Quote: Cheers, I will see if any of my local stores will demo them.   Quote: Will also look into them too.   Also what are the AKG K272 HD sound like?  And is the cable user-replaceable and do they fit very large sized heads without getting uncomfortable for long periods...

Quote: Does that semi-open type have much bass? and how far away can you hear the sound?  As I don't want my mum in the next room to hear them whilst they are sleeping as shes a very light sleeper. But if the sound doesn't leak out that much, it might be ok...    

I currently got the Sennheiser HD25 MK1 which I've had for about 5 years now.   However the highs can be too harsh on my ears, sometimes painfully harsh on compressed mp3s.    So looking for a better pair of closed back headphones with the same durability as the HD25 headphones, also I...

I just bought a KRK 10S sub today, but can't believe how extremely powerful it sounds. Makes my old 10 inch sub sound extremely weak. But I'm not sure if there's something wrong with it or that's how it's meant to be. But on the lowest gain setting which is basically off, the bass pumps hard...

Check on ebay and gumtree, etc for half decent used 2.1 active systems then. You could get M-Audio Studiophile AV20 (half decent active monitors) now new for £55 and then in the future an active sub for it. I found this while browsing ebay a few mins ago: Labtec LCS-2424 2.1 PC Speakers...

Would only use them if the appliance is double insulated, then it's safe to do so. Otherwise those donut shaped chokes or ferrite rings around the cables are an inexpensive way to stop RF noise and EMI noise, which seems to solve most ground loop problems. Finally a ground loop isolator...

Probably Logitech X-230. Nothing much alse at that price, unless you go 2nd hand. However they lack midrange quality and the bass is really 1 note boomy. Just highs and muddy bass they give. Passive, then Wharfedale PPS1 Picture Frame 2.1( NXT flat panels and sub) from superfi for £68.46...

Well active speakers like the KRK Rokit's are bi-amped and each have their own separate amp driving the highs and mid/lows in each cabinet. Audioengine is not individually mains powered per cabinet like the KRK Rokit's are for a start and I'm not sure if they are bi-amped either. Also most...

my current setup, excuse the rubbish 3.2mb phone cam, but will get a proper cam in the future when I get a job: 2x KRK Rokit RP5 G2 active speakers 1x Sennheiser HD25 , they are a bit faulty now, but had them over 4 years. The cable needs replacing as it cuts out sometimes, and...

anyone thought of using headphones whilst having tactile transducers(bass shakers) on their chair/couch? i got sennheiser HD25 headphones myself and thinking of adding some tactile transducers to my chair with isolation pods for late night listening. as i can't use my speakers and sub at...
