How much watts? :O

[muaazhabib22]

What is the normal power usage of headphones like these 2 jacks which comes with headphones for Mic and for speakers i mean headphones.

So if i insert it in my PC how much power it takes from PC power supply?

Please do not reply like why you are going in so much detail and all it's not a big thing and all. Just answer if you know the answer thats it please thanks.

Also, i hope i posted at correct section. I thought this is the fine category/area to post. If i didin't posted at correct place. I am sorry.

It obviously isn't always the same. But the answer is in milliwatts. Quick estimate is about 10 mW

10mW for cheap headphones, but it could be 100 times as much at 1000mW for something like the Sony 7506. HyperX Cloud Stinger Gaming headset handles 500mW peak power. Or are you asking about the mobo headphone output power capability?

What headphones, and what motherboard?

most gamers now use sound cards that have headphone amps built into them to power the newer headsets.

On my this 320 Power watts power supply, i am running rx 550 2gb gigabye graphic card... Which some people say use 400 watts some say 350 and some say 320 is ok.

SO i am kinda scared..

Now i use amplifer with two wooden big speakers on the same time. I don't disconnect them i mean. But since in games people want to talk so at the front of PC i mean talking about PC front i insert that headphone both pins in that jacks.. So i was kinda scared i hope that i am not putting much pressure on PC and power supply guys... Is that is ok?

I guess it's this Headphones which i use. hyglobal a-869

and my board is i think hp 3047h still sending screenshots here it is:

Please read my this post and answer guys. After understanding my situation.Also, (Sorry for my bad english but i hope you still get it what i want to say).

Ah, now I understand. I don’t think the headphones will use any more power than the Stinger I mentioned earlier. The amplifier you have plugged into your computer draws a very small amount of power from the computer, much less than the headphones. If you are worried about power consumption due to your connected audio devices, don’t worry. They’re probably less than 0.33% of the total power consumption of your whole computer.

Thanks for commenting again brother. So you mean i can use that Amplifiers + Speakers. And on the same time headphones whenever i want without any problem there will no power problem or something?

 

[mortemas]

Correct. The amplifier takes a very, very small amount of power from the computer, but it makes its own power for the speakers using its own power supply. Your CPU and GPU are the largest consumers of power in your computer. Looking again at your PSU, I would say you do have to worry a little bit because AMD recommends a 400w PSU for use with the rx 550. See Requirements here: https://www.amd.com/en/products/graphics/radeon-rx-550

Anything that plugs into a computer socket to do with audio will not draw more than 1 watt.
For people who don't understand milliwatts or 0.33% of whatever...

Generally, class a set of headphones or speakers plugged into a 3.5mm Socket as 1 watt - and you are more than covered by it.

As for your PSU being 320W - A PSU shouldn't imo be run over 70% so that means 224Watts
the GPU you listed is MAX 50w
So this leaves 174 watts for your computer, since we don't know what your computer is, I can't give you an answer about if the PSU is good enough.

I hope it will tell which computer i have. I got 8gb ddr3 ram.

about psu it's default HP ones. i wanted to upgrade but some people said it can't be as their jack is different something like that and in these hp system you can't really upgrade and all. Otherwise i was planning to buy some corsair's power supply atleast as far i remember 450 watts. But now people told me that 320 watts are enough as for rx 550 some websites wrote 350 watts are enough and from that shop where i purchased that card he said this card will run dont worry and one guy said 320 watts of HP is like 350w its strong ones..

Read my this comment brother. I hope you will understand what i am trying to say.

Personally I think you are safe.
According to Anandtech https://www.anandtech.com/show/4310/amd-phenom-ii-x4-980-black-edition-review/8
165W under 100% load - which is not always normal - but we can now add
165+50 = 215 W plus HDD/Fans = 30Watts more - You just in the safe limit I would say

The 70% safety is actually a standard that is used, so constant draw at 250 - you will be fine - and the chances of you using more than this, is rare.

Ye that's nice. Thanks alot brother. But which PC you checked lol mine is AMD Phenom II X4 B95 i think xD

 

[mortemas]

Ok, I see now. I think ElectrO just used the Phenom II x4 980 as an example because someone wrote a complete review of it. It is a 125w processor and yours is a 95 watt processor, so your psu seems ok. I am very conservative based on past experience. I used a 500w psu with a gtx 970 that recommended 550w and eventually my psu failed. AMD and NVIDIA will always recommend a higher wattage for safety because they don’t know exactly what your computer needs, but since you mentioned more details ElectrO made a better calculation.
