Can you make this a series? like do this for other people outside of Marques desk? Famous youtubers or successful people in tech?
Marques was disguted at the Kuycon monitor's
Love the Evo 4! But I switched to Audient iD4, partly because you cannot switch from monitors to headphones on the Evo. You have to unplug the headphones to enable you monitors. Kinda annoying. But great interface overall!
I graduated from college a decade ago… I'm so old. Umm…. just wait bud.
Marquez is visible piss off when he hears the price of the monitors. Is like why the fuck did you waste company money on these monitors.
Saving money for the sake of saving on keyboard and mouse isn't very bright idea. That's like cheaping on chair or shoes
10:00 The train horn its just so perfect
11:41 not for nothing but krks are cheaper and still great quality for the price. Just obviously doesnt look the same
MKBHD NEO
what’s the point of using a 60hz $7.000 monitor?
What switches does Marques use? 🤔
I'm trying to get into mechanical keyboard. I really like the sound of those
We spend too much time at our computers. 🙂 Love it. I'm a geek from 400 baud dial up modem days where it painted line by line. I could make coffee while it was painting a paragraph. We made mistakes a lot slower, waited for paper contracts after faxing follow up with a hard copy (early 80's) IBM PC days. I had a Prime Mod II with two 40 MB winchester drives paid $500,000 for them and left them when we moved offices. 🙂 good stuff. I have a copy of Windows 1 somewhere.
Personally, I prefer Apple Magic Mouse over Logitech MX mouse which is slightly heavier. The Apple Magic Mouse has smoother scroll which is quieter (sound distractions) than the mechanical scroll wheels on the MX mouse. If you need physical keys to execute macros or shortcuts, consider Logitech MX console or other similar products.
4:00 Release the list of speakers that Rufus & Ellis would recommend!!
So give it to me
" a decade ago " DAMNNNNNNNNNNNN
He had a Herman Miller chair since college?? Didn’t know he was born rich 😅
Sooo, now I can become Temu MKBHD? Nice.
I’m probably not the first one to ask but I think that it could be amazing to have you guys make a “Perfect value for money Desk Setup” with the expertise of each person in the Studio.
The choice of monitor would be made by the editors and visual creatives, the audio equipment by the audio producers and so on…
Would love to see a variation of this video but focusing on the quality, not looks. So good value essentially.
I agree with the Studio Display as an alternative part
Hey, quick question. Today is my girlfriend's bday. I bought her a tv, computer, a powerful power bank, the latest smart watch, the latest samsung headphones, and phone over the years. All samsung besides the powerbank thats anker. I propose to her on saturday but wanted to get her another tech item today. What should I get her that is both practical, and unique? We love tech and you or any of your followers, I'm sure have some interesting ideas.
brand of actual desk?
i would've liked one of these videos but instead of trying to match the aesthetic of his desk for cheaper, to match the functionality of his desk for cheaper.
what is faudio under chapter 10 anf faccessories under chapter 9
I need that Mac mini pro studio case in my life
The maxed out mac studio is ironically both cheaper and better than the mac pro
nice you mentioned the Ikea Marcus.. I'm thinking of getting that one
And the only thing I have is the macbook air form 2015
MKHB uses Senny 650, what does he know about quality audio interface?
audient audio interface is really solid choice!!!
software is great too
I love my id14
You could have gotten the OBSBOT Tiny SE for the same or less money and its a gimbal camera with tracking
12:50 dude took a look at a 6k glossy 32inch display and said 400$, not even a plastic 27 inch 5k monitor costs 400$ lmao.
Last time I checked Mac Pro cases were still hundreds plural literally can’t find one for the price of the Mac mini
The Mac Pro case is interesting. I can imagine third party companies making housing like this for Mac minis and allow PCI cards to be plugged into the Mac mini
I could be worse Marques, you could be old and also not extremely successful… like me
Everything is great about the seup but if you want more bang for your buck, get the Adam D3V pair: smaller, flat bass response, surprisingly deep, no ear fatigue from long hours of editing (ribbon tweeters FTW) and they don't take up space on your desk. I get the ethos of making your setup lok like Marques', but actively ignoring advice to make the speakers "look" the same instead of sounding great is a little silly. You want similar functionality as Marques' desk. Looks mean very little.
rapoo mouse on amazon is the perfect MX Master copy. I have it and it's great
bro did not like the setup at all
Does anyone have the mac mini print files?
big fan of the teeny tiny mac pro
Why do people care about the exact clicking sound of their keyboard? I guess I just don’t get it
I Spotted the Even G2 Glasses! Should we expect a review soon? I received mine a month ago with the R1 ring. I have some mixed feeling about it and hope for more features to be released in the near futur, the hardware and minimalist screen is great though.
Lame! ‘Not sure if this is the Herman Miller Embody, from college or the one I got after I graduated’ wildly out of touch, who let this get past post editing
Even his bots are getting tired of this guy’
And this is coming from a guy who’s only 1/4 woke, and happens to currently own Herman Miller embody!
