What would you need roon for on your tv or oven?

Who needs a TV built into their fridge, yet still Samsung makes them.



More seriously, Samsung makes CE sound systems, and I’d hate to see Roon start to shrivel and die if Samsung decides to prioritize their brands/ delay competitors certification, or other brands decide they don’t want to give Samsung/Harman money as they are competing in the same markets.

Fridge, play me something!

Future Christmas songs are gonna be weird... "like the christmases I used to know, when we gathered around the stove, to watch the grinch, his heart grow twenty inch, while mom roasted the bird..."

I’m unsure myself. I love Roon personally, so I’m a little afraid of Samsung f*cking with it. Which may happen, but I liked the fact that the Roon team is staying and it’ll be handled as a separate entity, as opposed to being swallowed whole and becoming a proprietary “feature” of Samsung and Harmon gear.

Yes but whilst Samsung probably aren’t google levels of shit how nest got swallowed and regurgitated out always makes me hesitant with these kind of things, even if the original team remains.

This is the key. Plenty of companies are acquired with press releases pronouncing their ongoing independence and continuing leadership, only to be gutted after a year or so, when existing customers have bought into the initial company line and not bailed.

Wasn't sure where to ask, so we're dropping it here. I need some corded earbud recommendations. Not bank breaking, but don't need to be dirt cheap.

I love my Meze buds, but these cords are making me crazy and I can't find a way to "straighten" them out.


Thanks

Are the cords detachable? I’m guessing not?

I think @Mather has some experience with wired earbuds and may be the fella to ask.

Unfortunately no.

I am a big big fan of Campfire Audio. They have a wide range of lines.

@AnthonyI Darko likes Campfire as well if you want to check out some reviews.

@AnthonyI depending on price range I have heard a lot of them and can give you some guidance if you're interested.

Looks like the Orbits are on sale but I know Mather likes to make it rain.

Actually those are about the same price as my first pair of the Campfires the "IO". But those Orbits are actually wireless.

Do they even make wired? I’m not seeing that on their site.

Oh wait…. Do the streaming wires connect to the earphones?
