    Good set of headphones for a beginner?

    Hi guys, I went with my gut feeling and bought the m50's. I actually quite like them, but for me there is not quite enough bass. Some of the I think they are good headphones...they seem to do everything well but nothing which stands out for me. Jack of all trades master of none. although this...

    Good set of headphones for a beginner?

    So basically the UCA202 DAC I own wouldnt make a difference to the m50s if i just plugged them straight into the laptop/phone. If it will really make the difference I would buy one of the FIIO phone amps. So basically the DAC I have is not a headphone amp? It does have a headphone socket on...

    Good set of headphones for a beginner?

    Thanks for the reply I have looked at the DT770 and they seem like a very good headphone for the price. I am pretty much torn between two pairs those which you have mentioned and the Audio Technica ATHM50. The only thing i am concerned about is do I need studio headphones or are they really...

    Good set of headphones for a beginner?

    Ive owned a pair of Sennheiser HD 202 which I picked up from amazon for about £30 and they have been brilliant until about 2weeks ago where I caught them under the door and the wire coming out of the right earphone snapped :( I have had them for about 2 years and even though they are very low...

    Hi guys, i had planned to start a new hifi system with a proper setup amp and decent studio monitors but as a massive setback ive just bought an xbox one and also had to shell out on repairs for my car so i have decided to buy the aego m 2.1 system for now... I had already ordered my DAC which...

    Budget Amps and speakers for a starting point.

    Ive thought about this, but how would i connect active speakers to my laptop and would that completely stop me from being able use a subwoofer aswell? I know these speakers you have mentioned are bluetooth which would be fine with my phone but what about my laptop? The only advantage active...

    Budget Amps and speakers for a starting point.

    So far the good points i can see about the Cambridge 351a USB for easy connection, Front Mp3 input, No need for seperate DAC. Good ponts for the Denon pma720ae Very good reviews, £50 cheaper, Can connect a subwoofer. Only problem with this one is no USB like the Azur Hmmmm.... Guess i need...

    Budget Amps and speakers for a starting point.

    Right its going to be between the 351A and the PMA720AE then. Considering they are both on sale i dont mind getting either one. I have to admit, the USB which overrides the computers soundcard on the 351A is very appealing as I wont have to purchase a seperate DAC, has anyone had experience on...

    Budget Amps and speakers for a starting point.

    After much thought I have finally decideed that I want to go the seperates route as my first experience of Hi-Fi but on a budget - for now (Buying a PS4 so have to be sensible). I am planning to get a nice little budget hifi set up for a year or two and then upgrade at a later date. I have set...

    Any recommendations for a 2.1 Hi-Fi system around £200 for a newbie?

    So with all the stuff ive learned so far would i be right in saying its better for my situation to get a decent active speaker set around 200-250 than a cheaper seperates set with passive speakers etc? Yeah space isnt a massive issue as i first thought as I can always get a shelf above my...

    Any recommendations for a 2.1 Hi-Fi system around £200 for a newbie?

    Yamaha and Behringer make some of the best budget active speakers around so they would definitely be worth an audition if you get the chance. Yeah im gonna go with these active speakers they look much better than a cheap multimedia system and not quite as expensive as a seperates system, as...
