    USB computer speakers?

    Looks pretty interesting but I think it might be too big for my desk. The Audioengine A2+ speakers take up around half the space.   Any word on the Monoprice hissing at low/no volume? I was looking at the specs for the $125 Presonus Ceres 3.5BT (RCA, 1/4-inch, plus Bluetooth built-in) which is...

    USB computer speakers?

    Now that Apple has eliminated optical audio-out in its Macbook Pro headphone jacks, since I'm probably buying one anyway  I'd like to get computer speakers (1.) with USB audio and (2.) costing no more than around US $250.   The only decent USB-audio speakers I've found in that price range are...

    Powered monitors: what connection for Airplay streaming?

      My M-Audio DSM1 monitors have analog inputs (balanced XLR or quarter-inch TRS jack connectors) and digital inputs (AES-EBU and S/PDIF).   If I want to connect an Airport Express (or Apple TV) to make an Airplay-based music/radio streaming setup which of the inputs would give me the best...

    Deal Alert! Head-Direct RE0 $79 for Thanksgiving.

    Which one: Denon D100 or AT E7?

    Everybody: thanks for your assistance here and in a previous thread. The M50s look great but are too big for me, I think. I ended up ordering the Denons for $97.77 at that big 'South American River' site.

    Which one: Denon D100 or AT E7?

    Which do you think I should get, and why? I'm trying to decide on a portable headphone I'll be using for a few hours at a time, daily, outdoors. Considering my budget (up to $120) and my needs (drive an unamped iPod, portable, sturdy, comfortable, moderate deadening of street-noise, an...

    Replacing PX100 for portable/outdoor use (budget $100)

    sovkiller, I appreciate your input, but iems just aren't appropriate for my portable needs. I don't want to deal with the issue of getting the earbuds dirty (I make deliveries and would have to remove and reinsert iems every 20-30 minutes, all day long) and don't want to deal with periodically...

    Replacing PX100 for portable/outdoor use (budget $100)

    Nepenthe, that IS a great price. Unfortunately, it's not from Amazon itself but from Sixth Ave Electronics advertising on amazon. They have a very mixed reputation, apparently: Sixth Avenue Electronics / 6th Ave Customer Ratings, Reviews and Prices at ResellerRatings SOVKILLER, I'm looking...

    Replacing PX100 for portable/outdoor use (budget $100)

    Okay, but for my *budget* -- going up to $100 (okay $110), what are my best choices?

    How to they compare to the AT ES7 'phones for $110?

    Replacing PX100 for portable/outdoor use (budget $100)

    Thanks. Like I said, I am giving myself a bigger budget for these replacements. I don't think the Portapros are going to be demonstrably better than the PX100 I had. Sealed is fine, as long as they aren't too big/dorky/heavy and I can commute and walk around with them without difficulty...

    Replacing PX100 for portable/outdoor use (budget $100)

    The Denons look good but I have to buy something for myself by this weekend, so I can't look around for used cans right now. And $150 new is over my budget.

    Replacing PX100 for portable/outdoor use (budget $100)

    I need to immediately replace my old Sennheiser PX100 headphones which broke yesterday. Budget around US $100. I will be using the headphones exclusively for commuting and walking around noisy city streets with my iPod Nano. I prefer something foldable or collapsable, and something that...

    Sealed cans for eyeglass-wearer on noisy streets, subway?

    (I asked a similar question recently, but I neglected to mention that I wear eyeglasses, and I see upon reading reviews that this could be an issue....) With a budget of $175, I'm looking for cans for when I don't use my Westone UM1s. I intend to use them primarily on the street and in...

    Non IE headphones for street use? (Up to $175)

    The 770 Pro seems a little big. (Of course, I cannot really tell from pictures.) Basically I need some kind of mix of SQ and portability/durability/smallish size.

    Non IE headphones for street use? (Up to $175)

    For the price, what do you think of the differences between Audio Technica ATH-ANC7 Sennheiser HD 25-1 Sennheiser HD 280 in terms of durability (going in and out of messenger bag), sound isolation (busy streets, subway travel) and comfort? Any other cans I might want to consider for...

    Non IE headphones for street use? (Up to $175)

    Oh, I forgot to mention that when I'm outdoors I'm either listening to spoken voice (podcasts, audiobooks), or rock along the lines of the Dandy Warhols, Aimee Mann, Neil Young, or The Pixies. But mostly podcasts....

    Non IE headphones for street use? (Up to $175)

    Hi, my first post here 5 months ago asked about in-ear cans like the Westone and E61 for using while walking around town. http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?p=2784500 I got the Westone UM1 in March and love it, but I find that it's not ideal for my use outdoors, taking in and...

    UM2 or UM1/E6i + custom Westone earpieces?

    If I wanted to spend the money (not sure if I do), would I be better off with Westone UM2 phones, or $70 Etymotic E6i phones (or $110 Westone UM1) plus custom earpieces? With the cost of an audiologist visit for fitting, the prices would even out. Suggestions?

    Most comfortable under-$175 IEMs?

    Hi, I perform a lot of deliveries and I'm out in the noisy street all the time. I have to raise the volume of my Sennheiser PX100s to possibly-unhealthy levels when there is a lot of traffic, so I'm looking for affordable IEMs which will sound at least as good as my Sennheiser cans but let me...
