power to drive pro 750 - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio

hey guys,
would it be possible to drive a pair of pro 750's with a sansa fuze (i don't want a mobile amp!)? Thinking of purchasing a pair, and i just want to know prior to the purchase.
Thanks in advance!

sure anything with high sensativity and low impedance can work for portable players. There is still sound and volume (personal preference thou although i like it out of my iPod), but wont be the best sound that the pro 750 can actually do for that you need amp! Fuller bass is mostly what u get out of and better improvements all round.

I used the Proline 750 out of an iPod and iPhone with pretty good sound quality, given the sources. My Pico / MacBook Pro combo tightened up the bass and general presentation a bit, but I just used the iPod/iPhone combo at work, and it was just fine.

thanks guys, i went for the 750's and I'm not dissapointed (also use them out of my laptop with great success) i am contemplating buying an amp though, when i gather up the $$

cheers

You need the amp! When I first put a Predator between my Cowon and my Pro 750's ... ah, that was the moment I fell for this whole crazy hobby.

I listened to every track, for hours, transfixed.

just got a 3Move and using the USB Dac and just usb power it absolutely drove the Pro 750 nicely i must say way better than Onboard RealTek sound, it felt like its more fuller / warmer sound and more power.
