I believe buying a special headphone amp is pretty stupid in 99% of cases. The 1% where it's not is because your headphones were so stupidly designed they hiss with all but the kindest of amps. Investing in a special DAC is also pretty retarded. Take that, audiophools! | ||

 . Thinking of an Audio Technica ATH A900 right now, though I'm still looking and haven't made my final decision. | ||

Anyone got recommendations for budget [~$50 at most] headphones for on the go that would work well in a computer? You should consider the Sen HD428: http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD428-Closed-Circumaural-Headphone/dp/B002DGTGNG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1289615013&sr=8-1 | ||

Because of the one year warranty, I'll only have to buy a pair once a year though. I also have the Audio-Technica ATH FC700A. Maybe someday I'll get more expensive headphones. Already liking the sound on the ATH FC700A more than RE0. | ||

Sounds great, very dry/honest, and the price is right. Not too comfortable for long (>1hour) stretches though, and they are open which has some disadvantages. ![[image loading]](http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/public/dT71xGJ94pNzSL70e691mC9CvoEGNYKZ40dSw3L5F72gzMG4BiXjn-2lxkcujg9MaKHkOPGy2iCpjC4_dsY-CwNeVg16nsx-l3l1vsXdhbn8qz2RGobzV6RwaMWNa4uU-LeI2B3PVDkDAZJqVcAgKnQ-3KsfKk_2kLAKdsLz_nEHNA0HOjIXrNHJ4jAGCGiALiGV) | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.appliancebestbuys.com/ProductImages/denon/AHD-1001K.jpeg) Worse sound than my old Grado SR-60s but amazing closed design: the seal really blocks out noise / keeps LOUD heaphone volume within. | ||

So you buy headphones worth of hundreds of dollars but don't bother hooking them up to suitable equipment? | ||

High sensitivity is usually the main cause of hiss and it can be fixed with like a $5~10 impedance adaptor. No need for an amp. Amps are nice for line-out signals, high-ohm headphones, etc lots of good uses!~ | ||
