I just got a pair of the openrun2 pro and they are beautiful and exactly what I wanted! The problem is that I start getting headaches after I've worn them for only 20 minutes. Is this a thing that improves, like I just need to get used to it? Or have people found this doesn't improve if you start getting headaches in general? I'm guessing it's the bone conduction but I'm not sure.

Some very silly and basic questions. My audiologist recommended I get a set of these but wondering if it's worth it or if I should wait for a possible Pro 3 in 2027?

And I'm torn on the light blue or the silver. If you got either of those, how do you like them? I think the blue is so beautiful but silver would go with more things.

Thanks!

Has anyone else gotten their Weeks or A5 and also got covers? The weeks cover that came with mine is thick and sort of cloudy, and the A5 sleeve doesn't fit at all despite being ordered together. Just very bizarre! (The planners themselves are perfect though!)

I usually use a Weeks-style planner (Hobonichi, Aura Estelle, etc) but I want to use an undated this year and to use the back pages as journal pages. I saw someone do a video about fitting everything into a Weeks Mega and that super appeals to me! But I worry a Weeks is not going to be big enough for my handwriting in that sense...and so I considered a TN, but I've never used them. Has anyone made this switch and felt the TN was helpful/more roomy or did you go back to the Weeks?

For reference, trying to decide between Soft Paper Studio's undated weeks (with lots of back pages) or Sterling Ink's N1 or N2.

I know you all see these posts quite a lot. I'm looking for a personal bag to carry around and saw these hold up very well. The idea is to bring my journals, maybe my ipad when needed for work/projects, and personal items as I have a couple of medical issues. I was looking at the Small or Medium cafe bag but then saw someone talking about the Side Hustle or the Maker's bag.

I don't think I need the Maker's bag, that seems like a lot. But I'm also concerned that the cafe bags don't have any kind of material to soften the top or bottom and to protect a tablet (though it'd be fine for books and such). If anyone has the Small or Medium cafe bag, how do you keep items inside safe? I saw on the website there's some kind of organizer...? And does the bag flop around too much?

And if you have a Side Hustle, how do you like it?

Hey there! I've been looking for a personal bag to take to work, doctors, and out and about. Ideally, to work it would fit an ipad (A16, forget the measurements), A5 and/or Traveler's notebook, earbuds or headphones (Sony XM5), pens, and a few other minor things. I've looked on the website and it looks like Gabb and Gabbie are the same besides some measurements, but I can't decide. I've looked at the "what can I fit in the bag" and all of that stuff seems impossible by pictures...but I am also a very, VERY bad judge of size based on online visuals.

If you've had either of these models and/or sizes, how did you like them? Would they fit what I just said? And how bulky does it look on you/how far does it come? Again, I've looked at pictures but would rather to hear from experience. This is my first time ever hearing about this brand.

Thanks!

Hey there! Does Kinbor restock anything or is this the only batch we'll have. New to trying Kinbors... I saw some comments in previous posts that they do a sale in September/October and then at another time, but wasn't sure if that was after a restock or not. Just trying to gauge what I want to get before the prices skyrocket.

Hello! I'm thinking of taking the plunge into Kinbor this year. Is there anywhere to go to get good pics of the inside of the A5/A6?

Also, if you are someone who used Stalogy or Hobonichi Cousin and then swapped to Kinbor, how is the paper? Do you prefer the Cousin's daily layout or the Kinbor? And finally, the outside cover of the A5/A6 offerings, what kind of material are they? Recycled leather, plastic, hardcover?

Thanks!

Hey there, everyone! I have been using blank notebooks for a few years now after I tried a Hobonichi Cousin and I didn't really use it. I felt like I had too much space to write things and I couldn't think of what to journal but, at the same time, felt it was a little cramped. I used a knockoff Weeks this year strictly for health/food/mental health/journaling and need more space.

If you've gone from A5 (or weeks) to B6, did you like it? Do you feel like there's enough room? Or did you go back to one of the other sizes? I don't want to spend a lot of money on a planner only to find the size doesn't work for me.

Thanks!

Weird question but does anyone know how to swap back over to bluetooth after you're in sleep mode? I was listening to a podcast, fell asleep, woke up at 4am and wanted to swap back over to the podcast and couldn't find any way to flip it from local to bluetooth after it had already swapped over. I'm likely missing something but any help would be awesome. Thanks!

Hey everyone,

My partner is sick with something (unsure if she ate something bad or potentially something else) and I wanted to ask what the usual Covid symptoms are these days. Sore throat, coughing, congestion/runny nose, lack of appetite... Those were mine a few years ago when I got it. Is anyone seeing any nausea, migraine, sensitivity to light? Even if not, what ARE we seeing out there?

Thanks!

Hey there,

I'm looking for hook/clip earbuds or headphones that don't clamp for use at work and at the gym (ideally, though if it's budget-friendly, I can get one for each activity). I was originally using the BANIGIPA Bluetooth Headset with Microphone at work (no ANC but good mic for calls and meetings) and now they're not working. Rather than get a new set or an upgrade, I'm shopping around especially with Prime Day deals. What I'm looking for:

- Comfort clips or hook around ears
- Ideally ANC but I can live without
- Good microphone for calls
- Decent music for use at the gym

I was looking at the Soundcore Aerofit 2 Pro but I've watched some reviews and it seems like the mic isn't great in louder environments like an office, but that's sort of the model I'm looking for (I just don't know if one would classify them as buds or headphones). Any thoughts are appreciated, I'd like to keep them around $100 but under $200 is fine. Thanks!

Hey there,

Was recently diagnosed with Celiac. I'm waiting on general recommendations from my doctor but I was originally on a high fiber, high protein, low carb diet (low carb as in 60g of net carbs with 30g fiber). Any recommendations on low carb or high fiber foods or products?

Thanks!

Really just looking for some detailed experiences for a few items. I've trawled the Reddit and just see a lot of back and forth experiences re: comfort and whatnot. So...

Soundcore a30 special - I see a lot of videos about the non-special buds and not as much comparing a30 special to things non-branded buds, Somnipods 3, etc. Does Soundcore have an app with any kind of extra subscription that's optional? How good is the sleep tracking? My ears are also sensitive, so does anyone with sensitive or small ears have these and are they comfortable? Are the sounds offered for "white noise" decent and good at looping?

Somnipods 3 - same basic questions about sensitive and small ears, are they comfortable? I've heard the looping on the offered sounds sucks and that the app is not great, and they want you to pay for a sub for the app, etc. If you used another brand before Somnipods, did it end up being better or do you regret the purchase?

Lastly, if anyone knows of sleepmasks with sound in them for sleeping...but that they don't overheat or make your head hot? I'm looking for some for a friend who has dysautonomia and she overheats majorly. She had a normal one and it worked fine but she needs the music/sound feature and a lot of these masks are expensive, so I want to make a good purchase for her.

Thanks!

Hey there! This is just me wondering about Hashimoto's and inflammation. When you were diagnosed with Hashi's, did you also have a high CRP (c-reactive protein)? Like, does Hashi's count as something creating antibodies enough to show up on a test, or would it not count? I've been working with my doctor and have read up online but I don't see Hashi's as a reason this could be happening, it's usually RA and Lupus, etc. So just wondering if this happened to you!

(Not medical advice - like I said, I have a doctor who's helping me, but she hasn't worked with someone with Hashi's specifically and is looking into referrals, so this is just my curiosity). Thanks!

Hey there, strange request.

I've been having some various medical issues that I won't go into but I keep looking for pajama shorts that go all the way to the knee or a little lower, but that are actually comfortable. All of the ones I'm finding at plus size places are mid-thigh or they're long but in an uncomfortable fabric for the heat. Anyone know where I can find something? Much appreciated!

Hey there! If you got an Iridescent Switch, can you show me? Mine just arrived but the color looks almost cracked on the inside? But maybe that's how it's supposed to look. I'd like to compare.

Thanks!

Hey there! I know gyms are not overly safe in general for Covid precautions because of volume and whether a location has good air filtration... What are people doing for workouts, strength building, etc. that feels safe for you? A friend of mine has gotten Covid twice by being at the gym, even masked, so I've been avoiding going to one.

I walk but I feel like I need more, and I don't feel comfortable bringing a portable air filter with how people may react. I mask anywhere and everywhere, but I know that's not 100%. Thoughts and advice?

Looking to read something where the main FL is a little bit unhinged in some way but still competent. So a FL who is any of the following: obsessive/possessive, manipulative, powerful physically/magically/emotionally/politically... Calculating, maybe someone who's gone through trauma and was revived and has changed drastically from someone who was sweet to someone far more careful and cutting.

Some examples would be, say, Medea from Your Throne or Roxana from Roxana. I would even throw in Hildegard from Spark in Your Eyes (as someone who is protective of her people, powerful, etc). I'm open to any genre and romance subplot is not needed.

Thanks!
