Got new headphones

[montypythizzle]

well i got some sonys from teh egg and i plug them in they sound great well w/o any bass
when i turn up the low end on the equalizer it sizzles like..
it is onboard sound but i could get bass fine with old headphones....
these just dont have bass or something...
is it the onboard sound?
i have had these headphones before and they were very capable of bass VERY

but i never tried them on the computer...
is it the onboard sound? yes i have them in the headphone port....

try them in a portable CD player

i tried them in my onkyo and it worked like it should.....
with the included adapter

What's the impedance on the new headphones? My guess is that it's much higher than what you used to have.

i had these w.o mic working or usb

Those are not the same thing at all

im talking the logitechs i had were 3.5mm jack not usb
the sonys i have now are 3.5mm
but that pair of logitechs have same drivers as my 3.5mm pair and maybe you guys could infer on what the impedance is on both

da bump

should i use my AV710?

The AV710 is a good place to start, because integrated sound basically sucks. The reason I'm asking about impedance is because of current and such. If your headphones are high-impedance and your source (right now, in this case, your integrated sound) cannot supply a decent current, then the sound quality will suffer (usually bass goes first).

thinking same thing

av710 has small amplifier on it?

It was able to drive my Sennheiser HD280s that were 64 ohms, but I don't know what the impedences are on the phones you're using.

 

[montypythizzle]

oh mmk i think these are 32ohms eh i think its close enough ok i will see and it will probably sound better than the realtek chip anyways

 

[montypythizzle]

it worked guys sounds millions times better i love the "surround" effect of headphones
