I've just been doing straight into my soundcard, since they are already pre-powered.    What can/should I do to make them sound even better than they do now?

Basically coming down to these two.   Do I need an amp for both of these to shine? I don't have one currently.   If there is a better option in the $100-$250 range, I would love to know.   I listen to ska, dnb, dubstep, post rock and ambient mostly.

I have literally been thinking about this all week. It's killing me. I just cannot decide.    I'm going to be using this for both home and portable use. The cans I have :   Headphones :   Grado SR-80 Audio Technia M50S   IEM's -   Klipsch Image S4's Marshmallows (My...

Hello Head-fi'ers!   After taking you guy's awesome advice, I picked up M50's and SR80's. I feel like I should now be upgrading my IEM's to something different. I've had S4's for about 2 years (They got me into high-end audio), and I feel like I should change the sound around once and a...

I've been looking at these 3 pairs for about a week now, and I still haven't decided on what I want. So I thought I should come to the experts.   I'm looking for a headphone with amazing bass, but can also handle the mids and highs well. I've been leaning towards the M50's, as everyone on...

Hey Head Fi, been lurking around here for a while, and I finally get the chance to post. I managed to scrape together $125 for a soundcard, something i've been wanting forever. So, magic head fi people, what should I get.   Bass is a must. (Don't judge. I throw lots of parties, I need the bass.)
