The AKG K167s is not a very hard to drive headphones, and since your audio source is iPod Classic, E11 will more suitable for you and the output power of E11 is big enough to drive the AKG K167. 

awesome.  so you would recommend it over all the rest (of the sub $70 options)?
thanks.

oh, SONY new headphone 1R, very hot in China now, and lots of user in China used E11 to drive the HD598, very good combo in SQ too.

Let me begin by saying. My E11 has been abused to a very high point and this thing is still running. If your low on cash and need a handy little amp,then don't search anymore. Buy this now!

anyone compare this to the digizoid zo2?
 
i know it does more of a bass inheancement, but does the e11 basically just raise volume? does it help separate instrumentation?

I can't comment on the digizoid.  The e11 separates and expands the sound.  On the inside of the amp under the battery you can go with low or high output and on the outside of the amp you can use low or high gain.  A bass boost can be set 0-2.  I like to play with the different settings as you can get different colorations on what you listen to.   I primarily use the amp outdoors and it gets exposed to cold and heat and occasionally dirt.  I am able to power the Grado SR80i and B&W P5 without problems and IEM's are likewise easily driven. It makes whatever you listen to sound richer and brings out the instrumentation on mp3's and higher bit rate songs.

Wow, thanks. Great review

Thinking of getting it for my Z2 paired with B2s. Will the difference be anything noteworthy since the Z2 itself has an excellent chip ?

 

[Mheat122134]

Looking to get one...

 

[ClieOS]

Name change as suggested since this seems to be the main discussion thread for E11.

 

[Lifted Andreas]

Loving my E11, will undoubtedly get a bigger battery for it though.

Just a shame that those eBay batteries aren't available anymore.

 

[Minarets]

What extended battery would one suggest?
