Audio Technica m-50 sounds about right for what you're looking for.

IMO the HD 25 sound good even unamped. I used to carry around the mini3 and i felt it sounded a bit better but I ended up selling the mini3 anyways. The size of the e6 is just so appealing for its portability. A lot less obtrusive than the mini3 or any other cmoys.   Quote:  

thank you and entered.

would the e6 be a good match with my clip+ and hd25?

AD700s are open, so there will be leakage and you will end up disturbing your roommate. Sony v6 are good closed cans that go for under 50 if you can find them refurbed.

Might want to give the HD25's a try.

Fiio e5. Use the bass boost feature. Small and portable also seems to be what you're looking for.

+1 on the E7/E9. Especially since you'll be going away from home. They sound great on my laptop with the dt880s.

If price isn't a big issue then definitely get the hd25. Also a big plus if you're going portable. I find the hd25 to be a lot of fun and very easy to listen to. The M50 are a little more laid back.   Quote:  

LCD-2 is way out of your range as well and should definitely be taken off your list. You may want to try Beyers, dt770 and 990 are known to have good bass.    

I've tried the the e9 and the mini3 on hd 600s and 650s. The e9 works better but like a poster above mentioned, they are far from portable. To answer the op's question, yes the mini3 will drive the 600s decently but not to it's full potential. Still they sounded pretty good to me. If you MUST...

Amazon currently has the e9 new for $92. Seems like a steal at this price.   http://www.amazon.com/FiiO-Desktop-Headphone-Amplifier-Dock/dp/B004M172FY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1311983887&sr=8-1

Thanks guys, I indeed have the 250 ohm premium version, I confirmed with the seller and he offered me a refund.

Hey guys, I just purchased a pair of used dt 880s 600ohms used on e-bay. However, the box only indicates the headphones are 250 ohms. Is there another way to tell if I've been cheated? thanks

awesome awesome. hope to drop in

Awesome, will try to make it out there.

I would say cmoy or mini3. I've seen amb mini3s go for under 100 occasionally.

Great deal for Aussies! I'll let some of relatives know.

I don't qualify but thanks for the awesome offer. Good luck to all

Looked like a blast. Thanks for the photos.

I have the HD650's and use them strictly with my Xonar St. To me this set up sounds good but I was wondering if it would be a significant improvement if I got an external amp to power the HD 650s. I may be able to get a good deal on the mini^3 amp from an out of state friend.

Niceee, hope they release the price info on these soon.

Posting your e-bay profile can be helpful too i think.
