    Hi, I have been using a creative 4.1 for the last few years. Now, I need some more punch. So, searched a lot and found out that AV receivers are very expensive. After some research online, I found that a car amp with speakers and subwoofer will be a better replacement. You can use the computer power supply to power it. For Rs15k you will get a very good spec system. What do you think? Will there be any major disadvantage with this setup?

        Well I've two questions,

        1. Am looking for a good in-ear headset (for noise cancellation) for my mobile phone. A mic would be a plus point but am looking for good sound quality first.

        2. am currently using some stupid computer speakers and ready to upgrade. Due to lack of space am gonna stick with a 2.1 system. Any suggestions? Again am looking for good sound quality.

        Thank you for your inputs.
        for your second one I would say Yamaha any day above onkyo or any other brand but go for wooden speakers.

          I wouldnt agree i was under the same impression until my last creative headset, there lemons in every brand.

          But i don't like them to use contineously as they fit in ear & ear feels pain due to them after around some 20/30 minits use.
          So last week buyed Panasonic RP HT030E-H Headphone from flipkart .
          Panasonic RP-HT030E-H Headphone | Headphone | Flipkart.com ( Note that it don't have microphone )
          Because they are easy on ear , foldable , yes easy to hang on shirt like googels .
          Sound quality found to be good ( but not good compared to Creative Home Theaters )

          Next time will buy something like this Philips SHP1900 Headphone | Headphone | Flipkart.com or Bluetooth one like Nokia BH505 or BH905i .
          am looking for a 2.1 system and a in-ear headset but thanks !

          hahaha.. onkyo costs lik 20k and more dude.. yamaha would be much more costlier i guess. but thanks for your suggestion. in my budget not many speakers come in wood. i think iball comes in wood but even that is wood pulp and not wood.

                  I am using panasonic. It has ear hooks however i do not know he model no. Its just 700rs. Clarity and bass effect is simply amazing. The ear hooks are of rubber. So long usage will not be a problem

                        Are they inear? I would prefer in-ear as ear shape does not allow me to use regular earbuds.

                        Lol, funny you should say that because the reason i'm buying new earphones is because i broke my ep630. i tend to break my earphones very soon and have gone through several ones. So wanted to buy something relatively easier on the budget.

                        Having read some reviews online, these are the ones i'm looking into

                          I was searching for a very high quality headphones. I went and checked out this site Head-Fi.org - Headphone forums and reviews for audiophiles .

                          I found that a whole new world of headphones/earphones exists out there. I got Audio-Technica CKS 77 , a Japanese brand. And they are simply the best headphones i have ever bought. Sounds like a big hi-fi audio system is playing inside my ears. The bass is out of this world. Like a big subwoofer. Though they are expensive at Rs. 5k. But I wanted very high quality headphones. Enough of Sony, Phillips, Panasonic, sennheisers and skullcandy.

                              In that case, can you offer me a solution for the problem here - http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/coffee-l...tml#post866065

                              I now know what the problem is. All i need now is a Solution. Will burning the CD with old Nero software (Say nero 5/6) will solve the problem??
