Am I need an amplifier to connect those headphones to my pc? or can I connect the cable directly to my headphones jack in my pc's motherboard?

I connect them directly and they sound great, loud & clear! Some people on here have mentioned pairing them with a headphone amp, but I don’t find it necessary with my laptop, but remember that will vary from machine to machine depending on several variables. If you do use an amp, do NOT use the [PCV 05] adapter as the mic should still plug directly into the PC to avoid damaging it. You should ONLY run the green/earphone cable through the amp, nothing else.

SuperFlyEDSguyThanks for the info mate. It works great without an amp. It connects directly to my pc's soundcard.

royiy88No problem! 👍 Glad it worked out for you!
I wasn’t too worried since most modern machines will do just fine. It’s not like you have to use & abuse the sound card to process virtual surround sound, like 5.1 or 7.1, because part of the beauty of this is that it’s stereo and open too! (Oh, yeah, sorry, you probably know this part by now!) It’s a totally different sound that most will like, some will hate, but without a doubt these cans will sound very close to how the production team wanted it to sound during mastering! The drivers are even made at Sennheiser’s very modern factory in Tullamore, Ireland 🇮🇪 The very same manufacturing plant responsible for churning out Sennheiser’s veritable 500 & 600-series products! Actually, you’ll find this model has a very nice sound that’s more in line with the higher-end 500-series, e.g. 598 and 599. 👍
BTW, I’m not saying that I don’t like bass, I actually enjoy it a lot in video games or if mastered correctly in music. These cans definitely fall towards the neutral, airy end of things, but throw some THX into the mix and…
WOW! It’s no longer sound, rather it’s a damn experience! 🔊🔊😱
So, now you know my thoughts in some detail. I also own two other Sennheiser headphones, so I’m a bit biased.
Please do LMK what you think now that you’ve had some time to use these a bit.

Would this be a good match (for my hard to drive) HFM HE560 Phones? My magni sound good but seems a bit underpowered. Any help please, Thanks.

Is it best to use the high gain setting with 300 ohm headphones? And what is the cutoff between high and low gain settings and headphone impedence? Maybe a stupid question, but I'm new to this. Thanks.

Are these copies of the Audiotechnicia ATH-M50Xs? The specs are quite similar and the design is definitely inspired by them.

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?
I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.

Looking for a gaming/content audio setup
Hello! I'm looking for recommendations on audio setups. I'd be planning on using it mostly for gaming. Preferably I'd like a pair of large closed back headphones since I have a big head and jaw. I'd also like to hear myself through my mic with mic monitoring. As far as budget goes, I don't really have one. But under 600$ would be nice. I can go higher if needed. The audio setup would be connected to a high performance PC. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

$10 Drop Coupon Email not sent?
Trying to buy some gear off Drop for the first time. I was told I would receive an email with a welcome to drop $10 off promo. I never received that email. Drop was able to send me emails for my login token and email for Password update. But for some reason the $10 off coupon was never sent to me.

New here
Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.
