Damn, those are nice. It may be time to finally retire the 21 year old Logitech set I've been running.

Only thing that sucks for me is my current mobo does not have an optical out, so I'd have to use a 3.5mm cable.

So I love the speakers already. My Schiit have not even arrived yet. Still using my FiiO. The only comment I would say is if you dont have a big desk consider speaker stands or a smaller version like the YU4. They sound so clear though and being able to add a sub should make anyone happy.

I have them on angled stands pointing towards my ears. The tweeter is not much below my ear which would be the ideal placement.

I deleted the first picture because it had my badge in it. Here is another since you requested it. They are kind of large. Im considering moving them into the bedroom and buying the next size down. But im really enjoying them so maybe not.

Those are pretty big. May have to go with the next size down like you said...

If you have a bigger desk or get speaker stands from the floor it wouldn't be an issue.
So could try the YU4 or Yu2 or Vanatoo Zeros which sound good but look like trash in my opinion.

A+ on this. I have an old Sennheiser 280 Pro and it STILL sounds amazing almost 2 decades later. The ear pieces have fallen apart and have since been replaced by shitty ones from Amazon, so I'll go to sennheiser's website and buy the "real" ones at some point.Dedicated headphones + shitty cheap PC microphone FTW. People are always astonished how good i sound on Vent/TS with such a "shitty" mic. They work great.
I also have a cheap $15 PC microphone from Radio Shack, and I sound great. People always compliment it when I use it (not very often).

The Kanto 2 YU2GR came today. And they are going right back. They sound just as bad as every other bookshelf speakers this size. They are just too small. Hooking a sub up didn't help because the speakers want to still handle the lows, which leads to a bloody mess in sound.
TLDR: Speakers too small.

Wife wants headphones for listening to college and youtube on phone. So I'm assuming no need for mic and I'm assuming wireless would be ideal but unsure if that makes for a big drawback. Anything in the $100 range? She's not a music snob so comfort and longevity matter over the best audio.
