They're in the same price bracket as a lot of basic wireless headsets for gaming, but all the tech is very low quality. Sony's Playstation…

It doesn't, and 8BitDo are pretty up front with this. They had a revision for the Wireless edition that now has Hall effect sticks, but…

Correct call, this stuff is e-waste.

All 3 models are fanless, I'm specifically referring to thermal issues in the M2 design that hindered performance against even the M1…

Weren't there thermal issues with the M2 design anyway? Complete skip as a result when you've got M1 and M3 $200 either side.

If you've not used a welcome deal before or say in the last 12 months then? I'm not sure if there's an exact criteria.

That would be the Welcome deal which is targeted for new and 'lapsed' users, best deal is a few dollars lower again.

A lot of quickly aging bluetooth tech and some older decent wired gear, but all of it is at full price or close enough. Wait for sales.

Still a better passthrough VR headset, and I assume battery packs work. EDIT: looks like they work so long as the battery can still charge…

Sadly despite the OLED happening on this device, unless they substantially update the PC adaptor to give full support, the Quest 3 is the…

Nope, the drivers are assembled in the same sets of EU-based factories, however I can't speak to where the enclosure and headband - the…

Non-pro, a lot better, but different fitment. Pro, marginally better, but less so on an iPhone, and the Airpods Pro 2nd gen have a lot of…

That's fair, this is more an advisement for people considering a new SFF PC build.

Over time you'll see stuff like the 6GB RTX 3050 drop in price, and in the next 6-9 months I'd expect a 4050. That should put a lot of…

> 1x HDMI 2.0b <- able to run 4k 120Hz With chroma subsampling - not DSC - so it would look extremely ugly on any text, and that's 8-bit…

I wholeheartedly agree on the G5 and lower VA models from Samsung, but see them as an outgoing thing rather than ongoing. We're quickly…

Giving you an upvote because you're mostly right with respect to a standard 24" FHD monitor, but you're throwing all VA in the bin again…

PCIE 5.0 and DDR5 would be pretty notable changes too... PCIE 6.0 also a possibility, in time.

This is far from the worst, but it's also been superseded by more recent models, such as the Gigabyte GS27QC, which is on sale at the same…

That's if you get the first month waived - which they don't normally do now - so add another $55.60 or so to that tally. Mediocre deal.

No, not while there's vouchers at this price and above, but you'd want a better deal than this.

> Save the commentary, it takes two to tango. I'm not oversimplifying though. > I am just saying its moronic to compare bluetooth commuter…

So what you're saying is that some people might have different use cases for headphones and headsets to the point where they might own…

Because eventually convenience gets in the way of quality, and thus the overall experience. Bluetooth and ANC have been doing that for a…

> agree the quality of audio isn’t amazingly bassy or ‘full’ sounding all the time I'm more referring to the ability of the headphone…

It's more than Playstation is a separate subsidiary of Sony to Sony Audio, similar to how Samsung TVs and Monitors use Samsung panels, but…

Reddit commentary is extremely unlikely to be reflective of the fault rate. The vast majority of people are likely happy customers, but the…

Makes you wonder what these people are doing with their headsets... it's not like the pads are thin.

A lot of people had longevity issues with the pads, comfort issues, and the sound quality is pretty mediocre even for wireless.

If you're comparing them to bluetooth headphones at the same price or lower, you're correct, but that's a low bar.
