i dont mind doing it in headphones, i quit like being able to work without generating too much noise outside of my room. Im more worried about the harm having headphones on for hours will do, i have notice my ears are sometimes a bit sore after extended periods.. not sure if this is from the sound, or just the pressure put on my ears from the headphones clamping in. Based on what everyone has said, ill jump on some speakers. What sort of set up would u guys recommend in terms of speakers? i know everyone has krks, are they actually that good, or am i jsut paying for the name?
