  • Kinda off topic, but kinda on topic too:

    Does anyone know where I can find statistics on house fires caused by old/faulty batteries combusting?

    If I had to guess, I would say that such cases are on the rise and people have lots of old lithium batteries just sitting in droors. I’ve got old phones in my house that I can’t even find anymore.


  • When you have a group of enthusiasts gathered around, certain things will tend to dominate the conversation. Certain headphones will gain praise over most. (To an alarming degree, which is where I agree with ya)

    So when ten people praise a thing, more people will buy the thing, then more people will praise it, while a percentage will have a negative experience.

    It’s not only headphone preference. There’s an even greater enthusiast market for listening sources. A different source can give someone a totally different experience. And from what I’ve heard, the hd600 is a very amp dependent headphone. So people are hearing different experiences in general.

    There’s also a fuck ton of snake oil coming outta YouTube reviewers that flows into this forum.

    It all just makes for a VERY frustrating hobby, when you can’t just try the shit before you buy it. I’m the type of guy that will do a stupid amount of research before I settle on something. It’s why I like the Deva over the Sundara.
