    How do you know when you need an amp?

    I'm using the DT770 pros 250ohms version plugged directly to my PC and I'm able to get more than enough volume for listening but a lot of people say the DT770 pros really need an amp to work.

    Headphones that will cover everything that the HD 598 is weak in <$200

    I really like my HD 598, but it's falls short to certain genre of music like D&B, dubstep, rock, and pop. I'm looking for a pair of headphones that don't cost too much (less than $200), that can cover all these genres. I'm thinking of getting the HFI-780, but are there any other headphones that...

    What is the best portable amp for use with my ipod classic 160GB 7th gen and my computer on a $100 budget?

    I will be using it with a pair of Ultrasone Pro 550's. I listen to EDM so it will need to sound good for that type of music. Also I use Windows 8 on my computer so it needs to be compatible with that. Thank you!
