Thanks! Do you know how good those are? The price is tempting :p
I'm considering the HFI-2400 seeing as it's often compared to the Q701 and cheaper(242US). Any feedback on it?
Thanks

Have no idea on how good there are, so I've been trying to get someone else to buy them and make a review.
Plus they are really the lowest cost AC powered solid state headphone amplifiers I know of.

Thanks Oderi, but I will need some bass for immersive gaming and orchestral music (Timpani etc.).
 
I think I've decided on the DT880 250 or 600 Pro or Premium (either one) what would a good not more than USD250?
 
I've been looking Fiio E9 (possibly with E17 or D3 added on later), TubeMagic A1 or D1, Govibe Peak and Tiny Tube DAC.
 
Main use is classical music on my Ipod Video and secondary is gaming on with my Asus Xonar DG.
 
Thanks :D

My (used) DT880 Pro 250-Ohm arrived yesterday, nice sound.

Thanks but I've lowered my budget now.

I think I'm gonna get the FA-003 but 2 questions:

1. Any better options for classical music and gaming in that price range?

2. For an amp, Fiio E11 or E9? Of course, I may be satisfied without one.

Thanks :D

Ok, I'm considering 3 options now:

1. FA-003(RM649) = USD200
2. K601(EU125) + E9(RM400) = USD285
3. HD580 + Audio-GD Compass 4 years old used(RM1000) = USD317

I'm looking more at no. 2.

Thanks :D

Fischer Audio FA-003 $200
Brainwavz HM5, same headphone at a cheaper price (no Velour ear pads)
Jaycar Pro headphones. appears to be same headphone as the other two and at a way cheaper price. $50 plus shipping.
