These are significantly better then the Logitechs. Highs and Mids are in a whole other level and the bass is completely different. The Logitech features a more shaking bass, the Swans feature a more thumpy bass. The Logitech's shake walls and have distortion, the Swans have a much more accurate bass that produces significantly more accurate sound.
I recommend the Logitech's to some people, but the Swans are in a different league.
I needed something for my dorm room. My home set-up was a pair of KRK V8s, a pair of E8Ts and a KRK V88 in the center with a RP10s on the floor. With that being said I also have quite a few Grado cans and the SE530s are my headphones for everyday use. I read the reviews for the Swans and took a $100 plunged. I am satisfied, but comparing them versus the multi-thousand home setup is not something that is fair. I would never by a Bose product except a pair of 901s.
Any other questions, I'll be happy to answer them.
Cool, yeah I also saw the klipsch 2.1 pros, but after reading your threads and checking out other threads through the power of google (X versus Y etc) and a balanced recommendation from (seemingly) experienced users, I sprung for the Swan M10s.
With regards to your home setup, are you saying that with your home set up you had a 5.1 surround sound setup? It sounds like you did your homework in getting good parts to build this --- was it mainly for your computer or for a home theater system or both?
Also, how much did this home system setup cost you and what did you use it mainly for (and to add to that what do you use the Swans for? From what I understand its more for music which is what I prefer over video games and movies even though it serves those purposes well)? Do you play any instruments or do any recording for high quality stuff? I'm just curious because my needs are not in the price range yet (maybe in 15 years or so when I actually start making money lol).
Also, just out of interest, you mentioned you have multiple grados headphones --- I have the Grados SR-80 as I read that it had more bass and was an improvement over the SR-60 headphones so I sprung for those (after deep searching comments all over the web). Which ones do you use and for what purposes?
I really like my grados sr-80, but i do understand that the shures are nice too though I didn't choose them because they plug into the ear canals and I was afraid of hearing damage lol (also I thought was kinda gross with ear wax especially if i ever wanted to share them with others)
