Looking for OLED and at least 400 nits of brightness. Refresh rate not super important. Really looking at something with an 880m or Intel 140v iGPU. 24 GBs of ram minimum.

I loved the sound. When you put them on just right they sounded fantastic and I never wanted to use any other wireless headphones for music or some TV.

Everything else about them kinda sucked. The noise cancelling was inconsistent and made hissing and whooshing noises. When it works it was great when it didn't I was better leaving it turned off.

The app was quite good I really liked it and felt it was laid out well.

The head detection was garbage. It would go off when I adjusted the headphones.

Comfort and material quality was bad for how expensive these are. They held onto my head quite well, but we're much less comfortable than I liked. It felt very cheap. It doesn't need to be metal, but high quality plastics are important. It didn't feel very durable.

To end, I returned them. At the right price these would be worth it, but not at it's current price. I am going back to IEMs for my gaming and music on the go. For flights my Sony WH1000 XM6s stays in rotation.

Really great powerful processor. I was able to compile code really fast and run games pretty well.

The big issue is I had in the space of three days of heavy use 5 BSODs. I did recommended troubleshooting (I work in IT operations). Drivers, SFC/DISM, and even tried disabling a few settings like memory integrity. Nothing worked so I'm returning it.

I did generally like the device I think I got a bad unit. I also realized it didn't have enough ram for me. I need at least 24 GBs. I though 16 would be fine for my use cases, but emulation of x86 apps uses a lot.

I am thinking about getting an A16 instead, but also looking at intel X7 laptops.

Curious what everyone thinks. I really like my Pixel Fold and prefer the wider aspect ratio for the inner screen. It works well for managing my home servers, browsing the web, looking at spreadsheets, and content.

My location is less than ideal for doing sound panels. I have my kitchen hall and a big window. Completely blacking out the window isn't an option for my window as my cat loves to sit there, but I want blackout curtains for the window and some sort of acoustic curtain for my hall and kitchen to deaden sound reflections.

Confirmed both dongle and controller were on the latest firmware and tried it again with no luck. Bluetooth works fine, but I'd rather use the dongle as that is lower latency and more reliable in my experience.

I had no issues with other controllers like my 8Bitdo Ultimate 2c or my Vader 4 pro.

I tried my MX Ergo which is not currently my main trackball and while it fit, it did not fit well. I found several traditional mice fit in certain pockets better, but not my trackball.

They got an LG C5. The built-in speakers aren't bad, but lack subbass and clarity. Honestly way better than I expected.

It would be tough to get the ok on a 5.1 system due to the satellites, but I think I can talk them into a 2.1 system.

What are some good options? RTINGS doesn't really have a filter for this.

My Dad seems really into Sonos which are decent options, but the beam isn't going to fix the sub bass and isn't very loud. The arc and arc ultra seem decent, but are expensive.

I really enjoy the Hisense system I have, but that is 5.1 and not as great for music. Additionally the sub is kinda small. It does a good job, but could be better.

I would love any recommendations.
