Headphones

[harrystainer]

I currently have the ESI Juli@ connected inside my computer. It doesn't have a headphone output connector and basically, my question is this - what can I do to be able to use headphones? I would simply like to be able to mix at night and not use my monitors which would annoy my neighbours.

I don't use a mixer and the soundcard output goes directly to my monitors.

It has 2 line ins and 2 line outs, MIDI I/O, S/PDIF I/O.

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks.

better to buy a small mixer. its realy not recomended to control your monitor volume by digital means,lowering it digitaly means losing resolution plus,with a mixer you will be able to connect your headphones.

if you are going to get headphones, go with the sony 7506's. Flat, responsive, and great if you plan on mixing in headphones.

Yeah....either a mixer or one of these devices like Mackie Big Knob, or Presonus central station.

Like Merlot said, the sony 7506's are great!
That's what I use and I really love them.

hey guys, I use Sony mdr-7506 too. Very good, really recomend it.

Seems like the Sony 7506's are coming highly recommended. They are quite expensive from UK stores (?149.99) but I suppose it might be an idea to invest in a decent pair. I've always thought don't buy second best you might aswell get the best you can. Will look into buying some soon.

Cheers guys
