Title: Why I'm wearing headphones aka my speakers suck
Post by: Corsair on March 05, 2005, 10:55:46 pm

I hate the speakers that are built in to my laptop. They absolutely blow. Because of it, I'm being forced to wear headphones right now while listening to music because the speakers have absolutely no bass whatsoever. All I want to do is revel in my music with good bass and not have to be confined by headphones that aren't comfortable. Is that too much to ask?

:sigh::hopping:

Actually I'm using the Creative SBS232(I think) and I have been well pleased.  A zx3500 it aint, but in a small enviroment like it's in, it suits.

$500 for a MP3 player?
ROTFLMAO
With $500 i'd buy a Portable Media Center, that does everything ipod do plus video and FM.

Personnally, I'm using hifi wired headphones for this kind of situation : they're made to give a very good sound while not being tiring and/or irritating to wear. Costs a bit much, though. Mine has cost me 80€ when I bought it.
