Of course I didn't realize that I need a decent amp to get some juice out of them (I was pretty dissapointed when I first plugged them onto my sound card) so I decided to buy one. So recommend me something good for a decent price! I've heard many good things about behringer microamp HA400, but it somehow seems fishy 'cos it costs just about 20-30 $.

I haven't used it, but head-fi has 84 pages on it. Head-fi has a bunch of great info worth checking out if you are looking for something else.
