Do you need a headphone amp or can you just plug headphones into a receiver?

You can just plug your headphones into the headphone jack on a receiver. However, most receivers have OK, but not great, built in headphone amplifiers. If you want your headphones to sound great, a good headphone amp is going to move you in that direction.

You can plug directly into a receiver if you are using headphones like the ATH-M50 with Impedance of 50 ohms or less, anything higher will need a headphone amp and even lower impedance headphones will benefit.

No, and yes. I have used the magni for about 6 months, and the improvement in sound quality( and quantity ) is doubled. Plus you get an astounding toggle switch.

It's just a receiver. Has a mini jack output for your headphones or stereo or car

You'll still need a proper amp. The output from this device isn't enough to power speakers alone.

These do not need a receiver as an amplifier is already built into the speakers themselves, specifically in the box of the subwoofer. Any audio source with a 3.5mm headphone jack output can be plugged in to make these speakers play sounds.

You need a receiver. The subwoofer is passive so it does not require an amp. I returned mine however as the sound was poor

It is powered in that you can use it with headphones without a power amp, but If you want to power speakers you need a power amp with this.

You would first need to look for an amplifier that has a rca input and then buy a 3.5mm to rca cable this will connect your phones headphone jack to the amp or you can use Bluetooth. Look up belkin Bluetooth stereo adapter and it will hook up to the amp as well

You need a photo preamp which some receivers have- once you have the preamp it could plug into a headphone amp that has a volume contr

If your audio has AUX you can use this receiver. It will connect easily with 3.5mm cable.

Yeah, you can, and this might be what you could use...http://www.amazon.com/HDE-Wireless-Headphone-Receiver-Bluetooth/dp/B0067LBWFI You might need a headphone amp also.

doubtful that you'll need an amp unless your receiver is literally a POS. I would suggest you buy a higher grade speaker wire (I have 16 gauge on mine) and that you bi-wire them as well.

What do you mean by receiver? You do have to plug it into the wall and there is an option to plug in your headphones. There are some options in the back that I can check for you if you let me know what kind of receiver you are talking about. :)

I also use the HD600's with my iPod, there is enough signal to power the cans and I have not felt there was anything lacking to justify the need for a headphone amp.

You need to amplify the sound. A pure amp will do. A receiver is an amp with other features, primarily the ability to "receive" a radio signal.

yes, of course, you just need to cables that go from TS to 1/4" headphone jack. The speakers are powered so no amp required.

Hey - this is true. You can get an adapter for less than 1, though. The amp is really made for higher-end studio headphones which usually use jacks, but you can still get the adapter. Be sure to get a stereo one.

No amp needed. Plug right in to iPhone, iPad, or iPod, whatever... These are seriously fine, better than Beats, etc...
