Hi bestdriver70. I don't understand what you mean by "I have a set of headphones...that are usb" and "male and female usb".
 
Anyway, I assume your headphones have a jack or mini jack....
 

 
 
and that goes into the headphone amp and then you get a type B or mini B to type A USB to go to your PC. The Type A is the flat USB, type B is more square and mini B is smaller.

My headphones have type b USB so was wondering if they had anything like that or not or do I have to get new headphones.

I understand now. No I do not think that there is an amp designed to power USB headphones. They are designed to be connected straight into the PC. If you find a headphone amp with USB it is one that also has a DAC into it, so it is PC .> USB > DAC/amp > jack cable to headphones.

Thanks for the info on that I didn't think they had one like that but I wanted to make sure before I bought one. I think I need to get a pair of headphones that I can use on any of the amps.
 
Thanks again for your time.
