my ANRY AIR2 TWS just arrived, and after testing them for like 10 minutes, the left one doesnt turn on or charge. Any ideas what can I do besides dispute ?

buy another pair of some no name shit and expect it to work perfectly!

it was freebie

oh

then dispute the free shit, goyim

Any not bad wireless IEMs that I can get from a EU warehouse?
Needs to work on one ear, Onodera suggested QS2 but I can't find those in EU.

you can try looking up scarbir's tws chifi list

Not really going for hifi, they're mainly for podcast at work
But if it's cheap enough it'll do
Thanks!

Uh
There's no hope for 8-10 hour battery life yet right?

on one charge? no?

`Average battery life of Galaxy Buds without charging is up to 6 hours`

`Apple promises 5 hours of battery life and we got 6!`

@s3bbe if youre only using one at a time you can h o t s w a p one and charge the other

<:radturt:499289662641143808>

That'd be enough and in fact probably ideal
Thanks!

The Sony WF-1000XM3 offer 8 hours if you turn off active noise cancelling

and the buds charging for 10 minutes on the case gives 90 minutes playtime

whats the testing method for those anyway ? full volume and fullspectrum constant "noise" ?

No clue honestly.

just now startted to think that mmm research time

``` The sequence first measures the passive attenuation of the headphone before moving into a loop. The loop plays a 2 minute pink noise stimulus at high output level to accelerate battery drain. During this stimulus period, a current measurement is <bullshitcompanynamehere>. Immediately following the stimulus, battery voltage is measured followed by acquisition and analysis of audio parameters (response, THD and THD Normalized). The active attenuation of the headphone is then measured followed by a series of post processing and Autosave steps. The looping continues until no output is detected from the headphone, when the device shuts down due to insufficient battery capacity. ```

TIL (thats just one companys way of doing that

ofc they dont speak anything about transmissio distance between pods and bluetooth source, EM errors in bluetooth data etc etc

any recommendations on ali gamepads?

are gamesir controllers well made?

8bitdo is top notch

Primarily looking for something that has xinput on pc and a detachable cable

And a good dpad

Gamesir g3s seems good, there are other models I didn't take a look at yet

ive heard good things about gamesir, but ive never used any myself

@lo-fi depends on country but the ASUS TV500BG is great

At the $20ish AUD (15usd) that I paid for it, it's a wireless xinput controller with great sticks and low input lag

I would say that I can pretty much only buy stuff from china

for some reason importing from china ends up being cheaper than anywhere else

and no matter where I order from it would take 1 or 2 months to arrive anyway

have they changed the search on aliexpress?

Anyone bought a dash cam from Aliexpress before? Any cheap but decent dash cams on Aliexpress?

@onoderaSecurity bought one iirc

infographic updated last time 2018?

it seems quite old
