It absolutely should not. Are you experiencing an issue with your laptop where the battery drains quickly?

Since you have an amp already driving heavy cans should not be a problem, so whatever you can find will work. I would suggest the Philips Fidelio X2 if you want lots of bass and also need them for gaming, they can easily accommodate the Vmoda-Boompro Microphone and they have very good sound...

I like your setup and applaud you for not simply jumping on the 7.1 bandwagon! I would recommend reading Zeos' guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/Zeos/comments/66x9c0/guide_headphones_gaming/ His list caters for all tastes and budgets.

Both products I linked have Optical outputs. They will both work. The Micca OriGen+ is a great product and cannot be compared to a USB sound card or creative DAC. It is much better...studio level sound quality. For details go here...

Or he can simply buy the Micca https://www.amazon.com/Micca-OriGen-High-Resolution-Preamplifier/dp/B01BURJVOC for the same price as the creative dacs, much better product.

What you pay is normally what you get... €450 is not much for a laptop, but we should be able to find something. How about something like this: https://www.amazon.de/Lenovo-ideapad-Notebook-i3-6100U-DVD-Brenner/dp/B01MY6EFAN

What will the purpose of this laptop be? School work, work, gaming, movies, etc? Also, with a low budget like yours I would recommend purchasing a used laptop. Is that something you will consider?

Windows includes a very good anti-virus suite for Win10 called Windows Defender Antivirus. You can access it by selecting start and typing "defender". Why do you believe you have an increased risk? I would recommend you keep your PC updated, avoid illegal websites and downloads, and use only...

So, I replied to the guys at htps://www.getbmwparts.com and explained to them what I plan to do. They were very helpful and immediately sent an inquiry through to BMW. This is what I got from them today: Heard back!! “The resonant frequency of this speaker is 95Hz +/- 15%.” Hope that helps!
