I am Dming for a party of 6 level 18 characters, in the last session they fought Tiamat the Dragon Queen. As the party members one by one started rolling their death saves, the wizard turns comes. I ask him what he was planning on doing, he stopped me and asked what was Tiamat's creature type? I made him roll religion and he got a whooping 27 on the roll, I then say "You recall having heard stories of a dragon goddess being sealed in the nine hells and overtime turned into a fiend". He then says "I cast wish replicating the effects of Planar Binding at 8th level" Tiamat had already used up her legendary resistances and had only 180HP. I rolled her charisma save, we all know the curse of the DM ROLL, I HAD A NATURAL 1. Even adding her Charisma saving throw modifier was useless. I then stopped the session in a cliffhanger not knowing what to do. It would be fair for the player to let him bind Tiamat because it's within the rules but that would make the campaign totally unbalanced. I was planning on having Bahamut present himself to the party, and ordering them to seal Tiamat back into the 9 hells what should I do???
Edit: But nobody actually knows that the wizard has control of Tiamat they didn't plan on moving her they planned on keeping her in Avernus and using her lair as a base she is still in hell in her lair and the party will pull the threads from the darkness that's their plan. They just told me
A couple weeks ago, I was looking for a pair of planar magnetic headphones. The catch was, I didn't just want planars, I wanted something special: namely, closed back planars. As it turned out, despite a great deal of searching, I could not find a consolidated list of all of the big players in the (non-vintage--looking at you Yamaha) scene. A list on drop came close, but still was missing a lot. So, after doing my own research on the current options, I figured I'd post my findings here.
The following is a list of all the Closed Back Planar Magnetic Headphones that I am currently aware of. If you see any not on the list, please don't hesitate to leave a comment or message me. This thread is meant to be informative, but don't hesitate to discuss the headphones listed here in the comments, or message me if you have any questions about the cans (I've become quite knowledgeable on the subject over the course of my aforementioned research) or the list.
Before we get to the list, please note a few things. First, as discussed in the footnotes, semi-open planars are also listed, as are (not listed in the footnotes) "pseudo-planars," such as the Drop Panda, which uses technically uses a planar technology somewhere between "dynamic" and "planar magnetic" but is basically just a planar. I a not including any special edition versions of these headphones that do not make notable changes to the headphones, such as the special edition Oppo PM-3s in red and blue. Finally, in a similar vein, ultra rare/vintage+discontinued cans, such as the old Yamaha planars (literally the first planars ever made) have not been included, for what are to me obvious reasons.

I'm new to the game here, so I recognize that the question I'm about to ask might be ridiculous, but here goes anyways...
Are there any portable amps that do a decent job powering planar magnetic headphones?
I've seen some reviews suggesting that the Creative SXFI Amp (currently selling for $60) can do this, but I'm curious to know what alternatives may exist and whether anyone on here has experience with them.
I'm considering making the jump to a pair of Dekoni Blues or entry-level HiFimans, but I wouldn't get as much use/value out of them if I'm not able to use them with Tidal on my android phone.
- My backup character is a Conjurer (Wizard) who accidentally conjured themselves into the campaign. I made this character so my DM can say, "You see ahead of you a portal shimmer open, a humanoid falls out and it quickly closes.", to get the game right back up and running. The goals of the character are to map out the world and find a way to get back home, probably through an end-game McGuffin.
- Skills are: Arcana, Insight, Investigation, & Perception (Far Traveler)
My PC is a druid contemplating [Planar Wild Shape]( Planar Wild Shape - Feats - Archives of Nethys: Pathfinder RPG Database (aonprd.com) ) at 11th. Could someone please help explain what SR my wild shaped PC get with [celestial template]( Monster Templates - Archives of Nethys: Pathfinder RPG Database (aonprd.com) ). The DR, Smite and Resist Energy is obvious out because it is linked to HD but what about SR given it is linked to CR? Cheers
This topic has been discussed a bit. I've been looking at some summoner builds a bit. I'd really like to use planar binding for longer term summons. Most have said that you can't use planar binding on your own summons for various reasons. I've been looking at Warlocks, Druids, Wizards and Bards. Druids get some of the best spells, but are missing a couple important ones. I love the idea of a Warlock summoner, but they can't upcast beyond 5th level, big downer.
Things that are necessary: Magic Circle, Planar Binding, Glyph of Warding, and whatever summon spells have at leas an hour duration. The biggest argument that I've seen is the 1 round difference of how long a summon lasts vs how long it takes to cast Planar Binding.
The idea works like this: Say we're using Conjure Woodland Beings. We want to summon a CR2 creature like a Sea Hag (though it's up to the DM). Step 1: Cast Conjure Woodland Beings with extended spell from Metamagic Adept, into a level 4 Glyph of Warding Set to go off when magic circle is cast over it. Step 2: Cast Magic Circle at level 4, giving it a 2 hour duration. This casts the summons from the glyph, which now has a duration of 2 hours as well. Step 3: Spend your hour casting Planar Binding at the highest level spell slot you have available.
Does anyone see why this wouldn't work by RAW? As far as builds, I'm still struggling. The only way to get everything that I want is to do a Mark of Warding Dwarf (to get Glyph of Warding and Magic Circle) then go Shephard Druid. Though I don't think most tables that I play at would be into using the Eberron stuff, and I'm not that into a Dwarf Druid. A lore Bard can get everything, but it takes a little while. 10th level would be the minimum to pull this off. Boy do I wish Warlocks could upcast past 5, because it's thematically the right class for this idea. I'm going to look a little closer at Wizard, though they're missing Conjure Woodland Beings and Conjure Fey, both of which I'm interested in. I'm not sure multiclassing would be a great idea, because I'd really slow down spell progression.
One more thing that I'm wondering. With the above technique would I even need Magic Circle? The Glyph would be covering the "concentration" so I'm not sure that we'd lose control over the summons.
Let me know what you think of all of this.
It reportedly uses "the Same Pure Gold Nano Diaphragm As Susvara" and it measures almost identical to Susvara.

It's a $999 hand-made headphone from Singapore. Available only at https://www.carousell.sg/p/nan-6-planar-magnetic-headphone-updated-headband-version-1093042937/
I've read speculations it's a modified HE6se driver. Does anyone know anything?
EDIT:
So it looks like the guy at carousell is just a 3rd party reseller. The headphone is made in China and cost 470USD. It seems it's technically similar to HE6 but tuned like Susvara. It's currently unavailable outside of China, at least not officially. More info at:

Let's say you have 1,4-dibenzoic acid. This should be able to chelate to a TiO2 surface. However, would it be guaranteed that only one functional group chelates?
Have a pair of lcd 2c, but i always find them too dark to listen to them consistently, which is sad, because otherwise they sound fantastic in the bass and subbass area, anyone know of brands or maybe other audeze's (only ever listened to those lcd2c's) Thanks!!
