Dont have room for a sub woofer. They dont have to shake the room but enough bass so that they dont sound like an ipod. Also, reasonably priced not $300. I currently am using an old pair of Yamaha speakers that have served me well with pretty good sound just no bass to them. I like my headphones but there are times I prefer regular speakers.

What a lot of companies sell now in true technical terms does not qualify as a subwoofer by true standards. The term Bass module is more accurate to as what they are.
