    Bluetooth Headphones

    thanks, i'm looking into these which are basically an update of the same model, was wondering if they're confortable and if they hold well in your ears when jogging... obviously that depends on each one's ears but they come with 3 different hybrid earbuds sizes right?

    I feel like the wi-c200s and the wi-c310s are basically the same, 15 hour battery life, usbc, same price, same desig, etc. I just use the ear buds it came with and they dont fall out and they're comfortable. I do have some foam ones from comply but I keep them on my OneMore triple driver wired earphones.

    you've had them for how long?
    Had them since last April or May. I usually just keep them around my neck and take calls with them and listen to music or watch videos. there's a light in-ear monitor when youre taking a call, never had a pair do that, its subtle, but it's actually helpful because it makes you more aware if you're rustling your signal with wind or crumpling your jacket without whoeveer youre talking to having to point it out. They were only $30. Before this pair I went through countless aptx mpows off of Amazon, which I liked but they would always break due to light water damage, like from sweat. These are better IMO. They can get loud, full volume is almost too much. Once again having a phone thats USB c, its nice to have the same charger for the headphones.

    [http://www] If—Rudyard Kipling




    IF you can keep your head when all about you
    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
    If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
    But make allowance for their doubting too;
    If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
    Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
    Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
    And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

    If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
    If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
    If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
    And treat those two impostors just the same;
    If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
    Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
    And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

    If you can make one heap of all your winnings
    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
    And lose, and start again at your beginnings
    And never breathe a word about your loss;
    If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
    To serve your turn long after they are gone,
    And so hold on when there is nothing in you
    Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

    If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
    ' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
    if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
    If all men count with you, but none too much;
    If you can fill the unforgiving minute
    With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
    Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
    And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

    Rockledge 3A is my favorite off the album.



    [https://d1rgjmn2wmqeif]



    Having broken a decade's silence with 2016's 'System', LA-based electronic musician Joseph Fraioli, a.k.a. Datach’i, returns this summer with his eighth album 'Bones'. Released on Venetian Snares' Timesig imprint, 'Bones' features 12 tracks of mind expanding electronica, once again recorded on his custom-built Eurorack modular system.

    Much like its predecessor, 'Bones' manages to make the most of the possibilities modular systems offer, whilst avoiding their many pitfalls that can often turn such music into little more than a dry academic exercise. Indeed 'Bones' is a remarkably intimate album, written and recorded in the time following his father's death, and reflects this intense period of personal change in Joseph's life. "Creating this music was a therapy of sorts," Joseph recalls. "It was almost like a close friend being there for me, and it's something that I hope others can, perhaps, utilize in the same way."

    The connection to his father is something that is reflected not just in the emotional intensity of 'Bones', but in the actual production itself. "My father and I were very close," he explains. "Whilst he was sick with cancer I bought him a guitar as he wanted to learn how to play, just to have something to do while he was getting treated. After he passed away my mother gave me the guitar to have as a sort of memory of him. I had the idea to record some sounds and music on the guitar and load it onto granular sample players on the modular synth so I could make new music from those sounds as a sort of tribute to my dad. You can hear some of those sounds on a few of the tracks here like 'Arrivals', 'Motion in the Living Room' and 'Undimension'."

    The resulting album grapples with the intensity of these emotions. But for all their weight, tracks like 'Saugerties Road', ‘Rockledge 3A’ and ‘Antumalal’ transform that heaviness into something warm and comforting whilst the aforementioned 'Arrivals' or ‘Wand’ ultimately achieve some kind of escape velocity and soar.

    Even though 'Bones' is about endings and finding closure, it also looks forward to new beginnings. "It was something very much on my mind throughout recording this album," he relates, "ends being beginnings and beginnings being the end. Cycles of time and how time works, it's all reflected throughout the album right down to how the tracks are ordered."

    Ranging from blissful ambience and guileless, starry eyed melodies, to intricate claustrophobic rhythms that forever sound close to collapsing in on themselves before expanding into bold new patterns, 'Bones' is the work of a producer who, twenty years on from his debut, continues to push the boundaries of electronic music

    I think Vortrack was a good single though, it might be my second fav off the album actually. It's... different... Reminds me of go plastic era stuff. And it slaps quite nicely. The whole album is good loud but Vortrack in particular pounds.

    Agreed - makes me feel like a cicada molting, shedding my exoskeleton, about to charge into the sky. 

     

    Thats what you meant, right?

    I really like the vocal treatment.
    What were they thinking with that name tho.  Why?
    My guess is they wanted to stake claim on the postmodern trope of personifying an inanimate object as a bandname, and perhaps the only hip ones left were in the cock and ball region. Would have went with phallic shroud

    Damn, you guys are ripping them a new asshole! The production value is quite nice, along with aesthetics. Not really the direction I want warp to go towards, but I still can appreciate it--although I'm not a fan of Regina Spektor sounding voices, she sounds good. Warp has been alienating their fanbase for years and years.
