An interesting thread from 2007 was bumped on this very subject.
Short answer seems to be: Stax in 1960 with the SRA-4S, as electrostats require a special amp:
but for dynamic phones, excluding pro gear with headphone outs, probably the Sure Solo-phone.
After that, Grado designed the HP-1 for the HP-1000s just before HeadRoom...

I wrote this up for a thread about Bose and thought it worth saving.
I figured out how many headphone manufacturers get away with selling low-end and lower-quality headphones, especially in the case of Bose and Monster, who do so at higher prices: Most cheap or rubbish headphones are seriously rolled off in the treble and 2-10k region that, if it weren't so, would reveal the shortcomings of the design, as that's where a lot of critical vocals are, and where women especially are most...

I always appreciate good music, more so if it's new music that is currently being produced and released.
Thus, it was a great delight to hear an album entitled "A Strange Arrangement" by Mayer Hawthorne.
If you like "oldies" or motown or soul, you owe it to yourself to check out this album. The music is fantastic, catchy and just great overall.
Check out this video:

I thought the discussion in this thread was worthy of posting, and I know I'll want to recall what I wrote later, so I've included here my and other peoples' answers. My answers aren't quoted.
[A]nything that converts a digital signal to analogue is a DAC. People often refer to a sound card that plugs in via USB instead of inside your computer as an "external sound card". These have connections for mice and instruments and are used for amateur music making. Many companies...

It seems that the eXStata DIY electrostat amp is already exceeding expectations, using only $350 or so of parts, including the case. HeadphoneAddict has provided us with a short review mid-thread thus:
