    Super lakas ng buzz niya tho. Almost nakakabingi. And I tried disconnecting everything from the inside. Nasa PCB mismo problem.

    Just curious, ano na gamit mo ngayon?
  • Peorth

    Good comment. I have a big place. I will buy a few pieces of those speakers you know the same pieces for surround sound. I might place it 4 feet far away from my monitor so from me it will be more than 7 feet away because my monitor is also BIG.

    baka audio amplifier chip or bad caps. locally available naman parehas ng component.

    bumigay na few years back. I didn't bother to repair it.

    Current setup.

    Dac plus Onkyo Stereo amp and Klipsch RP-160m. More than enough to fill a 30 sqm room.

  • currently using asus xonar dgx 5.1 soundcard (chose it bec. of the headphone amp)... using it also on a xenon ax-302... kung magpapalit ako ng mga usb dacs?... what is a good starting point budget wise?... medyo nabasa ko kasi na you'll need a dac + headphone amp?... stack ba yun?... will the dac (+headphone amp) make a difference or stick na lang ako sa soundcard ko?
  • @STASIS
    Im using FX Audio X6 Dac. It's a good Dac+Headphone amp with USB input and also has RCA pass thru line out for speakers.
    Other good starters are Syba Sonic, Schiit Fula and SMSL M3.
  • @wakidiaz: if you may correct me kung mali?... when using speakers thru the dac... need mo ng rca to 3.5mm female na cable di ba... then doon isasaksak yung 3.5mm male cable ng speaker?
  • Hi mga sir! Baka may makatulong sakin.

    Currently using Schiit Magni and Modi 1st gen and plug to my computer. Ngayon, yung DAC/AMP ko detected naman sa devices pero wala as playback device. Pano ko kaya to maaayos? Tried searching for solutions sa google pero madalas ko nakikita driver update eh wala naman driver tong DAC/AMP na to.

    Salamat sa makakatulong. :)
  • Best small speakers for desktop mainly for music listening in the background. I'm eyeing on the Bose Companion 20 computer speakers but would like your inputs before making the purchase. TIA

    Generally Bose is okay, read some reviews of the Bose C20 but if it got compared to the Creative T20 and T40 SQ wise, I don't think its worth PHP15000-16000? Especially "just" for background music listening? The easiest alternative to suggest is most bookshelf speakers of Edifier since you can audition them and compare with Bose :D

    Generally, Bose are ok speakers. They are tuned towards the bass and loudness. But for its price, there are a lot of alternatives on the market.

    Check mo sa likod ng Modi 1 yung switch. May switch yan for driver mode or stand alone.
  • Mga sir bumili ako ng qkz vk4 pero yung sinasabit pala siya sa tenga pag isusuot. Pede ko ba palitan cable para hindi na kailangan nakassbit?

    Pwede ka mag palit ng cables pero sa design nung IEM, talagang isasabit at isasabit mo parin.
  • Ohh. Medyo hindi nga comfy pag hindi naka sabit. Hirap kasi isuot pag mahaba buhok. Hahaha
  • got the fx-audio dac-x6 na... ok naman siya as headphone amp... working din yung rca to 3.5 for the speaker... ang problem lang eh kung speakers na may optical input aside sa 3.5mm cable like r1280db ng edifier... yung coaxial and spdif/optical eh for input lang...

  • hi mga boss, any recommendation for a Gaming Wireless Headset under PHP 5000?

    Suggest ko sir, get an entry level HT speaker and a T-Amp. I'm using a Wharfedale Diamond 10.1 pair with SMSL amp as my PC speaker setup for the past 6+ years na at until now hindi pa naman ako binibigo mapa movie or music man.
  • What's a good bluetooth speaker price up to 5k?

    Klipsch Promedia 2.1 (w/ bluetooth) - si Listening Room meron at 21.5k
  • @markieboy

    Thanks for the suggestion sir. nasa dubai po ako wala po ako makita na ganyang model dito.
    1st option ko po sana yung Edifier S350db mejo nagaalangan lang ako sa durability may napapanood kasi ako sa youtube sira agad.
    2nd option R51pm or the fives - mejo malaki nga lang at kylangan na iwall mount. hindi ko sure kung ok pa rin ang listening experience kung overhead ang placement ng speaker. mejo malaki na din difference sa presyo compare sa edifier.
    3rd option: passive speaker ,dac and amp - if budget permits
  • Klipsch Promedia 2.1 (w/ bluetooth) - si Listening Room meron at 21.5k


    Meron na pala ulit nito. Tinignan ko yung specs, pinalitan na pala ng Klipsch yung unreliable BASH amp niya to a 200-Watt "Digital Hybrid" Amplifier. Interesting. Dream computer speakers ko yung mga Klipsch Promedia speakers nung early 2000's.
  • ^
    same tayo sir haha... isa pang dream speaker ko nung time na yun - Creative Megaworks 550
  • guys feedback naman SML AD18. planning to pair with an old JBL component speaker before buying the right speakers for me.

  • Sirs

    I have a Tower Type Subwoofer with 2 6 inch drivers. I am planning to buy a super tower high-end personal computer. Is it fine to put it beside my tower type subwoofer?
  • Hi Guys,

    Magandang araw po sa inyong lahat. Medyo may problema po ako sa sound ng pc ko. Smooth naman pero parang may popping static sound (yung pop sound na bigla kang nagsaksak sa ibang outlet). So far eto yung ginawa kong troubleshoot:

    1. Uninstall/Reinstall drivers - Updated driver and even roll back to old version (Ganun pa din)
    2. Check cables, try different cables, try different outlet (Ganun pa din)
    3. Alisin yung mga device sa paligid baka nagiinterfer yung signal (Ganun pa din)
    4. Try to change the power options sa PC (Ganun pa din)
    5. Yung mga nakikita ko sa youtube (Disable enhancement, change format/quality).. Ganun pa din.

    Any help will be appreciated.
  • Hirap maka hanap ng edifier r1280db black today. Alternative ko sana ung altec lansing Helix kaso walang Bluetooth. Ano suggestions nyo pa na sa around ng price nyan? Thanks!
