    [Q] Help connecting my 5.1 speakers to laptop

    Hey guys, I've got the Klipsch Promedia 5.1 Ultras that use the typical front, rear, sub stereo connectors. My laptop doesn't have output like this, so I'm wondering what solutions are available. I know Sound Blaster makes the X-Fi Pro 5.1, but I'd like to explore all my options before I purchase.

    Review: Philips Fidelio L1 [Updated 5/14]

    Has anyone made a comparison of these to the old Philips HP1000, their previous high-end? I have a pair and love it's smooth, open sound.

    [REVIEW] Philips SHE9850

    Thanks. In my short time with the X10 I enjoyed the sound but I wasn't wowed which is what I was expecting for an IEM that once retailed for $350. I'll give it a good test drive once I get them back.   Quote:

    [REVIEW] Philips SHE9850

    ClieOs, do you have any impressions about the Klipsch X10 in comparison with these? They are both single balanced armatures - I've got a pair of X10s over the holiday sale but my girlfriend has taken them on a trip with her before I got to listen to them much. I remember the sound being...

    Klipsch x10 or UE Triple fi.10?

    I got a pair of the X10's for the train so that I wouldn't have to carry my over-the-ear portables anymore.   My initial impressions are that they are very comfortable. I don't have much experience with IEMs but many members have said these are the most comfortable IEMs around and I would be...

    Klipsch x10 or UE Triple fi.10?

    Thanks for the impressions. Looking forward to hearing more of your thoughts after you've had more time to play with them. I've been considering getting an IEM and these are among my choices but I don't know how well I'll adjust going from the big soundstage of my full size cans.    ...

    Ultimate Ears Triple-Fi $99 deal again! Amazon Gold Box!

    Missed the TripleFi 10s, the page wasn't showing an "add to cart button" and when it finally refreshed the sale was over. But I did pick up two of the Klipsch X10s. I've been looking for a reason to get some decent IEMs and the sale was a perfect excuse. I read some cursory reviews and they look...

    Ultrasone Pro 900 Impressions Thread

    I had both the 750 and 900 at one point and th 900s are definitely a better overall headphone. The 750s were more forward and aggressive and for some songs I actually enjoyed it slightly more (electronic music etc). Keep in mind that the 750 and 900 both still leak sound and may not suit your...

    Spotify Anyone?

    Does anyone know of a way to get Spotify to play through WASAPI on Windows 7? The sound quality is impressive, almost good enough to get me to drop my Grooveshark account, but WASAPI just makes such a huge difference.

    Closed cans with forward sound and sparkly highs?

    it's already been suggested here, but give the ultrasone's a try. they aren't for everyone but those that like them will swear by them. i have a pair of the pro 900s and i don't think they are harsh or bass heavy. in fact i feel that they are one of the most detailed cans around. here's a huge...

    iBasso D6 "Fer-de-Lance" USB DAC/Amp

    I'm interested in trying the AD797s as I've seen a lot of great comments about them, but I have no idea where to start. For example: AD797 BR and B? What's the difference? What buffers do I use? What's the 2-to-1 stack? I have HiFlight's topkit and followed instructions to place the buffers but...

    im new to the headphone scene and want some help finding the right pair of cans

    HFI-780 will play rock quite well. They are great for high energy music and have a good amount of bass. The ATH-M50 is also a good introductory phone that you could find for less, but the HFI-780 should out perform them in almost all aspects.

    Ultrasone HFI-780 should be well within your range and fit the electro/techno genre well.
