| Re: is 400 ohms headphones too much for pc ?
It's not if you've got a decent aftermarket card in your PC, and you've also got an amp, and you have neither.
400ohms 770's? they come in 80 and 250 ohms.
The 250 needs an amp, a good desktop one, with power. The 80 should still really have an amp to get the best from it, and no, a PC soundcard and... bleeuchh, a PS3 are not good sources to do any justice to this sort of headphone.
SQ is only as good as your worst component - good phones don't do it all by themselves.
I would look at easier to drive phones, sub 100ohm generally don't need amping. For your uses, 100 quid or so Grado's and Senn's are worth checking out
