- Comment on Good ear protection for concerts. 3 weeks ago:
I prefer a 20db cut that’s flat across frequencys. Most audio engineer plugs like the etymotic range aim for that midpoint.
If I’m chainsawing, it’s big muffling 30db cut earmuffs.
- Comment on Good ear protection for concerts. 3 weeks ago:
I’ve been using these for years for concerts, gym classes and always take spares to festivals to give to friends. They are designed for an even 20db cut when listening to music. They have the same fit as the cheaper ER20 but the xs have clearer top end.
I use them 3x a week and have a few pairs. They don’t last forever as the baffles get softer over time. At $40 they last me a year which is pretty good value.

If it’s all the same driver board, they save on complexity of having different parts. I hate it but it’s true. Samsung gaming monitors now have to keep track of a remote to change settings.

- Comment on Considering the Heavy involvement of CGI in today's action films, shouldn't we consider them to be just hyper realistic cartoon films ? 5 months ago:
In the industry there used to be a big split between cg animation and vfx work. Different pipelines, different organisation of crew. Now a lot of vfx films have whole sequences of full cg shots, so it’s not so different to making animation.

- Comment on “We Can Still Contact Technical Support in the West”: Russian weapons are being manufactured on foreign machinery — but why are they still running? 6 months ago:
For engineering equipment it’s often impossible to deal with the manufacturer. Your purchasing, training, calibration and trouble shooting has to be done by local resellers who do all this. It can be a huge pain in the ass and just slows everything down unless you get a rare reseller that really knows their shit.
