Headphones that sound like a HiFi?

If you mix using a particular HiFi then it will only sound great in that HiFi. every HiFi manufacturer build

Best speakers for a computer

Get yourself a pair of powered monitors. Whatever fits your budget. Yamaha HS5 are a tried and true option, that's what I personally use.

Why do people say Yamaha HS5 (or the entire HS series) is uncomfortable to listen to?

Yes. But the HS5 does have a boost around 1khz. Which compared to a speaker (or headphone) which has a more neutral mid-range response could make them seem a bit shouty. And they're a little bit too flat. People tend to perceive speakers (even studio monitors) that have a little bit of tilt in the f

Speakers for my DDJ-FLX4

Lot of bass = big speakers. And these aren’t cheap. For learning you really don’t need a ton of bass. I think ur budget is pretty low tho. Lowest id probably recommend would be a pair of the Mackie 5 inch studio speakers (200 for a pair). You could also get a single Yamaha Hs5 (also like 200) and pl

New guitar, who dis Amp?

You want a FRFR speaker (for example, HeadRush, Valeton) or a powered studio monitor (for example, Yamaha HS5). Your GP-200 already acts as a preamp/amp.

Best Setup for Documentary Edit

Spend less and save the rest to hire out for mix and color at the end? Mac Studio with at least 64gb of ram or any build from or based on Puget Systems if you want a pc.
