Best bluetooth earbuds?
Budget is flexible, only requirement is that they are wireless and have that little thingy that goes over your ears to stop them from falling out(like these: https://www.amazon.com/Bluephonic-Mini-True-Wireless-Earbuds/dp/B075QCBZFN). They're for working out in a gym, so I guess noise...- chewy4

Help with hooking up speakers to TV
I've got a Samsung TV that has an audio out that looks like this: https://cnet2.cbsistatic.com/img/gjYbdG_WpaglPDBiq0Tnpt1cY2Q=/770x433/2012/06/06/29f3c60a-67c3-11e3-a665-14feb5ca9861/07Samsung_UNEH6000_35159620_35159621_35159622_35159624_35159625_3515962606__3.JPG And a regular 3.5mm to RCA...- chewy4

Best speakers with $150 budget?
Great sound is obviously the main priority, but I don't want anything too big and not sure how much room I have for a subwoofer(does it have to be right next to the speakers?) Ideally I want stereo but if there's an extremely good single speaker out there that'd be great. Bluetooth support is...- chewy4

Good side/under desk headphone stand for LCD2/heavy headphones?
I recently gave this thing a shot: http://www.amazon.com/Vogek-Headphone-Under-Desk-Universal-Conveniently/dp/B01C43KIK2/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8 And totally missed the minimum weight requirements which the LCD2 are just over. It's exactly the kind of the thing I was looking for but...- chewy4

HE-400 vs LCD 2 comfort/weight comparisons
Just got the LCD-2's in the mail today. Weight difference is negligible, they actually feel a bit lighter than the HE-400's since there's more clamp and they're more comfortable all around imo. Haven't had time for an extended listening sesh yet but I don't think it's gonna be a problem.- chewy4

HE-400 vs LCD 2 comfort/weight comparisons
I've been debating making the jump from the HE-400 to the LCD 2 since the connector on one of the ear pieces is going out. Unfortunately there's nowhere around here where I could give the LCD 2 a go but I know they weigh a bit more. Numbers wise it seems like not that much more, but is it a...- chewy4

Left ear phone on HE-400 is going out, need new planar magnetics to replace
I think I'm just gonna say **** it and get the LCD-2. Wish there was somewhere I can try it though so I can see if it's too heavy or something. Doesn't weigh that much more than HE-400 so I imagine I'll be fine.- chewy4

Left ear phone on HE-400 is going out, need new planar magnetics to replace
So the left headphone on my HE-400 is starting to cut in and out, I see that the problem is that the connector has somehow gotten pushed in. It's probably fixable somehow but in True American Spirit I have decided that my best option is to get a new pair. The thing is I really like the way...- chewy4

The time has come: SteamOS
It's not just for streaming. It's an OS that is meant for playing games off of it natively. They talk about it having performance advantages, streaming it off a machine running Windows would get rid of those advantages.- chewy4

The time has come: SteamOS
So basically if you want to play games from the Steam OS, but still have access to Windows games you'll need two gaming PCs. I can see it being useful for a streaming device but as it's own OS to run games natively, this doesn't seem like a good idea. Way too many Windows only games.- chewy4

Audio fidelity and compression?
Not at all. It's just a ratio of file size to time. It's always going to be lower if the file is compressed because the file size is smaller. In an uncompressed file it is the product of sample rate, channels and bit depth. So for a CD quality file it is 44.1kHz * 2 * 16 = 1411kbps. But...- chewy4

Audio fidelity and compression?
If they were from the same source, yeah compression settings on FLAC have no effect on audio quality. 1 and 8 sound the same, they have identical playback. But like xnor said who knows where the one you downloaded has been.- chewy4
