Hybrid work has been great for this. I can step away from my desk for 5 minutes to toss in laundry or vacuum etc. Dust or unload the dishwasher while on a call. I no longer have to spend half of my Saturday cleaning because my house is just always clean.

Why are you responding to a year and a half old comment? Lol

I like it. Is the enemy a vampire or something like that?

Aw ok, much love ❤️

That’s impossible, the term didn’t exist until 2010 when Jennifer Allen created it because she wanted a “scientific sounding” term to describe the sensation.

Oh. :( That wasn’t very friendly.

For sure, I’ve replaced the cable on this set a few times due to getting tangled in chair wheels or my kitten chewing on the cord

I got these pads for under $10 on Amazon. You just rotate the pads counter-clockwise and they pop off, no tools needed.

Oof. The headband on mine isn’t stock - it came with a bumpy headband that wore down over time. I swapped to this leather headband made from a scrap of recycled leather a few years ago and it has held up perfectly.

Huh?

The term ASMR was coined in 2010. I think it didn’t really catch on until 2011.

Close. I originally got them exclusively for ASMR listening, when ASMR was a brand new concept.

It’s a toss-up between music (almost entirely Lofi Hiphop), ASMR, podcasts, movies, and gaming. I originally got this set specifically for ASMR because I figured the soundstage would be great (it is) but found them to be well-rounded for every use case.

Do you happen to have a link to the replacement elastic? I had no idea that it could be replaced

Damn. Maybe snag a used set on Ebay?

Damn, those look sick! Are they over the ear or on-ear? Hard to drive? I might pick up a pair to use at the office since open-back isn’t a great choice for that environment.

Btw the leather band on my Q701 isn’t stock. It’s just scrap leather that I cut to shape when my old headband wore out. Got the scrap for free on a recycling group.

Those are basically a closed-back version of mine, right? They look badass.

The rest of the breakdown is: 40% once a week, 36% once a month or less. I guess I fall into the latter bracket.

That’s awesome and it sounds like it works for you, but I suspect it isn’t the norm. I could only find data for 50+ year olds, and among them only 24% talk to friends daily. That seems about right for my adult friends group - I get the sense that a quarter of them are very social and the rest are too busy to socialize that often.

I think that level of interaction might be normal in adolescence and even young adulthood, but by the time you’re working, living on your own, and maybe have a family I really don’t think most people talk to their friends that often.
