Froggie's Guide to Budget Headphones

@nimrella I am more well versed in traditional audio and home theater with big honking speakers, so I don't have much personal experience with headphones and headphone accessories. But I can tell you what I've learned from other people who are in the headphone world. And since you are starting more within the "budget" range I think I am somewhat qualified to guide you at this level.

You have three paths to choose from...

Wireless, low impedance wired (no amplification required), and high impedance wired (amplification required).

Basically... easy, medium, and hard.

But also... good, better, best.

Wireless Headphones

Wireless headphones have come a long way. Audiophiles used to scoff at them but now there are options that really do sound fantastic and the Bluetooth data rates are good enough to deliver high resolution audio. They also have noise cancellation options which may be desirable. If you do not have a quiet, dedicated space for listening to music you might find high end noise cancellation a godsend. People love them especially for planes, trains, and automobiles.

I don't know if everyone knows how noise cancellation works or not, but basically the headphones have microphones that listen to the world around you. They measure the incoming sound and then generate an opposite sound that just about kills ambient noise. If you play the same sound 180 degrees out of phase it basically nullifies those sound waves. The tech works best between 50 Hz and 1000 Hz. For reference we hear between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz (lower if you are old). So anything super high or super low pitched can still get through.

In any case, if that sounds appealing, wireless headphones should be a consideration.

The other advantage of wireless headphones would be the ease of use. They pair to your phone, your laptop, your TV. They have controls to help you pause and skip songs and change volume. Some allow you to take phone calls.

But the big downside is the sound quality takes a bit of a hit. As I said, the bluetooth standards have actually gotten very very good. (Though there are audiophiles who will swear it still sounds like a 1990s MP3.) So streaming the actual media files are not really an issue. But trying to cram all of that tech into lightweight headphones you can wear around town all day requires compromises and added expense. Not to mention the battery has a limited lifespan. You may have more limited or inconsistent frequency response, poor dynamic range, distortion problems, weak output, and a high noise floor. Wireless options still can't match wired headphone systems in the same price range. And the wireless options that come close are quite spendy.

Wireless Headphones Suggestions

In your price range the two wireless options that I hear mentioned over and over again are the Sony WH-1000 series and the Bose QuietComfort. They are both well regarded for having a good mix of sound quality and noise cancellation while also being a decent value. You might be able to visit a Best Buy and demo them to see if you prefer the sound and comfort of one over the other.

The Apple AirPods Max are said to work really well within the Apple ecosystem. They have some interesting spatial sound modes and very good audio quality. I've heard the noise cancellation is some of the best currently available. But they seem too expensive and a lot of people feel they are too heavy. I also suspect they are due for an update. That said, if you wait for the new ones to come out and buy used, they could come into your price range. I'd really only suggest these if you have multiple Apple products that you will be streaming sound from.

Before we move into wired headphones, let's go over some terms that you might see pop up when doing research and reading reviews.

Froggie's Glossary of Audiophile Terminology

Driver A speaker is made up of drivers. Some speakers have a woofer, a midrange, and a tweeter. Each individual thing is a driver. And with headphones you will often hear "headphone driver" instead of speaker because it is more specific. Headphones typically have an all-in-one driver that does all frequencies. A woofymidteet.

That's not a thing.

I made that up.

Frequency Response This is the range of frequencies produced by the drivers from low to high. You want to make sure your headphones have good, deep bass. That will make more of a difference than anything else. It's the foundation of all sound and what is sorely lacking in devices with small/cheap speakers.

Music typically doesn't go much below 40 Hz in the bass range. So if you are only interested in music listening, that is plenty deep. Movies can go down to 20 Hz, but this isn't necessary for a good immersive experience unless you have giant subwoofers. So if you find something that can play ~40 Hz with decent output, you should be all good. Every speaker has a frequency response curve. It looks something like this.

The X-axis represents the frequency and the Y-axis represents the volume in decibels. We are most concerned with the 40 to 10K Hz section, as most sound happens there.

I'm not going to go super in-depth and overwhelm everyone, but typically you want this graph to look fairly flat in that range. A flat-ish line will give you a "neutral" response.

The above graph gets a little bumpy in the high frequencies. That means those frequencies will have a higher volume than the lower frequencies. If a higher frequency has a big peak, that could make your sound seem too bright or tinny.

Or you could have the opposite problem. You could have a null in the bass where the output dips below everything else. This can make your sound a bit anemic and lacking punch.

Whereas a more flat speaker will output all frequencies at about the same volume and sound much more balanced and smooth.

Equalization or EQ A flat response is good because it will accept EQ well. Equalization is where you add peaks and dips in volume deliberately to taste.

This can be as simple as 3 knobs.

Or it can be a more complicated parametric EQ.

A lot of digital EQ methods have presets to help get you started. I promise it isn't as intimidating as it looks.

Some people like to buy speakers/headphones that are EQ'd how they prefer out of the box. (Or if you get Beats by Dre they just turn the bass all the way up and say "Fuck them other frequencies!") But this is often a bit of a crapshoot because it is hard to EQ a speaker that sounds good in every room or every environment or just to varying individual preferences.

By making the speaker more neutral, it can be much easier to equalize specifically to your needs and enjoyment.

So if you like the bass a little bassier and the mids a little quieter, you have the power to dial that in with great specificity on a neutral speaker. You can apply any EQ you wish and you won't be fighting the speaker's predetermined response.

Basically if you are reading reviews and the headphones are described as "flat" or "neutral" that's a good thing (in my opinion). Just remember nothing is going to be perfectly flat. We're shooting for flat-ish.

If you do decide to get a neutral sounding pair of headphones you may find them a little bland out of the box. Do not panic. You just need to learn a bit about how to apply EQ, but thankfully YouTube is plentiful with tutorials.

The Harman Curve was researched to be most liked by the most people, so you might start there. (Also, SoundSource is a very popular EQ app for Mac.)

Dynamic Range This is the spectrum of how quiet to loud something can get. If you have speakers that can render both a pin drop and a big explosion with great fidelity and proper intensity, you will be in audio heaven. There is so much emotion and drama that can be expressed by expansive dynamic range and most cheap speakers compress it to an inch of its life. When the soft and the loud sounds are the same you miss out on so much audio information intended by the composer.

Distortion This is just how loud a speaker can go without breaking up. Low distortion is good. While every driver distorts at some point, usually that is at a much higher volume than you will use. This typically only plagues cheap, tiny drivers.

Sound Pressure Level (SPL) This is a measurement of how loud a speaker can get. While you don't want to listen to anything louder than a sustained average decibel level of 80 to 85, you do want peaks over 100, especially in the bass. Bass is less damaging to ears and hearing damage is all about sustained volume rather than quick peaks here and there. Most headphones can comfortably do an SPL between 90 and 110 dB. The ability to go louder is good, but only because that expands headroom, not because you should actually listen to them that loud. So if the headphones can get super loud, that means they will have a much easier time delivering normal levels.

Noise Floor Every sound system has background noise. You know that static you hear when you turn a radio up really loud when there is no sound playing? That is your noise floor. You want that to be as quiet as possible because if you turn up the volume, you don't just turn up the volume of the sounds you want to hear, you also turn up the volume of that background noise.

If you can find a headphone system with a decent low noise floor and you can also find a very quiet space to listen in, you could have a religious experience. I don't think people realize how much the room you are in matters, even when listening to headphones. When you are in a quiet room, you can play at lower volumes. And that can mitigate a lot of the problems associated with cranking the volume. You won't damage your ears for one thing. But the speakers won't have to work as hard so you'll have less distortion and better clarity.

Noise mostly comes from the amplifier, which I will talk about later on.

Froggie Pro Tip: If you want cheap speakers to perform better, go to a quiet room and move them as close as possible. This allows you to play them at a lower output while maintaining your desired perceived volume.

Okay, now we can finally talk about...

Wired Headphones

You have open back and closed back styles.

Open back tends to have a more natural sound and feels more comfortable. Like listening to regular speakers. People generally feel they are able to listen to them longer because they don't create a seal and cause pressure on your ear drum. However, if sound can get out, it can also get in. So with open back headphones people nearby will be able to hear what you are listening to. And if you are not in a quiet room, all of that sound will leak in. Meaning you have to increase the volume and the noise floor and the distortion.

Closed back seals off your ears and gives you a quiet and immersive experience. You can be in a noisier room without having to crank the volume as much. Some prefer this style just because it helps them feel like they are going into their own personal dimension of sound. These are great for ASMR too. But ear fatigue can become an issue and you may need to take little breaks to let your ears breathe and your ear drums rest.

And the last thing we need to discuss is impedance.

The impedance of headphones mostly determines how hard they are to amplify. Impedance is measured in ohms which is this little horseshoe symbol... Ω.

Lower ohms means less electrical resistance and easier to amplify.

Higher ohms means more electrical resistance and difficult to amplify.

If you get headphones rated below 100 ohms, they can typically be driven by smartphones and laptops just by plugging into a standard headphone jack. Though depending on the device, 100 may sound a little quiet so you may want to go lower. 30 ohms is fairly typical if you plan to drive your headphones with everyday electronics.

Above 100 ohms you are going to need some sort of amplification—usually a DAC with a headphone amplifier. (There are DACs without amplification so be sure to check that.)

A DAC, or digital-to-analog converter, is already built into your phone and laptop. But those are very small, don't have a lot of power, and might have a higher noise floor due to interference from other components and heat and just a lot of electrical signals nearby.

By getting an external DAC w/amplifier you separate out the components, make them larger and more powerful, and typically improve the sound quality. Because it is more isolated, the amplification can be much quieter despite being more powerful.

If you plan to stay in a static location and you have high impedance headphones, you can get a little box DAC that sits on your desk. It works like an external sound card for your computer. If you record music or stream, a digital audio interface works great as well (remember to check the Ω).

But if you need to be more mobile with your headphones you can get a little USB dongle DAC, though you will probably not get the same sound quality and power.

Both will be superior to the internal DAC built into your computing devices.

So, low impedance headphones are easier if you need to move around.

High impedance headphones are better for staying put in a single location unless you get a dongle DAC.

Just remember, high and low impedance doesn't necessarily indicate quality. It's just that in order to drive high impedance headphones you need the larger amplifier with the nicer components and, by necessity, you automatically get that quality bump.

You can get very good low impedance headphones. However, if you power them *only* with a smartphone, you may not use them to their full potential. Which is why getting an external DAC is a good idea regardless.

But the nice thing about low impedance is you can get the headphones and still use them until you save up for the DAC. Or you can use them as normal while out and about and have a special listening spot at home with the DAC.

To review...

Low impedance and high impedance can both be high quality.

Low impedance (less than 100 ohms) works with anything.

High impedance (more than 100 ohms) requires amplification.

Both will be used to their full potential with a DAC/headphone amplifier of some kind.

Wired Headphones Suggestions

Again, I have not personally listened to any of these. I am just relaying what experts I trust have mentioned as being nice quality in your price range.

The beyerdynamic DT 770 headphones are some of the most well-regarded budget headphones I've heard of. They come in low and high impedance versions.

The Sennheiser HD 560 high impedance headphones are also praised for their value and performance.

If you can go a little pricier...

The HIFIMAN Sundara headphones have low impedance and can be driven easily by all your devices.

And the HIFIMAN Edition XS are even lower impedance and about the same price.

And if you want to try a DAC, I've heard good things about both Fosi and Schiit (yes, like the poopies), though there are many different brands. Just make sure the DAC has a headphone amplifier rated for the ohms you need.

The FOSI K5 Pro is a cheap "beginner" DAC that will power anything up to 300 ohms. This is the kind that sits on your desk.

And if you want a more portable dongle DAC, you can get something like the iFi Go Link.

I've also heard good things about the AudioQuest Dragonfly, though I hate recommending AudioQuest products due to them claiming they can do magical things. They use scientific gobbledygook to scam customers most of the time. That said, the DragonFly might be their only valid product.

Note from Future Froggie: AudioQuest just can't help themselves. While the Dragonfly itself is a good product and not a scam, they developed the "DragonTail", which is a scam.

It's just a USB A to C Adapter for the Dragonfly. But they have to find a way to justify 30 fucking dollars so they came up with this bullshit.

Definitely need to stabilize my geometry. If I have unstable geometry that could lead to quixotic trigonometry. And we all know that could introduce vertices into dodecahedrons. Which leads straight to accelerated cosmotic entropy catalyzing the heat death of the universe.

Fucking AudioQuest.

ANYWAY...

An inexpensive DAC may be all you ever need but DACs can get crazy expensive—just like headphones. And if you are really fancy you can get a DAC and a headphone amplifier as separate items. Audiophiles claim when you simplify components to a singular function you increase quality. While I think there is some small truth to that, I suspect they just think the tubes look neat.

Froggie's Disclaimer: I am not telling you to get these specific things, but I do think you'll probably be happy with anything I've suggested. But sound is a subjective experience and it is always best to test things out before you buy them, if possible. Or make sure there is a return policy. You might see if there is a brick-and-mortar store nearby that allows you to demo headphones. Remember that comfort can be just as crucial as sound quality for long listening sessions.

Final Thoughts

Good sound has been life changing for me. And I am excited when anyone goes down this journey. While the stuff mentioned is considered "budget" by audiophiles, this can give you a good starting point if you want to upgrade down the road. You'll get to know your preferences and get a better understanding of how this all works and choose your own adventure from there.

Though it is very possible you'll be quite content with "budget" and the sound quality is more than enough.

Personally, while I am very happy with my current home theater setup, I am hopeful one day I can upgrade one budget tier above where I currently am and that will be my endgame. I've heard $10,000 speakers and it is mostly a land of diminishing returns once you reach that level.

I'm fine in "budget" land.

Further Research

I didn't mention the different types of headphone drivers because I didn't want to put too much data in everyone's head. But if you want to do additional research you can learn about the 4 main types... dynamic, planar magnetic, electrostatic, and balanced armature.

Contract Spouse Chapter 6

Chapter 6: Crashing

A/N: So Chapter 8 was split into two chapters. The series will be 10 chapters long so I am getting close to being done writing! 

Pairing: Jake Seresin/Reader (nicknamed Pip)

Warning:  Angst,  

Length: 2400 ish

Summary: Pip makes a decision about her relationship with Jake, and Jake’s feelings regarding spinach are revealed. 

Previous     Masterlist     Next

You had pizza for dinner, and you hadn’t made cookies. Jake had tried to convince you to watch a movie together but you couldn’t do nothing. The anxiety embedded in you from your childhood would not let go. 

Logically you knew Jake was nothing like your parents. He had said multiple times he was not mad at you, nothing about his actions indicated he was upset with you in any way, but you could not let it go. You hadn’t felt like this in years. The urge to smooth things over and make it better consumed you and you couldn’t shake it.

When Jake had been unable to convince you to stop he had joined you, turning the Bluetooth speaker on to Texas country. He helped wash the few dishes from dinner, humming along to the song playing. He vacuumed the area rugs while you swept. Whatever you did he was there assisting.

He finally catches your wrist as you start to reorganize the drawers in the bathroom. “Pip it's after midnight.” You stare at the hand on your wrist. His grip is gentle, thumb gently caressing the inside of your wrist. “The house is clean and it's time for bed.” 

You finally look at him and his eyes are soft, worry lingering in them. He backs up and gently tugs on your hand and you follow him. Your heart clenches at the hopeful smile and the relief on his face. He had been shooting you worried looks all night and you can see the tension leave him. You change in the bathroom, your room still under repairs from the water damage.

When you reach the bedroom Jake is still hovering by the side of the bed. “Do you want me to sleep on the couch?” 

“No Jake, it's ok.” You crawl under the covers and pat the spot beside you, feeling ashamed by your behavior all night. “I’m sorry for tonight. You shouldn’t have cleaned too. It's a ‘me problem’.”

Jake hits the light and plunges the room into darkness. You feel the bed dip as he lies down beside you. “Well you weren't stopping and I figured it would be more efficient if I helped you clean.” Your lips twitch at his words as the bed shifts. You can tell he is facing you on his side and you turn to mirror him. “You kinda freaked me out today.”

“I'm sorry,” you whisper, feeling even worse.

“I don’t want you to be sorry,” Jake's hands slide across the space between you. His fingers brush against yours and slowly tangle together like he is waiting for you to pull away. He brings your fingers to his lips and gently kisses your knuckles as traitorous butterflies erupt in your stomach. “I want you to tell me what happened. You were so upset then you were so blank and it scared me.”

“I don’t know.” You lie, unsure of what else you can say. “The interview kinda got to me.”  You couldn't explain the way your brain panicked after you pushed him and there is no way you would explain why you were mad. You wouldn’t tell him that when he called you Darlin’, your heart broke. That you were sad he didn’t love you like you loved him. It made you feel pathetic. 

It felt like the story of your life, loving and wanting to be loved by people who didn’t love you back. At least Jake was better than your parents, even though in the end he would probably hurt you worse.

“Just promise me you won’t leave me.” Jake's voice is strained in a way you have never heard before. “I don’t think I can do this without you.”

“Do what without me?” Your voice drops further, afraid that if you spoke too loudly it would break the fragile thread between you.

“Life, existing, I don’t know.” He pauses like he is searching for words. “Pip, I love you.” You fight to keep your breathing steady at his words, wishing there was some kind of light so you could see his face. He has said it before, but tonight, in the dark, he sounds different. Your heart beat increases as hope fills you. “You know me, and even after the divorce I need to know you will be in my corner. I need to know I’ll still be able to call you.  You’ll always be my best friend.”

At his final words the spark that had filled your chest dies. “Yeah Jake,” you agree, keeping your voice steady. “I’ll always be there for you.” At your words he pulls you into his arms and you go. 

Legs tangled together and his arms around you, you lie there trying to drift off, knowing Jake won’t sleep until you do. That his brain won’t let him rest if there is someone else awake in the room. Another way you know Jake like no one else does. Unwilling to move away and unable to deny yourself the intimacy you crave, you stay. After all, this is all you are ever going to get.

– – – 

You awake the next morning feeling overwhelmingly warm. Jake’s chest is pressed against your spine, his nose tucked against you and his breaths flutter the hairs at the nape of your neck. 

It’s too hot and you want to move but you don’t. Judging by the light filtering in through the curtains Jake’s alarm will go off soon and he will leave you then. It’s a Saturday so you have the day off but Jake has a training flight. 

When the alarm finally rings you wait for the inevitable loss of warmth but Jake just reaches over and turns it off before wrapping himself back around you and nuzzling into your neck, raising goosebumps. 

“How did you sleep?” you break the spell of the peaceful morning with your words. Jake hums and rolls onto his back, you shift with him so you are propped against his side but he doesn’t leave like before. 

“Good,” he tells you, “really good actually.” You smile at his admission and toss the covers off so your body can feel cool air and Jake copies you. He asks you about your plans for the day and you lie together talking about everything and nothing like you used to on the phone. 

It’s you who leaves the bed first to start the coffee and part of you feels more relaxed after your lazy morning. It had been nice to lie next to Jake and talk about your day but it made you realize what you truly wanted. You had been so caught up in your unrequited feelings for Jake that you had never taken a moment to think of what you were looking for in a relationship. And despite everything you feel for Jake you realize that while he might love you, he wasn't in love with you, and it was no longer enough. You decide it’s finally time to start letting go of your love. 

– – – 

When you look at your ringing phone and see Javy’s contact information you frown. You had spoken to the man a few times over the years but he had never contacted you for a  social call.

“Javy? What's up?” Your stomach clenches when you answer the phone.

“Hey Pip,” Javy’s voice is strained. “There's been an accident, Jake crash landed in the desert.”

“Is he ok?” you hate how small your voice sounds. 

“They’re taking him to the hospital. I’ll meet you there. Wives are allowed.” He says the last part pointedly and you know that he is hinting that as Jake's wife, you are expected to be there.

“Yeah, of course.” You would have gone to the hospital even if you weren't married to Jake. “Text me the hospital and I will meet you there.”

Traffic seems to slow the closer you get to the hospital. You can’t stop nervously tapping the steering wheel of the used Rav4 you had bought the week after moving. Your mind catastrophizes everything that might happen. Jake is paralyzed, there’s internal bleeding, traumatic brain injury. Jake dies. 

When you are able to park you sprint to the front desk. “Lieutenant Jake Seresin, he's a pilot, where is he?”

The nurse gives you a compassionate, yet reserved look. “May I ask your relationship to the patient?”

“I’m his wife.” The words fall from your lips easily. They are words you have barely spoken in all your years of marriage and have become increasingly common the last few months. 

She directs you to a different floor and when you arrive you see Javy, still in his flight suit, broad shoulders tense, pacing the waiting room. When he sees you he wraps you into a hug. “He’s in surgery,” he says, releasing you. At your look of horror he amends. “It’s for his wrist, he fractured it, probably has a concussion, but he's going to be ok.”

You sag in relief and collapse into a chair letting out a shuddering breath. You stare at your hands and notice for the first time that they are shaking. You squeeze them together until your knuckles turn white, trying to hide the trembling from Javy when he sits down beside you. You take deep breaths and slowly the shaking stops. 

“He’d be happy you are here,” Javy says and you smile. 

“I wouldn’t be anywhere else,” you say with a tight smile. “What happened? How did he crash?”

“There was some sort of electrical malfunction, he couldn't make it back to the tarmac so he landed in the desert.” You wince thinking about it and Javy continues. “He broke his landing gear off the plane so he must have hit pretty hard.” You nod and sit in silence, waiting. 

“He’s gotten worse.” Javy says in a low murmur, breaking the silence. You are sitting in the corner of the nearly empty waiting room but he still glances around. “After the last mission, I don’t know, he’s different, on edge, even before the investigations. I don’t think he’s sleeping.”

“He’s not.” you say before amending, “At least not well.” 

Javy sighs and you give his hand a squeeze and stare at the door to the operating rooms together. The two people who looked out for Jake while he looked out for everyone else. “He’s gotten better too.” 

You look at Javy frowning, “how?”

“After the last mission, I dunno, it humbled him.“ Javy shrugs. “Made him more of a team player, less closed off. Less of an ass.” You smile. In the few times you had met Javy he had always made jokes about how you were too nice for Jake, but you never saw it. He was never an asshole around you. “You’re good for him.”

The grin on your face turns bitter. “Spinach is good for you too, so is exercise.” 

“What’s your point?” Javy is frowning at you and though you feel guilty for bringing it up with Jake in surgery, you are so emotionally drained over the last two days that your walls are down. 

You have hid your feelings for Jake away for so long it is second nature. There has never been anyone you can tell. And there is still something stopping you from outright bearing your soul to Javy. 

“I’m not going to be someone's spinach forever,” you say following the analogy. “I want to be the gooey chocolate chip cookie that you want because it makes you happy and the bad days better, not the spinach that you keep eating because it is good for you.”

Javy is silent beside you and you begin to spin the ring around your finger again. You have no idea if Javy caught on to what you were trying not to say and a part of you is past caring. Eventually Javy breaks the silence, “Jake likes spinach, and exercise.”

You sigh sadly, “I know he does.”

– – – 

When Jake is out of surgery you and Javy both get to see him. He is groggy and doesn’t do much more than mumble hello before the doctors advise him to sleep. Javy sits with you a while before a nurse insists that only one of you can stay. Javy leaves you with a hug and you curl up into the chair next to Jake’s bed.

Part of you regrets your promise from last night, that you would never leave him. You wouldn’t for good, but after the divorce you would need to go away for a while. You are staring out the window when you hear Jake's scratchy voice. “I thought I dreamed you were here with Javy.”

You pour some water into a cup and hold the straw for him. His one arm is in a cast and the other has an IV. You hit the call button the nurse had told you to press when he woke up. 

“I’m glad you stayed.” His voice is less scratchy and still heavy with sleep, but there is a little smile tugging on his lips. 

“I’m your wife, of course I'm here.” You smile at his groggy expression and gently squeeze his hand 

“No, I want you here for me.” His smile drops, “it's not fair, but I do.” The nurse and doctor come in and you step back to let them work, mulling over Jake's words.

They keep Jake in the hospital a few days and you call out of work so you can sit with him. Mostly he sleeps but when he is awake you talk about the little things, Javy’s upcoming wedding, the house repairs, but never anything to do with your relationship. You are sitting next to Jake when Cyclone arrives. Jake goes to shift his posture and the man waves him off. 

“Are you his wife?” You frown at the brusque question but nod. “Do you intend to stay married to him?” You nod again and Jake squeezes your hand. You glance at Jake, unnerved.

“Well in that case, Lieutenant Seresin I am ordering you to attend marriage counseling every two weeks for six months, with your wife.” He drops a list of counselors on the foot of the bed. “After that, and you are cleared medically, you can fly again. If you are quick about it, most of your time in counseling will coincide with your recovery.” 

Your jaw drops and Jake nods. “You’re getting off light on this Seresin. Mess around again with another vindictive woman and it won’t go well for you.” 

“Yes, Sir,” Jake salutes from his bed and Cyclone leaves just as abruptly as he entered. 

“I think he just strengthened our case.” Jake says.

Chapter One

Emilia’s POV

I cranked up the volume on my Bluetooth speaker, letting the upbeat pop song pulse through the house. Cleaning was always more fun when music was involved, and today, I had really committed to the bit.

My fluffy pajama pants—decorated with ridiculous cartoon avocados—paired beautifully with my oversized sweatshirt that read "I’m not lazy, I’m on energy-saving mode." To complete my look, I had my hair up in a messy bun, a pink fluffy headband keeping the strands out of my face. And to top it of, a bright green face mask smothered across my skin.

Stunning.

Absolutely stunning.

"Noah, are you even helping?" I called out, twirling the broom like I was in some sort of high-stakes dance competition.

"I am helping," my younger brother responded flatly, walking out of the kitchen with a sponge in one hand.

Unlike me, he actually looked normal in his casual sweatpants and sweater. "You're the one turning this into a concert."

"Excuse me for bringing a little joy into our cleaning routine," I said, dramatically dipping the broom like a dance partner before spinning around.

"You're embarrassing," he deadpanned and tried to hide his small smile.

I gasped, placing a hand over my heart. "I am a delight."

Before Noah could roll his eyes again, the front door swung open.

I froze mid-move, one leg kicked up in a ridiculous pose, as my dear, sweet younger sister waltzed into the house like she owned the place.

"Guess who’s homeeee!" Sophie sang out.

I turned my head slowly, my brain needing an extra second to register the fact that she was not alone. In our entryway, standing like slightly bewildered deer caught in headlights, were eight men.

Eight very unfamiliar men.

My foot, which had been mid-air, slipped. The broom clattered onto the floor. I barely caught myself before I went sprawling.

But that was not the main issue here.

The main issue was that I was standing in my living room, dressed like a deranged muppet, with a green face mask and an avocado-themed pajama ensemble, in front of… well, I had no idea who they were.

Sophie, you little—

"Surprise!" Sophie beamed, completely ignoring my obvious horror.

"We had a hotel mishap, so I thought, ‘Hey! My wonderful older sister who adores me and always supports my choices would totally let my colleagues stay over!’"

The words left me in slow motion. "You—what?!"

Noah, who had been taking a sip of water, immediately choked.

"This is my twin brother Noah!" Sophie continued, gesturing dramatically like a game show host. "And this is my lovely, amazing, caring older sister—Emilia!"

I shot her a glare that could have burned a hole through steel.

"Sophie." She at least had the decency to look sheepish.

"I may have forgotten to mention this beforehand."

"Really?! " I said, voice dripping with sarcasm. "And who exactly are they?"

Sophie blinked. "You don't know?"

I folded my arms. "Should I?"

One of the guys—tall, broad shoulders, and looking entirely too amused—exchanged glances with his friends. "She really doesn’t know us."

"This is hilarious," another one chuckled.

Meanwhile, I became painfully aware of my ridiculous appearance. My avocado pajamas suddenly felt even more absurd. The green face mask drying uncomfortably on my skin must have made me look like a swamp creature. And to top it all off, my fluffy pink headband—meant to keep my hair out of my face—probably made me look like a deranged anime character.

I was mortified.

Sophie groaned. "You guys… this is Ateez! You know, the K-pop group I work for?"

I stared at her blankly. "Sophie. I don’t listen to K-pop."

Noah crossed his arms next to me. "Same."

Sophie looked genuinely offended. "You live under a rock. Also I work for them, show at least a little bit of interest."

"Maybe, but it’s a nice rock," I muttered. "And right now, I wish I could crawl under it."

A few of the guys exchanged amused glances. One of them snickered. "I like her."

"Would someone like to explain why a bunch of strangers are standing in my house while I look like this?" I asked, gesturing vaguely at myself. "Because I would have appreciated a warning before hosting an unexpected K-pop slumber party."

The tall one from earlier, hesitated before clearing his throat. "Our hotel had an issue, and we needed a place to stay. Sophie suggested here."

I groaned, rubbing my temples. "So you mean to tell me that my house is now a free Airbnb for eight complete strangers?"

"Not strangers!" Sophie insisted. "They're my colleagues. And super famous."

"That doesn't make this better!" I huffed, finally taking a deep breath to calm myself."Okay. Fine. Whatever. You can stay. But there are ground rules."

"Rules?" asked another tall one, intrigued.

"Yes Rules.

One: No waking me up before 9 AM.

Two: No weird food experiments in my kitchen.

Three: If you break something, you replace it.

Four: No converting Noah into a K-pop fan. He’s my last hope."

Noah gave me a firm nod of agreement.

A troublesome looking one grinned. "This is going to be fun."

I had a feeling I was going to regret this.

Mingi’s POV

When I first stepped into Emilia's house, I was hit with a sense of surprise that I didn’t expect. Sophie had told us her sister was a bit… different, but I didn’t know she meant this different. The green face mask on her skin, the giant avocado-patterned pajamas, and her very intense expression made me want to laugh, though I quickly realized this wasn’t exactly the right moment for that.

I glanced at my members, who were all in varying states of amusement. Some were snickering, while others—like Yunho and Seonghwa—were exchanging looks of confusion. And then there was Emilia, standing there with her hand on her hip, giving Sophie the kind of glare that could freeze you in your tracks.

It didn’t take long to realize that, despite the weirdness of the situation, her reactions were… kind of adorable.

As I settled into a seat on one of the couches, I tried not to focus too much on the fact that I was in someone’s house—someone who didn’t even know us. But then again, I supposed that’s what we got for showing up unannounced. No matter how famous we were, we had no right to impose like this.

The silence stretched on for a bit before I decided to break it.

"So," I started, my voice playful, "You really don’t know who we are?" I looked over at Emilia, who was still clearly processing everything.

Her eyes narrowed slightly. "Nope," she replied, deadpan. "Like I said I’m living under a very nice rock."

I chuckled, feeling a little lighter at her sass. Maybe this wouldn’t be so bad after all. And maybe—just maybe—there was something endearing about her not knowing who we were. It felt… normal. In a way, I appreciated that.

"You really don’t follow K-pop even though your sister works in the field?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Nope. Never have, and probably never will," she replied with a shrug.

I blinked, trying to imagine a life without K-pop. It seemed impossible, but here was Emilia, living a completely different life in Frankfurt. I had to admit, it was kind of refreshing. Not everyone was swept up in the craziness of our world.

"You must live under a very cozy rock," I joked.

Emilia rolled her eyes, but her lips quirked up just a little. "I do. It’s a nice place. Very peaceful."

Sophie giggled. "See, I told you she was hilarious."

The tension seemed to ease a little as everyone began to settle in. I was beginning to feel a little more at home, even if the situation was far from ideal. And yet, I couldn’t shake the feeling that the night was going to be full of awkward moments, like… like Emilia still wearing that absurd outfit.

She was pacing around the living room, rubbing her temples while Noah leaned against the wall, occasionally glancing at us with a look that screamed, why are you here?

After a few moments, I heard the telltale sound of an awkward sigh escape from Emilia. I couldn’t help it. I had to ask.

"So, uh…" I gestured awkwardly toward her avocado-themed pants. "Are you planning to wear that the entire time we’re here?"

Emilia froze. She didn’t even look at me. Instead, her ears turned slightly red, and I could practically see the embarrassment radiating off her.

"You didn’t think I noticed?" she mumbled. "You guys must be having a field day with this."

I shrugged. "I wasn’t going to say anything, but now that you mention it…"

Emilia turned to face me, her eyes a little wider than usual. "I… I wasn’t exactly planning on meeting eight strangers dressed like I just rolled out of a cartoon episode."

I felt a small smile tug at the corners of my lips. She was so honest, and her awkwardness was something I couldn’t help but find charming.

"No worries," I said with a reassuring nod. "I’m sure it’s not the worst thing we’ve seen."

She seemed to soften at my words, though she still looked utterly mortified. "Yeah, well… guess I’ll go change."

As Emilia made her way to the stairs, I found myself wondering just how strange it was going to be staying in her house. She seemed tough on the outside, but there was a vulnerability about her I wasn’t sure if I could quite figure out yet.

And then, my attention shifted to my members. They were already making themselves comfortable, joking around and poking fun at each other like always. Yunho was in the kitchen inspecting the fridge while Hongjoong, Seonghwa, and Wooyoung were sitting on the couch, laughing at something.

I sighed, leaning back into the couch. The night was only beginning, and somehow, I had the feeling this was going to be an adventure I wouldn’t forget.

Emilias POV

I quickly retreated to my room, closing the door behind me with a deep sigh. I couldn’t believe what just happened.

A K-pop group.

In my house.

While I looked like a walking Emberassment.

I threw myself onto my bed, staring up at the ceiling. How did Sophie manage to pull something like this off? I had no idea how to handle this situation. I was awkward enough with regular guests, but with strangers who were famous? This was a nightmare.

I sat up and peeled off the ridiculous face mask that was still clinging to my skin. As much as I was tempted to just go back to bed and pretend this never happened, I knew that wasn’t an option. I had to suck it up and deal with this.

After a quick wardrobe change into something a little less… meme worthy, I made my way back downstairs. As I descended the stairs, I heard snippets of laughter from the living room. I peeked around the corner, and there they were—my very unexpected guests, looking completely at home in my house.

And then, of course, there was this tall attractive one with the raspy voice.

He was leaning against the couch, laughing with one of them about something. His smile was so genuine, and I couldn't help but notice how… charming it was.

Damn it. This was not helping my nerves.

Taking a deep breath, I stepped into the living room, trying my best to act casual.

"Okay," I said, trying to sound confident. "I'm back. No more cartoon vibes. I’m presentable now."

The room fell silent for a second as everyone turned to look at me. Then, the attractive ones smile widened when he saw me.

“Much better,” he said with a wink, and I swear my heart skipped a beat.

I could feel my face heat up, and just as I opened my mouth to respond, Sophie burst in with a loud cheer, "It’s time to start the fun!"

Great.

Just Great.

“how do you lose a four year old?” you ask your husband, your voice a little loud.

you had just gotten home from a long nine hour day at the office, full of important meetings throughout the day with tons of paperwork. you had been on your way home from work when you got a call from sangyeon, his voice sounding worried. he started to exclaim how he lost your four year old daughter somewhere throughout the house after dinner.

“did you give her dessert?” you asked him, turning the corner and driving down the road to your home.

sangyeon’s worried and deep voice rang throughout the bluetooth speakers in your car. “i gave her one of those ben and jerry pints-“

“a whole pint?”

“yeah..?”

you sigh, pulling into the driveway and parking right behind his car. “a whole pint is too much sugar, that’s why i only give her half at most, especially at night. she gets too hyper.”

unbuckling your seatbelt, you hear another shout of your daughter's name from the other end. with a sigh, you quickly grab your work bag and rugs inside the house and hang up on sangyeon. as you’re unlocking the front door, you can continuously hear him yell out her name and him running frantically around downstairs. once inside, you take off your heels and toss your bag next to the coat rack. you run towards the sound of sangyeon calling out for her and see his physique.

his hair was disheveled and sticking up in multiple directions, his once white tee now stained with brown dots you had hoped were melted chocolate chips. his navy blue sweatpants were overtly wrinkled with one pants leg a bit higher than the other. when he heard your footsteps and turned around to face you, his eyes wide in hopes it was jiae, you couldn’t help but let out a small fit of laughter at his chaotic look.

“where was the last place you saw her?” you asked him, taking a step forward and fixing his hair on your tiptoes before peaking through the room next to him.

he looks through the room with you, then not seeing her and growing more frantic. “she got up and screamed ‘catch me if you can, i’m spider-man!’ as we were watching spongebob and since then i couldn’t find her. that was maybe an hour ago-“

bingo! you knew exactly where she was. you just rushed down the hall to the sun room and noticed it was already unlocked. a warm breeze hit you as you entered and walked towards jiae’s toy chest, then knocking on it four times. sangyeon followed closely behind you, watching every move you made. he had checked the sun room prior but not the toy chest, so he raised a curious brow as you knocked.

a high pitched giggle was heard from inside as you knocked, then it opened it up on the final knock and there sat your small four year old. her toothy smile and boisterous laughter filled the room as you lifted her from the toy chest and held her in your arms with a smile.

“hey silly girl!” you spoke with a grin, kissing her forehead as she calmed down in your arms. “i heard you were playing spider-man with daddy and had ice cream?”

jiae nodded happily, letting out a small yawn before she responded. “we did! but he’s not as good at it as you are, i started getting sleepy in there.” her lips formed a pout as she looked over at sangyeon, playfully narrowing her eyes at him.

“hey!” he said defensively, walking over to her and kissing the top of her head before ruffling up her hair. “how was i supposed to know we were playing spider-man?”

“it’s in the name, silly.” she lets out another yawn after finishing her sentence. sangyeon then takes her from your arms and starts walking out of the room and towards her room to tuck her in.

you follow behind them as they bicker back and forth, both of their voices sounding exhausted. you both say your goodnights to jiae and eventually close her bedroom door after she cuddled up to her stuffed bunny that normally helped her fall asleep faster. after her bedroom door is closed, you just look at sangyeon and let out a small fit of laughter as you walk to the kitchen.

“what’s so funny?” he asks, wrapping an arm around your waist and bringing you into his side as you both walked side-by-side.

you wrapped an arm around his waist too, looking up at him. “have you never played spider-man with her before?”

he shakes his head, his eyes looking down to meet yours as he lets out a chuckle. “i didn’t even know the game existed until today.”

you both enter the kitchen and let go of one another, sangyeon allowing you to walk to the fridge and grab the leftovers from dinner to eat up for yourself. as you’re walking towards the microwave, he grabs the plate from you and puts the food to heat up for you. you just allow him, leaning against the kitchen island and crossing your arms across your chest as you watch him.

“what’s the concept of the game anyway?” he asks, turning around to face you as the food heats up behind him.

you shrug, grinning. “you’ll find out sooner than later.”

he groans and drags himself over to you, wrapping his arms around you and nuzzling his head into your hair with a deep sigh. “she’s going to give me grey hairs before i know it.”

you lean your head back so you’re both looking at each other, a smile playing on your lips as his face looks visibly exhausted. “just learn to play spider-man and you’ll be fine, old man.”

jiae is heard from her bedroom upstairs, calling out for her daddy. just as sangyeon kisses your forehead and rushes out of the kitchen, he microwave beeps signaling the food is finished heating up. as you’re eating your food and scrolling through your phone aimlessly at the dining table, you suddenly hear singing from your daughters bedroom.

upon hearing the singing, you creep upstairs quietly and listen in around the corner and observe your husband singing jiae to sleep. some nights she would have a hard time sleeping and sangyeon would happily sing her a lullaby; it was something both of them thoroughly enjoyed and sangyeon has been doing since she was just a newborn. you watched in awe until he finished his little serenade, jiae finally fast asleep as her little snores synced with her breathing pattern. when sangyeon got up after kissing her forehead with a final goodnight, he noticed you peeking from the door frame and smiled over at you.

he quietly made his way towards you and closed the door quietly behind himself as he exited her bedroom for the night. wrapping his arms around your waist, he pulled you in and pecked your lips with a soft smile. “what’s that look for, baby?”

“let’s have another one.”

his eyes widened with surprise, you having not brought up this topic before. “another… child?” when you nod, he lifts you up gracefully and walks towards your shared bedroom as you laugh quietly into his chest.

Day 4: baked salmon

this is part 4, all parts

pairing: demon/angel!fem reader x 141

word count: 2.3k

tags: no use of y/n, 3rd person pov, proofread by me so sorry for any mistakes

warnings: none

summary: Angel accidently falls asleep under the sun and gets saved by a knight in shining armor, or an angel, it's the same thing in her head, both glowing and glorious. + imagine getting cockblocked by potatoes 🧍‍♀️

a/n: I know the chapters are called day 2, day 3, ect but it doesn't necessarily mean they happen one right after the other, it's just days of her interacting with the boys.

Two days in the office as a sex therapist wasn't too bad. Angel actually likes working with clients because she gets to see humans and how they react to their environment and relationships, with others and themselves. Of course, she had to do a bit of homework and study to be qualified, but it’s nothing a couple of days of intense learning and superhuman intelligence couldn’t fix. All she had was to tap into her powers and suddenly, she knew everything she had to know.

How convenient it was to be an angel, or a demon in her case.

Angel’s usual wish assignments are more often than not related to earthly desires such as money, fame and lust, maybe love too, but she always had to realise wishes that were considered a sin in many religions. Greed, gluttony, lust. She has worked with all of them. And whether those wishes were good or evil, it doesn’t matter to her, because fate takes care of that, her job is to realise the wish and nothing else.

By human standards, she would definitely be considered a demon, a succubus even, especially now.

“I should get a tattoo…” Angel mumbled, lounging on her messy bed, laptop on her stomach, looking at images of succubus womb tattoos. Kuromi meowed, removing the woman’s attention from her laptop’s screen.

“Hm?” Angel hummed, looking at her cat, standing by her bedroom door. Kuromi meowed again, making Angel gasp, “Yes! You’re so right!”

The woman immediately closed her laptop and ran to her phone, checking the weather. It looked like today was going to be hot and nice, even though it was cold as shit the day before.

That’s typical British weather for you.

“You’re so smart, Kuromi.” Angel said and sent a flying kiss to the cat, who lifted her tail and walked out, completely unbothered. Angel opened one of her drawers that had multiple bikinis and swimsuits. She started getting naked on the spot, excited to change and go downstairs to sunbathe in her garden. When she changed into one of her bikini sets, she dug for one of her hats and got a random green bucket hat for the sun, shades and a bottle of suncream.

If there’s one thing she’ll never forget while being in this realm, is that the sun is unforgiving and harsh, unless you want to look like a baked salmon or get skin cancer, you have to protect yourself.

Angel hummed while walking down her stairs, going straight for the fridge and getting herself a small water bottle and a Coke in case she got thirsty, and then a random magazine that was left on her counter, a Bluetooth speaker and a yoga mat.

She happily started getting settled in the middle of her garden, where there was no shade. Angel could hear some of her neighbours hanging out in their gardens too, low music, people chatting, children giggling and dogs barking and elderly people complaining about the noise. She sat on her yoga mat and started rubbing sun cream all over her skin, making sure to not miss a spot, and struggled to get her back but ended up giving up, “I’ll do it later when I turn around…” She grumbled.

After setting up her music and lowering the volume, she laid down on her back, sunglasses and bucket hat on. Angel took a deep breath, loving the heat of the sun and closed her eyes.

“I’ll do it later when I turn around…” She, in fact, did not turn around.

Angel ended up falling asleep with her mouth open, right under the sun, in the process of baking. However, earlier, the sky was not the only thing that witnessed her stupidity in real-time.

Her very sexy neighbours all decided to hang out outside, to enjoy the sun like normal people when they saw her asleep in the middle of her garden. John came out in shorts and sandals, wearing his very stylish bucket hat and sunglasses, a book in hand when he saw her. Of course, he saw her, they literally had the shittiest, lowest fence ever, and it practically gave no one much privacy. But it’s not like they're going to complain when they get to see her looking like that.

“Steaming Jesus…” Johnny said, lowering his sunglasses so he can get a better look.

“What sort of shitty cliché film are we in?” Gaz laughed in disbelief. Not only did they have a nice house (minus the shitty garden fence), but a very hot, very friendly, smart and funny neighbour.

“Are you complaining?” Soap asked the man.

“Me? Hell no, that’s one beautiful woman.” Gaz said with a nod.

“Stop staring, you creeps.” Ghost came up from behind them and grabbed both of their necks, lowering their heads. Both Soap and Gaz whined at their superior, turning around and sitting in their garden lounge chairs, doing their own thing.

John already had his nose buried in his book while Ghost closed his eyes and covered his face with a cap. Gaz was playing music through a Bluetooth speaker and was knitting at the same time, humming to the lyrics of whatever song was playing, and Soap was doodling in a sketchbook, bopping his head to Gaz’s music.

20 minutes passed peacefully until John closed his book and checked his watch. His change in demeanour was immediately noticed by his men, even Ghost lifted the cap and peeked at his captain with one eye. “It’s been 20 minutes and she hasn’t moved an inch, how long has she been sleeping there for?” He said with a frown.

“That woman is literally going to bake under the sun,” Gaz said, looking at Soap.

“She will if we dinnae wake ‘er up.” Soap agreed.

“Why do you even care?” Ghost asked, surprising Price.

“Because we’re not shite neighbours, Simon.” Soap said in that annoying voice he thinks drives Ghost up the wall, but Ghost secretly thinks it’s cute.

“Yeah, don’t be a dickhead, Simon,” Gaz said, batting his eyelashes at the soldier, hiding his annoying grin behind the scarf he was knitting.

“Enough, go wake her up, Gaz.” John said, and Gaz placed his unfinished scarf in his chair and walked up to the fence, and cleared his throat loudly.

Angel didn’t move an inch and he turned around, to look at the others.

“Call ‘er name!” Soap whispered.

“Why are you whispering?” Ghost side-eyed Soap, who absolutely ignored him.

“Angel, wake up, please?” Gaz tried again, squinting his eyes to try to see if her chest was moving up and down. Call him paranoid but she wasn’t moving, and he couldn’t for the life of him see if she was breathing or not from his position.

Gaz immediately jumped over the fence and rushed to her side and placed two fingers on her pulse, at the side of her neck. Soap, Ghost and Price were all up now, standing next to the fence, and all sighed in relief when Gaz turned around and gave them a thumbs-up.

Gaz scanned her lax face and decided to lift her head with one hand and used the other to gently tap one of her cheeks, “Angel, wake up.”

Angel woke up with a gasp as if she was holding her breath the whole time, maybe she was, who knows, her body can do freaky stuff when it forgets it's wearing the skin of a human. When she opened her eyes, Angel was so confused, was she in heaven?? Because what the shit, this is a real angel right there.

“What time is it?” She groggily said, her hand going up by itself to cup Gaz’s cheek.

“Half past one. You were knocked out and we got worried you’d bake under the sun.” Gaz said with a chuckle, and reality finally hit her. Angel abruptly sat up and Gaz grabbed both of her shoulders, “Hey, slow down.”

“Water, Gaz.” Price reminded the man and Gaz immediately grabbed the now warm water bottle next to her, unscrewed the cap and poured a bit in his palm and patted her hot cheeks.

“Oh, that feels good.” Angel moaned, not realising how hot she truly was.

“That was dangerous, you know that right? Sleeping under the sun with no shade.” Gaz said, wiping his wet hand on his naked chest.

“I didn’t mean to fall asleep…” Angel sheepishly said, glancing at the other three men looking at her.

“I’m sorry for worrying you, and thank you for waking me up, Gaz.” Angel said, placing a hand on his, which was on her yoga mat, next to her thigh. Gaz’s eyes widened, looking at her hand on his and looked back up again. She was smiling at him, and his heartbeat sped up. Gaz could feel his guys looking at him, at them, but he couldn’t look away from her eyes and lips. Especially her lips.

“You don’t, uh” he choked out then cleared his throat, “You don’t have to apologise…”

“Okay.” Angel whispered, those big beautiful eyes staring at him like he was the sun and the sky, and Gaz felt like he was going to fucking die.

“Who fancies a barbeque? I feel like grilling, today.” Price spoke, breaking the spell. Gaz retrieved his hand and stood up, stretching his arms behind his head, trying to hide his flustered state.

“Oh yeah!” Soap grinned.

“That sounds really nice, enjoy your barbeque, guys.” Angel said, collecting her phone and Bluetooth to get inside, she had enough sun for today. Maybe she’ll watch a show on her laptop, or read a book.

“Where are you going?” Price frowned, stopping her in her tracks, all of her stuff clutched in her arms.

“What?”

“You’re invited, Angel.” Price said.

“Am I?”

“Of course, lass! What type of neighbours would we be if we didnae invite our favourite neighbour?” Soap said with a huge grin.

“Soap, I’m the only neighbour you’ve spoken to since moving in.” Angel deadpanned and Soap shrugged with his arms crossed, the dog tags glinting over his hairy chest under the sun.

“I’ll go get the grill ready.” Ghost said, walking towards their shed.

“Hi, Ghost!” Angel quickly greeted him.

“Hi, Angel.” He replied, without looking back.

Gaz slowly walked up to the fence, “I’ll go prep the meat.” he mumbled and jumped over, glad to escape her hypnotising eyes and lips.

“Wait, I don’t know what to bring!” Angel’s smile fell when she realised she has never been invited to a barbeque before and has no idea what to bring, she has seen humans having barbeques but she doesn’t know what they would like her to bring.

“You don’t have to bring anything, honey.” Angel was now right in front of her fence, knees touching the scratchy wood and watching Price move the chairs around to make space for the grill.

“Uhm, Soap! Please come over and get stuff you guys don’t have.” Angel quickly said and grabbed for the man’s arm as if he’d run away. She really didn’t want to be rude and not bring anything to the barbeque, and she knows that Soap loves food and knows so much more about cooking than she does.

This is absolutely pathetic for someone with her powers, but she never claimed to be perfect, has she?

And how could Soap ever say no to that face?

“Of course, hun.” Soap grinned and jumped over the fence, taking the water bottle and unopened can of Coke away from her. “And these are going in the trash.” He said, walking inside her house and straight to the kitchen as if he always lived there.

“For how long are they supposed to boil?” Angel asked, frowning down at a pot with boiling water and whole potatoes.

“Leave the potatoes alone and come chop the chives.” Soap said, glancing up at the woman with amusement. Angel was still wearing her bikini and her cute green bucket hat, standing there in the kitchen with him.

Angel sighed and stood next to Johnny, grabbing the knife and starting to chop the chives. Soap watched the woman try to chop the chives and get frustrated that it was hard even though the chives were thin and small. Soap had to admit, she might be PhD smart and hot as fuck but she was actually useless with a knife.

Soap sighs, standing behind her and grabbing the knife away from her hand. “Watch, that’s how you do it.” He said and she nodded, watching him hold the chives with one hand and chop them with the other with ease. “See? Easy peasy, now try again.”

Angel grabbed the knife and tried again, and she was instantly better, a bit slow but better than her mediocre previous tries. “How long does potato salad take to make?” Angel looked over her shoulder and asked, looking at Soap, who was still standing behind her.

“Like half an hour? The only long parts are boiling the potatoes and chilling the salad.” Soap said, making her nod and turn back to chopping her chives.

“Do you have someone, lass?” Soap suddenly asked, making her look up from her chives and stare at the cupboard in front of her.

“Am I dating someone?” She repeated.

“Aye.”

Angel noticed the change in Soap’s usual friendly and teasing tone, and placed her knife down on the chopping board, and slowly turned around.

“No, why?” Angel raised a brow and Soap kept looking at her with an unreadable expression.

“Just got a lad wondering.” He shrugged, crossing his arms over his glorious naked and tan chest.

“Just a lad wondering…” Angel hummed, touching his dog tags with one hand, “Are you dating someone?”

“No, why?” Soap slowly grinned and took a step forward.

“Just got a lass wondering.” Angel grinned back, pulling him forward by his dog tags.

A loud hiss startled the two of them and Angel panicked, “The potatoes!”

[lanadelrafe]

I would loveeee to know more about rage cheating on mob wife!reader and her tracking the bitch down lol.

𝗋𝖺𝖿𝖾 𝖼𝗁𝖾𝖺𝗍𝗌 𝗈𝗇 mob wife!𝗋𝖾𝖺𝖽𝖾𝗋

— pairing: mob wife!reader x mob boss!rafe

— cw: description of murder.

— author’s note: anon is referencing this post!

mob wife!reader had her suspicions because rafe would come home late, smelling like cheap perfume. this was also around the time that she had the miscarriage, so he wasn’t having sex with her as often as he did before. when he did fuck her, he wore condoms—something he never did before. when she questioned him, his excuse was that he didn’t want to have another unplanned pregnancy until he was ready. she knew deep down inside that something else was going on.

her husband’s right hand man was actually the one who snitched on rafe and it was by pure accident. barry was supposed to be keeping her busy while rafe was out and about “handling business,” (when in reality, he was with his mistress). after spending an absurd amount of money in multiple boutiques on the mainland, she returned to her spot in the back seat of barry’s car. he was talking on the phone, the car’s bluetooth speaker blasting the conversation with his boss. when he noticed her presence, he immediately hung up, but it was too late—she had heard rafe’s voice telling him that he was going to a motel tonight with some woman named natalia.

barry stared at her through the rear view mirror. her fists clutched the shopping bags in her hands, her brows cinched together and a deep frown took over her face. her chest was rising as she took in quick breaths—she was seething. just as much as she was angry, she was full on offended that rafe had the audacity to cheat on her when she was the one who he had put a ring on.

after forcing barry to tell her what rinky-dink motel rafe was at, she took his car, leaving him stranded at some bar, and headed to her husband’s location. she could hear rafe’s grunts and a string of a female’s moans through the door. she took the bat found in the trunk of the car into both hands and used it to smash the door knob off. she pushed the door open and watched as rafe and the naked brunette scrambled off the bed, sheets covering their bodies. she locked her rage filled eyes with natalia’s panicked ones.

natalia was pressed against the wall, her trembling hands gripping onto the fabric shielding her. mw!reader didn’t say anything as she stalked over to her.

the first swing went to her knees, forcing her down to the ground. the sound of the impact and her wail echoed around them. the second one went to her face, sending a puddle of blood out of her nose and knocking her backwards to the carpet. she didn’t even have time to scream again before mw!reader stood over her and smashed the bat down into her face again, and again, and again. she didn’t utter a word the entire time.

rafe watched in horror, not knowing what to do. after the fifth or sixth swing, he finally made the move to step in. he stopped dead in his tracks when his wife pointed the end of the blood covered bat at him.

“back the fuck up rafe,” her tone was icy cold. “or i swear to god the next hit’s going straight to your balls.”

he listened, hands going up in defense as he backed away.

“did you really think i wasn’t going to find out?” she asked him as natalia choked her own blood. her eyes were wide and she was struggling to spit out her pleas.

he didn’t know what to say. he was completely blindsided. she scoffed and returned to beating the woman who he was screwing on the side.

“stupid. fucking. bitch.” she muttered through clenched teeth. “dumb, nasty, cheap whore!” she let out a scream of fury after the last blow to natalia’s face. she was completely unrecognizable. her face was caved in, nose broken, teeth shoved down her throat. she laid still on the ground, her pulse gone.

mw!reader stood up straight. she blew the loose strands of her hair out of her face and wiped her cheeks clean from the blood that had splattered upon them. she glanced briefly at rafe, scoffing. she rested the bat on her shoulder as she walked straight past him.

“clean it up.”

she ended up back at the same bar that barry was in. she still had the bat in her hands when she sat beside him on a stool. she dropped it down on the counter, not even glancing in his direction. the bartender eyed her before hesitantly sliding a bottle of beer towards her. she took a long sip.

barry finally spoke up after a few minutes of silence between them. “what the hell did you do?” he asked in disbelief.

“don’t worry about it.” she chugged the rest of the beer, slamming the bottle down when she was finished.

I am tired of small but worse design changes

Something like 8 years ago I was gifted a set of Bose Quiet Comfort headphones. They are wired, they don't connect to anything via bluetooth, and the noise cancelling part is powered by an external AAA battery. The cable is something like 5 feet long, and has the standard up/down/center button configuration attached to the microphone embedded into the wire. The port connection on the headphones is protected, tucked up into the body of the ear phone. When they're off my head and sitting on the table, the ear cups rest flat against each other. They came with a jack adapter for technology that hadn't been updated to make them back compatible and a case that fit all those components without room to be jostled around.

I really like these headphones. I like these headphones so much that I've repaired them multiple times (I go through the foam pads about once every two years, they're made of plastic leather and they start shredding around then).

I like these headphones so much that I decided to get a wireless pair, to replace the wireless earbuds I have that finally died after 6 years of heavy use (disappointing.... i have a pair of wired $15 skullcandy earbuds that i purchased when i was 13 (12ish years ago now) that I've accidentally washed like 4 times with no impact to the sound quality or microphone quality).

I decided to get the wireless version because the wired version from 8 years ago was so good that I couldn't imagine that the newer version would be worse.

It's a comparable product, but it's not the same. And because I like the old version so much, the new one is, indeed, worse.

The earcups don't sit flat against one another on the table. This 1) puts uneven wear on the pleather and supporting foam. It's going to start to degrade from the bottom, and sooner than the wired counterpart (sigh.....) and also 2) makes the system more prone to damage if they're packed away in a bag (nobody really uses the cases they come with). This is because the non-parallel angle that the ear cups sit at against each other adds stress to the overhead bridge and the hinges while also leaving more crevices inside the earcups exposed to anything in the bag with it (more likely to get caught on stuff)

It came with a wire (which i was surprised about)! The wire is maybe half the diameter of the old wire (more fragile!!!) and significantly shorter. Criminally so, at least a foot/30 cm (haven't broken out the tape measure). While the wired version is meant to be plugged into something on a table and has plenty of length for good cable management, the wireless version's cable only has enough length for the distance between headphones and approximately the front pocket on a pair of pants. Not ideal. Also there's no buttons on the embedded microphone, but that's because they're on the headphones themselves (no redundancies here, folks).

The port connection is not protected and the jack itself is long enough it could get caught and bent on a shoulder. This is only a problem because my next point.

There is no way to listen to anything via bluetooth WITHOUT any noise cancelling at all (called "passive" mode by the manufacturer). Too long using the noise cancelling gives me a migraine (some people call this "ear sucking"???), so it would be nice to use these without that. The closest they give you is having microphones on the outside of the headphones pick up sounds that are then played by the speakers, so you can "hear them". What a waste of power. If you want to use them in passive mode, you have to be plugged into the wire (which, as i mentioned, is shorter and prone to damage). Infuriating. This is fixable by a firmware update and is a known issue. So far, no dice.

Other changes that are not my favorite that I can live with:

Swapping durable fabric on the overhead bridge for pleather. This is going to fall apart. Unlike the foam cups, however, it appears that these pieces of pleather are connected by stitching. I'm sure I will have updates about this as time goes on, particularly because I do not anticipate this portion being self-repairable. Additionally, the material slides on my hair really well, meaning they don’t stay in place very well if I’m moving around (which was kinda the whole point in buying them….)

They're noticeably heavier (to accommodate the internal batteries?)

USB-C charging. This is fine, and the more companies move to a uniform charge port the better, but again the cable is very short. These are not intended to be worn while they are charging despite all the design choices that make it seem like they are. (Charging port is in mirror to the wire port).

Ear cups swivel at a greater angle than before (I don't know why?)

Things I would have liked to see changed:

Less intense noise cancelling (this is an option! but comes at the price of a lack of no noise cancelling at all option)

Better materials and construction on the foam pads on the ear cups. The pleather isn't durable, comes apart in shreds, and the fabric backing isn't strong enough to keep the foam contained on it's own once it does. The fact that the pleather is glued (or melted?) together instead of stitched is part of the problem.

Ride Smarter: The Ultimate Communication Upgrade for Your Helmet

Staying connected while riding has never been more essential, whether you’re a motorcyclist, a cyclist, or a first responder. A helmet with speakers offers a seamless way to stay in touch, listen to music, and receive important updates without compromising safety. With advancements in communication technology, integrating a hands-free communication system into your gear is now easier than ever. Whether you're navigating traffic, riding in a group, or working in a high-noise environment, a high-quality audio solution ensures clear communication and an enhanced riding experience.

One of the most effective tools for real-time communication is Zello PTT (Push-to-Talk). This app transforms your device into a walkie-talkie, allowing instant and clear communication without relying on traditional phone calls. When paired with a premium helmet audio system, it ensures effortless conversations, whether you're coordinating a ride with friends or staying in touch with your team. The combination of a helmet communication system with PTT functionality offers the best of both worlds—convenience and clarity.

Wireless helmet audio systems have evolved significantly, offering high-definition sound, noise cancellation, and seamless integration with smartphones and two-way radio apps. Riders can listen to navigation instructions, enjoy their favorite music, or communicate without taking their hands off the handlebars. This level of convenience is invaluable for motorcyclists who need to stay aware of their surroundings while maintaining communication with fellow riders or passengers.

For professional users, a helmet with speakers is a game-changer. First responders, construction workers, and industrial personnel benefit from hands-free communication systems that allow them to receive and relay messages without distractions. The ability to stay connected in high-noise environments enhances both safety and productivity, ensuring that crucial information is always delivered without interference.

When choosing a communication system for your helmet, consider key factors such as audio quality, durability, battery life, and compatibility with apps like Zello PTT. A high-quality system should deliver crisp sound, eliminate wind noise, and provide a comfortable fit within your helmet. Look for models that support Bluetooth connectivity and allow easy pairing with multiple devices, making transitions between calls, music, and PTT functions effortless.

The demand for advanced helmet communication systems continues to grow, with more riders recognizing the benefits of enhanced connectivity. Whether for leisure, work, or emergency response, having a reliable communication system integrated into your helmet improves both safety and convenience. Investing in a top-tier solution ensures you get the best audio experience while staying fully connected on the go.
