Meomix:
Do they sell a type of computer speakers that accept huge headphone plugs?
This headphone plug isn't imbedded with the small one, i've tried adapters but the static is terrible.

Sosseres:
I used an adapter for medium sized plug to computer sized one. Didn't really get any static from it. Perhaps try a few different adapter/extension cables to find one that is a proper fit?

Already tried those, no luck.

vuzedome:
You need dedicated hardware for that.
Well not entirely true but it's better to have an external headphone amp to power those beasts, the silly 3.5mm and it's internals(standard PC audio) aren't designed for driving the big daddies.

AnimeJanai:
As power goes, the higher ohmage headphones above 70 ohms or so needs more driving voltages from the amp and some do not work well.  But if you have a sound card, it should be enough.  Your other workaround is to connect the audio to your monitor and then plug the headphones into the monitor.  Some monitors have good audio, many do not to the point where you can detect the loss of fidelity because you are using headphones which reveal such losses easily. 

If your headphones have less than 33 ohms or so, then the crackling static may be due to a dirty connection because your headphones are running at a lower voltage due to the lower ohms.   Lower voltage means dirty connections become more critical including the invisible grease film.  Your adapter's inside connectors might be corrupted by greasy film from multiple insertions of dirty connectors.
