high.
Also:
It’s not that they’re not useful, that’s just nonsense.
That happens to be also true
Ah shit. I swear to god, this just happened to me. I came to the comments, confused why a trailer for Outer Wilds 2 would be age-restricted.
Ugh.
But then again, you cleared up my confusion, so I guess there’s that.
If you have ADHD, it’s literally impossible to work without the background distraction.
Tabi aside, what’s with the yellow tips…?
As for the driver: that depends on what you are looking for, i. e. at home / studio use, mobile etc. If you have high-end headphones, you probably also want a high-end DAC / amp.
For desktop use, the Chord Mojo 2 is great, but that’s a $650 investment, and probably not matched with the (still excellent) Beyerdynamic headphones (in terms of what I’d expect people to invest if they’re looking at those headphones).
A portable option (nothing stops you from using it at home though) that also includes Bluetooth (naturally, with LDAC) is the Qudelix 5K, which comes at around $100 and sounds excellent (even better if you fiddle with the EQ in their really decent app).
The higher impedance in itself means nothing at first, apart from the fact that you need more power to drive it. However, if your equipment is well matched, you typically get less distortion at higher volume levels and better treatment of frequencies, i. e. more clarity and better reproduction.
If you find your equipment can’t really drive the higher impedance headphones and you’re not willing to shell out additional funds, the low(er) impedance versions are still great headphones.
