We need an actual number for your budget, cheap to me might be different than cheap to you.

Also where are you located, US prices and selection will not be the same as abroad.

 

My budget is about $500, I'm in Germany right now.

 

Is Sonos available in Germany?

 

Yes, of course. I just wanted to say that I don't need big speakers because of the size of my room.

 

Start with a good set of headphones. The funny thing is that Sennheisers are much cheaper on sale here in the US than they are in Germany or does the government allow sales now?

 

ADAM Audio is based in Germany, see if they have any speakers locally you can listen to. I would try and visit some local hi-fi shops and listen to various speakers with your own music.

 

I already have Sennheiser HD202 which are not perfect but I use them sometimes, mostly I use my SoundMagic ES18 with my phone and I really like the sound, I compared with dozens of other IEM and these are IMO the best.

I want to get some non-head-fi Just in case if I want to enjoy the musik with my friend/s.
I also like to play some music while going to bed, with headphones ist not that comfortable.

I think you get my point.

 

Sonos makes a lot of sense if most of your music sources are from steaming services. Either the Sonos Connect Amp if you already have speakers or the Sonos speakers themselves.

 

His budget is $500, the Sonos Connect Amp would take all of that, and he needs speakers.

A basic receiver with bluetooth/wifi and a pair of speakers would fit his budget.

 

@Transmaniacon

Can you be more specific? What kind of speakers?
@hoyalawya
Are you a Sonos fanboy/marketing guy?

 

You will have to tell me what speakers are available in Germany. Are there any stores locally that sell speakers, or perhaps an electronics website like Crutchfield that you can buy from? Tell me whats out there and then I can be more specific.

 

So, I don't know what's available for you, but if I had that budget, I might look at something like a Denon AVR E300 (refurbished from accessories4less) and a pair of klipsch RB51IIs or if not available then a pair of R15Ms, which would come to 500 total before tax or shipping. If you can't get that refurbished receiver, then you should either look at stereo receivers or lower priced 5.1 receivers if you might want to expand in the future or you want more input and EQ options (in the latter case you would probably look to increase your budget by about $100). You should probably audition any speakers you'd be interested in, or at least make sure you are able to return them if you don't like them

 

Look into some Canton speakers - see if some are on closeout pricing
Canton is from Germany

If streaming is your thing try a wireless speaker.

I just picked up the Peach Tree Audio Deep Blue 2, BT speaker. It will easily fill your size room with sound.

It has very detailed highs and mids, great vocal presentation and a surprising amount of bass for its size.

It's BT only but has an auxiliary and optical input. List on it is $500. It may be the best BT speaker available for the price.
