Volume too low; anyone suggest some headphones?

[meady100]

When I use VOIP on my computer, the volume level through my old headphones is pitiful, I can hardly hear anyone even when the computer is turned up full. I tried another pair I had lying around and it's exactly the same. Anyone think of a solution? I guess it's a case of the signal out being too weak. Is it even possible to get some cans with a built in amp or anything? Thanks anyone who knows!!

It definitely won't be the headphones. You either need to look at your audio/driver settings, or use a headphone amp, which shouldn't be necessary at all really.

yeaaaah spend loads of money on a headphone amp! hahaha nah as said before it's a prob on your pc. Headphone amp would be a bit overkill but would technically do the job

Yeah, I mean these headphones I have are fine for everything else. If I put the computer through a stereo and ramp the volume up to frankly ridiculous levels everything is fine, so basically I wondered if I could find a pair of headphones that would go up to 11 to save replacing this sh*te motherboard. Thanks for the reply btw...
