Reminder to enjoy your current setup and stop looking for deficiencies (or even wanting to upgrade just for the sake of it)

I hate what I've become. I miss just enjoying things

Here's the thing, though - enjoyment of life is complex, and enjoying the journey of looking for better things (A.K.A. Adventure) is sometimes even better than actually finding the better things you had set out to find.

If anything, I'd argue that those of us passively absorbing/experiencing content are getting less enjoyment out of life than those of us that are constantly sailing the high seas, looking for better treasure, constantly challenging outselves, trying new things, and never being satisfied with any one thing.

The expedition for better is the enjoyment.

Holy shit why is this comment so true

Because the seemingly-trite saying of "it's about the journey, not the destination" is both true, and universal, and one would gain the most from living in the moment (within reason).

And if the moment happens to call for obsessive research, the pursuit of unobtainable perfection, lengthy conversations and reviews, community and fulfilliment?

Then so be it.

Yes, those things you're doing are for a future-something, but it's the enjoyment of what you're doing in the here and now that makes it truly special/worthwhile.

after 5 years still enjoying usb audio player pro for long critical sessions and listen with bt when working out- drawing-daily walks with poweramp on my lg v20 with beyerdynamic dt 770 250ohms i dont plan on updating for a while at least for the next few years. Really enjoying my SIMPLE SETUP. In the end it always has been about the music and both of these apps do it beautifully. But i do love and enjoy seeing other peepz setups and audio rigs as well. now go and enjoy your music the WAY you want. blessings

My friend was happily using his knockoff AirPods. When he made me listen to something on it, it was just 1k and nothing else

But true. I really wish sometimes that I couldn’t hear the difference between lossy or CD or records or hi-res digital. It would save me a lot of money

apple’s stock buds are actually decent enough for a lot of people

no phones come with earbuds these days though, and what got me into audiophile stuff is just wanting something that doesn't break in a few months.

The apple wired earbuds aren't that bad. They got a nice amount of bass and high treble.

I have Grado’s and B&W P7’s among others, but man, I also love my Apple dirtybuds! They honestly sound great for what they are!

I have the B&W PX8, but some things just sound better on the Sennheiser Momentum 2.0, they're more forgiving of source material.
