Best Solid State Headphone Amp on a budget of around 500?
Nope, this is only for headphone use. There's a version for powered monitors. In this case, you need a unit dedicated to power speakers.- jackwess

Even better than the newest version of it (the 400i) in my opinion. You're good to go. :)- jackwess

anyone try the Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro?
Only with music unfortunately. They were at a friend house and spent some time with the portable rig listening music (setting 3). Overall a good experience. May need to try them for a weekend on games and report back.- jackwess

Best Solid State Headphone Amp on a budget of around 500?
Welcome to head-fi! My personal recommendation: The Soloist SL. Suited for low/high impedance headphones, is able to power your Sennhs and AKg with ease. Does a fine job with some planars as well. If on the US it can be found for $550-600.- jackwess

What's the loudest Bluetooth and wired speaker you can take to the shower?
It's a 5W speaker, unless there's a new 10W version? :D- jackwess

Headphones in the uk about £100 ish
It depends on the headphone sensitivity. The more sensitive the easier to drive. For this model, a few guys recommend some extra power. You mentioned the uses, but not your music genres. Please give us more info.- jackwess

Replacement Sennheiser HD-265 Band?
The only option is to DIY. A member used a HD650 headband and modded it to fit the HD565 which are pretty similar to the 265's. http://www.head-fi.org/t/518202/sennheiser-hd565-appreciation-and-service-thread#post_7364416- jackwess

Looking for a new pair of Headphones
As for the gaming part, they are not as accurate like other headphone models such as the AD900x or HD598 but they are still good. If on FPS you can buy a Mixamp and they improve nicely. Nice recommendation by the guys above.- jackwess

Need help building a PC...?
You can forget about the good mouse and keyboard for now, and spend on the most important components. If in the US tigerdirect has AMD barebone kits that fit the bill.- jackwess

Hello From the West Coast
Hello and welcome. To answer your questions: 1- The STX II will have no problems driving the 250ohm beyers. I'ts a very capable soundcard. 2- I don't see the need for a separate headphone amp, unless you decide to buy hard to drive headphones. It will not affect the sound in any way...- jackwess

m50x's for gaming?
If you need accuracy they are not recommended. For non-Fps (racing games, etc) they are good :)- jackwess
