because the larger foam does not distrubute the weight right, it does get very "top heavy" with the "pro" version and does not fit so well

when it comes to music, both have very nice bass and sound fun, but sounds in the non pro version are sharper, maybe just because of the shell, if someone told me there is no other difference, i would believe him

I'm not running it on something super fancy, just 20$ external audio card

but end effect is that "pro" version is less tiring for longer listening sessions, buth both are purchase i'd recommend

not chifi but fidelio x2hr for $140 https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826138361&ignorebbr=1

only ships to canada tho :(

x2 is shit

Black version went to my friend for 50$ superlux 662hd evo went to my mom for bread with blueberry jam and i m keeping the fancy version that does look like something made of cheapest plastic avaible, but color scheme is good match for my furniture.

What the hell does "sound fun" mean?

it means they trying to justify the purchase

Can I beat https://meh.com/ with something from Ali, or for that price should I just get the Polk?

From you I expected that tou built your own <:thvnk:332928260004642827>

@timsandtoms why is the price much lower than amazon

And for chink speakers, it's either edifier r1280t/r1280db (latter has Bluetooth) or Swan d1010 (which seems to be oos on amazon)

And speakers are a big and mostly hollow box so it's usually more cost effective to just buy locally

@Deleted User has the r1280db iirc

Are the edifier r1280t a big step up vs these?

And meh is a daily deal site, hence the crazy low price.

It's from the guy that did http://www.woot.com, pretty much to the day that his non-compete was up after Amazon bought Woot.

@timsandtoms dont think u can beat the polk for 40$ lol

do you have to have passive speakers?

Didn't know about that sub, thanks, I'll poke around.

@Julian @timsandtoms yes I have the 1280db

after i got active speakers, passive speakers never again.

and it is not bad idea to make your own speakers either
