Just because you've spent on an expensive amp, doesn't mean it's worth it. This isn't a post for your confirmation bias. Multiple hobbyists including Crinacle, Joshua Valour, Timmy Vangtan as well as the entire headphone community on Reddit discourage people from buying expensive amps/dacs. For...

Samsung is your only option currently. Take a look at the F22. Comes with an OLED display, 6000 mah battery, Mediatek G80 SoC, updated to Android 12 and the 6GB/128GB variant falls under 15K INR.

Honestly, I'd suggest holding up. This is July already and the next batch of iPhones are coming out in 1-2 months time. As a result, you'll be able to pick up the iPhone 12 new for the same price you're paying for the old now. And if I had to pick between the two, I'd go for the 11 Pro. Better...

The ratio of headphone to amps/dacs should ideally be 4:1. Instead, this guy went the other way around, spending more than four times the amount he spent on his pair of headphones.

If the success of your business depends on a virality of a reel, then you're doing it wrong. There are various other effective ways to get customers and pushing a viral reel isn't one of them. You need a steady stream of loyal, paying customers and you can't achieve that if the focus is only on...

Miser? Definitely. However, there's no denying that Steam has pushed the PC industry forward. At a time when Epic backed out of the PC business in 2008 because of Gears, Xbox and blaming everything on piracy, Steam held its own. I have been using Steam for the past decade and the evolution of...

The psychological aspect of "free" things is that - people tend to less appreciate things that come to them for free. Case in point, Epic doing free giveaways for almost 3 years now and still not even close to Steam in terms of revenue/market share. The thing is - when you've built your...

The OP has a pretty decent specced gaming laptop. Hence, Steam gaming won't be a problem, unless he has other plans. So, consider my suggestion as a way to convince him to ditch costly subscription services on consoles. Collecting digital perpetual license isn't a hobby. It's a way of...

I'm not sure you're accustomed to Steam. Most games (apart from a few publishers) come with regional pricing. So, a newly released game costing $60 elsewhere (and on consoles) will cost around $13-15 in the Indian Steam store. Hence, you are already paying less. And then you have multiple sales...

I don't support or recommend subscription services, especially for games. Yes, in movies, it can work, since you'll only be spending two-three hours of your life. But, games are a different mode of entertainment. The reason is because, you cannot expect a game to finish within mere 2-3 hours...

Unless you're a fitness freak or don't like to have your phone with you at all times, there's absolutely no need to get an Apple Watch or any smart watch for that matter. Most people I see using smart watches buy it for show-off or use the features for the first couple of days, and then continue...

Out of topic: What were your reasoning behind buying all these cheap earphones in bulk instead of spending just on one for your daily driver? For instance, you could have got the CCA CRA for the same price you spent on these three.

The weight should not be much of an issue. With a good grippy case (preferably from Spigen), it will only take a week or so to get accustomed to the weight. My mom also made quite a similar switch - from a Nokia 5233 (113g) to a LG W41 (201g). Every One UI device these days support Smart...

You can take a look at the Samsung F22 (6GB/128GB). Currently sitting at around 14K INR on Flipkart. Should be perfect for your dad's needs. Moreover, it comes with an AMOLED display (although 720P). However, the phone is slick fast due to its One UI Core (lightweight version of the full One...

iOS "feels" smoother is because of the longer animation speed. Not to mention that the iPhone 13's display is still stuck at 60 HZ while the S22 can do 120 HZ. If you move from Android to iOS, you'll instantly notice the slower animations on iOS. Android will feel light speed in comparison...

The fact that you have to use a pretentious, bogus, laggy and POS software like iTunes just for managing files on iOS - even in 2022 - is enough of a reason to not buy an iPhone. Not to mention the non-existent notification system and Apple's web apps that are living in dinosaurs' age. If...

If the state of the headphone is in good condition, then there's nothing to worry about. However, you should have got the Monoprice Modern Retro + Brainwavz XL pads. They blow the M20X out of the water and would have cost you just a slight more than what you paid (around 4.5K INR). The M20X is...

Technically, yes. Ads will bring more revenue in the long term than a one-time payment. But, there are several things to keep in mind: 1. Buying the app with an one-time payment helps the dev to leverage interest from angel investors, showcasing how his/her users are converting into paid...

That quoted double digit "numeric dollar value" was from an analyst working at a very reputable firm handling assets in billions of dollars. So, yeah, I'd trust his word any day. And if you've been in the tech industry for last ten years at least, you'd know that the concept that "Apple has the...

The production costs that you're quoting can be directed towards any product - be it wired or wireless. Of course a wireless TWS will need to spend more on the licensing fees, which are only one time payments. But, then again, a lot of those costs are off-settled by using similar components...
