So I want to get really cheap decent setup. Currently my speakers are Logitech X-2300's, some of the best speakers Logitech has ever manufactured, and they have a volume control that also has a headphone input, typical for any speaker setup. These speakers plug into my onboard 3.5mm jack. Yeah, I know it's really bad to produce with that but it's all I've got. I'm thinking of getting a pair of Audio Technica M20X's, because it would be a really good upgrade from using Sennheiser CX-300 II earbuds primarily for producing. The only problem is, is that I would be plugging those headphones to my Logitech speakers which are connected to the static mess that is the onboard 3.5mm.
Would using a 3.5mm female to USB male adapter be just as good as using an adapter? I'm thinking that it wouldn't, because everyone would be doing that if it was, but I have my suspicions. How would the quality change? Would the static mostly go away to a point where monitoring with the M20X's would be actually doable?
Thanks.
