Looking for $50 headphones

Hey there. My Samson SR850 barely works anymore with the left ear fluctuating its connection, and I do not have time to get a repair, so I'm looking for $50 / Php. 3,100 open-back headphones for music.

Additionally, I'm in the Philippines and there are good deals in Shopee, mostly Philips SHP9500 being cheap, although I'm looking for other options if SHP9500 ended up being terrible.

I'm unsure about the tonal balance since I used the auto EQ to fix the stock sound anyway.

Songs that give The Magnus Archives feel

I think "Monster" by Noisia is pretty fitting for the TMA anthem, because of the sample before the drop that says:

"The most mysterious, inexplicable and incredible events often take place in the most ordinary place

Usually these seemingly unexplainable occurrences are eventually explained

But every so often they remain mysteriously incredible"

In other words, I'm looking for TMA fans who are into drum and bass. What are the songs you listened that give off The Magnus Archives feel?

Is it just me or is saying "just call me a slur" weird as fuck in response to the word "neurospicy"?

It's probably like this:

"Just call me a slur instead of neurospicy"

*Does it anyway*

"No, not like that"

This applies to other people asking them to call them a slur when words like "Filipinx" existed, and enabling ableists by asking that over "neurospicy" is a shit idea. I've seen a lot of people on social media complaining about it. I don't know that's just me.

Quitting Windows for MacOS + Linux cold turkey

Hello, I've been using Arch Linux for several months and I have a few thoughts on this topic. Are there anyone here who uses MacOS + Linux from Windows in their machines cold turkey? I know alternatives exist on Linux, but there are other programs like Adobe, Affinity and DaVinci Resolve that work on MacOS.

I wasn't happy with Resolve on Linux due to lack of H264/H265 support, I tested AffinityOnLinux, but there is a noticeable delay when drawing with a mouse. Instead, I could've gone to MacBook Neo or Air, if Win/Mac compatible apps are for me, as long as I could afford.

Dual booting doesn't count, so there are people who outright switched from Windows and never looked back, and is it just me or are there content creators complaining about Windows being butchered by "Microslop" situation for their engagement, even though they're using Windows off-screen?

One example I can think of is using MacOS for productivity or work, and Linux for gaming, if you don't mind not playing kernel anti-cheat games.

While waiting for Timekeeper Cookie to be in CRK, what songs remind you of them?

I listened to "Blastin" by Subtronics and it exactly sounds like Timekeeper for the melody.

If price isn't concern, I've been meaning to invest a pair of PNW boots from brands like Nicks and Drews for my outfit and durability, but the problem is that a shipping fee from US to Philippines can be expensive (e.g, The USPS Priority Mail International fee from Nicks costs $132) when I filled out my address, and I expect low to none import duties and taxes.

Any recommendations that can be seen on retail or handmade in the PH? Thanks.
