If you get PC headphones, do they plug in at the CD drive bit or does that only hear CDs? Does it actually plug in round the back somewhere?
If I have a PC without speakers, is it possible to buy a headphone and listen straight away or would you have to install any software at all?
Also how much do such things cost?
Cheers!

You can use standard headphones on your computer.
If you want to use them just for listen to cd's you can put them in the front, or if you want all the sound form your comp in them , you put the headphones in the sound card in the back.

Headphone jacks (the plug) come in 2 sizes...3.5 mm and 1/4 inch, which (I think) refers to the diameter of the connector. Computer soundards (and CD-ROM) drives almost always have 3.5 mm sockets.
If you plug the headphones into the CD-ROM you'll hear just the CD that's playing. If you want to hear the full computer sound, plug the headphones into the speaker socket (3.5 mm ) on your soundcard.
Cheap consumer headphones (e.g. the ones you get free with a Discman) are usually 3.5 mm, but you can get 3.5 mm to 1.4 inch converters (and vice versa).
