The two best headphones for what I'm looking for, and for my budget, are the BossHiFi B8 and the Takstar Pro 82.
The Takstar is as good as the BossHiFi, but it's not super-easy to change the earpads for the TakStar like it is for the BossHiFi, so that made the choice simple for me.
I have a friend in Saudi Arabia that thinks very highly of me, sent me these for my birthday via DHL Express no less!
Each are approx 29mm x 40mm, one is Mokume Gane (Cu/Br/NiSilver?) and the other is Titanium damascus (Gr 2/ Gr 4) The copper/brass one weighs 228 grams, the Ti one is a mere 115 grams!
Now what, pray tell, shall I do with these beauties?
The Honda EU2200 came today. I put oil in it. Haven’t tested it yet because I have to get fresh gas. I’ve got 1 year old fuel around. I don’t want to mess with that in a brand new generator. I’m sure it’s going to be a winner.
Running it for 60 minutes with a 200 watt load attached. It’s weird that the manual says nothing about break-in. They should have said it’s not needed. Anyway, it’s smooth running and very quiet.
I’ve been looking at Generac whole house generators, but they cost around 6 or 7 thousand dollars installed. I have natural gas, so that would be the ultimate setup for me. Maybe in the next year or so. In the meantime, this will power my fridge, gas heat, and a few LED light bulbs in case of a long-term power outage.
I bought the spinner to play with for 5 minutes, then I will pass it off to my neighbor’s 5 year old son. I’m sure he’ll get a kick out of it. If I really like it, then I’ll buy the better model for myself.
I’ve gotten to really like Senns. They do have the “veil”, which at first I thought I couldn’t get used to, but for long-term listening, it’s quite effective.
“Bright” earmuffs sound great at first, crisp’n’clear, but can grate after a while. Slightly subdued treble like Senns are (in)famous for, I can listen to all day.
Well, on the fidget spinner front, my friend bought this Atesson for me so it was free to me, then I spent $27 on Tungsten weights and bought a top of the line premium grade ceramic hybrid bearing for a ludicrous $43! The tungsten weights are supposed to net 3x longer run times, the bearing, well, don’t know. Better be good for the price, right?
I was just gonna tell my buddy about these fantastic run times I’m getting and not say anything about the expense I’ve gone to in order to get there, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I told him about the upgrade parts that should start arriving tomorrow. lol
