Digitec Podcast Episode 107: The great duel of the Transparency headphones
Livia tells us which headphones have the best transparency mode and why it's not entirely safe. We also talk about the latest "GTA 6" rumours, QD OLED and the Switch game "Live A Live".
Transparency mode, which ensures that you can see the outside world in true-wireless headphones, has long been a standard feature. Colleague Livia Gamper let the audio experts from Rocket Science loose on five models and now explains to us why some are particularly suitable for flying and all are dangerous in road traffic.
Then we talk about Rockstar. There's not only news about "GTA 6", but also about the much criticised work culture at the legendary developer studio.
After that we not only learn that "Grey's Anatomy" is still on TV, but that Luca is a secret fan. How does he find time to watch all that?
Live A Live" is also about time and eras. The remake of the Super Nintendo classic from 1994 surprisingly captivated me. But I don't really like JRPGs.
Before you write to us about the audio quality: We know Livia sounds like she's calling from a phone booth in Timbuktu. We invited her at too short notice and didn't have a chance to get her a decent microphone. Do you happen to know an online shop that sells them? That would be great.

Being the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
