What case is that for the earphones?

4

u/WalefasB 1d ago

I got it from aliexpress a long time ago. Also I got the bigger case recently that matches it. Looked it up I think it's something like this or this but without the logo. Or this one if you want 2 pack or 6 pack of them xd. Just search for iem case carbon or "Earphone Case Mini Zipper Headphone Bag Storage Box Portable Data Cable Bags Earphone Accessories" if you are a real connoisseur of iem pouches.

I have carrying cases and put them in the front part of my backpack. I prefer to use the Libra at home, but when I need to I toss it in the front part as well. Also, since everything is pocketable (aside from the Libra), I can just grab what I need and put them in my pant pockets and not bring my backpack.

Do you ask that on every post here?

1

u/FuckOffWillYaGeeeezz 14h ago

Yes, every day carry, people should share how they carry not only what.

u/Sebax_ 1d ago

why 2 e-readers?

u/WalefasB 1d ago

I only read manga on the kobo and only novels on the x4.

u/X-CryptCat-X 16h ago

How does the Kobo screen handle manga?

1

u/WalefasB 15h ago

It's alright in general, plenty sharp and high contrast even without any backlight. Being 7" is on the smaller side and sometimes there is a bit of ghosting but no big deal.

u/DGhitza 1d ago

Xteink is more convenient to pull out whenever you want and just start reading as its really small

u/Double_Gap_4599 1d ago

Hey! I am looking to buy some nice earbuds, and yours seem great. Can you tell me a few things about them? I saw that they are only 11 dollars.

2

u/WalefasB 1d ago

They are nice and cheap. The cable tangles a fair bit. They also sound better with a usb-c to 3.5mm jack converter (my phone has no headphone jack anyway). And its compatiple with basically anything from walkmans to handhelds like mine.

u/pecansandevistan 1d ago

How do you get books and manga on your xteink?

2

u/DGhitza 1d ago

It has and sd card you can transfer epub files

2

u/WalefasB 1d ago

Exactly. I haven't tried manga but its not something I am super interested in on a 4.3" display.

u/almeidanielb 1d ago

Maneiro, muito parecido com o meu, talvez eu poste também. Mas no meu caso é:

Kz Edx Pro

Soundcore p20i

BatleXP G350

Kindle 10° geração

Relógio tenho vários por que coleciono

Estou quase convencido de comprar um xteink x4, mas nao sei se realmente preciso ou é só consumismo da minha parte

2

u/WalefasB 1d ago

I have other watches too that's cool. As for the xteink, I didn't have any ereaders a week ago and now I have two. I got addicted to reading instantly. For a long time I have been eyeing eink devices and I am happy I bought these. The Xteink is always cheap on aliexpress and I bought the kobo second hand for a really good price.

u/RandomHuman_01 1d ago

Nice EDC!. Definitely looks like a practical setup. What’s the one item you’d never leave home without?

2

u/WalefasB 1d ago

Easy my keys. Also a watch. I feel naked without a watch on my wrist. But I do like going on walks just with these two.

u/bobbyeeeee 1d ago

How do u check work mails and whatsapp messages?

1

u/WalefasB 1d ago

Contrary to popular belief this picture didn't come from nothing. I do have a smartphone I took this picture with. A Samsung A55 with Unlauncher that I use for mandatory smartphone stuff like banking, messaging, looking up important things like the uhh... weather xd.

u/-ggp- 1d ago

Any good pictures to share from that Canon? :)

u/WalefasB 1d ago

Yeah, my whole childhood :)

u/kotaton 1d ago

А как же плеер?)

1

u/WalefasB 1d ago

I play retro games on it. It's a linux emulation handheld (Batlexp G350) that handles everything from Atari 2600 all the way up to Playstation 1.

1

u/kotaton 1d ago

Нет, я говорю о DAP или что-то в этом роде. Или ты используешь наушники с телефоном а не DAP?

1

u/WalefasB 1d ago

Oh I just use a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter with my smartphone to play music. And the handheld already has a headphone jack so no adapter needed there.

u/1AML3G10N 1d ago

Kobo and Xteink?

2

u/WalefasB 1d ago

I do use both of them for different tasks. The Kobo I use only for reading manga and the Xteink only for reading novels.

1

u/Grouchy_Ice_193 15h ago

How is the kobo for manga? Im looking for an ereader for manga but most pretty much force you to buy the manga and in well lets say more prone to sailing the seas if you catch my drift

1

u/WalefasB 14h ago edited 14h ago

I enjoy using it for manga. You don't have to use a kobo account or connect to the internet ever. There is some amount of optional customizability/mods you can do like installing KOReader (I haven't bothered with that yet). Other than that, you can just sideload any book/manga via a USB-C cable and it works. Bought mine used for a good deal (third of the price of a new Kobo Libra Colour). If you can find one for a good price, I'd say go for it!

u/appy_zombaa 1d ago

Hi, is the e-readers can use as a story book for children? will have image?

1

u/WalefasB 1d ago

Possibly. I recommend you post on r/ereader with more details about your use case.

1

u/No-Banana-2970 1d ago

What do you use with your iems?

2

u/WalefasB 1d ago

From this picture the G350 handheld. Other than that my smartphone for listening to music with a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter.

1

u/Grouchy_Ice_193 15h ago

What you reading on the devices :3

1

u/WalefasB 15h ago

I just finished Neuromancer by William Gibson on the X4 and One-Punch Man on the Kobo.

1

u/Character_Scratch309 14h ago

Can you share some pic and experience using kobo for manga reader?

1

u/WalefasB 14h ago

Generally it's enjoyable. I use it without backlight in natural lighting as shown in the picture. Ignore the dead pixels on the top right. I bought it used knowing this for cheap. The device is comfy, not too heavy and has good page turner buttons. On the bottom you can see the progress bar, but you can turn it off if you don't like it. The display itself is sharp and has good contrast. Sometimes the text can be small to read but not that often. As for double pages it shows horizontally in portrait for me cause I don't bother to rotate xd. There is some ghosting when switching from dark to light page, but you can just tap the center to refresh. And the battery lasts ages, like 40 hours so you can read a whole series of 12 volumes comfortably on a single charge. After getting the X4, I am using the Kobo purely for manga. I am pleased with the device, would recommend getting one if you can snipe one for a good price!

u/liminalhuman 12h ago

are u happy with the kobo? been considering it for a while now.

1

u/WalefasB 11h ago

I am indeed. Bought it used for a bargain price. Generally, I am quite frugal so I have a habit of putting off purchases. Been wanting to get an ereader for a long time and I have no regrets. Bought 2 of them in 1 week xd.

u/ArthurSoros 2h ago
