Thought it was a pretty good question for everyone, so here! I was just curious how everyone's setup for drawing has changed over time, and what their "ideal" setup would be and why, given you had the funds to do so. Or if they're at that stage already, lol. Feel free to share your setup even beyond just your drawing tablet, even programs, your general desktop/mobile setup, or any keypads/misc tools that help your setup work too! And maybe if there was something you regret about your current setup, then that's free to share as well, lmao

For me, I honestly just started out with drawing with a mouse on paint dot net when I was a wee lad. I stuck with drawing with a mouse and going through various programs since then and I've finally landed on Clip Studio Paint to draw. I still use it today, though I started using a screenless tablet (XPPen Deco Pro Gen 2) just to try one out, and I think it's wayyy better than using a mouse. I've also invested in a Tourbox just because it was a bit of a hassle repairing the shortcut remote that came with my tablet every once in a while when the dial started wearing out. I'm pretty happy with my setup as it is, I wouldn't change much about it if I'm being honest, so this would pretty much be my ideal setup! If anything, I'd probably just add in an extra standalone drawing tablet to take with me on the go since I've had moments where I really wanted to draw away from home, but couldn't!

Looking forward to hearing everybody's thoughts!!

Hi there! Been looking to get some recommendations for my first pair of headphones. I've had a handful of IEMs for a while, but I found that they were often a bit fatiguing and painful to my ears after a while, which was unfortunate because I did like them quite a lot.

I'd prefer to keep things around 100 USD, but I can certainly bump up my budget to 150 if there's something great up there. I don't mind buying used ones either. I'm also based in the US, so accessibility shouldn't be too much of an issue to me? I can wait for sales too.

Strictly looking for wired headphones. I'll mainly be using it to listen on a DAP (Hiby M500), and will very likely just be using this at home. I don't mind open or closed back headphones, but leaning towards closed back because of my bassy sound preference. I do prefer a warmer sound (my favorite IEM is the Aful Explorer), as I do have a bit of treble sensitivity. Totally open to EQing if nothing fits the bill quite right.

Something that's comfy for smaller heads is also somewhat of a priority for me.

I might as well get another question out of the way while I'm here. My sibling wanted an option to replace his Sony WF-1000MX5 TWS earbuds because they're pretty much coming to death's door any day now, but didn't want to spend hundreds on another pair. Just something similar to it in sound signature and features under 100USD would be fine. I was thinking about the new Moondrop Pudding, but I wanted to know if anybody else had any other thoughts.

If any other details are needed, feel free to ask me! Thanks a bunch in advance.
