I buy brands that piss people off on purpose.

brands like apple? 😂
Just got AirPod Pro gen 2 this week.
nuuuuuuuuuuuoooo 🤣
I have them paired with my Microsoft Surface Pro.
Running Windows 11.
I use WSL btw.
i have jlab air pleb sport :) i do like em tho. i need that over ear loop otherwise it's just gonna fall in the drink. cool on the WSL. at this point, i like microsoft a lot better than i like apple. 😅 i quadruple boot and keep windows around for when i really need it, was just learning davinci resolve last week and the linux free version was nerfed of x264 so i just was like, ohhkkkkkk, reboot and try it there.
Yep. Fedora ganked h264 over license issues. Long live AV1.
I run everything. Actually work in OpenSUSE.
I just love telling people how much I love Windows because fanboi’s gonna fanboi. macOS is the best laptop IMO, but my Thinkpad is pretty cool too. (Fedora/Windows)
Haha, ya I have been living around windows for a long time, sometimes you gotta have it for something like bios or whatnot. Thinkpads are my fav. Usually I run arch, but right now I'm sidelined into Ubuntu for a gig that would only run in Ubuntu.. 😅at least it's Linux.. heh.
Arch was great. So was gentoo. I learned a ton.
We deploy on Fedora/RHEL so similar circumstances here. Lol
i can't even function on a mac or windoze anymore, i need my tiling window manager (sway) cause im soo much more productive w/it it's just silly to have to drag windows around like a caveman..
Still on i3. Qt 5.15 app with OpenGL doesn’t play nice with wayland. 🥲
oh damn, yeah i ditched x11 long ago, wayland is working great these days for my stuff.. even got obs working
AirPods are great, how do you like them so far?
I didn’t expect the jump from gen 1 to gen 2 would be worth it.
It was.
Clearer bass (less distortion), transparency mode is better, ANC is better, and the volume gesture turned out to be very natural.
I have the max too, I’m a bit disappointed with the noise cancelling tbh but they’re not earbuds so idk.
I’ve heard a lot of people say they were disappointed in the Max. I almost ordered them, but figured I’d wait to see if there’s a second gen of them after reading reviews. The pros are my favorite Bluetooth buds though. The only ones that came close were a pair of $85 skull candy ones that were pretty incredible, but lacked ANC, and were less durable. Great sound though.
The max are great for the gym, and they’re very good in general, I use them all the time. I bought them after the pros so I was expecting the same amount of notice cancellation but it’s a totally different design so it makes sense.
Yeah you can’t expect that from over ear. How would you say the distortion/clarity was compared to the buds?
