    Not at all and my husband actually chided me about recommending those saying they are much worse in sound quality. So ignore that and just convince the woman to drop the extra 50. Or wait till they go on sale.

    So here's my trick: Whenever I go to buy new headphones I pick like...3-4 pairs that I'm interested in and set up a big spreadsheet. And then I'll randomly go up to her and be like "Well I was thinking...the XBB-848's have a lower max impedance, but the Y-98's have a better low end sound...I just don't know..." And then do that again like...10x over the course of an hour. And then eventually she'll just scream "Buy whatever damn headphones you want, just shut up about it already!"

    So that might work.

    That is basically what I do. I talk about it constantly until she tells me to just buy it and leave her alone.

    Biggest reason I'm not going crazy is a guy is coming out here today to fix my net since I upgraded to gigabit net so I'm suppose to pull 1000mbps or close and I get like....250. So if he changes out the modem it's all for naught.

    I have a pair of Bose QC35's that are a couple of years old. I'd say they're good as far as sound quality BUT my left ear pad completely separated after one year of use and I didn't want to invest anymore money in them so I use them as-is. Oh I also got mine half-price at the time too ($150).

    That or I condition her that certain things aren't an option like she won't even question when I buy a PS5.

    Frequency response might not be an issue because of the quality of the source I am listening to. I am not sure though. I imagine it would matter if you are listening to a pure source like a cd or lp but streaming, and files might not make that a factor.

    Your Internet connection is very fast.

    Your Internet connection should be able to handle multiple devices streaming HD videos, video conferencing, and gaming at the same time.


    That's my current on wireless that is actually better than it has been...
