I'm thinking about buying these...what would be a good amp to drive them?

Nice, and what amp would be good for these?

So I think I'm buyinf the Audio Technica M-50 Headphones and I'm wondering what I should buy for it. I listen to mostly Hip Hop, and House. I saw somewhere that a FiiO E5 would be good? If I spend a little more could I get something better? Also do I need anything else besides an amp? Thanks

Just realised these are the 2005 version so not sure if that's worth it?

Ok so I am thinking about getting the Beyer 990 Pro or Denon AH-D2000, if anyone thinks I can do better for that price range please let me know. If not, then what amp would I need to run these nicely? Do I need anything else besides and amp? Thx

Yeah I mean if I have to drop anothe r$50 or whatever that's fine as long as the extra $50 will get me decently better product.

So I bought the Beats by Dr. Dre Tours from Amazon and was dissapointed even coming from regular iPod earphones and then not even 24 hours later the right earbod has a loose connection and I will need to send it back. Now that I realise that it was a horrible product to buy and found this...

Thanks guys, whatever I buy will not be being used on a portable player like an iPod, I only tried them on it but any phones I buy is for home use only so if I need to amp them that's fine.. I'll research the ones you guys mentioned here at work today, thanks.

Yeah, they sound really nice (to me) when turned up but I don't want to always have it loud so I think I will return them..especially after the in ear Beats by Dre Tours break after a few hours. Doesn't give me much faith in the product.

K, so listening to them first on my iPhone in the car there were other people there so I didn't want to have them all the way up because they leak a lot. It seems at low and mid volume they are not too great. With the volume almost all the way up on my iPhone they sound great now...and on my...

Gonna listen better when I get home..and post again. FWIW, the Beats Tours (in ears) that I got 24 hours ago has loose connection in right ear, Now sound like a blown scratchy speaker... Top quality fosure loll

Thanks for the feedback, keep it coming.. Also, has anyone has experience returning headphones to Amazon that are not broken but just because you didn't like them?

So I stupidly went with the hype and bought these headphones last week from Amazon. I should have done research first but anyway.. I was expecting to be WOW'd when I put them on, especially because I have never owned a good set and all I am used to is my ipod earbuds, or my Sennheiser PC166 USB...
