I think the cool kid stance is just actual ownership of the medium at this point, anything that the platform can't yank from your collection as soon as their licensing changes is A-okay.

Also, vinyl is immune to bit-rot, so there's that.

I don't judge what anyone else listens to, but records are better.

Not only are CDs in 16bit, which is noticably lossy - it's a human product. all human made stuff will have mistakes and errors. what about the editing, studio or anything else

The point is you can replay and copy it infinitely many times with no change in quality.

Here I am using BlueTooth headphones that transmit audio trough vibration over my chin bones into my ears covered with ear plugs.

The best of both worlds

can you recommend a good brand? been looking for a good pair of those.

[–] WereCat@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I use Aftershokz and have no experience with any other brand. I had mine for at least 2years the battery lasts me 2 full work days on one charge and are excellent in an environment where you have to use ear plugs due to high noise. They are comfy and I don't have to worry about losing them. They however do make audible "humm" noise when standing near working welding machines. I think for this specific scenario they are absolutely perfect for me however I would never use them for their intended purpose which was outdoors sports. At least not without ear plugs as I find them necessary otherwise the surrounding noise (due to passing cars for example) may easily overpower them. For your typical gardening, walk in a forest, etc... they are fine though even without ear plugs as long as there is not too much surrounding noise. I also find the use of an EQ necessary as I found the base to be too overpowering.

thanks, i appreciate all the other info. part of my job is noisy, so I've been using noise cancelling buds. but I felt like they might damage my hearing over time.

Smooth graph better than steps though maybe ear technology will improve and then you’ll see!
