Tangzou Wan'er v KZ ZSN v Qilian Q3 v Moondrop CHU 2 — 2 years ago I bought some KZ ZSN Pro X on a whim as a replacement (As iF!) for my $300 Audio Technica something or others. Blown away and loved them, totally, arguably the best canal phone I'd had and in no way the dearest. Since then I've bought some Meze Classic 99 and HiFiMan Anandas, but the KZ buds have been my go-to in-ears, for flights, train rides, falling asleep in bed etc. Recently I got some Qilians from Amazon Vine (it's like

I feel weird. Does anybody else feel the same? Any ideas why this might be the case for me? Thanks!
would you use this? — Hey everyone, I’m a final-year student, and for my graduation project I built a gaming mouse. While working on it, I started thinking about some problems that most current mice have, and I’d love to get your feedback on a potential solution. # Problems I noticed: 1. Battery issues When your wireless mouse dies, you either: have to plug in a cable and keep using it wired, or spend a lot of money on something like a wireless charging mousepad My idea: Use a quick-s
