Hi everyone,   I need some help deciding on some speakers to get for my dorm.  I have a budget limit of $150 incl. shipping and after doing some research could get either one of these systems for around that price.  I would only be plugging these into my laptop (school-provided HP Elitebook)...

Hi everyone, still a noob here, but doing my best to research and learn.   I've looked through Audioengine, Mackie, Krk, M-audio, and everything and just need a pair of speakers (monitors?) that would do great for 80% music, 10% movies, and 10% gaming.    I just have a generic laptop...

Hi everyone,   I already have the ATH M50's from Audio Technica and love those cans to death.     That being said, I want a pair of portable earbuds--for the forumites who have both of these, which one do you prefer?  I'm leaning to the A-T's just because I've had nothing but excellence...
