Thanks Billson. Everyone keeps talking about amps and I was kind of lost.

First of all, I'd like to say I'm not an audiophile at all. I barely even know what an amp does. I got the audio technica ath m50s le and was wondering if there are any tood amps out there for it for under $50, preferrably portable.

Thanks for the response. I actually decided to get the ATH-M50S LE and got them about a month ago and they sound amazing compared to my Skullcandies.

Thanks for all the help guys! Based on your feedback, I'm not going to buy an amp. @obobskivick: I heard that the LEs have better noise isolation, leass leakage, and better mids.
