SPY_jmr1 Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 well which is it? which do you like better? I am a headphones man all the way, I can play whatever I like as loud as I like.... with speakers, it was a constant battle about noise with the other people who live with me.... how bout you guys?

Wacky_Baccy Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Same as you, and for the same reasons I occasionally use speakers, but that usually means I can't have it nearly as loud as I'd like... I spent £100 (about $140) on a decent pair of headphones, and I've never regretted it - the sound quality is very nearly as good as my stereo! (And it's not a bad stereo ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
{ReJe} Nash Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Headphones are best for playing when you have other, unhappy people in the same house. Speakers are best for playing music very loud when there is no-one else around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Truthful Liar Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Same here, I'm going with headphones all the way. Mine have digital surround sound so.. they're even better than my sterios!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Truthful Liar Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Hey question, how good are the Inspire? I'm asking because I'm rather stuck between deciding wether I should get a Klipsch Pro Media Sterio system or the Creative Inspire 5.1 - I'm probably going with Klipsch but I'd like to see some reasons as to why getting Creative would be a better idea.

MasterD-LeyAmas Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 $140 for a pair of headphones? Not Plantronics brand by any chance? Sounds familiar, execpt you can get them for free. I'm not telling you how, just that you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoda_623 Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 I like speakers too. I like everyone to hear what I'm listening too. Plus most speakers go a lot louder than headphones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Truthful Liar Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Yes, but Zindell - do you know anything of the Klipsch sterio systems or have you ever tried them? I need some valid explanations on personal experience or reviews based on the differences in Pros&Cons... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zindell Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 That I don't sorry, I was just responding to your post in context to the poll. I use the Creative Inspire and they are wonderful Speakers. they work great for DVD movies with DTS sound and so On. So There's one Pro for the Inspire that's all I can give you sorry.

The Truthful Liar Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 aha!! Nevermind everyone!! :D There's a new review out today from my fav spot: http://www.hothardware.com which answers pretty much I wanted to know: Klipsch = Better sound, better everything yet the difference between Klipsch and Inspire mainly rest on Music rather gaming quality Inspire = Cheaper and still pretty good, you're getting your moneys worth of course... Copy from site review for the Insipre 5.3: Pros · Decent sound for the price. · Great for DirectSound 3D games. Centre channel can be auto-generated if desired. Cons · Weak subwoofer. · Rather distorted when the volume levels goes above 1/4. · No external Centre channel volume control. A good read for future people who want to know: http://www.techspot.com/reviews/hardware/inspire5300/index.shtml Cheers P.S. I'm going with Klipsch all the way now, just as I was planning to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zindell Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 I have an external volume control for the center channel... and no sound distortion whatsoever. This reviewer is not too bright methinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zindell Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Ah that is why I have the 5700's, Which are much much better. He was reviewing the 5300's which have no external amplifier tpe control. Oh well your mind is made up anyways. I don't work for Creative so I'm not gonna push for you to change your mind. Buy what you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
