Because you’re being dumb. If someone wants a GPU for example to play CSGO at 1080p on a 60Hz monitor and they’re asking what 4090 is best people are obviously going to tell them that it’s a massive waste of money. Aikido for 0.7seconds of latency is just dumb. Pretty much any decent Bluetooth headset is comfortably below that. My QC45s are under half a second but they’re shit for gaming

So? The difference between Tidal HiFi and Spotify Premium is so tiny that I am more than willing to sacrifice that "downgrade" in quality for a user interface that I much prefer. I'm not here to pick apart tiny nuances in music 24/7, I'm here to enjoy music.

Well, using the oratory EQ as a bassline, what would you like to change exactly?

More bass? More treble? Less of both or either?

DONT TOUCH THE MIDS IT WILL SOUND TINY OR MUDDY OTHERWISE :)

If you have identified the "problem" area, just dial in a shelf and boost or decrease it all at once. Easiest and dirtiest way to adjust for treble and bass preference.

I just switched from HD 58x’s to Sundaras. They are a noticeable upgrade. More so than I was expecting. Skipped the HD600/650/6XX/660s with the expectation they wouldn’t be quite as resolving as I was looking for. The Sundaras certainly offer more clarity than the HD 58x’s and have cleaner deeper bass.

You want low latency headphones with good sound quality. Bluetooth means you cannot get low latency headphones. You need to be looking at wireless headsets that work via Wi-Fi if you want wireless and even then you’re getting poor quality audio and mic.

Not really? Bluetooth headphones aren’t meant for gaming and there’s reasons. You can get a 3m long wire if you really need it and any decent open backs will be better for gaming and any wired mic will beat a bluetooth solution. Like the old included EarPods apple used to ship with phones have better mice than any Bluetooth headphone I’ve heard.
