I'm looking to get some floor standing speakers for my bedroom (around 200 sq ft) mainly just for watching Blurays,  my budget isn't really big, the model I've been looking at is the BIC America Venturi DV64 which are around $127 a speaker.  Are these any good or would a pair of Cerwin Vega...

Also, I'd like to add that the headphones I want to have a decent amount of bass since I mainly listen to metal.

Oh that looks like an interesting alternative.  Would those headphones be better than the CX200 (On sale on Newegg)?

I am looking for a decent pair of headphones for doing lawnwork, they need to have decent isolation and stay in my ears well.  I was looking at the PMX 680i, but I haven't heard them or tried them on.  Should I go with these or look at a different pair? Thanks in advance

Did you drive this car in the downriver area of Michigan?  I recall seeing a car extremely similar to this all the time.   Quote:  

I am in the need of information on how I can convert CDs or MP3s to cassette.  My car only has a cassette player and I'm to cheap/lazy to put in a CD player, so I want to convert some metal to cassette form.  I do remember that you could record a CD while it's playing, but our's broke, so I'm...

I am looking for a new pair of headphones, right now I'm coming from a pair of HD595s and I love the clarity of them but the lack of bass is making want to upgrade so I have narrowed it down to the Beyerdynamic DT770s/80 Pro, DT990, or Denon D2000 (I have also read great things about the HFI...

I prefer over the ear headphones, most IEM's do fit in my ears and when they do I find them uncomfortable.

Oh ok, thank you!  I don't see those on the Best Buy website, but after researching I think I'm just going to go with the HD595's since I don't have an amp and cannot afford one at the moment, and I read these don't require one.  Thank you for the help ;)

Does Best Buy sell amps?  And also, they don't carry the AKG-K701.   Edit: I have a philips receiver for surround sound, could that be used as an amp?

After some reading, it sounds like the HD650s are a complete waste of money unless you have a really expensive amp which I don't have nor can I afford, so I think it is between the HD595s and HD600s unless someone has a suggestion.

I won a contest and now have money to spend at Best Buy and since I got my HD 202's I've wanted to upgrade, and I see they now sell some Sennheiser, AKG, and Audio Technica headphones.  There really is no budget, I'm willing to pay $500 for the HD650's if they would be worth it.  I listen to...

Would a 5.1 Reciever work as an amp or would I be better off buying one?

I don't have the money for the Ultrasones or the Beyerdynamics right now and would have to wait a few weeks/months, but could buy the M50s right now.  Do you think it is worth the wait to get one of those?

How much better is the Hfi 770s vs the DT770s?  

Ok, for short listening time (2 hours or less) are they unbearable or should I get the Shures, or something different?   I want to use them like 50/50 for gaming and music, so I don't want to spend big money on a pair thats only good for one of them.  I have a home theater receiver, I'm not...

I don't own the Siberia's but I think that the Senns would definitely be better.  Also I have not heard the 700s but I read that they sound better than the 555s.  EDIT: From what I have read, (have heard the 555s many times) if you already own the Senns, keep them it's probably not worth the...

Also to Bastido, I read that those Shures are really uncomfortable, is that true?

Erm...not to sound rude but I think I will still stick with the headphones I've already suggested.  Thanks for the find though :D. 

I am looking for headphones for gaming and music.  I listen to trance, house, metal and rock.  The only ones I can afford now are the M50s and A700, I would have to save for the other headphones.  Which do you think would be the best for the money and for what I plan on using them for?  Also, I...

They won't be mainly for music, more for gaming than anything, and I know they are supposed to be good for that purpose. A good pair will come in handy for games like CS, but I will also use them occasionally for music. I really want Beyerdynamic DT770s but they are double my budget

I have about $90 to spend and it's between two, the Audio Technica ATH-AD700 or Technics RP-DH1200, which would be better for mainly trance and gaming? Also, is the ATH-A700 or AD700 better?

I might save up for the M50S actually....I hate coiled cables and it sounds like the Audio Technica's are much better...

How shallow are the cups? Actually I'm also not liking the fact that the Shure's have a 10 foot coiled cable...I would prefer a straight cable.
