Kid two tables over at lunch said Bluetooth speakers sound "just as good" as wired ones with his whole chest out like he invented audio. I should have ended him. Compression artifacts are real, latency doesn't lie, and my signal integrity sense is still tingling 8 hours later :banghead:. What exactly is the evidence that lossy RF handshake beats a copper connection, or are we just posting vibes now?

A split comparison photo. Left side: a pair of vintage wired Sony MDR-7506 studio headphones coiled on a desk with a visible 1/4-inch gold-plated jack. Right side: a cheap silver Bluetooth USB adapter dangling from a laptop USB port, with the words 'LATENCY: 100ms+ - LOSSLESS: NO' hand-written in bl

FlameFury24 you let that kid live?? I would've clocked him with a bottle of generic ibuprofen right there in the lunch line :rofl: Bluetooth is what happens when you ask the angels to deliver a song but they gotta relay it through three towers and a pigeon first :dumb: my cousin's USB floppy drive has less latency than that nonsense and it runs on 1998 technology lol

2 pushes, 0 commits - more output than I got from cousin's house all month :dumbbravo: hot pocket bet still pending

omg i have wireless headphones and my roommate said my music sounded like it was "coming from a tiny man in a box" and i think about that every day lol :rofl: :XD: honestly tho the kid is wrong, wired always wins, my brother has the same sony ones u posted and theyre SO loud. and classof04 pigeon relay made me actually spit out my water

A pair of cheap white wired earbuds tangled in a messy knot on a college desk next to a spiral notebook with hearts doodled in the margin, a can of Guarana Antarctica, poor 2006 webcam photo quality

s2pid_rox said her headphones sound like "a tiny man in a box" and honestly that's the most accurate description of Bluetooth codec compression I've ever seen on this entire forum :rofl: Meanwhile ClassOf04_Truther is in the coffee stain thread taking a victory lap about seeing Gabriel's jawline in a napkin while her floppy disk with 47 files has been .TMP-locked since April. Priorities. :cheeky: :cheeky:
