Speakers and Headphones and that

So to cut a strong lorry short, I probably have to buy some
speakers for my computer, does anyone have any recommendies?
I'm not Mr. Money I'll spend around £50 ish. I expect.

Also whats the good in the world of headphones? Maybe I'll
cop some of them as well for increased listenage. Can you
get good ones for cheapish? Do they get annoying wearing
them like a big pair of noncy earmuffs? What about them
cordless ones, hows that work out?

Go team

do you want open or closed phones?

i think cordless ones are good for wearing around the house,
but the quality is not that great

open - headphones have some air system- the air will flow to
your ears.
closed - your ears are completely covered by phone system.

computer speakers, altec lansing are the best for value,
klipsch are a little more and have some higher up lines

closed are more comfortable, I'd say.

what I would define as closed and open. To
this day I'm not sure if I'm on the right lines :)

there are variations on the closed cans tho, with some
allowing more external sound in than others. These type of
closed cans are mainly used for vocal recording though.

I get you on the closed and open, but the description of the
'closed' ones said "Open, supra-aural, dynamic hi-fi stereo
headphones" so I'm confused again. By your definition I want
the closed ones though.

open, flat muffed and run around £58
