It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Biden's mic was EQed to pick up as much low end and high end ambient noise as possible.

No. The mic is EQed that way so you can actually hear the low and high parts of his voice. The human ear is most sensitive to the mid range as it amplifies those frequencies, and the majority of our voice also lies in the midrange. You can see this if you look at the frequency response curve of headphones, the midrange is always boosted to replicate what our ear does, it's called pinna gain. The Harman target is a good example of this. If Biden's mic was EQed flat, you wouldn't be able to hear the low or high parts of his voice. If Biden sounds like an old man, it's because he is one.

But have you considered I'm an audiophile, and it's my entire identity, which I have now found a noble application for outside of being an annoying prick to friends and family?

Should I buy Sennheiser or Bang and Olufsen workout earbuds

For workout earbuds I'd just get the cheapest wireless/Bluetooth pair with some water/sweat resistance. Sound quality doesn't really matter when working out, and wireless makes sense for this.

Thanks! I think I will get the Shokz bone conduction on Prime Day.

I used aftershokz conduction for workouts for a while, but they were never loud enough for me, so I switched to an in-ear and am happier except one ear piece is always getting loose in my ear while working out

Yeah I was hoping to get around the looseness and sweat pooling

I've never tried bone conduction headphones, but it sounds awesome lol. Enjoy it
