I used to post here quite often a few years ago. Phones started to suck up too much of my money, so I stopped using the forums and my wallet was made slave to photography. Recently, one of my friends was interested in getting a portable amp and a pair of good sealed phones. I've been out of the loop for so long, I dont know what to reccomend anymore, anyone care to help? Thanks in advance!

I think a good combination could be the Sony MDR-C3000s paired with a Gilmore Lite. For a cheaper solution, subsitute the Sony's for an AT A900.

the gilmore isnt very portable....how much are cd3000's running these days?

edit: still about $400...too much..the At 900's are OK, but aren't incredibly portable...i will show him and see what he thinks....

Tell us more... does he want to use them while he's moving around, or on a bus, or home/work? What's his budget? What source?

Ok, just saw your edited post.

For portable cans try the Sony V6 at around $100, or the Beyer 250-80 at around $200. Both should be ok without an amp, and I can't suggest a portable amp anyway.

I'd say that the HD25-1's would make a prime candidate in this case. You might want to check out this review.
