Hmm, product of the year... Sounds good! Thanks for the recommendation. I'm buying in 2-3 weeks, so I still have time to decide, but these are definitely a good candidate.

Hi guys. Here I am again, looking for recommendations. This time I'm buying IEMs and my price cap is £100. Currently I'm using a Sansa Clip player with Sennehiser HD438 headphones. I need something that will fit under my hat, not take up so much space and isolate better, so I opted for IEMs...

Yes, I've read that. But I'd be interested in a direct comparison between any of the mentioned 3 speakers.

I want to buy them tomorrow, but I started to think about it again.. maybe I'll go for the Rokits after all. Has anyone had the chance to compare Alesis m1 520 USB's with the Rokits ? How about those Ayra 5's ? Those are the 3 I'm thinking about. I really like Alesis for the price and for the...

Thanks, but I fell in love with the Alesis. Maybe I'll get some IEMs for the money I'll have saved. :) Thank you all for the advice.

They look great, but how do you think they compare to Rokit's ? Anyone else can recommend these ?

Looks like I'm gonna go with either Ayra 5's or the Rokits (if I find a good second hand deal). Can you recommend a good DAC that would go with them ? Obviously it needs to be worth the upgrade from simple jack output. Price limit around £40.

I went to a hifi store here in London and got a recommendation for RCF Ayra 5. Allegedly they are similar to the Rokits, but better. Anyone knows them ? I did think about having the sound go through USB and bypassing my poor quality integrated sound card (I'm getting a new computer soon, but...

I'm kinda confused about these out/inputs. I thought cinch (RCA) was analogue... isn't that correct ? Why do I need a DAC then ? I thought I can just connect the jack output directly to the RCA input. My PC only has a 3.5" jack output and I'm definitely looking for a solution that can work a...

I think the ones that 'the record spot' recommended were HS50M - they are active as well. I ruled out the A5s for now. I can't go higher than 300 (ideally around 250)... unless I find a good 2nd hand deal on them. I also ruled out the Creatives. They may be a bang for the buck, but if I can...

Thank you for the answers. When I think about it... active speakers would probably be a better choice for a computer-based setup. So far we have the following candidates (prices for new pairs): Audioengine A5 - £330 KRK Rokit 5 - £250 Yamaha HS50 - £240 Unfortunately I couldn't find Roland...

I'm looking for a stereo system which I'll be using with my computer (integrated sound card) for up to 200-300 pounds, but I'm absolutely clueless what to look at. As far as genres go, I'm literally wihout limits (I'm mostly listening to electronic music though, so I want punchy bass). I have...
