I have the Audio Technica ATH-M50s and I'm using the Galaxy Nexus as a portable device player.   Will I be able to power these headphones with this cellphone or will I need an amp?   If the Nexus isn't a good music player, what else do you guys suggest that could play FLAC files?

Hi I am not and audiophile or anything, and I was looking to buy a decent pair of headphones.   I was wondering which one would suite me better:   Sennheiser HD558   VS.   Shure SRH840   I listen to a lot of hiphop, r&b, classical, rock.   And would I need a DAC or amp to...
