Ive been browsing trying to find a high quality set of IEM's for Gym/Running use for less than $200. I will be using them with my ipod nano worn with an armband. Preferably they would be noise isolating, would have to fit snug and not start to fall out while running, not have any type of touch...

I just got the Swan D1080MKII 08 speakers in today and they look great and sound crisp and clear.  It definitely lacks bass even when the dial is maxed and my equalizer setting is set to high bass.  I know they aren't meant for bass but I'm definitely missing some the bass that my crappy 2.1...

I just got the Swan D1080MKII 08 speakers in today and they look great and sound crisp and clear.  It definitely lacks bass even when the dial is maxed and my equalizer setting is set to high bass.  I know they aren't meant for bass but I wished it packed a little more punch.  I'll get a...

First I started by buying a Logitech z2300 system. I have thoroughly enjoyed the bass and the satelites were lacking. I had a problem with the sub rattling after about a year, and Logitech replaced them with the Z623s. The woofer especially does not compare to the one of the z623s. So that...

Hi! I'm looking for a new set of powered, 2.0 speakers to use with my Macbook Pro and Nuforce uDAC.  I've been using Creative T20s for years, and they've been great.  But I'm looking for something with an indisputably much nicer sound, and the ability to fill a room or two while still sounding...

Which one sounds best?  Easy question, right?  From Mac laptop, hoping to spend $200/pair or less.  Audioengine has tons of reviews and the A2 is affordable for me.  A5 maybe if I stretch.  Swan I know little about but they get a few good reviews & comparably priced.  Swan also has some other...

I was thinking about getting some swans D1080MKII 08. But are they a little big to put on a desk? Seems like they would be pretty close. anyone have some pics of them on your desk? Thanks in advance

Hello all,   Just had a quick question. I've been reading through a bunch of posts on here for a week now and I'm starting to get very confused. I recently purchased some Swan D1080MkII 08s and they should be arriving next Tuesday, I'm using my computer as source with craptacular onboard...

Man, it always draws down to uncertainty with me.  Anyways, I was about to go with the M-Audio AV40s the other day, but then I came across the Swan D1080MkII08s, which on Audio Insider are only about a $20 difference from the AV40s.  I did try and do some research but couldn't find any reviews...

Hey, I'm sure this has come up a lot, I was looking for some good speakers for my computer, at first I saw the logitech z623's, and klipsch pro media and started looking at self powered bookshelf speakers. Living in Canada my choice is reduced and my prices are inflated so selection isn't...

I'm looking to get either of these speaker sets but I can't really find a comparison of both. Is there anyone out there that has listened to both and can tell me the key differences?   Thanks in advance.   EDIT: Also the Edifiers S330D seem like a good choice, but I need someone to...

Hi all, just recently got a new computer and only have my Beyer dt770 cans for audio. I got the Creative Titanium HD soundcard so didnt slack in that area but want some speakers just for when friends come over and listen to music and watch movies etc I dont want to spend too much as im a student...

  Hi guys,   I've bite the bullet and bought the Swan d1080mkii to replace my Altec Lansing fx6021, got a great deal too at $199 AUD. I still have time to change the order and tempted at the M50w and H4. How do these compare with the H4 or M50w? From what I gather, H4 is one of the top...

Swan HiVi D1080MkII 08 Product Page             Given a lot of interest around here in better quality 2.0 audio on a computer using speakers, particularly those larger than traditional "multimedia" active speakers, I decided to write a short review on this pair from Swan...

I want to get a pair of speakers for my PC and I've narrowed it down to these 2 sets of Swans. Is the performance of the M200MkII substantial enough to warrant the extra $100 over the D1080 IV?

I'm looking for some new desktop speakers coming from the Logitech S220 they were speakers to say the least but I want something with more kick and warmer sound. I plan to run it with my Xonar STX so I can use RCA or Stereo and hopefully the sound card will help liven up the sound.  ...

Hi all, After years of great service, I think it is finally time to get rid of these speakers that are older than me. I am looking for a pair of computer speakers for preferably less than 100NZD, which equates to about 75 USD. My budget isn't too strict, but I preferably don't want to spend...

Hi everyone, I'm interested in getting a DAC but was wondering if it would even make sense for the setup I have. So I inherited (in a good way) a sound setup consisting of a tube amp (http://tubedepot.com/diy-k-8ls.html) and some KEF speakers...

Well i just got rid of my Logitech X-540 5.1 as i dont use 5.1 for gaming anymore i use a headset  and i want better speaker sound quality . Im now after some 2.1 speakers but i have no idea what to get. Mostly will be used for music (pretty much every kind) while im not at my pc (have a...

Hey everyone, I've been looking to buy new speakers for awhile now, and the sub from my old crappy Altec Lansings blew out last weekend, so I think the time has come to go ahead and do it. I live in a college apartment so with parties and everything, I was kind of assuming a 2.1 system with a...

SWAN T200B REVIEW   SPECS   In The Box - T200B Speakers R/L - RCA Cable R/L - Two Power Cords - Gloves - Bass Tuning Plugs Build Quality/Design Oh man...have you ever seen something as beautiful as these speakers? They have this inverted triangle design along with this...

First of all, it has been awhile since I have been around Head-Fi and I am really happy that the site seems to be doing so well. Everyone here is so awesome and I would like to thank you all in advance for any recommendations or advice. Now onto my question.   I recently moved into a new...

  I am on a quest to find the *best* set of 2.0 desktop speakers, and only 2.0 speakers. They must be active and self-powered, as subs are big, bulky and often overpowering.   I've been through dozens, and still haven't found the perfect pair.   Readers, I do hope this thread saves...

Hey everyone! I have what might read as a strange request, I work at my Mac all day and I like to listen to records from the 60s in iTunes while I do my stuff. I need some speakers with a Jack Port for my headphones, preferably a volume button and they should not be wider than 8cm, that's a...

I just got a Bushmaster MKII DAC and would like to replace the very skinny optical cable that came with my mini system with something more up to date. The cable I have is at least 8 years old. The Bushmaster goes up to 192KHz so am I correct in thinking that I need optical cables that can pass...
