Hello everybody.
I want to replace my Logitech 5.1 x530 with some 2.0 active monitors.
They will be connected to my soundcard Creative SB X-FI Xtreme Gamer. Sometime i use the headphones ( Sennheiser 429 HD ) for gaming, movies, music.
What would you recommend me for about 400 US $ ?
It would be nice if the monitors have headphones slot on the front / side, not in the back.
Is that possible at all, to use the headphones with this monitors, for example ?
M-AUDIO BX5 D2 | NetMusic - Instrumente muzicale, echipamente audio, Dynacord, Shure, Yamaha, Roland, Beringer, Electro-Voice
As you can see in the picture, there is no headphones ...
Please advice me, guys.
Thank you

I have a recording studio (using Sonar X2). I have Samson Resolv 6.5a studio monitors. Any studio monitor will work, just your choice.

I haven't seen any with headset jacks. I can connect the studio monitors to the PC (if needed) but I still have the front panel headphone jack is I want to use headset with the PC sound card. Normally, my monitors are connected to my Roland Octa-Capture recording interface unit, which also has headphone jacks.

I have a friend with a recording studio and he has Behringer "Truth" studio monitors. Those Behringer's are popular.

I don't know about the MAudio.
