So I've been reading through this study and comparing it to modern health advice. For the most part, the 22% of energy threshold seems to be above 1.2-1.6 grams of protein per kg of body weight (for active individuals).

The functional advice is: following the guidelines from the FDA will keep you out of the risks outlined in the study.

I never got it until I got Skyrim VR

So many soothing moments beneath an aurora, in a bustling tavern or just walking along a path

Huh, strange. Everywhere I looked online indicated that this pair of headphones has a single TRRS 3.5mm jack that comes with a usb adapter.

TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) and TRRS (tip-ring-ring-sleeve) indicates the number of channels on the 3.5mm jack. TRS is usually dual channel balanced (one channel for ground) whereas TRRS includes an additional channel for a mic.

As for all the other cable stuff, everything you've told me means that the troubleshooting for jacks and cables can stop there (I'm also assuming the echo happens in both ears and not just one). If we can't replace the cable, we can't tell if the problem is the cable or the headphones. I doubt the USB adapter will help either, unless JBL has some weird thing going on with that.

The echo being affected by your headphones volume control makes me think the internal wiring is miswired somewhere along the signal chain. You should still be able to use the headphones without the mic, so that's what I'd do.

I'm planning, in the far future, to buy a cheap DAC to plug-in a headphone, a microphone and an electric guitar so I can use all of them on the computer at the same time that I can use the headphones as monitors for the microphone and the guitar. Is this possible?

You're looking for an Audio Interface, not a DAC (although audio interfaces have DACs in them). There's a lot of options out there, and you'll have to assess the options based on your budget and use case.

I do not own this pair of headphones, nor do I use 2-in-1 headphones. But since no one has responded, I'll just throw whatever I can think of at you and see what sticks.

Low Likelihood Solutions

I am listing these to try and give answers. None of these should work, but they're easy to try and don't cost anything

  • Are you connected via jack? Try connecting via USB instead. The jack has a TRRS connector and PCs usually only have TRS. This shouldn't cause any problems normally, but idk what JBL or your PC is doing
  • Are you using Stereo Mix on your control panel > sound settings? Switch over to the actual mic and disable the Stereo Mix. That could be what's causing your audio doubling

Medium Likelihood Solutions

These might work

  • Have you tried this without EQ APO installed? Try fully uninstalling it and ensuring sound devices are set correctly. EQ APO could for whatever reason be mixing your output and input. It's been a while since I've used EQ APO, but I only used it for audio output
  • Is the mic not disabling correctly and picking up audio from the headphones' speakers? Try lowering audio output to a minimum and seeing if that changes the volume of your echo. Ask another person to help test
  • EDIT If possible, can you try a different cable? The cable could just be faulty. Wherever you got it from might have a spare to try

This requires additional spending to confirm

  • Is the USB or are drivers the problem? Get a TRRS splitter (3.5mm, 1 female to 2 male), and split the mic audio from the headphone audio

I hope one of these work, because...

The Nuclear Option

Get new headphones or claim warranty on them (if you have it). My cursory googling showed that this problem has cropped up with a reddit user, and they ended up buying new headphones. If you do end up buying new headphones, I highly recommend buying a solid pair of wired headphones and a mic separately. It'll be more cables, but much easier to swap out if things go wrong, and a good pair of headphones will last you a good 5+ years.

Best of luck, and let me know how it goes!

It's great. And a lot of work goes into tweaking that range of frequencies that goes unnoticed, unless the mix engineer screws up.

Imo the best thing you get from better headphones is clarity. Hearing intricately crafted neuro timbres just inspires me.

Jedi Academy was that year too! Though Need for Speed : Underground was probably the one I connected the most with

This is an amazing list. I will +1 Dexed cos FM is great, and add a few more music production apps to the list.

BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover - A great all-in-one orchestral vst with decent samples. Great for people wanting to bridge the gap between writing with sections and writing for specific instruments. Lacks articulations like Legato and Marcato, but is ridiculously good for the price of jack shit

SPAN - An excellent mixing and mastering vst that gives you a highly configurable fft spectrum analyzer, with a few presets for translation checks. My favorite feature is the correlation meter, which helps me visually check interference in stereo mixes

Kontakt free library - Has some solid samples for a selection of instruments, but I mostly use the Jazz Guitar and Bass Guitar from here for basic sketching

Equalizer APO - System wide EQ. Extremely configurable. I've since hopped over to SoundID Reference, but prior to that, I was using this. It's great for making all your headphones and speakers sound like any other pair of headphones, and there's a huge library of headphone presets that tell you how to get a neutral signature on just about any pair of them

Man I'm a huge fan of DnB, from making it to listening to it. Really happy to see 12tone cover it.

Can relate. Kuala Lumpur isn't anywhere near the magnitude of NYC, but the accessibility of food from all around the world has made me a much better cook.

It only shares the roguelite elements with vampire survivors, but I'll drop a recommend for The Dungeon Beneath here. Super simple but pretty addicting.

CK3 seemed like it was tailor made for me, but I ended up not liking it at all. The complexity from paradox, the rp aspects and the medieval setting are things I individually love, but I bounced off this HARD.
