**EnR** · 04-16-2008, 08:09 PM

I'd like to know some of your opinions on really nice sounding computer speakers, I want to get something that sounds better then my iPod earphones, able to hear small details in the music

This is what I want right now:

anything else I should look into?

tsugomaru · 04-16-2008, 08:13 PM

wan't?

You should also look for a good pair of head phones because you probably won't want loud music playing in your house 24/7 if you're living with other people.

I always do that mistake >_> thinking I'm writing don't.

But yea, my computer is in my room, I usualy have my speakers fairly loud, I lisin to music about 3/4 of the day. I never thought about earphones, that soounds like a good idea also.

Edit:

I'd suggest anything from Bose. It's exspensive, but it has amazing quality.

Edit: try talking to iPatch. He should give you some great advice on speakers/headphones.

Probably not my greatest suggestion ever but I got all my accessories from the school. They has some awesome speakers, keyboards, mouses, mouse pads, etc. I just grabbed what I wanted. If you're good at stealing, try it.

**EnR** · 04-16-2008, 09:03 PM

school = ****ty comp parts.
speakers = built in huge monitors rofl

**Nightfirecat** · 04-16-2008, 09:07 PM

Wow... You've got a bunch of money to spend on sound stuff...

If you don't have a good sound card (or any sound card) these will be basically completely useless...

**EnR** · 04-16-2008, 09:12 PM

I'll prob buy a new sound card also.

Btw, parents paying, not me

My life = Computer/sleep. Music is playing all day.

*shrug* I've gotten 3 whole computers from my school. Windows 98, XS, and something so old I don't know. It was a Mac though. But yeah, that sucks dude. I got some XP hardware and hooked it up with my lap top (Windows 2000) and life was good. Then I installed StepMania and life was great

Not completely true. I have my Bose system hooked up to onboard sound, and it still sounds fantastic.

**Starshot** · 04-16-2008, 09:39 PM

Bose is a joke.

Yeah, I said it.

Sure, the volume is loud, but the actual wave depth is absolute crap, 'cept the subwoofers, those things are amazing. Though, unless you're a big 'ol audiophile/composer like myself, you probably wont notice those things.

I recommend a pair of Sony MDR-NC6s. I've composed with these babies for the last three years and they haven't failed me yet. You can pick up one refurbished for around $20.

I don't know anything about the headphones, but I have a friend who has that set of Logitech speakers, and they are VERY nice. You don't really get a whole lot of the lows, but when it comes to everything else, (I have found) that's it's out of this world.

lxDestinyxl · 04-16-2008, 11:39 PM

Get Sub-woofers

**iPatcH** · 04-16-2008, 11:53 PM

Hello, my name is iPatch. Are you needing headphone assistance? Avoid wireless, bose, skullcandy. What is your budget? Aim me if you need to.

Those, are by far the greatest ****ing headset in the world. My buddy owns those, he paid a little bit more than that though, and it is crystal clear, sets your mind to the music, no distractions... It pwns. literally ****ing hard.

This man owned the thread, bye.

Two artists said Bose isn't the way to go, so everyone who said Bose, gtfo

**MalDON** · 04-17-2008, 12:46 AM

If you are going to get the Sennheiser, get it here: http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-RS-...8411124&sr=8-1

Much cheaper. Tiger direct is such a ripoff on everything they have.

Tps222 · 04-17-2008, 12:51 AM

Just talk to iPatch. He's pretty much the residential headphones/speaker guru on the site.

**jimerax** · 04-17-2008, 12:27 PM

how about this?

Magewout · 04-17-2008, 01:06 PM

Sennheiser.

For the best of the best, go for the HD 650 Pro. Too bad they're halfopen.

For the best you can get for a decent price, go for the HD 280 Pro.
