Hey everyone.

I am new to this forum and new to headphones, amps etc.

I am saving up for the Sennheiser HD800 and would like to know what amps (including portable) , cables and whatever else I need to get the most out of the headphones.

 

I mainly listen to Eminem, and a little Prodigy, I also like good bass :)

I would like to know what I need for when I am out and about, and also what I need when I am just at home.

 

Any help will be highly appreciated.

 

Thankyou

 

Regards Jason

Welcome to head-fi Jason, 

 

Its not a good idea to use the HD800's as portables, as they are big and + you need a really good source to drive them properly. I also see that you like good bass. Probably they are not for you IMO as they are on the light side of it.

You could get better genre synergy for cheaper (and with more portability) for tastes like that.
