Listen to The Hunt by Grizzly Bear right now on your DT880's!! NOW! The voice... Oh god, its gorgeous.
Hey guys, I'm thinking about getting these bad boys (Beyerdynamic DT880 600 Ohms), how could I tell if my laptop can power these? I have a feeling...
I don't think your laptop can..
How much power would they need?I have a 12.5V output w/mine.

Do you mean your laptop has 12.5 V maximum RMS audio output ?A tenth of that is more realistic with the usual Realtek codecs. Does it include a speaker amplifier (edit: some codecs, like the ALC269, actually do, but the speaker output is normally used to drive the built-in speakers of the laptop, and it still cannot output 12.5 V, not even peak to peak) ?
