You didn’t mention if you’ll be watching movies or playing videos games; if so, then you’ll wanna look for some headphones with “low latency mode” because regular bluetooth headphones will introduce about a quarter-of-a-second lag—hardly an issue if you’re just listening to music, but very noticeable when you’re watching videos or playing games.

Two low latency headphones that have worked well for me are the E600 Pro by Ankbit and the NC35 by Srhythm, both of which are in your price range (under $100 on Amazon).

EDIT 1: Both of these headphones pair with the low latency USB dongle from 1Mii, which is sold separately for around $30.

EDIT 2: Here’s a video to test the latency of your current set of headphones. I found it easiest to test by holding a piece of paper up to my screen so I could tell if the moving white bar was visible or not by the time I heard the beep. Another way that I tested was to record while holding my headphones up to my separate wired USB microphone, and then opening up the audio tracks from the latency test video itself and my recording in Audacity, at which point the latency is very visible.

Worth noting that technically, pretty much every pair of headphones will have “some” latency, but where it starts becoming a problem is anything more than 50 to 100 milliseconds, which is very noticeable when you’re playing a game and the sounds are not in sync with your in-game actions—likewise when you’re watching a video with spoken words where the words are not in sync with the subject’s lips.

If you’re just casually listening to music, there’s no issue, but anything that involves video and audio together will be very noticeable.

yo_scottie_oh,

Maybe you happened to have low latency phones, but in my experience the low latency is explicitly marketed somewhere in the product description or on the packaging. I believe there are also different low latency technologies. For example, the 1Mii dongle and both of my wireless headphones use aptX technology.

To be clear, you’re saying you’ve watched videos and/or played video games with all your old headphones and never noticed any latency?

How do I archive a podcast I've already downloaded in Playapod (iOS) that has since gone offline?

Hello c/datahoarder! I need your help. Not sure whether this has been asked before—I’ve tried searching the web, but the only advice I can find is how to download episodes for podcasts whose feeds are still active....

yo_scottie_oh,

Thanks for the idea. I figured out how to get what I wanted and edited the solution into my post. Thanks again!

This helped me, thank you so much! I filtered by .mp3 and I’m using DownThemAll to download all the episodes in batches.

ETA at first, all the downloads failed because I was attempting to download multiple files simultaneously. After configuring DownThemAll to allow only one simultaneous download, it’s been smooth sailing.

yo_scottie_oh,

But the shareholders didn’t do nothing, they provided capital.

yo_scottie_oh, (edited )

Except they didn’t. Whomever [sic] purchased the stock initially did, and often that amount is a shadow of what the stock is currently traded at.

This ignores two other very important roles that subsequent shareholders play:

  • Give initial investors the opportunity re-deploy their capital elsewhere when they choose to do so.
  • Signal the value of the company’s equity, in real time, on the open market. When the stock is trading above IPO price (as your rebuttal implies), this enables the company to raise more capital by borrowing against its equity and/or selling shares of its own stock.

In light of these critical roles, it’s vastly unfair to say that shareholders contribute nothing to the delivery of goods and services—quite the opposite.

yo_scottie_oh,

For the kids reading at home, this is what an ad hominem attack looks like—a logical fallacy in which one attacks their opponent personally instead of addressing the merits of their argument.
