i use the earphones that came with my phone

You need noise canceling to hear the music clearer

buying a gpu right now is not "finding the best deal" !!

1. I don't have a choice I needed a card asap capable of running good games

2. The card was only 100 higher than msrp

Meanwhile other cards are 800 or 900 dollars or more!

I remember back when Blackberry phones were a thing and I had one and I tried to use the earphones that came with it, they were the worst thing in the world ever, the most uncomfortable thing I've ever experienced

Yep they suck. I've always used Amazon ones (not Amazon brand but cheap Chinese ones sold on Amazon, the ones now are called otium) or bose

It was a good deal for the card because you aren't going to find a card for MSRP

If a card is 100 over MSRP and is ranked pretty decently in terms of analytics you need to buy

Also I doubt the headphones that came with your phone are wireless unlesss it's an apple and they gave you buds with it (never owned an apploe so not sure if they do that)

The headphones I've been given with phones are always wired

If they were buds I'd use them constantly

I really like this keyboard.
"Tuxedo" from Ducky

I could talk about keyboards for years, but if you're looking to spend a couple hundred on a board, let me know and I can give you some options.

This set is copying GMK Honeywell, if you were interested.

This is actually not true

Noise cancelling works by injecting cancelling frequencies into the headphones. They are actually nosier than non-NCX headphones.

It's great for isolation, but not great for actual listening quality.

Ahh, it is!
I was looking through the website last night with my best friend for a while. We saw a few that we liked.
He's legit thinking about buying this one:

I also saw a pretty cool one that I REALLY liked, but it's out of stock unfortunately:

lol, the keyboard hobby has exploded the last couple years allowing for the creation of stuff like this.

i prefer a simpler style - these feel a little "culture vulture" to me, but i'm glad that there's so many options for people now.

i put a lot of time/money into the feel and sound of my boards and have found a few decent setups i like. they require assembly. though.

I'd say Leopold probably makes the best "prebuilt" boards out there right now. They're great.

He saw the same thing about Leopold being probably the best board of those at the moment. I've seen some that look pretty nice as well from them.
I'm also more of a full-sized keyboard user. I actually use my numpad quite a bit.

I'm actually a numpad fan too. I work with tons of IP addresses on the daily and it makes it easier, but i'm going form over function these days. I like TKL and 65% boards that don't have numbers because they look way better IMO.

They do look really nice without the numpad.
I didn't know that the switches had a color-coded sound label to them until last night. Or perhaps "sound" isn't the right word to use really. It's all actually pretty interesting.
