My main problem with earbuds is that most audio now has the bass over-mixed because they expect people to listen to them through earbuds

Skull candies are great

LOL yeah for real

i mean actually buds arent that bad for basss

as long as you dont want to hear below 80 hz

the juicy subs are usually around 60 hz

plus with subs u can actually physically feel the mechanical waves move through you

the only way deaf people can hear

Yeah, every time I watch or listen to something with that range of bass I get a renewed sense of happiness that I built my surround sound system

And I've got the "cheap" speakers

Modern songs seem to be very bass heavy and loud

Pop mostly

LOL well to be fair cheap speakers now are better than most of the consumer stuffs thats been out for so many years

That's true

really the amp is where its at

You know what I hate

My "cheap" speakers are on a level playing field with my dad's 40-year-old SpeakerLabs speaker cabinets

People who moan about modern music being bad

in terms of having the biggest effect on the sound

And not actually looking beyond the Billboard charts

LOL i mean i listen to metal and some of the modern shit is fuckign great

the mainstream sure is terrible tho

Like, even pop and rock

And mainstream

There's amazing music

Yeah, the people who complain about modern music being bad don't look outside the mainstream much

generally speaking its bleh

I think they're specifically only looking at the charts *to* be outraged

Yes

Exactly

the music industry is so oversaturated to begin with

Like, you have people like Kanye West, Dart punk, The weeknd

everything just becomes a niche in a niche in a niche

But nah DJ Khalid is there so fuck it everything new is bad

i can appreciate a good singer

and people that use real instruments

Hell, harry styles makes amazing music now

like either alone or mixed with electronic stuff

I'll be honest now..no memeing

I've not listened to any charts / radio or anything western in years

and tbh ive desensitised myself to qualifying music outisde of like practical stuff
