My first amp experience! Woah :o

So I'm in between IEM's right now, waiting for a replacement and was using
Bose qc 15 and straight from my iPhone 4 they are well..."good" definitely would not buy them for their price but great noise isolation, I was curious
And plugged em into my dads onkyo a huge modern looking silver receiver with "WRAT"- wide range amp technology, and Woooow they sound completely different, you can now feel the bass
Rumbling and music sounds very different soundstage wise! I could listen to them all day! While unamped like 1 hour max cause they just aren't THAT enjoyable.

Will it sound much different with some ultrasone 900 pros ? How much does an amp
Affect the sound? With my iems they sound ...kinda the same! So in guessing
It changes
A
Lot!

Coming from the QC15, you will not be prepared for what the Pro 900s are capable of :P

since BOSE is the 'top of the line' product.

Dude once you get pro900 the phrase "MOAR bass" will never be uttered again. A lot of people say they benefit from amps but honestly I thought they sounded perfectly fine without one.

Well, I have the money for the pro 900s but are they worth 300 bucks? How's the bass
Compare
To the xb500 and what would the 900s be like with the Zo or zo2?
