I am just about to go to bed and my brain is honestly fried!!! Today I thought I would bite the bullet and let Lee and co show me pretty much all that my mind could take, Whether it was learning more about Discord, Understanding the FG Website (WHICH I DIDNT KNOW WE HAD 🙂) or having a fun filled evening on 7 days with everyone. I think was all about getting use out of my new PC which since I have had it, I have only really used it for work. We started today around 1pm, @GazzaGarrattshowing me through Discord and FG along with Dave I believe, sorry my memory isn't the best and I am very tired. Was really great to learn if I am honest as Discord is not my strongest point. So in return I told lee I would bet on Blackburn to win today to which they lost hahaha (He now hates me) In the evening I jumped on 7 days with Lee, @RenFengge @Diddums @TurboR56Mini @crispymorgan @Ajay for a quality night shooting up some zombies. Was genuinely humbled that they all took so much time out to help little old me and show me what to do, even managed to survive the Zombie threat which I am kinda impressed with. To celebrate me and Didds did an airshow on the Gyrocopters however I think our landing skills are in need of some serious training 🤣🤣 Loved how Lee and Turbo let me have the first condo in the new pad and me and Turbo have turned it into a luxurious Log Cabin!!! Looks Ace!!! Air Traffic Tower coming along nicely too 😁 Anyways......Thanks everyone, needed this today, was tiring but genuinly an awesome day. #GGFG

I like good quality sound. I am also in a line of work which means that my headphones often fall out of my ears from pretty high up and can land in puddles of water, so I go through them like mad. In the last year I'm on about my 6th pair. That means I need cheap and good quality sound. I went through a long lovestory with wireless headphones, mainly Enacfires. I started with their E18 headphones which impressed me for their price, however once these died and were replaced under warranty and died again, I remained with Enacfire and ordered the E20s. Again wireless and very impressive sound quality, with a charging case big enough to double as a battery bank. Nice on paper, never used it once. They died eventually so I got another pair of them which also died. Including warranty claims, I think I've gone through 8 pairs of Enacfire headphones. I can't comment on build quality because as I said, they don't live a normal life with me. For all I know they could've lasted a century under normal conditions. Anyway, Enacfire was removed from Amazon for some reason and their own site wanted £6 for shipping, and I thought that's just taking the piss. A quick search on that Google they have now ended up with me ordering a pair of Jlab Go Airs. Initial impressions were good, the battery life was phenomenal and the sound quality wasn't bad either. The downfall was the irritating touch buttons they use. The entire side of the bud is a button and they were a terrible fit so I was constantly pushing them back in to my ear and skipping tracks / pausing/ changing volume by mistake. It was irritating as hell but I wasn't gonna get rid as I knew they wouldn't be long for this world. The charging case has a USB plug built in to it so you can plug it in very easily which is just as well, the case battery is quite small. Luckily the bud batteries could last me almost a whole day. I couldn't in good faith recommend them as they're a perfect example of shoving tech in to stuff for extra bling whilst not really caring about practicality. Also the volume wasn't very good, I quite frequently found myself loading up VLC player to play music as I could push beyond 100% volume on that. Anyway, whilst I wait for the warranty replacement to arrive I thought I'd give something else a go. I watch a lot of stuff on youtube from an aussie chap named Dankpods who I've come to regard quite highly about these things as he's got a degree in music and really seems to know his stuff. One set of earbuds he often mentions are the KZ ES4s. They're wired which put me off but I thought I'd give them a go anyway. Simply put, these are the best sounding earbuds I've ever owned and completely and comprehensively shit all over any set of wireless buds I've had. The cord has those shapes in them to hold the buds in my ear so they're not constantly falling out. This was a sticking point for me as they looked fiddly and uncomfortable, but the reality is that I don't even notice them and because my earholes are no longer a supporting structure, they're a LOT more comfortable too. The cable is actually barely noticeable at all, but then I've always been used to those shitty bargain-basement earbuds that you get with phones that always have cords made from the stickiest stuff in the world so they're constantly tying themselves in knots and being a pain in the ass. None of that here thankfully. An added bonus of being wired is that the microphone is in the cable meaning I can actually use them for calls. None of my wireless headphones were suitable for calls as the mic is in my ear and asking it to hear me clearly is far too much for them. I'd always have to remove one from my ear, answer my phone and then tell my phone to use its own devices for the call. This may seem trivial, but when you're taking 50+ calls a day, it gets irritating. The flip side of this of course is that I don't have buttons on the earbuds so I can't skip tracks without pulling my phone out my pocket. Not a deal breaker but this might matter to some. The sound stage is a lot less bassy than my former earbuds and I thought this would ruin them for me, but the sound quality is so much better that I'm actually preferring them and I'm hearing sounds in songs that I've never heard before. These are, without a doubt, the best sounding headphones I've ever owned and yes, they sound better than my £250 Astros for music (not exactly what you buy Astros for so not really a valid comparison but just adding a bit of context). To give this a bit of context, my Samsung phone has that orchestra ringtone that Samsung uses. You'll know it when you hear it. Getting used to this ringtone with these headphones was weird as hell because I didn't realie that my phone was ringing at first, I actually legitimately stood there wondering where that sound was coming from. Herp derp. They don't have any noise cancelling but the loops on the ears means they fit so well that I can't hear anything around me anyway. It's eery as hell at first. Their appearance is also pretty cool, I've got the blue ones which are see-through with a red circuit board inside them, so they definitely look cooler than the shit ones you get with phones. TL;DR - if you need cheap headphones and can live with a barely noticeable cable, these are the best £20 you'll ever spend. I'll update this now and then but I can see these lasting me a long, long time.

Do you have the quality turned up on Spotify? There's a setting which you can change. That said, I want the best quality headphones I can get for that very reason. I'm seriously considering a FLAC player now 😕

Once we see how the multiplayer is, we'll be setting up another FG race league. I'd love it if you joined us. I have a feeling you'd be competition for Greebs and Kiwi 🙂

Oh and btw wireless earbuds are shit and alot of gaming headsets are dog water for music thats why I have a audiophile desk setup with my pc.

Kz-Dq6 no more said if you wanna spend extra 10 bucks go for the new kz tribrids not telling you what to buy but I have multiple pairs of iems, ranging from cheap to expensive as hell and kz is a amazing company. 👏 enough said. Sorta what you said earlier your not going to notice the difference between a 30 dollar pair of kzs to a lot of 100 to 200 dollar iems unless there certain tunnings 300 to 500 you'll notice a marginal difference and 7 to 1000 you'll notice a bigger difference 😉 but only if you wanna spend money on something that crazy. I only req kzs for budget options then anything above that is magird Teas and above that is the shouer ejo7m then the unique melody mest. Soooooooo what am I saying is buy kzs get a good cable. Got a perfect place that's makes amazing cables for about 30 bucks that has lasted me in a dirt and steel environment and machine coolant environment for over a year now if you'd like.

FA Cup doing it's thing again last night. Man Utd weren't bad but could not put the ball in the back of the net. Only had half an eye as we were playing Among Us with quality commentary from @LordBaguette

Sounds good Phil! I am not familiar with their skill level so I don't know whether to interpret that as a compliment or an horrendous dig😅

It was an awesome day @Macca89 , great to see you finally using your purchase!! I didn't want to tell you how to suck eggs, so always tell us if we're being too pedantic. I was like you some years ago and I find if you're just open and honest and how much or little you know, people here will really want to help you get on with it all. Last night was great to see 5-6 people wanting to help you come through and work out 7 Days. It really is a great game because you can play it in so many different ways. You've only scratched the surface so to see you loving it is super pal! And thanks for sticking by the simple things on FG too (and thanks @Plumbers Crack for supporting too). It can be overwhleming this world, (it was when i joined years ago with no forum experience!) but you're getting the hang of it....even if @Diddums had to help move your thread to the right place 😉 🤣Thanks Didds! ❤️ Take a look at the 7 Days sections and ask questions about anything in there mate 👍 P.S. Don't bet on Blackburn again when i'm there please. Fanks 🤣🤣😘

You seriously know your stuff there 🙂 I only really listen to music via Spotify and the quality of their streams is so poor I've never felt the need to invest in audio stuff. I do have a lot of vinyl but when I play that I make sure my neighbours hear it too, if you know what I mean. I do hear though that Spotify are going to be increasing the quality this year, so may need your advice if that happens, music is a very important part of life for me.

I picked this up yesterday and had an hour or so on, it in between other games. It is very hard but the shooting mechanics are on point. You can customise your loadout and choose any weapon, nothing seems to be locked. It's very slow paced, in fact there is no run mechanic and hitting left shift just makes you walk even slower😅 The AI need constant orders but I do like getting them to disable traps for me. Very happy with it and I can recommend if you like your shooter experience to be hard core and tactical.

Nice one Macca, I was playing Tarkov and a few other games yesterday, I'd have jumped on 7 Days if I knew there was a chance to troll you a little bit😁

Great to see you enjoying it dude, it can be a bit overwhelming at first but stick with it, trust me. Nice to see your new PC spitting out some decent performance on what is quite possibly the poorest optimized game in the world too. (moved your thread to the 7 Days forum)

If you wanna experience true full blown clarity and sound separation tribrids are a must. Litterally it's nutty I can't listen to music on shit headphones or iems anymore. I currently using shouer ejo7m tribrids that's cost 10 times as much as thr kzs and they only outperform in certain departments by margins and I also use a wireless dac so I can skip songs and have better input then my phone Input depending on your music library will matter but seriously kzs you can't go wrong. But like I said it boils down to what you listen to really so im no expert but I have my fair share in the hobby lol between all my audio equipment stuff I have id say for pure music enjoyment I have about 3k in it now if not more. But that's almost a 2 year length. Also expensive isn't always better in the audiophile realm. But if your purely just using iems and not over the ears you'll save your wallet trust me. Cans will get expensive as fuck for a really decent pair. For something to match those tribrids I mentioned you would spend about 500 bucks to match the sound quality you'd get out of a 40 to 50 buck iem lmfao.

Cheers dude, having seen how much bang you can get for relatively little buck has opened a whole world for me! I was honestly expecting to pay £200+ to get a sound stage like this, so getting it for 10% of that blew me away. I'll likely be trying out a few different ones now, I can see this becoming a great hobby for a fairly small outlay. Those tribrids look good too, might make this my next purchase 😄

Only just seen this, there’s a few I haven’t got here, cheers @GazzaGarratt

prime gaming to if anyone has prime gaming they do destiny drops there never really that good normally just emotes and ships but hey not everything's free so take what is😝

I might just see what a 4k monitor is like from Amazon and return it if I don't like it and just keep my monitor.

How flush are you? That's the biggest thing. If $1k is a decent chunk of money, then stick it in the S&P500 or something, as that'll be worth more to you than a new monitor. "Wtf are you talking about Diddums" - the jump from your monitor to a $1k monitor will disappoint you. Yours is already a rather decent monitor and truth be told you're looking at triple your budget to notice a worthwhile improvement. That being said, do you have an electronics warehouse local to you? We have Curry's here in the UK which is the worst company on the face of the earth and deserves to die a slow and painful death but you can still visit their stores and see stuff in the flesh. What's Amazon's returns policy like over there? You could also max out your $1k budget and see if you think it's worth it and send it back if you don't like it, that's what I would do if you don't have a "Curry's".

That's cool dude, and I appreciate it so don't take my post the wrong way. I honestly couldn't give a shit where I play as long as I've got people around me who listen to me moaning and shit jokes.

I do like how they are going back to the format of the original along with including the classic tracks. GT has kinda lost its way in recent memory and given the Forza series an open goal but it looks to be reaching its potential here and giving longstanding fans exactly what they wanted which is great
