Just don't freak when the Sette makes PTSD inducing noise. I love my Sette but the volume is disquieting both literally and metaphorically.

I’d be wanting to pay $450-500 max. Cheap accessories and the sette is very outdated now (so. So so loud and better alternatives at the price point even comparing new with a second hand sette)
