$1500 does NOT buy you a $1 headphone jack on this machine. Has anyone done the modification to add one?

No because I don't use the TV or audio etc at all as its hugely more interesting and educational to watch youtube videos on a projection screen in front of me while using bluetooth or RF headphones .

I have not been able to connect up my case's audio ports. I suppose there must be a way to do it, but I am not savvy enough to do it. I do find this to be a problem. The rear input ports can be extended with short cables to the front, but not the headphone jack. The card's headphone jack mutes the speakers when a plug is inserted into it, just as one would expect. It is a minor but very annoying problem.

I also think it is over priced but here are some reasons it pry costs so much.1) Includes an HDMI cable2) Integrated HD radio antenna (usually uses the headphones as the antenna)3) Optical audio out.Here is the address to a video where you can see all this information. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zm7yJSXthz0

There is no headphone jack that comes with the unit. You can buy a rca to 3.5 mm adapter from Amazon and plug it in to the output rca jacks. That is how I got mine to work. But even with low impedance headphones the volume is not all that loud. You would be better off with a headphone amp.2 x RCA Male, 1 x 3.5mm Stereo Female, Y-Cable 6-Inch

Nope, I added extra speakers via the headphones out port. That did help add a little low end. But I'd still caution against buying this unit for vinyl records.

One of the commenters on a review indicated that you can attach a $5 RCA mini jack to the headphone out to do that! It's not the usual RCA out, but the commenter said it works wonderfully. It was also what Samsung recommended to the owner.

I had a similar problem and my warranty had also expired. What I did was purchase a set of USB headphones which got round the need for the headphone jack.

Well, once you install sound card. Default factory broken front headphone jack will be disabled. Use the install Cd & the creative sound manager will give you the options of. Stereo, 5.1, 7.1, etc.

OK, I see you've already received two comments, which contradict each other. The second responder is correct, there is not a headphone jack. So, you may not be interested in this machine anyway, but trust me, this is AWESOME. My husband and I play videos on it also (portability is key... nuff said) and the picture is crisp, sound is great. We had an older model and the newer innovations are a plus. You can pretty much disregard Karrol, because he/she must be talking about something else. Besides, when has there been any difficulty returning anything to Amazon - they are the greatest, most accommodating company regarding returns ever.

I don't believe that is an option on this unit, without having a designated port for headphones I don't believe it's possible.

I haven't had any problems, and if I did, I'd prob mod the headphones to add a 1/8 jack and then just buy ankther cord.

I'll clear it up for you. There is NOT a headphone jack. I got it because I'm visually impaired and it has raised buttons I can feel. Most today are smooth or flush buttons. i hope this helped.

If possible, would you compare it to the standard headphones in the package, because using a headphone like the big one and/or that cost $299 is obviously going to make a difference and make it quite nicer.

I actually just cut it with scissors. It doesn't look too bad but that was the only method I could think of so I could connect other headphones. I hope that helps.

You have to modify the rubber protecting the headphone port. If not the headphone wire will never be able to fit in the hole.

There is although assuming you have headphones with a standard 3.5mm (1/4") jack, you will need to buy a 1/4" -&gt; 1/8" adapter

yes you can - took me some tweaking with the audio settings to get the headphones to work properly though
