Hey guys, so i am looking for a cheap portable amplifier for my Sennheiser HD 439's. I plugged them into my amp the other day and it really gave them that "boom" that i dont have when i just plug it into my ipod, so i want one for on the go. Any suggestions?

I have seen this,

i would be grateful for your opinions

Thanks

You'll probably want one with a bass boost then so E11K is where to put your research.

Apparently it's a pretty good amp.

There's another you can research called C&C BH.

Maybe you want to check out the new Brainwavz amp then, AP001. It's currently on pre-sale at MP4Nation for about $29.

I'll link you the thread.
