The reality of reviews is exactly like reviews of movies or games. Find a reviewer whose opinions on stuff reliably match things you do own, and from there, if they like something, odds are you will.

I have an inverse relationship with Timmy, as an example. He loves vocals, i do not. So stuff he likes tends to bore me, no matter how good he says it is, it’s rare that we both like a product. I tend to agree with crinacle and zeos’ opinions, not with HBB.

Jb weld. Make sure it’s in the right position for your ears and scuff up the areas with sandpaper before to give the JB good grip. It’ll last forever. Superglue is too brittle.
