I'm no audiophile...I have several Bose headphones and these earbuds blow them away.  The bass is excellent but doesn't overpower the music...I'm hearing vocals and instruments unheard with previous cans/buds.  I highly recommend these and if you're on the fence as I was since I'd never heard of this brand...get off the fence and buy these.  They're not even broken in yet and already sound fantastic...looking forward to the reintroduction of my music collection.  Buy them now...thank me later.

The Orbitsound SB60LX is a speaker-base that sits under your TV and is ideal for rooms where a surround sound placement is not possible or desired.

A speaker-base provides better sound than a traditional soundbar, like the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/VIZIO-S3820W-C0-38-inch-2-0-Home-Theater-Sound-Bar-with-Integrated-Deep-Bass/dp/B00DG6FOV0/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">VIZIO S3820W-C0 38-inch 2.0 Home Theater Sound Bar with Integrated Deep Bass</a>&nbsp;but is less capable than a Soundbar with a subwoofer unit, like the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/VIZIO-S3821w-C0-38-inch-2-1-Home-Theater-Sound-Bar-with-Wireless-Subwoofer/dp/B00CO07C5U/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">VIZIO S3821w-C0 38-inch 2.1 Home Theater Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer</a>

The SB60LX measures 23.5" L  x 12" D x 3" H, and most slim profile TV stands less than 50" will fit on it comfortably. It is a well-constructed unit that consists of 2 front-facing drives, 2 side-facing drivers and a single 5" down firing subwoofer. The SB60LX enhances your viewing experience by providing deeper bass, cleaner vocals and a pseudo surround sound feel. In addition to controlling the volume the unit provides the ability to control bass and treble from the remote.

The sound experience is great but not fantastic in my setup, where my TV is placed in an open room. The SB60LX is unable to provide a true surround sound experience as there is no wall on one side to bounce the sound. Most of the sound, albeit great sound, seems to come from one direction.

A slim rubberized remote control accompanies the unit that has oversized independent buttons for volume up and volume down. It also has buttons to mute, control Bass and Treble, and a button to switch between the 3 sources - TOSLINK (optical), RCA and 3.5mm jack. You can use the 3.5 mm jack to play music from your phone or tablet. Rounding off the buttons is a standby button.

On the unit you have a master volume control and a power switch. There is a blue LED, behind the front grill, that switches to red when on standby. The LED provides feedback, by flashing, when a remote command is executed.

The SB60LX competes, at a lesser price-point, with the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Bose-Solo-15-TV-Sound-System-Black/dp/B00N1SSX6Q/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Bose Solo 15 TV Sound System, Black</a>&nbsp;and though the Bose manages the bass and surround slightly better, I do not believe that it warrants the 30% premium.

Recommended - especially if you do not have a high-end TV set.

Pros:
* Well-constructed compact unit fits under most slim TVs below 50"
* 3 AUX inputs for multiple device hookup - TOSLINK, RCA and 3.5mm jack inputs
* Provides an enhanced sound experience in open spaces
* Good price-point
* Ability to control Bass and Treble via the remote control
* LED on front provides feedback and switches to red when on standby
* Master volume control on back of unit to limit sound as required
* IR remote control enables all functions to be programmed to your universal remote

Cons:
* Surround sound experience is not the greatest, especially in large open rooms
* Rubberized remote control buttons are a little less responsive and require positive pressure
* Remote requires to be pointed to the front of the unit to work

I saw lots of music stands at the $10.00 range where the reviews say "pretty good for a cheap music stand."  I decided to go with something a little nicer and hopefully get longer use from it.  With this stand, I feel I got a much nicer base and bag for my extra 10 bucks, but not much improvement on the music desk.

The base of the stand is very sturdy, it has large knobs on all the screws to make it easier to set up and take down.  It is a three section stand, probably taller than the 48 inches advertised. The tubing is sturdy and not going to get bent up easily.  The legs attach to the bottom section around a plastic collar to keep the paint from getting scratched.  The bag is also very nice -- it is nylon fabric, with all the seams, edges, and stress points reinforced by webbing tape.

The music desk tilts from vertical back to about 45 degrees, again with a big adjusting knob to make it easy to tighten at the desired angle.  Whereas the base of this stand is a definite "step up" from the cheaper stands, the desk is about what you would find on a cheaper stand, with no particular improvements.  The one star deduction from perfect is because of the desk, though I have no doubt it will hold student music books and sheet music just fine.

I was already a fan of the in ear Bose, but the fall out.  I wanted to listen to music the way I did a decade and a half ago in high school when music was more important than anything else and you could put on headphones and the world would disappear. There are subtle nuances in well-produced music that are typically missed by most speakers and headphones.  I have B&W speakers at home for this and these Bose headphones so far have left me with the sensation that I can take my home speaker setup with me.  I read criticism that these were too bass heavy.  I don't think it's too heavy.  I think these are very sensitive to bass frequencies and recreate the intended sound of the mix.  Electronic is deep and punchy, rock and screamo freaking hits to the point that you actually feel the headphones kicking, and more delicate recordings seem balanced and crisp with excellent sound stage and tone.  Consider me spoiled.

The Orbitsound SB60LX is easy to set up, functional (with 2 aux audio and one optical audio; connecting cables included), and sounds terrific.  This soundbar is intended to serve as a base system for a television and is sturdy and looks good (all black).  It's approximately 23.5 inches across and nearly 13.5 inches in depth and as a result will accommodate a fairly good sized television (I placed it beneath my 40" Sony television and it fit nicely).

There are five speakers w/ two on the side and a built in subwoofer (all self contained).  Max volume for the system can be set with a knob on the back.  Off/on and bass/treble and volume are easily controlled with a small black remote (slightly smaller than an iPhone 5).  It's a good looking system that's a breeze to set up and use (far less complicated than my Samsung soundbar) and the sound is very good and fills the room.  The system indicates off/on state with a red/blue light that's quite bright and somewhat annoying in a room where sleeping is meant to occur, but that's my sole complaint.  This is an excellent product that sounds great and is very easy to use.

First, the appearance is stellar.  It's a tidy little device not much bigger than a 90's pager.  The brushed aluminum case and tactile feel of the volume knob are top notch.  I did notice some rubbing at first around the #4 position on the volume knob where it came in contact with the housing.  I gently pushed it away with my thumb and haven't experienced any rubbing since (6 weeks and counting).  Small complaint really.  What makes the E10 near magical is the audio quality it produces at this price point.  The sound-stage is broad, the clarity is excellent, the bass is crisp and the treble is not fatiguing when driving my 64 ohm Sennheiser HD280's.  A significant improvement over my Creative X-Fi PC card and onboard sound from my lenovo laptop.
The E10 is well suited for my small office (12x15) providing a line out to my&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/FiiO-A1-Mini-2x14W-Class-D-Digital-Audio-Amplifier/dp/B004FSXON8/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">FiiO A1 Mini 2x14W Class-D Digital Audio Amplifier</a>&nbsp;as well as providing the headphone jack on the front when I need to keep the noise contained.  For the money I don't think there is a better quality DAC/headphone amp out there than the E10 right now.

Like all headphones, this one too has a distinct sound, ie. it is not neutral. I find the W5000 to be the right balance between warm and neutral. The soundstage is very large, and all the details are present. I find that when listening to vocals, especially female vocals, or listening to a concerto, the solo instrument/vocals tend to stand out, making it harder to hear the details. It sounds very natural, but is a matter of preference. Additionally, the bass is not as pronounced as on other headphones--it is there, and very tight, but not overwhelming. I like it better than the Denon D2000, which is too cold and analytical. Compared to other ATH offerings such as the A900 and the ES7, it has a much wider soundstage, but the flavor of sound is pretty much the same. Basically, you are just getting more of the benefits of those headphones--more details, more soundstage, etc. I have used this with an Onkyo receiver hooked up to a Sony DVD player, and it sounds very good. It also works well with my Cowon D2, and also very well with my Sansa Clip, believe it or not. Basically, it has very low impedance, so I can listen to it at a fairly loud volume with my Clip volume set at 3/4 of max. Overall, a great headphone that gives you great enjoyment, even if you don't spend the extra thousand to buy an amplifier and DAC.

The satellites sound amazing but the subwoofer can't handle much base at all. If you turn the speakers up more than half way on a base heavy song, it will likely damage the subwoofer. Mine is rattling

The speaker design really carries the music across the room and it is very light which makes it very mobile. The back-light is a cool feature too. When it came down to it I am looking for sound quality though and the JBL doesn't offer much bass to offset the treble. It also had a static backdrop when the volume reached approximately 50%. For the price point I went with the UE Boom, although a little larger it boasts much better sound.

I like this Classic Rock AmPlug much better than the AC30 one -- the "normal" setting sounds beautifully clean, and the additional two settings really step up the "snarl" in a way that sounds much better than simply turning up the gain knob (which is the only way for the AC30 to get a heavier sound).  It means sacrificing the tremolo settings that the AC30 has, but I think it's worth the tradeoff.  The chorus, delay, and reverb effects sound really good, but I wish there wasn't as much of a dramatic difference between the three levels of each effect.
Now, I'm going to echo what I said in my review of the AmPlug Bass amp:  The ability to pipe in music through the aux jack is great when I want to play along to songs, and the volume of the guitar and the music can be changed independently.  The simplicity of the setup -- guitar, AmPlug, headphones -- has caused me to pick up the electric a lot more, as I can quickly "gear up", sit back on the couch, and hear myself play without offending others in the family who want things to be more quiet. The only thing that prevents me from giving it 5 stars is that the cost seems at least $10 too high for something so simple and lightweight.

it's amazing sound for me, i like this stuff, the sound of base is so strong, and i can't control myself for shake.

I love this item.  It's expensive compared to other boom boxes but you get what you pay for.  My son loves it.  I have a big living room but this thing fills it with ample sound with excellent base.  I also love the design.

THE SOUND IS GREAT AND THE BASE IS AWESOME!! Will totally buy again

I bought these as a small system for ambient music in the dining room.

Pros:
 - Stylish and elegant
 - Build quality (feels sturdy)
 - Deep bass; for sure, not comparable to the 12in subwoofer in my home theater (paid 3x the price of this entire system) but still quite impressive
 - Does not create hearing fatigue (probably due to low distortion)

Cons:
 - Lacks midrange; the vocals, especially for male singers, seriously lack body. Same for saxophone.

So, put simply, you have a nice system, the bass drum is punchy, the highs are silky (I mean that in a good way), but Barry White sounds as if he had lost 100 pounds.

Considering the relatively high price of this system, I returned it. To me, the midrange is the most important part of the spectrum. I won't sacrifice it, especially on a system of that price.

After a few hours playing with my new HT-1R, I think the sound of this amp is fantastic, and the ISF feature permits a very wide range of different tones.  However, the amp really cannot handle large amounts of overdrive (nor is it meant to). Using the "clean" channel gets very nice traditional blues tones.  Keeping the gain at noon or below while adjusting the volume on the "overdrive" channel gets some really good hard rock tones. More than that on the overdrive channel, though, there is too much noise to make it worthwhile, especially if the volume is past noon as well.

The amp is very good for what it does (overdriven tube sounds at low volumes), but it is not meant as a high gain amp and falls down in this area. There are some reviews online that claim the amp gives a good high gain tone when both gain and volume are cranked all the way on the overdrive channel.  In my experience this is not the case.  This is not a knock against the amp, but personally I have had more enjoyment out of it when keeping my expectations in line with what it can deliver.

Quality wise, the amp seems well made, with a few small gripes.  The power cable is a little loose in the back of the unit (this happened in two of these amps that I had), and the cloth covering the speaker is not really taut (as it is on some of my other amps, even lower-priced ones).  I don't think it would take much abuse, but again as a bedroom/practice amp it should be fine.

I've had mine for a week and I love it.

Before buying, you should definitely know what it is and what it isn't. It's not an 808, and it's not a 303. It doesn't have a clap sound (which is fine with me--I've always thought claps were cheesy) and it doesn't have a ride or crash cymbal, although the open hi-hat can get a fairly sustained sound. By adjusting the pitch and envelope on the drums and combining them, however, you can actually get a LOT of different sounds. In general, I think it sounds MUCH better than the Volca beats.

I think the bass synth is great. I read a lot of complaints that if you turn the resonance all the way up, the bass gets very quiet. True. So don't turn the resonance all the way up, and it sounds fine (or turn it way up for that "pew-pew" laser sound which can sound cool sometimes). What I love is that you can adjust the velocity of each note in the sequence, and you can also use the "tie" function to smoothly connect or slur different notes together. This way, you can get a LOT of articulation and textural variety.

The biggest (and in my opinion ONLY) flaw is that THE BASS DOES GO OUT OF TUNE. But you CAN download a tuning utility from Akai and it DOES work. But you'll have to re-tune it often. I think if Akai were to fix this in a "Rhythm Wolf 2" or something, you'd have a truly classic machine.

BUT...!! I don't think it's meant to be used as a stand-alone piece of gear. I have been using the MIDI-out to control an Electro-Harmonix 8-Step CV Sequencer and the gate output to control the arpeggiator on a Juno 60. With just these 3 pieces of gear, the Wolf, the 8-Step, and the Juno, I have stayed up late into the night making hundreds of amazing sounds and grooves. I haven't even tried running it through any pedals, which if you consider the fact that the bass and drums can each have a separate line out, you should realize the possibilities are endless.

Really, the people who hate on this machine simply have no imagination.

I rarely listen to anything other than classical or pop music, so if that doesn't suit your taste, you need not go further.

First, allow me to extol these headphones for their excellent reproduction of classical music ambiance, both in spacial orientation as well as their reproduction of reverb effects. These headphones really shine when they're being asked to portray the likes of Howard Shore's "Lord of the Rings" scores or Mahler's many complex symphonies.

However, I've found that upon using the headphones for pop music, there seems to be a general loss of the lead singer within the mix. For example, upon playing Florence + The Machine's new album on my home stereo, the vocals are front and center and provide a much-needed punch to the music's backdrop. However, with these JVC headphones, Florence's voice is drowned out by her background music -- not exactly ideal for a singer who's best asset is her kickass power vocals. And this occurs repeatedly with all pop bands I've listened to. So be forewarned -- pop music isn't exactly the strong point of these headphones.
