I have, one might say, a bit of a problem.

“I can quit any time,” I say, as I ponder shopping online for yet another set of headphones. I (probably) won’t buy anything right now, though, because between the Poly-formerly-Plantronics work headset and my excellent Sony listening headphones, I’m set. For the moment.
What brought on the urge to dig through the Box Of Discarded Headsets? Tuesday’s Satisfactory game stream project/idea/thing. The Poly headset is great but after a couple of hours my ears start to hurt. This isn’t a problem very often since usually I’m not in several-hours-long meetings… but the weekly game sessions with the kids can run to nearly three hours and by that point I’m definitely feeling some discomfort. Given that I’ll be streaming for more than three hours on Tuesday (if all goes well) I figured I should check my alternatives.
My current plan? I’m going to stick the Blue Snowball on a boom arm to be my microphone and use the most comfortable just-headphones I have available… which probably means the wired earbuds. But we’ll see.
