Could they dethrone the A50X…

- Turtle Beach Stealth Pro 2 -

I love my Astro a50x, (especially as I got them free due to an Amazon error lol), but saw these and I adored the features like the swappable batteries, separate Bluetooth volume and the bigger cups and drivers.

I’ll be testing them myself tomorrow, but has anyone else tried the 2, and what were your thoughts.

If the only difference between the two, is just mic quality, then I’ll probably keep the Stealths and sell the a50’s. It’ll come down to music performance, and fps performance.

Should I get the Stealth Pro 2???

So I currently own the Astro A50X (long story short I got it for free…). I absolutely love them, they’re genuinely, to me, near perfect. However there’s a couple things that I’ve noticed the Stealth Pro 2 do, that I wish the Astros did.

  1. The battery system. The charging dock is great, however, I’ve not got a conventional gaming set up, it’s a tv, with the Xbox etc all on the opposite wall (including the dock), so most of the time I’m using the headphones wireless, until I just plug them in to charge.

The swappable batteries on the TB seem wayyyy more convenient for my situation.

I could put the Astros on the dock every now and then, but I’m in the habit of just putting them on a wall mounted holder atm.

  1. The larger ear cups/drivers. The sound of the Astros is excellent, and I can really pin point players in games like Siege, but in games like BF6, it’s not the most immersive sound overall.

With the TB being 60mm drivers, I was wondering how spacious they actually sound to people who’ve experienced both headphones??

Also the Astros whilst comfy, defo do show their smaller size after a good few hours of gaming.

My only worries are:

Mic quality (the Astros are insanely good)

Turtle Beaches older build quality

Software updates, are the headphones now working as advertised, as I did see something about them needing future updates

Is TikTok fyp broken for people??

So far the past week, my feed has been full of the following:

- One genre of video on repeat (Marvel edits, which I like but every single one has got about 20-30 likes, and you can see why)

- Topics I’m not interested in at all, again, with about 20-30 likes

- Not one single advert at all. Which is good, but I’d rather have a proper fyp with ads than one without.

Not even getting those weird AI videos now, it’s just mid content with no interest or quality now

Spotting fake booster bundles

Always see people talk about spotting fakes of booster bundles by looking at the seal or other things, but it’s not always that obvious.

Not sure I’ve seen it mentioned before, but there’s a much easier way to notice it.

The lettering for “Pokemon Company” on the bottom of the box should be bold, but also the “C” should be quite straight where it should curve.

Take the 3 photos, and the middle one you can see the letter “C” in ‘Pokemon Company International’ is more straight than curved. The seals look more obvious in these examples tbf, but if there’s one where the seal looks near perfect, always look out for the font on the ‘C’ and that’s the definite giveaway.

Multiverse HELP!

Recently saw a VERY good diagram of how the multiverse works/timelines etc, and I can’t find the photo.

It basically had a very dumbed down, drawn out diagram that made understanding the multiverse/doom/timelines wayyyy easier. Wanting it for my gf as she’s struggling to understand it all.

If anyone has that pic of the diagram sort of thing I’d be VERY appreciative because it’s genuinely the only diagram I’ve seen that makes it easy to understand lol.

Upgrading to Ultimate Plus from Ultimate?? Fc27

Asking this question for a mate who’s in the situation.

He pre ordered the base ultimate version, but recently wants to upgrade it to the plus version. It’s saying it’s £90 to upgrade. Shouldn’t it be £40 with the price difference between ultimate and ultimate plus?

Or is it easier for him to just cancel the order entirely and pre order ultimate plus as a whole?

IMAX Enhanced Disney+ Films???

Just been watching through the MCU films to get my gf up to speed in time for Doomsday, and couldn’t help but notice that none of the films actually expanded to imax despite most if not all had the IMAX enhanced label?

Is this an APTV issue or a Disney+ issue?

For reference I’m using LG CX tv

Is this a Panic or Anxiety attack???

So recently, probably over the past year or so, there’ll be week where daily, I’ll have this issue, but also spans of about 2 or so months where I have nothing at all.

It’ll build up really quick, and then last about 10-20 seconds. In that time I get like nerves of some kind, and always have what feels like Déjà vu type visions of something. But like stuff I’ve seen in dreams, or nightmares or just a repeat of the same type of stuff over and over again. And these visions are very visible in my head, as I said like Déjà vu, I can guess what’s happening sort of until it stops.

When it stops, it’ll always leave me feeling relieved, not worried about a thing and feeling calm. But usually with a headache. When it happens, I also bite the knuckles on my hand, but no pain and feels numb.

It’s so hard to describe, but it’s always pure worry when it’s happening, then instant relief and calm after. So for example, if I’ve been stressing about money some point that week or day (which I really don’t need to), then after an ‘episode’ happens, I’ll not worry at all and realise I was daft to worry in the first place.

Appreciate any help anyone could give me here🙏

Brand New Day Spoilers???

By the title I mean, are there any major spoilers in the film? Currently on a watch through of every marvel film with my gf, getting her up to speed for doomsday (I am up to speed), but she has seen all the spider man films. So going to see BND tomorrow, and wondering if there are any spoilers of any previous marvel film? We’re currently on Ant Man 1 for reference!

Current Window for City

Is this the most uncertain start to a window we’ve had in years??? I mean obviously bound to happen with a new manager, but never seen so many rumours and potential signings/exits:

- Rodri to Madrid
- PSG no enquiring about Rodri

- City in for Diomande
- City no longer active in pursuing Diomande
- Madrid now want Diomande

- City in for Vini
- Vini no longer leaving
- Arsenal now in for Vini

- City interested in Enzo Fernandez
- Fernandez no longer wanting to leave
- Fernandez now a possibility to leave

- Tonali on shortlist for City
- Tonali signs for Spurs

And out of all these, the most frustrating one is that Savinho is STILL employed at Manchester City Football Club

Spanish Excellence

If you had told me then, that from this picture, 2 would start and carry their team to a World Cup trophy, and the other 2 would come on and make a massive impact to the game (including scoring), I’d have laughed at you.

Think it’s safe to say that Spanish players have overtaken our Argentinian players now no?

Best ‘season vibes’ of a show?

As I’ve got into watching more TV Shows, and as a result rewatching them with my partner/watching reaction videos to them, it made me realise and appreciate the different vibes in each season of these shows. And actually hits me with pure nostalgia looking back at them.

And I’m not talking about ‘best season’, just the one you miss the most from when you first watched the show.

For me, the vibes of season 1 of Dexter are probably my favourite of any show ever. I don’t know what it is about it, whether it’s the first intro to the area, the music, the cinematography etc. it’s all just so perfect to me.

I know a lot of this is due to everyone being at their happiest. Dexter, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Vikings, Walking Dead etc.

So what would everyone’s favourite ‘vibe’ of a season of a show be???

DICE PLEASE TEST RANGE!

Something I really miss in this game, that I genuinely put so many hours into when just waiting for friends to get on, or to try setups etc, was the Test Range in BF4. It was so fun. The one in BFV was also excellent, although a little poor with the spawn point being ages away from all the separate areas. But the BF4 one was perfect. And it’s such a simple thing to add.

I get we have portal, but because it’s customer made and not official servers etc. it’s not alway the smoothest.

PulseTCG question…

Is there anyway to see other people’s portfolios without paying £10 a month? The apps brilliant, but I’m wanting to trade with some of my mates, and didn’t find a way how to apart from screenshotting (long), or just telling each other the cards we have.

Reply box glitch/bug???

Has anyone experienced, or knows how to fix this box from staying up after replying to a tweet/comment?? It’s doing my head in and has done for months now. When you click on the text box, it brings up the picture/post behind.

Would this trade be fair

Pretty sure both cards are valued the same, but wondering if this would be a fair trade? I got the Gardevoir, however I’m currently doing the legendary bird page, and the mosaic would fit the page perfectly.

What would I likely be able to borrow for a house, at 25?

So not now, but in a years time I’ll be looking at moving out. This would be my financial situation then:

- £36,500 Salary
- Good credit score
- £30k - £35k available as a deposit (obviously wouldn’t put the entire amount in to keep a little spare)
- £2,450 take home a month

However, I wouldn’t be moving in alone, I’d be moving with my partner who herself lives in a flat atm due to university, but this is where the difficulty comes:

She did a DMP, which has potentially made her completely unavailable to be added.

Obviously with her, we’d get a higher borrowing amount, however, would also come with far higher interest, or even not get accepted whatsoever.

So basically;

Is it worth having her on the mortgage to increase the borrowing amount, but risk higher interest?

Or not have her on, and really limit the availability of what housing we could get? And how much could I borrow on my own?
