I have HKs on my computer, love them.  They actually came with my last 'puter &amp; I hooked them up to this one~~~a laptop, with very tinny sounding speakers~~~when I got it.  Now, I'm older than the "Louder is Better" generation, but I love to listen to classical music &amp; hear all the little shades, nuances of the notes.  These have been serving me well for 10 years.  I always did think that Bose was overhyped &amp; overpriced.
