Hey everyone. After putting together my new PC, I've been having a blast playing all sorts of new games, and although I already have a great set of 2.1 speakers, I sometimes (for the sake of those living with me) need to cut down on the volume. For this reason I thought why not buy some good headphones for my computer?
I've never really bought heaphones for a computer, or a really good set for music, so I'm a bit of a newb a need some help. I've been looking around and researching and have found that apparently in most cases you can get a pair that are amazing with games, or amazing with music, but rarely both. I looked around for sub $100 headphones and so far the best has been the Koss Pro 4-AA which have been around since the beginning of time, but are still apparently the best heaphones ever made (at least for the price).
As good as they may be, they're 210 ohms and so I'm sketchy as to how good they'll sound on my 750i FTW onboard soundcard. Apparently you can get a cheap amp for them (someone's idea of cheap is like $100-300) but I'd rather not go that far into it.
In any case, could you guys help me out a bit? Also, my 2.1 speakers have a headphone jack in the volume control pad, and I was wondering if the sound would be better/on par/worse than if I hooked my headphones directly into my PC.
Thanks ahead of time for the help! I'll try and respond as much as I can once I get home later.
Have a good one!
