Also, amazon has the 660s down to $400 sometimes. Some quick suggestions though? Look on ebay for resells of used 58x or 660s, you might get lucky. Also, I can’t do anything like the head clamp pressure the Drop pc37x had (my pair prior to 660s). Personally, I’d rather just save up and buy the better product, but my situation may be different from yours. But like the review said, it’s largely considered a 10% quality difference? Definitely worth the consideration. 58x is similar and definitely a more budget friendly option, just be aware of Drop build quality differences and the no return policy unless it’s broken, and even then, it’s just replaced. ![]() Give them a week or so of use, then they will be what they are supposed to be.

I use them for gaming mostly, but casual music listening/youtubing. I ended up getting the 660s as a bday gift this past year. Or instead of new headphones would a Dac Amp be the play? I just found out about Zreviews and finished watching this video īut I don't mind getting some new headphones instead if they'll be blowing the m40x out of the water in terms of footstep sounding specifically. My price range is pre $200 and I couldn't care less about its overall performance as I just need perfect sound for footsteps specifically and nothing else. I've been looking and apparently the AKG K7XX are some great ones but I was wondering for you guys that play like Hunt: Showdown and Escape from Tarkov where sound is literally life or death, what do you guys use? Hey guys I currently have some AudioTechnica M40x and while they're great for music and general usage, the pinpoint sound just seems mediocre at best.

![]() ![]() Dry bulk cargo primarily consists of raw materials that serve as production inputs. Because the cost of ships is high, and it takes 2 years to build a ship, cargo ships’ supply is tight and inelastic. It covers approximately 320,000 in dry bulk deadweight tonnage. For example, Baltic Dry Index (BDI) shows the demand for shipping capacity versus the supply of dry bulk carriers. Indices can be significant leading indicators. By comparing the stock with an underlying index, you will quickly know if it outperformed, underperformed or moved in line with the market. Evaluating the performance of a single stock would be impossible without a proper measure. Track performance of individual securities.It is a powerful tool to gain a lot of insight with just a glance. A single chart can show overall market sentiment for hundreds and sometimes thousands of individual companies. A picture says a thousand words, and for a stock index, this goes exponential.

So if I were doing it again, I would add the mint later in blending, and lower the speed to medium after the lemon is extracted. I tested making a mint lemonade, and I found that to fully extract the lemon, the mint gets over-muddled. Here’s what lemon slices look like after a spin with the Aer disc (the green bits are mint): It can extract the juicy part of the fruit while leaving the skin, pith, seeds, and even the dividing walls intact. I was most impressed with the disc’s treatment of citrus. ![]() Because the Aer disc doesn’t have blades, it can agitate ingredients without cutting them. Muddling is a cocktail-making technique that mashes flavorful ingredients in the glass. Because it doesn’t have blades, the disc is more gentle, so for tricky emulsions it may help a bit, but I think in most cases the standard containers work well enough. I used Vitamix’s vegan recipe, and it came together perfectly with the standard wet blade. I’ve never really liked mayonnaise, but for this review I tested making it. I’ve made plenty of well-emulsified vinaigrettes in a wet blade container. As with whipping, the standard wet blade containers can do this. ( ½ cup is right on the border of the smallest amount that will work in both containers.) EmulsifyĬulinary emulsification is combining oil and water-based ingredients in a mixture of microdroplets for a dressing or spread (e.g. I did a quick side-by-side test with a half cup of cream, and, as expected, the Aer disc whipped up a bit firmer, but the standard 3” wet blade was still satisfactory. The thing is that the standard wet blade Vitamix containers can make perfectly good whipped cream. Here is my explanation and experience with each task: Whip Vitamix advertises the Aer disc container as performing four culinary tasks. Vitamix does not intend for users to remove the disc from the container, so you shouldn’t plan on swapping it into an existing container. As usual, if you order via my link, you get free shipping, and Joy of Blending gets a commission. It works on all full size (non S-Series) models, so that includes everything from the classic 5000 up to the latest Ascent models. ![]() It can also extract flavor from ingredients for drinks, and emulsify sauces and dressings. They named it Aer for aeration, referring to its ability to whip up foams. Instead of blades, it uses a disc with holes in it, which makes it less aggressive. Here’s my review of the Vitamix Aer Disc Container. Want some more inspiration to put in this effort? See this collection of 100 hard work quotes. You need to dig in and give the 110% effort for your goals. If you have a dream, yet do nothing but fantasize about your dream, you are not persevering. One of the key facets of never giving up is hard work. But in reality, it is just a doggedness of pushing forward when times get tough and never giving up until you have achieved your dreams. Perseverance is the cornerstone of never giving up. There are a lot of important learning opportunities when you don’t give up. Some people who quit going after their goals have feelings of deep regret for doing so - for it is only after they’ve thrown in the towel that they realize that success was actually so close, only if they’ve persevered. Nevertheless, that moment when you feel the greatest anxiety that it’s tempting to just quit is the perfect occasion to keep going. It is normal to feel anxious when we’re dealing with life or when we are pursuing our goals. ![]() The challenges strewn on our paths are meant to test our mettle, to see if we’re made of stronger stuff. ![]() However, the challenges we face along the way are not meant to make us quit and just spend the rest of our days on the sidelines, being bitter about life. The moments when our dreams seems so out of reach make us wonder if it’s truly worth pursuing or fighting for. There are days when all we ever encounter are roadblocks, preventing us from moving forward. Sometimes, circumstances in our life make us feel that despite all the hard work we're doing, we’ve got nothing to show for it. ![]() ![]() Mod of Redemption/Final Art - Dance of Blades Final Art - Dance of BladesĪfter defeating the Vlitch Overlords and crafting all the necessary equipment, you will want to head straight for the Lunatic Cultist and start clearing the Lunar Events.

Hit 'Continue' then use the play button to start the test. If you are having trouble getting your AirPods Pros to pass the Ear Tip Fit Test, I would take them back and exchange them. Head to Settings > Bluetooth and tap on the 'i' next to your AirPods Pro, then tap 'Test Ear Tip Fit' to start the test. It was clear that the original pair had some type of issue. At the end of the Genius session - the very nice Apple Store employee took a new pair off the shelf and exchanged them for my bad pair. It failed every single time despite adjusting and pressing them into my ears between tries. I placed the medium demo tips onto my personal AirPods and tried the test 10 times. I switched to the large ear tips and repeated the test. I switched to the small tips and tried again. They passed both left and right immediately. I paired the store demo AirPods Pro with my iPhone and placed them into my ear. They had me try the demo pair (which was pre-installed with medium tips on left and right). Out of frustration I took them into the Apple Store where I purchased them. I would adjust the right and then the right would pass and the left would fail. ![]() Long story short, I tried every possible combination of tip sizes and was never able to get both to pass the Ear Tip Fit Test. Sometimes better in one ear than the other. The noise reduction seemed to work sometimes and just stop working and then start working again. Tap on the case to check the charge status of the case (green means it's fully charged).I purchased a set of AirPods Pro on the day they became available in store. However, it will eventually time out and turn off. The case's light will light up when it's first placed on the pad, letting you know it's charging. Place the case on the pad with the small light facing up to start charging it. It also works with MagSafe chargers, it just won't magnetically stick to the charger like an iPhone 12 or 13 does. The case that comes with the AirPods Pro will wirelessly charge on the same wireless charging pads that work with the iPhone. See charge status when wirelessly charging the case
