Hi everybody . How do these sound , when connected to a home system , rather than to an i pod ?

Actually MUCH better. Audio on an iPod is compressed sound, but most audio from a home system is not. Plus, your home audio system has a much better amplifier, meaning less distortion in sound. So not only can you crank the volume louder, it will sound much better at both low and high volume than with an iPod. So yes, great headphones are even better with a home system. Hope this helps!

My son thinks they are excellent and have a clear quality when he uses them for two way video games online.

Sure. You could connect them with bluetooth or wire it directly into aux in. There is no iport dock like with an Ihome or similar device.

I'm running these as a 2CH setup and it sounds great (in my humble opinion) :)

I have only used them with my IPod Classic...they sound awesome...especially for the price.

what kind of "speakers" ? active or passive(they have a 1/4 entry or XLR? )neither way i would recommend this bundle get a real mixer (MACKIE, even PEAVEY)or an audio interface (i am really pleased with steinberg ur series)

Hardly "wasting" money in my view, they're a great set of headphones. But you'll get better results using high-bitrate or uncompressed audio and a better output than Apple, like a Cowon music player. There are also small portable amps you can use with the iPhone. The iPhone audio isn't tops but it's not that bad either.

I haven't set them up yet -- waiting for the remodel to complete. I bought a Sonos Connect:Amp to pair them with -- it's rated at Class-D (2x 55W, 8 ohms). The Sonos Amp is extremely versatile, can't wait to hear it with the Wharfedales. Should be very good.http://www.sonos.com/shop/products/connectamp

I'm returning my energies right as we speak.. and gonna give these a shot, my energies sounded crisp clear and beautiful with my polk fronts and hafler sub.. but a normal levels certain frequencies had them buzzing and popping..... in a tiny room they might do ok as 7.1 one with better fronts and sub like I said.. but on there own or in a full size living room they are completely worthless to me

They sound great. Think the manufacturer recommends setting to 100hz, I run mine at 80hz crossover and they sound perfect. Guess if you set to 50hz to find out, but would not recommend it, 80hz is the thx setting anyway. It would probably do 50-60hz no problem, but draw extra power from the receiver, when it should be for your mains.

I have the latest generation I-Pod nano. They provide uncompromised excellent sound and have a comfortable fit for my needs. The best out of whatever is out there (or at least whatever Best Buy has , as I sampled all that they have). Monitors work great with my I-Pod. One thing I noticed, though, that battery life decreases by about 20%. Difference being it takes more juice to power the Monitors as opposed to ear buds.

Oh most definitely. I have them hooked up my computer with a small little Chinese amp in my living room and they sound more than adequate for it.

They are headphones. You plug them in to the device. Sound quality is average

Just plug them in to the head unit. That's what I did for mines and they sound just fine.

They work fine. The impedance is 32 ohms or something. That's supposed to work okay with standard modern headphone jacks (like on a portable digital music player or laptop)

If you can get a solid connection (pairing), and sometimes that ain't so easy, it sounds reasonably well. They are a step below skullcandy wired buds in regards to sound quality--in my humble opinion.

They sound good beside an iMac, so I assume if you balance them correctly, they'll sound good on one too.

They sound fine. I run with a Denon surround receiver and sounds great, smaller room of course.
