I need a set of headphones for use strictly with my desktop PC --- for listening to music, and also for watching movies on blu-ray. My budget is on the low end of $250. After much research, I think the Beyerdynamic DT880 may be the best choice at that price range.
Unfortunately, I have no dedicated amp. I would have to plug the headphones through my cheap Onkyo HTiB AV Receiver (HT-R557). I have looked at the specifications for the receiver, and can't figure out which version of DT880 would be appropriate for it (32 or 250 or 600 ohm)... or if the DT880 is even appropriate at all.
Perhaps I'll be better off just going amp-less with a Sennheiser HD598? Or something else? Sorry for such noobish questions. But after 2 sleepless nights on Google, my head is spinning from information overload.
