    Sennheiser RS 185

    I've never found a clear answer to this. How is the audio quality of the RS 185 compared to the likes of the HD558? I inquire because I've been considering making the switch back to wireless audio. I understand some of the drawbacks in doing so (especially cost to performance ratio), but I've...

    Good 2.0 + sub system?

    No problem. I didn't know if they might ship to wherever you are located.

    Good 2.0 + sub system?

    EDIT: You can get them right now from Amazon's UK site for less than your budget: https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=kanto+yu2

    Good 2.0 + sub system?

    I bought Kanto YU2s for less than the Audioengine and are, essentially, the same thing, except the "bass port" or whatever the slit is called is on the rear of the device. They sound amazing and can be had for $150 USD on Amazon's Warehouse. Not sure if they're available in your region, but if...

    Two headphones, one PC help?

    (Edit: Crap, I think I posted in the wrong thread)   So, I'm sure this has been touched on before, but I haven't found anything that quite answers my question. Please bear with the following.   I use my HD558s for mostly gaming (some music and video watching now and then). I'm planning on...

    Reply to review by 'kriswalden' on item 'Kanto YU2MG Powered Desktop Speakers (Matte Grey)'

    So, you never got back around to comparing these to your two 2.1 systems. How do you like the YU2 over the Promedia 2.1? I got the YU2s in today, and while they sound amazing (I know they still need to burn in), I can't help but miss the bass of a good subwoofer (I used to own Altec Lansing...

    Need good speakers for PC Gaming/Music

    I'm based in Missouri. This list is rather extensive. I was hoping for something a little more specific than "Here's a list, look at them all." The closest place I have to a decent audio store is a Guitar Center. The representative wasn't very helpful at all. I got to listen to a set of M Audio...

    Need good speakers for PC Gaming/Music

    Hi all,   I'm sure this has been covered before. I have been looking for a low cost solution for good audio on my pc for gaming and music. I don't have FLAC files or the like, but I do want to get the best bang for buck. I used to own Altec Lansing ACS621 speakers. I am currently using...

    Audioengine A2 Review

    I completely understand. I plan on holding off for a bit longer anyway. Thanks to everyone for all their help!

    Audioengine A2 Review

    That's what I've been reading thus far. I really like the design and overall package. Price is decent, I guess. I've decided to keep my HD 558s for now and let time and wear break them in some more. Hopefully they'll become more comfortable as they age; I might as well get good use out of them...

    Audioengine A2 Review

    Sadly, I don't have room for stands or an external dac. My desk/room space is limited at the moment. Perhaps when I have a new place/desk, I would look into it, but sadly can't justify that right now. I prefer a minimal looking setup anyway. I am a photographer by trade, so aesthetic is...

    Audioengine A2 Review

    I fully get that headphones in a similar price class will outperform speakers. The problem is I've recently learned I can't wear circumaurals. They put pressure below my eat on the jaw joint. I've tried stretching, adjusting position, etc. This isn't the first time I've been through this either...

    Audioengine A2 Review

    What about getting the A2+ and adding a sub later if I decide it lacks bass? Like I said, I'm not a bass head, I just like a nice bass for certain things but not brain-melting-ly overpowering. My family is very musically oriented, so I like being able to hear individual instruments/vocalists and...
