E17 / E11 don't have enough power? I thought they were overkill for the 900's

Yea, read that wrong!
The PRO900s are a popular bass head choice as you seem to have decided on a headphone, thinking of your needs is next.
STX or E17 or any other choice you make. The STX is more static, the FiiO is more dynamic in terms of moving it and everything and uses. I'm not sure where I read it, but the STX should be superior to the E17. I can't get quoted proof this time.
Yea thanks alot bowei. That's my debate at the moment, STX or E17.

I think E17 is a better choice simply because it works with everything, without having to worry about impendence.
The cmoybb can be purchased through jds labs on ebay (its what I did about a year ago): http://www.ebay.com/itm/JDS-Labs-Inc-cMoyBB-v2-03-Altoid-Tin-Portable-Headphone-Amplifier-Amp-/360472296313?pt=US_Headphones&hash=item53edd2bb79
you should ask them to tune it for your headphone when you place your order.
I really couldn't recommend the pro 900s enough. They really sound fantastic. I would just be sure that you allow them enough time to burn in. I am just reaching the 250 hour mark and I have been noticing amazing changes to something I already really enjoyed. Soundstage seems more refined, the mids have come forward, the bass has become so much more defined and controlled, and the treble is nowhere near as harsh or silibant. and they are SO freaking detailed, I'm hearing things I've never been aware of before in music I've been listening to for years. Also, if you do end up getting them, be careful about positioning them, because it takes a lot of experimentation to find where they sound best. As far as comfort goes, I really have no issues with mine what so ever. Granted I upgraded from hfi780s, which I find to be pretty uncomfortable, but I still think these are pretty damn comfortable, and much better than they've been given credit for. They're pretty big, but in a good way because they really surround your ears. Also, even though they are plastic, it's some really high quality plastic. It's hard to describe, but they just feel so sturdy and not cheap at all. I am so pleased with these things, they are 100% worth the investment.
