    Tingin ko worth it sir, kasi with one device i-improve niya ang sound ng speakers and headphones mo. So sulit narin ang investment dahil parang na-upgrade mo yung sound quality ng 2 devices for the price of one. Also magagamit mo parin siya with future upgrades in case magpalit ka ng speakers or headphones.

    Just take note sir na hindi mo yata magagamit ang headphones + speakers ng sabay with the FiiO K3 so check mo lang instructions on proper usage :-)
  • I am inclined to buy Logitech Z337, meron pa bang alternative na mas maganda perhaps at the same price range?
  • @aweyeah06

    Guys pa help naman sa pag decide kung bibili ba ko ng dac amp to improve sq. ang speaker ko po na gamit is Edifier R1580MB at HP naman ay ATH M40X. Balak kong bilhin na dac amp ay yung fiio k3. Malaki ba maiimprove nun sa mga gamit ko? tsaka worth it din kaya? kasi ka presyo ng HP ko na yung DAC Amp na yun hehe


    Ano currently meron ka? Malaki improvement? Unfortunately ay ikaw lang makakapagsabi nun especially na hindi naman hard to drive mga gamit mo ngayon. If you have the cash and wanted something portable, yes okay sya. Kung naghahanap ka ng alternative, nandyan ang FX-Audio DAC X6 for 1/2 the price.

    Or mag FX-Audio 03 Tube pre-amp + FX-Audio DAC X6 combo ka kung gusto mo ma experience ang smooth warm sound ng tube setup :D dyan mapapansin mo difference sa sound signature pero mawawalan ka ng portability nga lang

    check mo yung Edifier R1580MB
  • Anyone here interested to buy Logitech G560, Razer Nommo Pro and Edifier E235HD to try out one of these speakers?

    Anyone here thinks these speakers sounds good?

    Opinion of anyone as long as it is constructive is welcome.

    Thanks...
  • Platinum Soundbard+Bass or Remax RTS 10?
    Pahinga naman ng inputs nyo. Thanks!
  • may user po ba dito ng FX Audio Tube-03? interested sana ako gamitin ang pre amp na to sa speaker system ko. any feedbacks?
  • @fakuryu

    Thanks but I bought the Logitech Z337 instead. Ang ganda ng tunog parang mini home theater na rin para sa maliit na room.

  • Dumating ka din :D Blon Bosshifi B8 + Linen memory pads + high purity cables = wide headstage
  • Kakareceive ko lang ng FX-Audio Tube 03 preamp. Sulit na sulit. First time ko gumamit ng equipment with vacuum tubes. Very convenient volume, bass and treble control for my speaker system. Tingin ko na-enhance pa nito ang default na treble at bass control ng speakers ko.

  • whew! bumigay na yung altec lansing vs4121 speakers ko after more than 10 years of use hehehe! trying to look at altec's website, mukhang they don't manufacture these kind of speakers anymore. any alternative mga sir? 2.1, may kahoy na bass. price range 2k - 3k
  • Saan may mas murang JBL Charge 3?

    Initially Charge 4 dapat pero parang mas ok pa kase yung former.

    Update:
    Ordered sa Shopee 5.6k with free JBL case.

  • meron bang tube amp for 5.1 speaker?
  • Pahingi po mga sir ng mga experts advise nyo kung ano po sulit na 5.1 speaker or book shelf speaker. Around 10k t o12k maXx budget. I prefer po sana 5.1 speaker pero kung mas maganda ang book shelf okay lang naman po. Mostly gagamitin gaming 60% and 40% movie watching. Thank you.
  • Pahingi rin po ng advice para sa may bass/subwoofer na speaker. Currently I'm using Edifier r2000db pero nakukulangan ako sa bass nya. Ano ho mas maganda sa mga sumusunod?
    -amplifier + subwoofer + r200db
    -builtin amplifier (like 2.1 channel speaker or 5.1 etc)

    Thanks a lot.
  • Good am mga paps. Na build ko gaming rig ko last week. Nag pplan naman ako ng audio setup para don. Gusto ko sana maayos sa gaming at maganda din yung magiging experience pag nanunuod ng movie. Wala pa po akong idea about sa mga setups na ganon. Recently, nag ssearch lang ako about soundbars. Pricey pero kung worth it naman, syempre iconsider ko na din haha. If ever, pwede po ba magpa guide kung san ako pwede mag start sa pag search para mas magka idea ako sa gagawin kong setup? Salamat mga paps.

    @fakuryu
    active ka din pala sa thread na to paps haha
  • @cii_seven

    Hehe medyo Lang, ano nga ba ulit setup mo?

    Yung problem with Edifier R2000DB is wala siyang subwoofer out so yung built-in crossovers niya will assign low bass frequencies sa woofer ng speaker. So even if mapag-combine mo ang R2000DB + subwoofer setup, may low bass frequency sounds na lalabas parin sa R2000DB instead of lahat sila pumupunta sa dedicated subwoofer.

    Suggestion ko is go with a 2.1 speaker setup or go with passive bookshelf speakers + amplifier with subwoofer out + powered subwoofer. Most likely baka kailangan mo i-sell yung R2000DB para mabawi mo din yung cost niya.

    Easiest setup is to look for 2.1 speaker systems tulad ng Edifier S350DB or hanap ka ng magandang soundbar with subwoofer. Pero kung gusto mo yung makakapili ka ng sarili mong bookshelf speakers and subwoofer, go the external amplifier route.

    Check these budget digital amplifiers and meron silang subwoofer outputs:

    - SMSL AD18
    - SMSL Q5 Pro
    - Topping MX3

  • Di ko pa rin napapalitan yung Creative Gigaworks T20 Series II ko. For some reason kasi nabuhay ulit pero ramdam ko na naghihingalo na ulit sya haha.

    Ano nga ulit recommendation nyo na pamalit?

    Mas ok sana kung may optical port sya. Tas magagamit rin both for TV and PC (sabay talaga haha)

    Siguro 6-7k budget range. Kung pwede sana walang subwoofer. 2 speakers lang. Para somewhat space saving pa rin lol. Salamat!

    Take a look at Edifier R1850DB for around Php 7K. Has bluetooth and subwoofer out so pwede ka mag add ng subwoofer in the future.

    Thanks sa recommendation! will check it out asap!

    Depende din kasi sa budget yan eh, kung under 5k:

    Swans HiVi D1010-IV 2.0 - 5930php (probably the best affordable 2.0 bookshelf speakers in the market)
    Edifier R1280DB - 4120php (kung may optical out yung mobo mo, magandang choice to)
    Swans Hivi M10 2.1 - 3450php kung gusto mo ng medyo ma-bayo yet affordable speakers, not as clean sounding gaya ng D1010-IV

    Unfortunately, audio is super subjective and parating the best ay ma-audition mo sila pero not all sellers may have the stock para ma check mo tunog. Pero yung R1280DB meron ata sa malaking mall sa Ortigas at sa pagkakatanda ko sa Edifier store may stock ata sila for testing.

    JBL Arena 120, nasa 12k lang ata dito, Hindi sya ang pinaka technical na audio reviewer but dang those speakers! You might need a separate sub-woofers kung mabitin ka sa low end.

  • @Evil_Blade...

    depende sa budget mo at depende sa listening preference nyo, better audition the available 2.1/5.1 multimedia speaker on the market...
  • @fakuryu,

    ganda ah. meron ba yan optical out? pwede rekta sa tv? or kelangan ng receiver/amplifier?
  • @lucky023

    Yung Arena 120? Yep kailangan nyan ng amp since Hindi sya powered speakers. Mga 20-100w per channel na amp.
  • Thank you sa nagrecommend ng kef ls50 wireless. I got one last month and paired it with a power sound audio subwoofeer s1500.
  • Ano ma recommend nyong headset na less than 3k ang price?
  • Sikat ngayun yung Tin Audio T2 pasok ata sa price range na yan. Asa 50USD yun so around 2500?
  • @imscythe

    Ano ma recommend nyong headset na less than 3k ang price?


    Corsair VOID Stereo Carbon - 3480php
    Plantronics Rig 500HD - 3000php
    SteelSeries Arctis Raw - 2300php (safest bet)
    Steelseries Arctis 3 Analog 7.1 - 3590php
    MSI Immerse GH60 - 3100php, medyo bago sa market at medyo interesting na headset since HiRes certified sya (marketing gimmick IMHO) but sya ang may pinaka malaking drivers sa lahat at 50mm, so para syang full sized headset sa laki.


    @matchachloe

    Under 2k nalang ang T2, fotm ang T3 na malaking improvement daw sa T2Pro pero ang pinaka interesting ay yung P1 dahil planar drivers na pero baka nasa 5-7k yun paglabas
  • @fakuryu

    thanks. I'm actually eyeing HyperX Cloud Stinger or Corsair HS50 because they have the best reviews on that price range. Pero I can increase the budget and I'm thinking about getting SteelSeries Arctis 5 2019 Edition, mas gusto ko kasi yung subtle lang ang pagiging gaming headset para magamit ko in case for mobile phone use. Kaya mas prefer ko ang HS50 kaysa sa Stinger.

    Since hindi pa ako naka experience ng gaming headset malaki kaya ang sound quality difference for example ng HS50 sa Arctis 5?

    Yun oh, very nice sound system sir congrats :-)
