I use an iPad Mini 5 with the Zagg Rugged Keyboard case, which essentially turns it into a small, iOS-based ToughBook-alike.

It runs all my iOS apps locally, & I use the WiFi or LTE to ssh or vnc into remote VMs or a local Raspberry Pi to run *NIXy things. The keyboard is great; I can manage ~60wpm or so on it, down from ~90wpm on a MacBook Pro.

The Nuraphones are better than the Sonys and the Boses.

It is not 'hit or miss'.

It is the first, and still the best, steampunk novel.

It defined the genre.

Where are the dead grad students?

Oh, there aren't any? Then there's no 'cold fusion' taking place.

The fact that he's still alive and kicking undercuts his thesis.

>They all sound better, on average, than any Bluetooth

No, they don't.

They may sound better than cheap Bluetooth headsets.

But I guarantee they don't sound better than my Nuraphones, or the Sennheiser Momentum 2 Wireless/HD-1s I was using beforehand.

Note that I own both Shure 535s and 846s, as well. The Nuraphone sounds better than either of them.

I use my Nuraphones for business con-calls every day. They sound great on my end and I've been told they sound great on the other end(s) of those calls, as well. Same with the Sennheisers.

>the loss of sound quality

My Nuraphones sound great, as did my Sennheiser Momentum Wireless 2/HD-1 Wireless Bluetooth headphones before them. No static whatsoever.

Just because you're too cheap to pony up for decent Bluetooth headphones doesn't mean the rest of us are.

Why use the in-flight entertainment system when you can bring your own entertainment on your phone or tablet?
