Either way, pre-orded this cookbook the day of the announcement. Arrived on Wednesday, keen to see what comes of it 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onto the actual speakers, instead of the box It has significantly cleaner audio with plenty of bass for it's use-case as an occasional music player and mostly a TV/movie sound system. Has roughly the same power output as the Z-2300's mid/treble output but less bass power, but there's still plenty of bass output But it also costs about 2x the equivalent logitech offering (Z632), but the build quality and sound quality are definitely worth the extra cost, let alone the ability to control it with remote ... Have used them for a couple of days now and they're great 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to make my own system one day - I reckon it'd be a pretty fun project. That system is really good though, you chose well! Clear sound with a lot of punch from the sub. Amazing how good things can sound when you put it through a well built system. Good choice! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 22/10/21 05:00 AM Share Posted 22/10/21 05:00 AM My Logitech Z-5300 setup is still going strong since March 2010. I didn't want the hassle of having an amplifier etc. and after reading a review about them being heard 4 blocks away, I was sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 28,291 Member For: 16y 9d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 29/10/21 04:35 AM Share Posted 29/10/21 04:35 AM bought some head phones to replace the old and decrepit Koss BT540i that I posted here in 2015 ->https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81090-cool-stuff-you-just-bought/?do=findComment&comment=1572808 They arrived on Monday from the US (not actually a bad delay considering the *gestures broadly* situation). Monoprice BT600 ANC. They are excellent quality and have a great set of features for their price. Having used them for an entire work-week, they're absolutely a huge step up in quality compared to the old ones in all respects (except the touch controls are a bit finicky compared to buttons, but oh well). These are my first noise-cancelling headphones and you could say I'm impressed but that'd be a huge understatement. the box: The carry case and the headphones inside: And a random assortment of photos of the headphones as they came out of the box: They go really loud, have a "harman" curved audio tuning for all it's connection types which I have tuned out with a known frequency response re-jig via "wavelet" on Android and holy crap do they sound good now and most reviews only have the sound quality as a minor annoyance depending on preference. Let's hope it stays together better than the old koss which just kept falling apart and having to be re-glued over the months/years as the "build quality" feels pretty good, but it's plastic and as we know plastic doesn't last forever 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
