just got back from the doctor. he checked my ears, did a hearing test & told me i still got near to perfect hearing, and i have nothing to worry about. i told him all the symptoms i experienced and he said its fine, and i was probably too enthousiastic & listened too long/loud. he also said...

ok so i did the test you suggested. did it with this one = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6fuc2HHhnA did it with an 'online generator' too.   it went up an down a bit until +-4000, but after that it dropped and stayed the same more or less. nothing seems to get louder than 1000hz... (i...

ive got a smarthpone but the noise isnt really noticeable with music, only becomes problematic when playing games. if you sit far enough youll probably/maybe get used to it..? the problem is most likely 'electronical noise' coming from like you said anywhere, and i guess it cant really be...

@ProtegeManiac   ive got an appointment this friday, hopefully nothing too bad!   the return period is not that time critical, but im already a bit 'afraid' to just use them you know? if ive got this within a week of (normal?) use i can only imagine what a couple years might do..   by...

probably yes   i personally feel i may sit too close to them, and/or my ears cant handle it or something, well see..   but besides that ive also got a light noise coming from the speakers (gets worse when playing games) tried a lot of 'google-based' solutions to reduce the noise, but still...

yes i was planning to do that.   but what about the cause? could it be just volume or is it more likely im (too) sensitive for a certain 'thing' the speakers put out? or am i just too close at +-90cm? if its not the positioning then they are probably not good for me right? like i said i...

hi guys,   recently i bought the jbl lsr305 as a replacement for my old speakers. great sound, no question about it.   but heres the problem: after just listening to music for a couple of hours, at a very normal volume, certainly nothing too crazy, i have been getting weird 'sensations'...

little update..   started up some games, but i also get noise/buzzing. this time a lot more noticable compared to music listening.. (volume levels are at 4 1/2. trim switches at 0)   any suggestions i can try to reduce the noise? (cost free ;) )   ty

yep :) so stupid..

ok so i got the 305s today and i wanted to share some thoughts/impressions :)   i was a bit impressed with their size! (no manual, just a paper, dont know thats normall?) tried setting them up as best as i could, my desk may be a bit too small though...im about an arms length and a half from...

just ordered them, should be here next week. im excited! ordered some foam pads too, they were only 20€ so what the hell..   only thing i need to know now is how to properly control the volume? set the volume to (60-70?)on each speaker and then control the 'master' volume through...

Ok thanks for the clarification. One more thing, how do you know a device-in my case the computer- is unbalanced or balanced?

quick little question!   i saw you mentioned to connect them to my pc with TS cables, but isnt that supposed to be TRS ? (i read the jbls take TRS or XLR) just to make sure i pick the right cables!   or should i just get the XLR cables?   thanks again!

ive got a bunch of vhs tapes or something so that will do for now i guess. i can always buy stands later.   one more thing i wanted to ask you, about the quality of music files. what minimum quality is recommended for mp3s? im guessing 320? i do have some flac files, but mostly mp3s going...

yeah im gonna try to make it look a bit more 'elegant' :) is that a can of salmon? does it matter with what kind of material you raise them?   im a bit confused about the isolation pads, are they used just for isolation or for raising/angling too? (can i get the same 'results' with the pads...

so if i understand correctly its better to use books instead of the angled isolation pads? (setup perspective) (i wasnt trying to be cheap it was more of a question why people use it)   i forgot about the bass part, can you say something about the 305s on that matter? also lets say should i...

  i was thinking exactly the same thing. the speakers will probably be a huge difference from what im used to.   a dac will probably be the next step. someone i know recommended this one...

my motherboard is a gigabyte Z87X-D3H-CF, my sound is listed as realtek high definition audio.   connection like purpleangel said indeed. i noticed there is a xlr way too(with the jbls), but im not really sure whats the difference?   helpful article on the placement, but can they just sit...

is a dac really such an improvement over the built in soundcard?   i meant an 'overall volume control' knob, those on the back arent those meant for the level or something?   concerning the 'desktop usability', im assuming (almost) everything will sound better than computer speakers...

yes i will be connecting them to the computer.   i may get a dac later (i read that a dac solves a hiss/buzz that may or may not occur) or is it recommended to get it right away?   ( one thing i dont like about the jbl is that they dont have a volume knob, but thats a minor thing )

hi guys,   during my seach for/about new desktop speakers, i came across this forum a couple times and this seems like a good place to get advice/opinions. its time to ditch my old speakers (x530 logitech ) and upgrade to something decent. my goal is to get an overall better listening...
