Thanks for the replies. I'll give the e10 a miss and decide on the schiit stuff or the little dot. What's the pros and cons of a tube amp compared to a solid state?- deanolyons

£60 budget headphones
Thanks for the suggestion. I've been looking at these for a while but I'm hesitant because I've read good and bad things about them but they would be ideal for my use. Do i need a headphone amp to benefit them with my i9000? And would it be worth it?- deanolyons
