If you go for the A2's you may want to pick up the small stands Audioengine offers. I use them with my A2's and they work great, especially if you just plan on setting them flat on top of your desk at mouse/keyboard level. They are $29, here is a link: Audioengine - Upgrade your music .

Holy ****. That box is absolutely mangled (and the poor D2). Best of luck getting it resolved quickly.

I gave up; broke down and got a HT Omega Claro+ for my music listening needs. Honestly trying to get the 0404 and my X-Fi working together put a sour taste in my mouth pertaining to Creative's drivers/software.

I recently picked up an E-MU 0404 PCI for music listening through my Audioengine a5's and my various headphones + amp, but for the life of me I cannot get my X-Fi to play nice with the card (or possibly the other way around). Both cards work flawlessly when installed stand alone without the...

Is it just not there in the first place? I have two boxed sets of their stuff along with various other remastered albums and I am very unimpressed with their recording quality. I love their music so it is bearable but what are some of your guys opinions of their recording quality? Are there any...

Have fun with them . I love my 580's, my favorite cans without a doubt.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I will give them a shot as soon as finals are over.

Now I know why I picked up these AKG K501's! They have been sitting in their box for months now (tried them with the majority of my music collection which consists of mostly rock - bleh). I just randomly happened to hear part of Dvorak's 7th and had to hear more so I went out and picked up...

I have a pair of K501's sitting in the factory box underneath my bed. I used them for maybe 10 hours and really couldn't get into them (using a HeadRoom Micro). After reading some of these threads I may have to pull them back out and give them a second chance.
