I don't have have enough faces and palms for this.

I'll have to pass on these.. yikes.

I dont have issues. What makes it garbage?

Arent you lucky.

Depending on the patch (because sometimes it doesn't do it, the others it does), mine closes for seemingly no reason. Occasionally reads my mobo and controls it. It's also fairly cpu intense... a few/several %.

Those are my issues. Many have issues with it and it is problematic.

Don't forget causing crashes in various games, and also pinging the processor enough that on Ryzen the whole sitting idle at desktop thing doesn't exist if iCue is running.

Absolute garbage.....unfortunately I bought in to the icue eco system, case, fans, strips and ram. Its Good when it works but every new update just brings more bugs and there no support

Do what I do: once you have a version that works without any problems, STICK to it. Do NOT update (unless there is a really strong reason to do so). New isn't always better, there's a reason they say 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'

so whats you point mine is I wouldn't touch this (or Phillips Hue) even if it was given to me for free. In 30+ years of gaming I've never once heard anyone say "Damn I wish I had a R.G.B. L.E.D. lit headphone stand" it's just Fugling Ucky

I've never thought the world is missing a 4 door Porsche or a Lamborghini SUV. Yet here they are

It's ok to say you don't like something, I don't like these either. It's not ok to conclude something is pointless simply because you don't like it.

AsRock · Jul 2, 2020

So what's the use that makes these so useful ?, dust collection ?, maybe to make them even more pointless looking is to have them with their actual headphone stand. Then to hide ? the one that holds headphones.

I guess each to their own.

If you pimped out everything else in the room, a headphone stand with no RGB LEDs would stand out like a sore thumb

Joking aside, if you set this to all white, low brightness, you could easily find the stand after a session with lights out in the room. Still a gimmick, but not totally useless.

AsRock · Jul 2, 2020

Then clearly you should of gotten the other one in the picture, what ever makes'em happy. Only thing i can think of using them for is to direct people though the house.

I don't do that dark room shit, burns your eye balls out.

My point was that it's not any different than the Philips hue ambient color lights. Or RGB light strips behind desk, monitor, or whatever. Just because YOU wouldn't use any of those things doesn't mean others wouldn't.

And to be fair, I like RGB and I have an RGB headphone stand. Does that mean I use unicorn vomit? No. I switch between static colors with cool effects mixed in.
