I'd say that if you're not willing to put more then $100 in you might aswell wait with buying monitors. Sadly with monitors expensive means good, and buying bad/budget monitors for a start will only cost you more if you keep doing what you're doing (since you're gonna want some real monitors).<br>
<br>On the other hand, if you're willing to put more money in, I'm real happy with my Adam A3X monitors. Not sure what they cost a pair though but they're small and thus fairly cheap. For general purposes I'd say take a look at Adam or Genlec, those are two brands that always performs in tests etc.<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
can you recommend me some inexpensive but good small monitors and headphones for home recording? No high aspirations yet, just for doing various demos on my laptop. Admittedly, I don't know how to define "good" here, I just need them to be perceptibly better than your average desktop speakers and earbuds :) Similarly, I don't really know what "inexpensive" is referring to the above, but as a wild guess, let's start from $100. I prefer plain audio solutions, though will consider USB ones (my Samsung Q70 has two US ports only, so that puts some limitations).<br>
