I assumed he meant no USB-C no buy.
I could be wrong.

My bad, I thought you'd get my reference since you've been here for a while. I am quoting @bonehead123 since he's frequently telling this for new PC cases. Took me a while, but I think I am finally on board.

tbh, i am an overthinker and don't get many things straight, that's my problem, sometimes i change my post, like initially i wrote "is this correct?" but afterthought proved me wrong here again.

This is my latest purchase. I feel these headphones are undervalued for how much they are worth. You can often hear how high-quality the hardware (or software) of many sound engineers is with these headphones. I can hear in music that the voice has been digitally processed in a way that I don't think the band's sound engineers want it heard. I also frequently hear roughness and imperfections in songs that I would think the sound engineers simply won't have heard. The headphones render more details than what many people who arrange CD mastering have heard, and this strikes me strongly. But with Lana Del Rey's original 24-bit lossless songs, it is then again noticeable that the sound engineers used high-quality equipment for mastering the songs and there you hear their talent for this job.

Dammit. Cancelled them. They dont work with WinXP

Question - New Patriot 128GB SSDs are not seen by Windows XP but Windows 10 sees them; why ?

I've connected a lot of SATA drives to various motherboards over the years and have never seen this behavior before. I recently bought a 10-pack of Patriot 128 gb SSDs and none of them are "visible" on a PC running Windows XP. They show up in the BIOS as the system boots, but they don't show...

No 5090s today folks,... the 5080 is still a sweet upgrade.
