I obviously hate fireworks.

Superlux HD-665 are essentially hearing protectors, combined with Superlux drivers and marketed for drummers. As headphones, they sound decent albeit very bass-heavy, at least the highs aren't as fatiguing as for example HD-681B's though. Comfort is similar to other relatively cheap hearing protectors. The main weakness is a flimsy rubber-coated cable, the short one that comes out of the left can.

The source is rockboxed Sansa Clip Zip with an old C&C BH portable amp that I use mainly for convenience, specifically volume control and preserving the clip's own very tight jack… it does improve bass a little too though.

And of course there's the beanbag-like stress-relief penguin.

I hate fireworks.

Fireworks are fine, people blasting fireworks off hours before or after the event is over are not fine.

Don't know what the fuck that's supposed to mean but 95% of this little country loses it's senses on the 29th when fireworks go on sale and slowly regains it on the morning of the second of jan.

At this point in life, I can tolerate the noise… after years of meditation practice and equipped with hearing protection. Our dogs manage alright too.

The litter's all over the place, although that's not exclusive to fireworks.

However, it's a significant source of pollution and disrupts wildlife.

Meanwhile, I don't think fireworks are all that impressive anymore, you know, having access to a modern movie theater, and there are less harmful alternatives, such as laser shows.

I think the same but about cheap headphones.

I mean, by spending a little more people can get much better build and sound quality, and instead of funding multiple cheap products that are a significant source of pollution and disrupts wildlife, they can own one for a longer length of time and be happy.

I don't think cheap headphones are all that impressive anymore, you know, having access to less harmful alternatives such as focals and dca aeons, even audeze now their qc isn't garbage, items that will last a decade instead of being garbage after 3 months.

But they're wrong!

Disagreeing with someone is fine, being toxic is not.

Don't impede reasonable discussion or vilify based on what you or the other person believes or knows to be true.

Look at what they said!

Responding to a person breaking Rule 1 does not grant a pass to break the same rule. Everyone is responsible for their own participation on r/headphones.

Violations may result in a temporary or permanent ban.
