   Oh no I think my recently purchased DT770 Pros have turned me into a headphone snob. 😭 I bought them recently & listen to music at my desk while working, first time I spent decent money on headphones. I have some cheap TaoTronic BT headphones that I use for podcasts while I’m doing housework, but due to most podcasts being on break I listened to music on them today. I found myself thinking about the “muddyness of the mids” compared to hearing these tracks at my desk, please kill me now 😬

     @GeekAndDad it’s a relative thing, I’m basically a scrub when you get down to it 😉

     @sinbad Plus at ~US$150, those aren’t snob headphones. Just no longer “Cheap Junk.” Snob headphones start at at least twice that. At least that’s what my actual snob headphone friend spent 😂

     @sinbad 😄 I think I still have some old TaoTronic BT buds in a “might need someday” drawer. These days I do like the beyers for music and some swanky Sony noise cancelling ones for Teams calls - but the ones I use the most for music and podcasts are some cheap EarFun Air BT buds that live in my pocket, so much so that both them and my phone have worn outlines on the outside of the jeans. Plenty good enough for my cloth ears when I don’t want to wear cans: https://amzn.eu/d/0gdyx7T
