depends on the power of your phones headphone amplifier, the sensitivity and the impedance of the headphones. the amplifiers provided in phones vary quite highly. some have very strong amplifiers which seem to work with many headphones while others have very weak amplifiers which barely work...

i would likely set the modi up as optical from the tv and usb to the pc. the magni would of course be connected to the modi's output. i dont have the modi but i'm thinking the switch on the back might be to swap sources.

plug the modi into the pc and it will set as the default audio device. sound will come out the modi (well, actually the magni connected to the modi) not the tv. getting sound out of both tv and headphones at the same time is more involved but is possible getting sound out of the tv (from smart...

while not a specific comparision, generally i would consider klipsch a much better brand than bose. klipsch products are generally well built. bose products generally are medium tier quality at best with top tier pricing. bose can sound okay certainly (due to design) but i question the quality...

i know that if you run a computer->tv->receiver via arc you will get 2.0 because the pc recognizes only the tv as a stereo device. it could be that the xbox does as well. more likely however is that the tv may only support 2.0 via arc. on cheaper televisions this is not at all uncommon...

alternatively, you could disable the sub on the 623 and connect an active sub up to the pc itself.

i've heard the m30 and m50 but not the m40. from what i've heard about it they say its more neutral than the others but i cant confirm that from hearing it myself. honestly the best thing to do is to hear headphones in person to see if you like their signature or not. if you want neutral cans i...

the output on souncards or onboard that goes to the front audio jack is generally amplified more than the rear. this might be desirable if connecting an amp up to lower distortion but quite honestly is mostly a moot point given the numbers we are talking about. the m50 is a closed can with...

why do you want 5.1 playing out via speakers at the same time you listen to it with headphones? A) that only makes trouble when recording with mics B) you can not hear the audio well with headphones on C) with open headphones the sound leaking in and mixing might sound odd. akg cans tend...

your choice on which speaker system you want in each room. neither look really suitable for "large" rooms though. again, your choice if you want the x7 in the living room. 50w bookshelves are okay for up to medium sized rooms i would say. the volume knob on the x7 is what you would need to...

agreed, what exactly is the question here? emerson is a low end brand of television. personally i would rate it under brands like vizio but all of them fall into the category of cheap, budget, non-repairable (often due to lack of parts availability) televisions. with that said, often low end...

it is not a matter of "what impedance does it support" as impedance (resistance) of the headphone circuit is not the only important factor. how easy they are to drive (efficiency.. often rated in volume level at a set input wattage value) is also very important. some headphones also have varying...

there are hdmi audio extractors with hdmi (arc) support you could use. perhaps get one with optical output and connect that up to your home theater if it has optical input support. that method should work but might only net you 2.0 sound.

by how you worded things it sounds to me like this is for a school report or similar.. and we do not do your work for you. i will say that for noise suppression the only real choice are hearing protection earmuffs.

first, there will always be more complaints than there are praises on the internet. not many will praise a product that works but many will complain when it doesnt. for that reason its hard to get a good judge on quality of an item by going on bad reviews alone. the next thing to remember that...
