Personally, I'd recommend these. Incredible bang for your buck. http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=300-...

You'll need an amp. http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=300-...

To run from the headphone port you'd just use a simple male 3.5mm male to RCA(red/white) male.

I imagine the headphone port quality is terrible and the post mentions it. Apparently this is a cheap USB compatible option http://www.meritline.com/usb-sound-adapter-channel-volume-co...

This entire setup should run you well under $100 and sound great.

The article is empty link bait, using 'Mumford and Sons' to get views.

While I am also not a fan of the band, this 'article' doesn't suddenly make them Lars. The 'warning' seems generic speak slapped on things. A Google search shows Velvet Underground records from the 80's with this warning.

Also, a lot of people think The Avett Brothers are considered a 'poor version' of folk music(easy listening, pop) in the same bucket as Mumford & Sons. Regardless of versions and quality, both are nice to listen to on summer days with friends(who often don't care much about music), regardless of who's imitating who.
