Stupid question.. Do you need an amp to use this or can I use this with my PC and my Sennheiser 598's? Will it still help with audio quality & bass?

you can hook and audio amplifier to it.it only has rca inputs for diferent sides and a gound and a small power wire.i don't think you can use it with a pc.some pcs has built in eq in their music library so you can adjust the sound quality.

No, You need an amp for it to work and t is also 12 volt. Generally used for car audio.

The eq is for a 12 volt car audio system so it won't work with a pc. Also the outputs are rca preouts so whatever the eq controls has to have rca jack inputs.

Yes, but you still need a headphone amp. Also, you may need an adaptor depending on your headphones.

This is a professional studio / broadcast headset. It is not meant for computers. It needs a good mixer or headphone amp to make it usable. I use a four channel Behringer mixer that runs around $150. I can take that output and drop it down low enough for a PC's audio input to handle. If you just want a headset to connect to a PC, go look at gaming headsets instead. This is much too high end for such use.

Nope, you need a pre' amp interface usb like from m-audio . You will get way better quality. But there are some good usb mic out there on amazon.

You will need an amplifier and an audio box to connect the amp to your PC. These speakers become more expensive than sticker price when amplifier, audio box, and cords are considered. I would NOT purchase these. Spend the extra money now on a pair of good self-powered speakers and an audio box and thats all you'll need. Spend the money on that stuff now or spend MORE money on these speakers as you go.

The bass is good on the 598s. It goes deep and its very controlled, but you really need an amp to get full bass potential. However, it's nowhere near the bass amount or impact on the M50s. No Sennheiser is. Most open headphones aren't either. You'll be disappointed if you're looking for the same amount of bass. If you're looking for an upgrade to the M50, check out the ATH-A900x. I just bought a manufacturer refurbished pair on Amazon for $95. Comparable to Denon D2000 for 1/3 the price. Similar to M50 sound signature. 90% of the bass, better clarity, better soundstage.

You do not need an amp with this device. It sounds great. It has forward and rear firing speakers.

I use Sennheuser HD 598 headphone; my player is an iPod, or my Nexus tablet, running through this amplifier is much better sounding than without an amp, or in comparison to a creative portable amp I tried for a bit.

If I plug this in from my amp to my computer will I have a clean enough signal to use my overdrive? You should be able to play noise (songs etc..) from your computer to your amp. I haven't tried that configuration yet... I have been using my computer as the amp for my guitar/bass..:)

Thanks for the replies. Will keep it in mind when I am ready to buy a headphone amp.

No amp required, but I use it with a small portable headphone DAC/Amp when I connect tony laptop and they sound amazing. I also use with no amp attached to iPhone and the sound is fuller than my Shure IEMs

Hello,Audio2000s 6023vm system requires "Microphone Input" to plug in. Therefore we do not recommend this to be used with PC and using any adapter will cause the sound quality (very low/no sound at all). Hope this helpThank you

ABSOLUTELY. Anytime you get a dedicated card the overall quality will be a TON better. The amount of customization and power that a dedicated card will run to your speakers will be awesome. I'm not sure how it compares to headphones, but I noticed a huge jump in quality and of course the equalizer alone let me tune everything to have very epic bass and no distortion.

I'm not sure what you are using the headphones for, but I use AKG 240 headphones as a radio disc jockey. It is important I hear the audio clean and at times loud. I have never needed another amplifier. They are comfortable to wear but they do have their own "sound" so you may need a day to get used to them. I have yet to run into anyone that doesn't prefer them over the headphones they have.

The only reason you would need an amp is if your original source is limited. Otherwise don't bother. But if you really feel the need here is one source discussion I found. http://www.head-fi.org/t/635772/need-help-should-i-get-a-headphone-amp-with-v-moda-m-100

You don't need an amp with the P7. They are very low impedance @ 22ohms. This means they can be driven very easily. If you look at something like the Sennheiser HD600, those are 300 ohm impedance and will pretty much NEED an amp

No. You need an external tool for that like a karaoke machine or a pc to hook into your amp. (which you also need if you don't have, these are just speakers.)I see these kind of questions a lot, and I'm surprised no one really tries to make more casual audio gear. Seems like there's a market for it and it'd be nice to get some new faces into the discussions other than the crazy audiophiles who want to compare 1100 dollar speakers to 90 dollar ones
