Hi all,
can you recommend me some inexpensive but good small monitors and
headphones for home recording? No high aspirations yet, just for doing
various demos on my laptop. Admittedly, I don't know how to define
"good" here, I just need them to be perceptibly better than your average
desktop speakers and earbuds :) Similarly, I don't really know what
"inexpensive" is referring to the above, but as a wild guess, let's
start from $100. I prefer plain audio solutions, though will consider
USB ones (my Samsung Q70 has two US ports only, so that puts some
limitations).
I also have a M-Audio Firewire Solo. I don't know how much experience you've had with yours, but if you haven't updated the firmware on it then I would strongly advise against doing it. If you have, then you already understand the pain.
For monitors I have a pair of M-Audio BX5a's. When I'm recording and need some isolation I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 280 pro headphones and for double checking mixes I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 595 (open air) headphones. Of course this all costs more than $100, but I'd consider it all "budget" class and it doesn't suck.
