do you really need an amp with these? or will listening from ipod and laptop be fine? if amp is needed any suggestions?

No amp is necessary. Sansa Clip, iPod, Cowon, Samsung, anything will power them just fine.

does anyone have expierience using these cans with a FiiO E6?

I have an E6 on my gym rig (2nd gen Nano with LOD) and have played with it out of my laptop with my ELE Dac. The ELE is a tad bright IMO with these cans (works great with my Senn 580's though). EQ2 in the E6 is pretty sweet with both the S500 and S400.

yeah but I dont feel like doing the o-ring mod

It's completely worth it, trust me. I put the stock pads on, then the rings, and then the HM5 pads. I think with an amp or DAC these things sound even better. I'm running them through the ELE as I type and they sound fantastic.

after another two days of A/B comparing the s500 with the m80 i came to the conclusion, that they technically are on the same level, but the s500 sounds more natural to my ears, are more comfortable and less hollow/boxy. damn, i am really looking forward to one day find an onear, that is better than the s500 and has a single sided detechable cable with iphone remote. btw, i did A/B comparison with the dt1350 a week ago and while the beyer show a bit more detail and is even faster, it looses in pin point imaging and comfort. soit seems, that there is no more competition out there.

LoL have you tried the new ATH ES700, Ds and everyone that have tried them said they are complete upgrades to these S500s. You might want to cheak them out, though there is not detachable cable etc as well, just like these S500s sadly.  :  (

I agree... the M80 and S500 are closer to each other, also depending on what one listens to, one of them will come out on top. but the moment you put on the ES700, you know you have a winner. the mids and clarity are fantastic!
