Heat does not like Headphones =(

[Riverback]

Its summer, and everyone knows that makes it hard to listen to headphones.
I'm thinking of postphoning the DT250's (again >.>) and opt for a decent speaker setup

Right now, I'm looking at the Audioengine A2's and I'm wondering if there are any better ones out there for the price.
Any ideas to where I can probe around?

Budget?
Are they going to be nearfield with PC or further away?

Only $150 extra to go for the A5's.

[Riverback]

The budget's around $200-$300
and yes, they will be set next to the PC
I looked into the A5's but I think they'll be a bit too big to be on the desk next to the laptop.

I hate how my inability to upgrade is due to the lack of space around the house

Bullshit.

Don't.

[Riverback]

Its summer, and everyone knows that makes it hard to listen to headphones. and my house doesn't have air conditioning

Bullshit.

FTFY. Basically its only comfy enough when the night wind blows in

[MomijiTMO]

I'm with you. I don't listen anywhere near as much because it's so GOD DAMN HUMID. I do have A/C but don't use it much.

[ihasmario]

I only listen at night during winter as well because it's quieter and cooler. Some kind of audiophile voodoo goes on.

I don't think speakers and I are too compatible because of this, but we'll see where it goes. I think I'm done for headphones anyway, unless something comes along which knocks the crap out of my current setup.

[Eva longoria]

my headphone caught any technical fault may be heat destroyed it , need new one suggest which one guys? .

[grev]

Riverback is continuing my question for me.

But yes, need more answers!

Also, what is the difference between the A5 and the A5+? And would this: *SUBWOOFER LINK* The Audioengine S8 subwoofer work with the 5/5+ speakers?

[Riverback]

Yeah, the subwoofer works with them.

The old A5 used to have overheating problems, so hopefully they fixed it by adding in a bigger heatsink in the A5+ other than that you get a remote with the A5+.
Get rid of the link, Marcus doesn't like it when you link to other sites.

[grev]

Thanks Riverback. Just wanted to know, that's all, guess they are the better ones for the price and quality?

[Riverback]

Yep, that remote's gonna be handy in a lot of times.

There's probably better speakers out there, but Audioengines are a safe bet without having to go out to Hi-Fi shops and having a listen

[G-rig]

I agree headphones can be a bit hot for summer.
Enjoying my speakers too, headphones are great for night time though.

[grev]

Thanks guys, will be buying them now.
