This is a review of a pair of free IEM's I recieved from DUNU as part of a give away contest they recently held here on Head-fi. When I recieved my package the first thing I notices was...

Best closed headphones I had heard - very flat response, almost no midrange distortion, very easy to drive (good for portable), good soundstage (definately better than K240), good isolation, but...

Overall excellent buds, very good sound quality, especially for their price, the medium set of tips fits exactly in my ears and provides a near perfect seal. Bass is very detailed, but not...

I'll keep this very short. They are very smooth sounding. Treble toned down so not so good for rock but have a magic about them that makes them better than mark 2. I use them with a '89/'90...

Not with those cans, especially if you're satisfied.
However, if you want an amp for future use with better phones, build/buy NwAvGuy's O2.
I haven't heard it myself, but it's supposed to be able to drive damn-near any headphone.
Including difficult ones like the Sennheiser HD650's.
All while being one of the most neutral amps out there. On top of all of this, it's only $100 to build one.
