the 2i2 has a stereo 1/4 inch headphone output, so a 3.5mm to 1/4 inch converter should do what you need, here's one I found on Amazon.
You need a mixer to connect your gear to, and then you just connect speakers or headphones to the mixer. I have this mixer for my Volcas and small gear: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000KGYAYQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1408515182&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40
To get a stereo sound from it you need this $3 adapter as well http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003DBTAZ4/ref=pd_aw_sims_2?pi=SL500_SS115&simLd=1
You will then also need at least three 3.5mm stereo male to 3.5mm stereo male cables, as well as 3-5 of this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000068O3T/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1408515974&sr=8-3&pi=SY200_QL40
Oh, the jack on the left is just a 1/4" inch jack. You have a 1/8" plug (also called 3.5mm) on your headphones. You just need an adapter like the example linked below, but you may have one laying around they often come with many headphones.

theyre for the RCA to mono TS bandits, you want one of these for your little friends.
You could try connecting both amps to a female to 2 male stereo y cable, then connecting that to a male to 2 female stereo y cable, then connecting headphones into the 2 available female jacks.
If your amp only has a 1/4" output jack then you can get 2 3.5mm to 1.4" adapters as well.
I use a 2 male to 1 female y splitter so I can connect to my amp and my computer at the same time so I can play along to songs off my computer and it works flawlessly.
Here is an adaptor. I'm not a PC gamer so I don't know how long the cable is, but I would say to have at least 4-5 feet of headphone cord available. This is because most keyboards have the headphone jack on the backside and a regular cable can be very annoying.

^That's ^why ^I'm ^here, ^I ^don't ^judge ^you. ^PM ^/u/xl0 ^if ^I'm ^causing ^any ^trouble. ^WUT?
You can get one of these for each and it will solve the problem.
The reason it is 1/4" TRS most of the time is because most studio headphones, where you need headphone amps the most, have a 1/4" end.

I've got two MA-30s lying around because one was my wife's before we were married. We've been married 7 years. Though they've seen less use in recent years, they have definitely been through the long haul. I know that I've shattered mine against the wall at least a few times in that period out of utter frustration (unhappy things happen in practice rooms sometimes). I just located the batteries and snapped it back together it and it's still ticking all these years later.
Yeah, you can run it through the keyboard. You'll need a 1/8" cable and a 1/8" to 1/4" adaptor (I think one came with my Privia and I have several lying around so you might too). Just connect one end of the 1/8" cable to your metronome and the other one (via adaptor) to the line in on your keyboard.
And for the record, I'm not necessarily recommending any of those particular bits. I just thought I'd throw links up to clarify the equipment needed. Those prices are bad, but you can almost always do better at http://www.monoprice.com/ for ANY sort of cables you need. ... Seriously, if you ever need an HDMI cable, get it on Monoprice.
Depending on your playback device you may need adapters for the outputs on the back.
If your speakers have a (2x) cinch input, you need adapters like these. If they have a 3.5mm TRS plug, you'll need something like this.
If you have headphones that have a 3.5mm plug instead of 6.35mm, you'll need an adapter like this one.
You'll also need an XLR cable to connect your mic and possibly a pop filter for recording vocals. The AT2020 is often sold as a bundle with both.
Here is also a bundle with a boom arm (of questionable quality).

When you speak into the mic it creates an analog waveform that is sent via the XLR cable into the interface. The interface provides a proper input to receive the signal. It uses a built in preamp (controlled by the gain knob) to boost / cut the signal. Then it converts it to a digital signal and sends it via USB to the computer.
Inside the computer you can do lots of things to the signal. You can send it to a standalone modeling app. You can send it to a DAW and record it. You can process it with VST plugins. Lots of things.
From here each program can do its own thing in terms of output. I don't know how the POD Farm standalone works, but I know that a DAW will require you to specify a driver and a device. That's the preferences ASIO UX2 thing you're talking about. This means that Reason is receiving input AND sending output through this device. So if your headphones and speakers are connected to your PC and not the UX2 then they won't do anything. The PC is its own separate soundcard with its own set of drivers (Realtek HD).
Sounds like POD Farm is sending it out from your Realtek soundcard. But in my experience DAWs want uniformity of one device for input and output.
I'm guessing your speakers and headphones have a 3.5mm cable. Your UX2 is 1/4". You can get an adaptor like this and simply run them through the UX2. Then set the UX2 as your soundcard across everything - your DAW, the standalone app, and the Windows sound setting.
EMI? Sorry, but I'm not sure what that stands for . . .
Yes, I think it probably is due time I get myself a good external DAC, though I really wish I could get this Xonar U3 to work properly for the time being as I'm rather broke at the moment and would rather not spend money on non-necessities. For a while now I've had the Scarlett 2i2 interface on my 'To Buy' list. If I had that I'd upgrade my mic to something better than the ModMic, but there would still be instances where I'd use the ModMic. I imagine this adapter is what I'd need to hook up the ModMic to one of the Scarlett's two front panel microphone inputs, eh?
Well, that's your problem. When the interface is plugged in, your output is on the interface. That's what you want.
If you need something cheap, grab a pair of these: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR-ZX100-Headphones-Headphone-HeroFiber%C2%AE/dp/B00D25ERQ8
And one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Hosa-GPM-103-3-5mm-TRS-Adaptor/dp/B000068O3T/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1427436625&sr=8-1&keywords=3.5mm+to+1%2F4
sorry wrong way around. this: http://www.amazon.com/Hosa-GPM-103-3-5mm-TRS-Adaptor/dp/B000068O3T/ref=pd_bxgy_267_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=00DYCC5VH9CBT1G2SWH2
I believe it's "OMTP" not "OTMP"
For those confused, here is a diagram showing what a TRRS plug looks like. It stands for Tip Ring Ring Sleeve, and allows for both stereo audio and a mic to be on a single plug. Your phones probably have one installed. The problem is that most TRRS applications are CTIA, not OMTP. Therefore most splitters won't split the audio right. That's because the ground on OMTP is in the Sleeve, not one of the rings.
An adapter will allow you to switch from CTIA to OMTP and from OMTP to CTIA. You can get them for a few bucks on Amazon as well. Then you just need a TRRS to dual TRS splitter and some 1/8 TRS to 1/4 TRS adapters.
Better yet if you could find a 1/8 TRRS to dual 1/4 TRS splitter, but I couldn't find one :/
Alright. So would this work?
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but it sounds like you need one of these adapters and one of these cables
Go to like any electronics store and pick up one of these:
https://www.amazon.ca/Hosa-GPM-103-3-5mm-TRS-Adaptor/dp/B000068O3T/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1482439607&sr=8-4&keywords=3.5+to+quarter+inch
I have this one, it hasn't given me any problems
http://www.amazon.com/Hosa-GPM-103-3-5mm-TRS-Adaptor/dp/B000068O3T
you can use it with the interface and put it in the mic port
So would this be a good deal to do? Everything will work ok?
http://www.amazon.com/Hosa-GPM-103-3-5mm-TRS-Adaptor/dp/B000068O3T/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1418849814&sr=8-4&keywords=1%2F8+to
Can I guarantee it will work? No.
Should it work? Absolutely.
If you really want to go Audiophile, i would suggest you this sweet little interface:
http://www.amazon.com/Focusrite-2i2-USB-Recording-Interface/dp/B005OZE9SA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417115084&sr=8-1&keywords=audio+interface
In order to use it with your headphone, and this is the tricky and important part, you would also need these cables/adapters:
http://www.amazon.com/Estone-3-5mm-Female-Splitter-Extension/dp/B00IWNIZFE/ref=pd_sim_e_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=1CA9BXT0GC3DRACNXPE7
http://www.amazon.com/Hosa-GPM-103-3-5mm-TRS-Adaptor/dp/B000068O3T/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1417116358&sr=8-2&keywords=trs+3.5+to
With this setup you would gain the best possible sound quality (In AND Out) possible with your headset and it should also boost the level of your mic, so no longer software mic boosts which sound terrible. You could also upgrade later to better microphones, or plug in an instrument. Also you can attach Speakers and switch between them and the Headphone outlet, and the 2 even got different Volume settings! It has a really really really low latency (around 2-4ms) and can output at studio quality (96khZ, 24 bit) And before plugin in your mic be sure to turn off phantom voltage, otherwise you will grill your mic!
No one's mentioned the bias power required by the electret mic element. These types of mics require +3 to 9 VDC to power the FET inside the mic. This voltage is usually supplied by the computer's Mic Input jack. (also supplied by phone's headphone jack on a TRRS connection). The headphone jack can just be adapter to 1/4 inch and use the headphone output of the mixer (https://www.amazon.com/Hosa-GPM-103-3-5-inch-Adaptor/dp/B000068O3T/ref=sr_1_6?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1475092197&sr=1-6&keywords=1%2F8+to+1%2F4)
A direct connection (passive) XLR adapter will not work, and if you turn on Phantom Power from the mixer you may damage the mic.
The Rode VXLR has a battery in it, so the passive adapter still works. You need something like this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Phantom-Power-Adapter-for-Sennheiser-3-5mm-Jack-Lapel-Lavalier-Microphones-/291526821026?hash=item43e05a44a2:g:ZyoAAOSwDNdVuW99
It takes 48V Phantom power from the Focusrite (or whichever mixer you use) and adapts it to the 3VDC you need to run the mic. Plus is does the connector change too. Now this one is a Chinese knock off, and sold to work with Sennheiser mics which come with 1/8 connectors, so no guarantee.
Also, I don't have a recommendation for anything cheeper than the Focusrite, but they make 'em. It really depends how many setups like this you'll be running at one time. If its just one, and you don't really care about high end voice quality, then there's ones like this: https://www.amazon.com/Behringer-Q502USB-BEHRINGER-XENYX/dp/B00CTKI10A/ref=pd_lpo_267_lp_img_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=SCHZQ7YJFT6Z4EQKCVKA
Just get an electric and a little mic-pre. If you need to hear yourself better, run the guitar into the mic-pre(tube preferably) and then you can plug in headphones, speakers, powered speakers (like computer speakers), or even an amp (a tube pre will really warm up a shitty SS amp), and more importantly a computer or 4-track (or whatever recording interface you're using). In my book they're a must have, obviously if you ever start recording you'll want one anyway, but keep in mind recording yourself is an easy alternative to jamming with someone and a really great way to practice and write.
I'd recommend this:
be careful though this one doesn't have a power supply, so you'll have to go to goodwill and dig around through their chords and stuff, but that model was a really good one and thats a steal.
here's another steal
If you get one of these you'll need a TRS to Headphone adapter to get your headphones hooked up to it, and to hook it to a computer, but at any rate having this kind of adapter is also a must have if you're starting to fool around with music.
So, basically spend most of your budget on a good guitar first and foremost, don't buy a "beginner" guitar, take a friend that knows about guitars to help you or do some research, but always buy used. you won't really even need an amp to start practicing, but go ahead and look for a good, but inexpensive mic-pre like i've shown, so you can hear yourself better.
Keep in mind that if you get the right guitar and take care of it, it will hold its value, and you'll be able to trade up later (maybe even get more than you paid).
Then save your money and when you're ready to get loud get a good amp, then get an accoustic.
Here you go: Rolls RA102 10-Channel Expandable Headphone Amplifier https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0026K0836/
Takes 1 analog input, outputs to 10 headphones. You may need to adapt from the 1/4" jacks to 3.5mm depending on your headphones. Hosa GPM-103 3.5 mm TRS to 1/4 inch TRS Adaptor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000068O3T/
Don't use passive (non-powered) headphone splitters. With 10 phones connected the signal will degrade/may not even power the phones.
USB headphones will not work for your purpose because each one is seen as a unique device. Windows will only output to one device at a time.
No stupid questions. You have to think of the synth like a stage instrument (because thats what it's designed for). It was made as a performance instrument, and they usually use the 1/4 jacks. There are two ways to go about this:
OR
If I was in your shoes I'd buy the cheap adapter, get my feet wet, then invest in a basic mixing/monitoring system as you get more experience. Good headphones, and good monitors go a long way though.
Edit:I was confused. It has a headphone jack, just not a 1/8" one.
