I haven’t seen the need to have one headphone do both to be honest, but yeah looking for other brands that do that yield nothing.
I just want analog VU meters on everything please.View attachment 3565370
I'm looking for a simple RCA stereo audio mixer that has 4-6 inputs, a single output and allows analogue volume control with muting. Seems like it would be simple to find but I'm struggling. I currently have one of these:

And it does its job fine but the knobs are too small, the form factor is a bit crap, I want more inputs and it lacks an on/off or muting switch for each input. I have my second PC connected, a direct feed from my T2 radio, a record output from my amplifier and now my TV so I can hear game audio through my speakers while it also goes out through HDMI. I'm out of inputs and having to turn them down when I have the levels set nicely is annoying, especially with these fiddly knobs.
Any ideas? Ideally something I can mount under my desk. I'll consider rackmount stuff.
Edit: Literally this in stereo would do the job, ideally with more inputs though and not XLR. Maybe looking less homemade.View attachment 3565401

Would something like this work?I'm about 2 months into regular walking, and *need* some better earphones if I'm going to continue. Ha!
Requirements:
1) Wired.
2) Ether passive or active "ambient" sound pass-through. I need to hear my surroundings, as my walking path takes me across traffic and through a "downtown".
3) some sort of over-ear retention design. Whether it's a rubber hook, or the cable going over and behind the ear, it doesn't matter. Lots of earbuds don't stay in my ears. Just in the last 2 months, I've destroyed two wireless earbuds because they popped out and hit the concrete, and even destroyed a wired set of Samsung earbuds that came with my Note 9, because one popped out, and its own weight was enough that it pulled the other earbud out, and I ended up stepping on one of them trying to avoid stepping on the other.
I'm down to the purple ones that came with a 1st gen Roku, which sound like pushing audio through a Game Gear speaker in a Solo cup, u set a blanket.
Any thoughts?

I think about anything will have better sound quality than the Roku earphones, but I think overall sound quality might be limited within the options that tick all your boxes.I've found a few around that price range that seem like they could work, form factor-wise, and those seem like they could work well. The low low price makes me dubious of the sound quality, but maybe worth the risk. Currently going to school full-time with no income, so trying to keep to "buy once cry once" when I can, and I think $50 is my ceiling. For that set, though, none of the review I find give much praise to sound quality beyond "great sound for music and phone calls"

Oh no doubt, small German companies with a long and illustrious history aren't known for "cheap". I'm sure you'll get a good product, no clue if it matches your idea of value for money.
I'm not unhappy at all but they're expensive speakers, if it'll get me a discount go for it. Or if you just need to vent in some way.
Anyone have any opinions on ELAC Debut B6.2 speakers or ELAC in general?
