Yeah, I mean, like the company, if you look at it like this, this does seem like a company that's really focused on this type of, you know.

durable rugged no nonsense modular you know they're not aiming for the super duper audiophiles there is a little bit of like a an aesthetic they're going for um but yeah it's good to know companies like this are out there i'd never heard of this company but uh these products look like that if the if the fender mix appeal to you these might appeal to you as well and the prices seem similar i looked at one or two of them they're only like 300 bucks or so

And for good reason, that's not modular.

That's just like skinning.

That's like the face plates that you get for your Xbox.

So the thing's just going to the little clips are going to break off and it's just going to fall off like that's it.

And another creaky part.

Well, the good headphones would have connectors on both ends.

So you just buy a new wire.

One of the things they're showing on this IIII website is that – I'm thinking of another thing that breaks on headphones is like –

The plug for wired headphones, the wire that goes into your headphones connects to one of the ear cups.

If you're lucky, you don't have those ones that connect to both.

But anyway, if it kicks in one of your ear cups, that means there's a wire somehow that takes the sound signal from that one ear cup over to the other ear cup.

Usually that wire goes across the headband.

And sometimes that wire that brings the signal from one ear to the other can be small and can wear out, especially since the band's stretchy.

And this video they're showing on their website for their TMA-2DJ $200 headphones shows that they're entirely...

has little like whatever the 3.5 millimeter like headphone jacks oh yeah i think they're 2.5 up there but yeah yeah so the band is replaceable and if that breaks or that wire wears out or something else happens to it you chuck that away you buy another band and you plug the band into each of your ear cups and problem solve is it is very modular yeah that's hardcore um and i yeah that that is a that's a great situation there also the the other ways the headphones are

Very, very quick.

It sounds warmer in here.

These apps are kind of right in the sweet spot of things that are possible without too much effort on the Mac.
