    This is intriguing stuff. I don't use ANC cuz it's weird for me, but I've definitely noticed a bit of readjustment period when going outside with IEMs as passive earplugs.

    Personally I hate ANC, though I haven't really heard ANC gear from the last 2 years or so. I get that it's very useful in some scenarios though, esp. non-music applications.

    Lots of "maybes", "what ifs" and "suggests" in that article. I have colaborated in enough medical trials to discern "blergh" with little substance. This said the topic itself is very intriguing, specially when it comes to stress levels regarding sounds and some opinions are very interesting and something to further research.
    
    Good share.

  LOL, Is this a fake "clone" Mcintosh amp being plugged by a SBAF AliExpress banner ad? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003710029641.html

    I don't see any Aliexpress ads when logged in (only actual sponsors shown). That said, aliexpress clones are discussed from time to time and the ad system is freaky about picking things up. I recently pointed to empty Mcintosh cases on Aliexpress in a profile post which might have caught the eyes of the system.

    I don't think I was logged in when I saw this. And I sometimes click on bizarre AliExpress items which catch my eye, so my personal filter bubble weirdness is probably an outlier. I do want a power supply cow, though.

  4. Lunk_Wray
    Ah, seems to be a version of this (legal?) "Orsefon" branded clone, but but they've just gone for it with the big Mcintosh logo. There's something about high end, high effort counterfeits I find almost admirable. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003454959524.html

    AFAIK, the exact variant isn't routinely tested for. That requires more expensive, time consuming sequencing.
