        My fitness has not at all translated to biking so I’m in the phase where this shit is hard. Going to work and back is a battle of life and death for me lol.

    Nice, I got myself the over the ear momentum 4, along with the BT dongle. Was almost ready to return it, because of shitty audio when playing music on the computer. Instead all that was necessary to do was setting the profile to audio output only. If it is set to output+input (i.e. with the microphone on) it defaults to phone call quality. Properly set it sounds very good. The only downside is that guess where they made…?

      I had the same problem with all my BT headphones - the audio quality would suck and I thought that was just a thing that BT headphones do. Nope, you just have to disable the onboard mic somehow. Sounds better now, but it’s kind of a bummer that I can’t use the mic.

        On android they should switch between audio out only and mic + audio when in a call or using voice assistance.

    Cool. I’ve always loved Sennheiser for their quality over hype, unlike Beats or Air pods, etc. How are they so far?

      Their consumer business got bought out by a swiss hearing aid company though. Fist thing they did was stop selling spare parts…

      Not getting a penny from me if I can avoid it.

      Only used them for a week but so far they are amazing! I have been used to Urbanista but they always broke within a year.

    A biventricular pacemaker. Latest model, with app support and everything. Quite a surprise, really.

    Didn’t get them for Christmas, as I bought them myself a few months ago, but I’m wearing an identical pair right now.

      I’m wearing some black ones. I love the sound cancelling. And the tap on left or right being different controls.

      Dilling is the shizzle. My wife, kid and myself have their long underwear for skiing and other winter activities. The socks are also amazing.

      I never minded it as a kid either. I didnt have to go sock shopping which i hated. Tho I usually got it from the outer family. If i got socks from nuclear family, i wouldve went insane.

        I guess it was the same with me :) I always wanted Lego sets or some other toy or gadget. I did appreciate the gifts from anyone though. I. Or ally got some clothes from them and toys from my parents.

    Did you know that there are inexpensive, difficult to lose ones that plug into devices? I highly recommend them.
