I had problems with 2 sets of the MTW3, so I'd definitely say hold off until some long-term reviews are out. They sounded great, but the 1st set started crackling and the 2nd stopped charging. Both sets really struggled with connection stability in busy environments. They were fine at home...

They also seem to have introduced a display bug - text randomly blanks out for me on a 3080 ti.

Yeah I had a bad case of buyer's remorse there. For the price, these are unbelievable.

Great review - mine arrived yesterday and I'm very impressed. I'm a convert - they're on a different level to SE425 and Westone Mach 20 I've been using for mobile listening.

Play Baldur's Gate through, but take your time playing Baldur's Gate 2. Writing wise, it's up there with best games I've played.

The 16gb 4080 is expensive enough that I'll wait to see what AMD has to offer. I'm on 12gb now and I can't see any point moving to another 12gb card.

I honestly can't see who they think will pay those prices for a consumer mobo. You don't need a pcie 5 m.2 or 16x for gaming. Pro content creation would take advantage of the faster storage, but you're tied to a 16 core cpu and dual channel memory. The sensible choice for most gamers would be...

Thanks! I'll probably be upgrading in 2024 anyway, so I could make a saving but I also remember getting stung by the stingy memory on the GTX 780 back in the day...

In practical terms, is 12gb likely to be a bottleneck at 4k in the next year or so?

Yeah it's easy money for the first company to get something like that out at a decent price. I'm using mine for editing more than gaming, so I went with colour accuracy and mini-led with HDR1000. Meant dropping down to 4K 60Hz and losing VRR though.

It seems wildly optimistic for Intel to expect dx9-era game deva to provide any support for hardware that didn't exist at the time. One of the biggest sells of PC gaming is that you can still play your back catalogue on modern hardware... Fortunately there's Proton and dgVoodoo 2.

If I'm being cynical, you'll get adverts directly to your earbuds when you go into a shop.

Not sure something can drop by 0%...

Don't forget to buy an audiophile network cable to go with it...

I'm a hobbyist photographer, so I'm a bit paranoid about backups. I use Macrium Reflect to image everything up to 2 external SSDs monthly. I keep 1 at home and 1 at work. I also have an external HDD where I keep a physical copy of the files as an archive (I only add files to it). Oh and a...
