I asked a similar question to this a couple of weeks ago due to me needing them for work, and I ended up going with the Loop Experience 2 and they’ve been fantastic.
They dampen the sound around me but I can still hear voices clearly, and they’re really comfortable and I barely notice I’ve got them in.
- Comment on *Everyone liked that* 1 month ago:
It’s the irony that people complain about Reddit being full of hate and one of the reasons they left, and yet Lemmy is full of shit like this.
- Comment on *Everyone liked that* 1 month ago:
You don’t have to like the guy or his job to think that he shouldn’t be gunned down in the fucking street.
- Comment on *Everyone liked that* 1 month ago:
What a cesspit this site is.
- Comment on In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return? 2 months ago:
Trump is the worst dictator ever, seeing as he literally got voted out last time and could do nothing about it.
- Comment on Is there any truth to this? 2 months ago:
This is called “virtue signalling”.

Filters are your friend.
- Comment on As AI and megaplatforms take over, the hyperlinks that built the web may face extinction 2 months ago:
Are you saying that my knowledge of how to hyperlink in HTML is going to be obsolete?!
- Comment on How Bluesky, Alternative to X and Facebook, Is Handling Growth 2 months ago:
I’ve been tempted to give Bluesky another go after it left beta, but apparently you still can’t set up feeds so they all show up in one instead of having to swipe through all of them.
It felt too much like work keeping up with things, so I gave up.
- Comment on Why BlueSky Isn’t the Alternative to X (Formerly Twitter) You’re Looking For — and Why Mastodon Is the Better Choice Over X, Threads, and BlueSky 2 months ago:
I remember when I first tried to use Mastodon and struggled with how best to make it work, so I asked what was probably a basic question to the Enlightened™. Instead of being helped, I was met with “it’s easy, maybe you’re just dense?”.
Then I thought that maybe Mastodon doesn’t have the kind of people I’d want to interact with on it.

Did you know that wanting to browse cat pics is just a distraction from the oppression of late stage capitalism by the bourgeoisie?
- Comment on What do you like/dislike about lemmy? 2 months ago:
Or that they just want to get away from politics for five minutes.
- Comment on An Update from PlayStation Studios (Neon Koi and Firewalk Studios are closing) 2 months ago:
I guess Concord isn’t coming back as free-to-play then.
- Comment on Bill Would Force The Department of Veterans Affairs to Overhaul Suicide Prevention Algorithm That Favors White Men. 2 months ago:
It would be, but is that what’s happening?
The article seemed to mention men and women, but nothing to do with race apart from the headline.
- Comment on Bill Would Force The Department of Veterans Affairs to Overhaul Suicide Prevention Algorithm That Favors White Men. 2 months ago:
Headline leaning into the culture wars a bit there, isn’t it?
I’d fully expect a program like this to favour white men given they make up the majority of the armed forces. It’s called maths. Or “math” I guess, in America.
- Comment on Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza 2 months ago:
If Israel wanted to commit a genocide in Palestine, they could literally carpet bomb the entire place in a day and be done with it.
- Comment on Trying to reverse climate change won’t save us, scientists warn 2 months ago:
It’s because I didn’t go on a rant about capitalism.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
No one, because I live in the UK.
But I would vote Harris with zero enthusiasm.
- Comment on Trying to reverse climate change won’t save us, scientists warn 2 months ago:
My point is that slowing down the heating of the planet is doable (though you’d need the majority of the world contributing, which is highly unlikely to happen), but we can’t reverse the damage that has already been done, which some people seem to think is possible.
We’re not as powerful as we think we are.
- Comment on Trying to reverse climate change won’t save us, scientists warn 2 months ago:
Do people seriously think we could “reverse” climate change?
That’s not how the climate works.
- Comment on Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza 2 months ago:
You can go on a protest whenever you want. Don’t expect your employers to be enthusiastic about it if you organise one in your workplace, however.
- Comment on Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza 2 months ago:
Lol, what?
You represent your employers at work, not every waking hour.
- Comment on Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza 2 months ago:
I’m sorry that the facts don’t fit your narrative. It must be frustrating.
- Comment on Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza 2 months ago:
It’s literally how employment works. Unless you’re self-employed, you represent the people who pay you.
- Comment on Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza 2 months ago:
If you work for a company, you’re a representative of that company. If you disagree with the businesses they work with, don’t work for that company.
Or if you really have a problem and want to express yourself, don’t do it at your workplace. It’s stupid.
- Comment on Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza 2 months ago:
Why would you organise this on company headquarters without the consent of the company?
If you tell your employers that you hate the way they operate, what do you think is going to happen?

And was patched for 60fps on the PS5. Just like The Last of Us 2.

8 years ago, it was just an idea. It was only in development for 4 years.
