Creative t40에서 업글할거 찾다가 iloud mm특가 구매후 저음이 부담스러워서 팔고 다음후보 찾다가 메스드랍에서 요놈 135달라에 구매(배대지 25딸라인가 나옴) 우리나라에 뭐 후기는 전무한데 해외후기는 대충 플렛하다는 평이었음 t40 보다는 당연 저음은 더 나와주고 고음은 덜나옴 연결해서 듣고 처음든 생각은 어.. 이거 hd600인데.. 였음 젠하이저 베일이 느껴짐.. 플렛 맞는듯 저음은 mm보단 부족해도 단단한 느낌이고 t40에 비해 여성보컬은 약간 뒤로 빠지는 대신 치찰음은 잡아줌. 아직까진 각 대역 디스토션은 못느낌 정위감도 괜찮고 힘도 느껴짐, 스윗스팟은 넓은편은 아닌듯함 특이하게 스피커에 서브우퍼 연결단자도 있고 usb전원 out 단자도 있고.. 왜있지.. 화노는 가까이 들어야 약간 있는 정도고 절전모드 있어서 그마저도 신경안써도 됨 총평은 뭐 지극히 개인적으로 봤을때 t40에서 업글은 맞고 mm보다는 뭐 취향이겠지만 저음이 좀 과하다 하면 맞을수도.. 대신 정가 299달라는 아닌거 같고 메스드랍가 정도가 적당할듯함

max4298I think you're expecting too much from 3-inch drivers. Of course you'll get a fuller sound out of, for example, the JBL 305 monitors at $300. But it's also more difficult to fit JBL 305s on a desk with a PC tower, monitor(s), keyboard and mouse. Sometimes reduced size is a benefit, as long as you don't expect profound bass or high output. And not many computer speakers offer a non-proprietary, line-level summed mono RCA output allowing you to add any subwoofer you choose. PSB has acknowledged the biggest shortcoming of mini monitors and provided a subwoofer output to address it. If you aren't using a subwoofer, you aren't doing it right. If you're struggling to find the sweet spot, try positioning the speakers farther apart. I've got them about 45° with a toe in directly toward my ears. I have freedom to move back and forth and side to side without profoundly disrupting the sound stage. Also, make sure the speakers have room behind to breathe. They need to sit at least 6 inches from the wall I think. The USB port is intended for an external Bluetooth receiver. It cannot be used as a DAC or for power, I don't think.
