I've never had leather earpads before, but I feel like they would get super sweaty. Do they do that?

Also, do they change the sound at all?

6XX on a Schitt stack is like THE entry level audiophile deal of the last several decades. I've suggested that to so many people, all of whom still daily drive and are still happy with it.

I, too, have a pair of 800Ss. Even with EQ, have you ever gotten them to have any sort of slam? Or are they truly incapable of that?

Man I remember when those came out. Heck of a headset, even today.

As a kid growing up, my grandparents gave my brother (older) and I each some nice headphones. He got Sennheiser 595s, and I don't know what I got, But I liked them a lot and brought him to school in my backpack one time.

Don't put full sized over ear headphones in backpacks. They break.

My parents bought me a replacement. Sony MDR-V600. I didn't know how shitty those were for a very long time.

They are not the same as the Sony MDR-V6, but I honestly don't know how different since I've never heard the V6. There's a pretty big price difference and the V6s have way better reviews.

I miss my V600s. I still have them, but their fabrics are in shreds just from age, and there's no room in the ear cups, at all. The main cable insulation broke open years ago and I've since gotten new headphones...

But man. That Sony sound, even on my shitty old V600s. Kind of makes me want to get a pair of 7506s or V6s.

Have you had to repair anything on your V6s?

[TL;DR: they already are, if you really can't afford them (and your local government isn't ran by shadow-fearing cavemen).]

Legit question, wrapped in incredibly ignorant, destructive, patriotic, inflammatory brainworms.

That is why you are getting downvoted, fyi.

Stop confusing innovation with government tyranny. Stop being a tool and using false dichotomies and other logical fallacies that always results in loss of innovation, enrichment of unethical companies, and biological and ecological damage and destruction.

The role of government is to enforce the will of the people for the good of the people, and finally forcing everybody to adopt superior lighting that is WAY more energy efficient AND way more durable is ABSOLUTELY the right thing to do.

However, to actually answer your ACTUAL question (why don't they subsidize LED bulbs?), that is a question of what you consider a need. The idea of subsidizing is one usually of need, and sometimes also to assist in adoption to push ideas people are hesitant on.

That being said: we aren't talking about cars, bruh. It's like a 2-3x increase in price, but will last 10000x longer and use 0.01x the electricity compared to an incandescent bulb. And basically everybody can afford them. And when they can't, they already have systems in place for that, such as the affordable care act (federally expanded medicaid) and other social net programs like welfare, set up poor people don't get fucked and have to buy stupid incandescent bulbs for all their lives, living incredibly inefficiently.

All the time, responsible governments implement shit like this to get people off of dummfuck ancient technology that people refuse to give up. And whether or not this is "government overreach" or simply forcing the hands of curmudgeons is a matter of purpose and perspective, and ignorance is often that perspective, and hollow-facetiousness and cynical plausible deniability in place of the "purpose".

"Stop eating lead. That is now illegal." - the government, when huge corporations refused to do the right thing.

"Why would I even need that? I've never needed that before" - the dumb monkey, looking at the the monkey using fire.

If it's supposed to just produce light, but is wildly inefficient and disposable, banned, since we have vastly superior tech for that, and have for a while.

If it's actually got a purpose, like heating things at a specific level, that is not a lightbulb, that is a heater and/or a light.

Get a million hour low power led light, and a super low power radiant heat coil. You're already paying a bunch of money and making a bunch of trash, just buy them once now, all y'all hillbilly mechanics.

I get the usecases, most of them are absolutely valid. But with the need, eventually comes a solution.

To doricub @doricub: if you believe it's a widespread issue, you could be the first to design and sell energy efficient and durable, low-cost solutions to this problem. With problems, come opportunities. Help the commonwealth, make some profit. Just be real and don't inaccurately misjudge the demand and potential and make either really cheap crap or really expensive stuff. Check out copyright law in your region and internationally, and investigate the problem and possible solutions, science is your friend. I hope you make something cool.

After highschool, one of my best friends had a 4runner that he built up in the marine corps on the east coast. He was a mechanic. When he drove back to the west coast, where we live, that thing was stored in his dad's backyard for like two years under a blue tarp. He kept a (incandescent) work light on an extension cord in there, and it effectively kept the thing clean and dry. I later helped him rebuild that 22R motor over a week in the snow and learned a ton. That was such a cool experience that I'm really thankful to have.

My point is, there are needs all over. Yours is, most likely, totally valid. But, technologically, we gotta go forwards, and honestly, you could be a step forwards with that. You've said you can only find things not meant for what you want? That's FANTASTIC. Buy a few incandescent bulbs now, to hold you over, but start researching a solution that fits. I know a lot of this stuff requires some investment, but that's the ACTUAL point to copyright law. Seriously, I hope you do this and make it work. That would be awesome to see. You can absolutely do it, it really isn't hard to design something, and find fabrication plants to make parts and send them to you, then sell your COPYRIGHTED goods (for the love of god, look up basic copyright law) at a profit to people that need them. I hope you AT LEAST make back your time and resource investment.

Also, there are a few main ways to advertise. Because once you get your product made, you'll have to show THE RIGHT PEOPLE THAT IT EXISTS AND THAT THEY NEED IT AND HOW TO GET IT;) (big, overly-obvious wink).

Good luck.

Why is racist in quotes? That thing is hateful and dangerous. If him and Mitch McConnell had a baby, it would straight up just be the alien cockroach in the human suit in the first men in black movie.

An instance tag search. Big hype.

The name of that bank is literally just "Moneybags"

I'm, uh... having the opposite problem?

Lol so cool and honorable. Tell spez it's also super honorable to eat your own poop haha, he'll be SO cool and respectable if he films himself and puts it on YouTube. That's the stuff the cool people do.
