Why do monitors in general have bad sound when you plug your earphones in? Is there any way to fix this?
For example, you're playing a game on the PS3. And you want to have heaphones on. But the headphones have a slight buzz to them when connected to the monitor.
My guess is that most people don't bother using them, so companies don't invest in good audio adaptors for headphones. Being a computer or TV monitor.
Do you have any ideas on a solution for that?
The obvious answer is 'use your audio card' but it's not always available. For example on the PS3, or watching a movie on your TV.
 
Solution
It sounds to me like you are running a noisy monitor.
I use the headphone output jack on TVs on a regular basis and the sound is generally crystal clear.
