  • Good Speakers with a Headphone Jack?

    Do they exist anymore? It seems to have become a lost art and my soundcards just don't pack enough punch.

    You want speakers with a headphone jack?

    Or... you want speakers to plug into a jack?

    For the latter, just get a 1/8" stereo to rca adapter and feed your receiver.

      He wants powered speakers with an additional heaphone jack. The sound card amp doesn't have the power to drive his headhpones to the levels he wants.

          Yamaha YST-M100's have a jack. I use them and they sound great - you get a nice clean 'reference monitors' sound quality.

            I've not had any problems driving my HD600's from the SBLive!s line out jack.

            Strangly enough, if I use my Total Airhead with the sound processor on, I get much better sound quality AND decent 3D postioning with the card set to 2 speaker mode. Just using the normal headphone setting sounds just plain terrible IMHO.
