WC 1M Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Morning rush hour on the subways sucks. Big time. And won't get any better any time soon.

Most truly wireless (I have a pair) currently are 1st gen. Which means 3.5hrs and down of max talk time per charge. They also only do stereo for music in both ears with mono audio in one ear for talk time.

Gotta decide on what your priorities are with them first (music vs talk time). Flossy Carter has a video on his channel where he reviewed 10 truly wireless ones he liked. His perspective was from a music first for gym workouts, then calls. I got my Jam Ultras and while I like them, I'd use them only for winter with a hat on. I wasn't a neck band person until the Sony's I used and then the RHA's. I went with those are my primary because great battery life for music playback time and calls between charges for my commute are important for me. Plus, they fold up really nicely in the pouch and with my hat on aren't as obtuse.

Thank you, I'll check out his video. Talk time is the primary thing for me.

First days are always messy... Why is that?

Anyway, it's not been too bad. Going to take some time to get used to the systems here.
 
Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Had a long post I threw away. Here's the short version:

1) If had to buy a phone and wanted to be objective, I'd get a Pixel 3 (software support, camera, compact design).

2) If I was buying a phone and I was being cash conscious, I'd get an S9 on a carrier for the best all round experience (outside of software support)

3) If I wanted an exotic and money wasn't a problem, I'd get a Mate RS (design, camera hardware features I like)

4) Because audio is super important to me right now and I have a history of sacrificing camera, I'm stuck with LG for now.

5) As for XZ3 VS XZ2, Damir Franc's XZ2 and XZ3 videos are worth watching. He tries to answer your question at the end of the XZ3 video. Basically, you cannot go wrong with either. I'll go see the XZ3 again and get back to you with something a bit firmer. To me, Sony turned the corner with the XZ2 (same as in the XZ3) camera wise. Still not quite Pixel, but can hold its own VS the S9 very well.
Something to think about then.

I'm not overly fond of the idea of another Sony device but if it's better than I might consider it. I looked at the prices of the XZ2 (new) not too bad. The XZ3 is still too expensive.

I'd consider a Pixel but I don't know. Too pricey.

Pixels are worth the price. Deals abound everywhere. S9 is a great device too. Always one generation behind but I don't miss anything from my Pixel. Security updates are current though.

Don't like Samsung. With the Pixel, except for older models, nothing under 980 Euros here.

I don't want to be tied to a carrier either.

Not buying right away but realistically I won't buy anything over 500 Euros. Don't mind an older device so long as it has an upgrade path of some sort.

Sitting here at the Dade County courthouse for a chat with hizzoner. I haven’t had a traffic ticket in over a decade so I’m hoping to channel my best Johnny Cochran skeelz.

Remember, my last Sony phone was a Z3, so these two are a massive improvement. I think you have an XZ, so I'm not sure for you.

Stuck in training all day through Thursday.
Ugh.
That means cleaning up the clogged up moderation queue at lunch.
As always Mondays do not disappoint.

Booyah! Case dismissed, lack of prosecution. I owe that lady cop a pastelito and Cafecito next time I see her.

So I'm in the laundromat, I'll be a keyboard warrior here between cycles. It is cold outside. Got me wishing tomorrow was Friday and not Tuesday.
