<p>"A good set of headphones would be more worthwhile."</p>

<p>Headphones are great for mid and high ranges, but you can't get the same bass response as you can with a woofer.</p>

<p>I dunno, a good pair of headphones (IEMs or closed cans) will replicate bass pretty well and won't annoy your neighbors. I had a basshead living under me last year and at 1 am the pounding rap music got a little old.</p>

<p>By "good pair of headphones" I'm talking $200+ here, not something you can get at target.</p>

<p>$200+ for a pair of headphones isn't really nessisary for a (practical) good pair of headphones. At that price range your headphones all but require a headphone amplifier and a good soundcard. You can get a good bang for your buck pair of headphones for less than $100: sennheiser, grado, koss etc. But yeah.. that wasnt your question. I recommend these: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000AZ680/ref=sr_11_1/102-7906072-3309706?ie=UTF8%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000AZ680/ref=sr_11_1/102-7906072-3309706?ie=UTF8&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>I don't know if circuit city still sales them. They require a little fiddling with your media player's equalizer but when I tell you that they're the best deal for under $100 i kid you not. I have them and many have mistaken them for an actual stereo system. Just warning you.. The sub is a tad large and heavy.</p>

<p>the grado SR60 are good in the low price range, but the comment was about properly replicating bass, and the poster stated even good headphones can't, which isn't true.</p>

<p>those speakers look good but I have to say I've never heard of Acoustic Authority.</p>

<p>continuing on about claytonc's speaker recommendation; the reviews on amazon.com say that this set of speakers is not shielded. this is not something youd want to be missing on a set of speakers for your computer.</p>

27

<p>The sub isn't shielded. The sats are. This don't really matter in that the sub is too big to place anywhere on your desk anyway and since he's running them from a laptop, having the sub on the floor and the laptop on the desk pretty much negates the magnetic interferance issues. UVMLauren I feel what you're saying and totally agree, just wanted to point out that entry level headphones are often better at producing "clean" bass than entry level computer speakers. </p>

<p>Edit:The reviews on epinions are totally different and more in depth by the way.</p>
