By Wedward Go To PostMusic is the only thing that gets me through 40+ hours a week in an office.What headphones would you recommend?
I love how literally every media outlet is blaming Perez for all the recent faults. Good... gooooooood.

I am sure Linius can be more help than me, but I have always bought Sennheiser.
Depends hugely on your budget. Mine was around $200 so I ended up going with the Sennheiser HD 25-1 ii. Really love them. Every part is user replaceable which was huge for me because I toss mine around quite a bit.
I kind of always forget the touchpad is there. It serves hardly any purpose in most games. Just like the light on the controller :P
Can't go wrong with the HD series from Sennheiser honestly. HD598 are very decently priced at Amazon currently. With more money to blow the HD600 would be better.
Another 'classic' would probably be the Audio Technica ATH-M50. I'm personally quite fond of the Denon AH-MM400 or the Bowers & Wilkins P5.

By Linius Go To PostI've listened to about 119.000 songs since february 2009 according to my last.fm. So that's just the music I actually put on intentionally trough either my iPhone or on my laptop. Not counting sources I can't scrobble and the times I listen to the radio. I just love music, I can't imagine life without it. Also why I'd always pick blind over deaf if people ask that question. You can always still feel boobies, but you can't feel music innit.Just noticed we have "Super" in music similarites. You have good taste, Linius.
And since my new job I did learn and experience a lot Wedward. It certainly helps being surround by hifi 20 hours a week.
Of course we are super m8
Oh by the way, for home use the RS series from Sennheiser is really impressive.

I really wanted some open headphones, but I work in close proximity with people in an open office.
Was originally going to go with the ATH-M50, but when I felt how light and sturdy the HD 25s are I had to go with them.
By Pelelneny Go To PostHe doesnt speak so he cant play this game properly.:(
The headphones thread on GAF is a good place to ask around by the way. If you have an idea of what you're looking for (over ear vs on ear / closed vs open etc.) they can usually come up with something good for each budget.
And yeah, open headphones aren't much of a pleasure for people around you :P

Hunter said: "It's a fact that six weeks ago they (Madrid) approached him and asked him 'would you take over?'. That underlines the fact that Pep is seen as the best appointment by every single club."
Fuck off Hunter
Everyone already knows this shit, especially second part. Annoying cunt
By Fintan Go To PostWhat headphones would you recommend?I have quite a few
ATHM50 aren't the most expensive I have buy they're my fav
I just found out the 'k' button is play/pause on youtube. Always annoyed me that the spacebar did shit all
My Audio set up is so fragmented. I have an AV receiver that powers the speakers in the living room. Has Spotify connect and AirPlay for easyily playing stuff on it.
Have a Sonos in my room, use it for radio/Spotify/GPM. I also run AirSonos on a raspberryPi so that I can airplay to the Sonos. Only reason I really use airplay is for podcasts, though, since Sonos doesn't have a good solution to them.

To be fair, I never bothered to look it up. But I just stumbled upon a video that happens to mention it. I mean I'm not that lazy that I can't use my mouse. But having a key that does it is more convenient.

Why don't you just hook up a Sonos Connect to your receiver so you can control everything in the Sonos app? If you just make sure that the harddrive with the music on it is shared in your network you can approach it in the Sonos app. You can control Spotify in the Sonos app. And you have your raspberry in the Sonos app I'm guessing? Never heard of a raspberry running Sonos dedicated for airplay so I'm not quite sure how that works. But it sounds brilliant actually.
Oh and obviously every other Sonos device you add is controlled inside the app. Also nice to be able to group them. So you can play the same music on your receiver at the same time as your Sonos speaker elsewhere in your house. So you won't miss a beat if you move from one room to the other.

But having a key that does it is more convenient.I don't own a Sonos connect, at the moment it's be a near £300 purchase just to bring by AV receiver under Sonos control. The Sonos app is pretty rubbish in spots too. I think in the future when I get my own place instead of renting with others, I'll probably end up with more Sonos devices, so it'll make sense then.

The Raspberry runs some homebrew software the finds any Sonos devices on your network and creates AirPlay targets for them on the network. When you AirPlay music to those targets, it actually gets sent to the Raspberry and that sends it on to the right Sonos as a radio stream. Means it switches to the right source and everything automatically. (https://github.com/stephen/airsonos)
That's pretty neat. That way you don't need an Apple Airport and at least a Play 5 or the connect (amp). So even people with let's say three Play 1's stached around the house can use the airplay feature if they setup a raspberry pi to do the job with that homebrew software.
And yes, the Connect ain't cheap. But since you said it felt fragmented. That one device will bring basically everything together in one app. Except for the podcasts you still control trough your iphone menu's with airplay.

Dean, don't let those cunts get in the way of listening to film music. John Williams and Desplat make wonderful music.

Managed to get a small refund, so it wasn't a huge deal, and had and old RaspberryPi floating around. That app can run on a PC/Mac too, I just don't have an always on machine in the house.

Agree about the fragmentation, I just can't run £300 for the sake of defragmenting everything. :p

Didn't he just sign for some team in Mexico?
By Esch Go To PostDelle Alli was yours if you wanted him.And Ronaldo your's :P
Yaya Toure and Ibrahimovic as well if memory serves.
Would sting less if he wouldn't instantly make us much better as well as being such a prospect

Yeah, I never agonize over those "Wenger almost signed him" players though. We probably wouldn't have won the league/CL if we signed them and they'd have been off to top clubs anyway during that stadium move period, just like the others.
You should just be happy that with Klopp, maybe you'll move away from Harry Redknapp style Match of the Day transfer scouting.

Kinda worried that we'll go for mahrez or Vardy in the summer and they'll Lallana it
Something about Ighalo makes me think it'd be worth it though, so fuck knows where my logic is :P
