    Tidal AAC or Lossless for Bluetooth Headphones

    If I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones that support AAC, and I'm using the Tidal client for Mac, am I better off with Tidal's Lossless or Lossy codec? I ask because presumably all data is being compressed into AAC anyway for transmission. So would it be best to just stream Tidal's lossy (I...

    Nuraphone - Initial Impressions

    Boy, has it been a long time since I've posted here. I bought the Nuraphone. I was curious about the really weird technology involved. It's a Kickstarter-backed wireless headphone that has two very weird features: 1. A hybrid headphone-earphone design. It's a headphone, but it has two earphone...

    How To Learn Battlefield 4?

    Hi everyone,   Just bought it this weekend  – traded in CoD Ghosts - figured 7 months was enough time for them to fix the glitches. The game is somewhat daunting to learn, but that's why I like it more than Call Of Duty or Titanfall thus far. I got sick of CoD and Titanfall because they're so...

    A "Bro-science"-Free Workout Routine?

    Hi HeadFiers,   I'm looking for workout routine that is based on dull science and not 'bro-science', cliques, fads, "gurus", message boards, personal anecdotes, charismatic internet personalities, etc. Any ideas where I can find such information on the internet? Bonus points if the author of...

    Help me decide between PS4 or XBox One

    Hi Headfi,   I'm having trouble deciding between the PS4 or XBox One.   If Titanfall wasn't a Microsoft exclusive, my choice would be easy. If the PS4 didn't have the superior hardware, my choice would be easy. If I trusted Microsoft more as a vendor my choice would be easy.    Alas, it...

    Deleting bookmarks, in mass, from iPhone

    Here's the deal -   I deleted a couple thousand bookmarks from Safari on my Mac.   However, when I plug in my iPhone running iOS 7, it doesn't delete those bookmarks too from my iPhone.    Deleting bookmarks one at a time is a pain on an iPhone. Any way to do in in mass. I'd be willing to...

    How Do I Gain Basic Physical Coordination Skills?

    Hi HeadFi,   Oi....I'm really upset right now.    I just tried taking the Motorcycle Safety Foundation course to get my motorcycle license. I got kicked out out after a couple of hours (and switching from a motorcycle to a scooter) because of my lack of balance and physical coordination...

    Am I getting ripped off?

    Hey, I have to move from DC to Austin, TX (1500 mi) for work. I have a 1 BDR apartment with a minimum of furnishings and things and I'm being quoted $5350. This includes everything, including packing, unpacking, transportation, supplies, etc.    It's from a company with 5 stars on Yelp, but...

    Google Olympic Hurdles Time

    http://www.google.com/doodles/hurdles-2012   After much practice (and carple tunnel, lol), I got it down to 15.4 seconds. It's pretty tough breaking 20 seconds.    What's your time?

    How to make your own Dr. Dre Beats

    My apologies if anyone already posted this (I didn't see it anywhere). A man converts a pair of headphones into Beats (unfortunately he still chose Bose for the conversion)

    Affordable Automatic Watch suggestions

    Hey guys,   I remember that 5 years ago the two automatic watches everybody recommended were the Seiko Black Monster and the Invicta 8926 (which I actually owned at one point). These were like considered the Grado SR-60s of automatic watches on the interwebs.   Anything changed? I ask...

    Energy drinks! (Redbull vs. Monster, etc.)

    We've had threads in the past on Coke vs. Pepsi, and that sort of thing, but I'm curious how many of you drink energy drinks... Monster, Redbull, 5 Hour Energy or Rockstar, etc. Would you ever switch brands?   I personal like Monster Absolutely Zero. Tastes very sweet for a 'diet' drink...

    First experience with the 2nd Amendment...

    Hey guys,   I recently purchased a $99 discount voucher for a Shootin' and Drinkin' experience on November 13 (there were 12 times available).    I purchased it because I've never shot a gun before, which is something I figured I should do once before I die. It's outdoor shotgun sporting...

    Using gym equipment

    Hello,   So an idea I had:   I live at an apartment with a small gym. Since I work freelance, I can use it when everyone else is at work. Brilliant!   The only problem is I'm not sure if I'm using some of the equipment correctly, or what exercises I should be doing. Therefore I was...

    Need advice on starting a blog (professional writer)

    Hey guys,   So here's the deal. I've been writing (for money) since November. I haven't, however, gotten around to putting together a blog for people who like (or hate) my writing to get updates and links to my other work. Since my writing has been getting a surprising amount of attention I...

    Where do people take high-performance cars?

    Something I've always wondered -    I always read in car magazines or Top Gear about the BMW M5 or Porsche 911 or the Honda S2000 or whatnot, and I always wonder to myself...where do normal people take these cars to take advantage of their performance?   Typically the speed limit is 60...

    Uh...is it safe to travel to Memphis?

    Hey guys,   I was thinking of flying down to Memphis next week (plane arrive on Monday, depart Wednesday) for a business trip. I've never been before.   I noticed stuff on the news about flooding. How serious is this for a traveler? Should I not go? I've never been to Memphis, so I don't...

    Can you attribute the following quotes to the proper person? :-)   http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/quiz/2011/mar/01/muammar-gaddafi-charlie-sheen-quiz   Amazingly, I got 9/10 right.

    Gunman holds school board hostage (caught on tape)

    Navy fires 33 megajoule Mach 7 electromagnetic rail-gun

    Feel da' power....they want to put this on ships.  It goes at least 100 miles.     "A single megajoule is roughly equivalent to a 1-ton car traveling at 100 mph. Multiple that by 33 and you get a picture of what would happen when such a weapon hits a target."...

    Credit card company claims payment not received

    Hello HeadFiers,     A credit card of mine was declined today, so I called them up and asked why. They claim to have never received a payment for last month. I did sent the bill, so it must have gotten lost in the mail.   I asked them to resend the bill so I can pay it, but appearently...

    What dynamic headphones sound most similar to electrostats?

    Hello friends,   I very much enjoy my Stax SRM-313/Stax SR-303 combo (would that be called a "Classic 2" system?). There are times, however, I don't have access to an electrostatic amp, or don't feel like setting up the whole system...   ...For those times, what dynamic headphones most...
