Small, cheap, active speakers to use with a PC
If noise is an issue, why don't you get a pair of cheap IEMs or regular earbuds for that matter and split them from the output of the laptop. WAAAAAAAY more fidelity and bass output you can get from a speaker that's 40 euros. -

<$100 non-portable amp for dt770 pro80
The Little Dot mark II is a headphone amp, you would plug it in from the line-out of your sound card. Get a 1/8 to RCA cable, available at most electronics stores. Note that garbage in, garbage out. You did not mention your existing soundcard. If you have a crappy one, you may be better off...- orthikon
