X-Fi xtreme gamer drive ATH-A500

[Yog70]

I was careful to order headphones that were easy to drive, but on looking at Creative's website it talks about the headphone jack being line-out. Is that the case? Should I have purchased a platinum version? Does anyone use the X-Fi Extreme Gamer edition with a comparable set of cans?

Thank you!

Just to add to this: the manual said:

Stereo headphone (32-ohm load) support on Line Out 1 jack

I'm not headphone expert, but the A500 says it is 65-ohms. I think I'm in trouble.

You are fine. 32 Ohms referred to the lowest recommended impedance.

Cool; thank you. I'm going to "try" to educate myself on the subject tonight.
