Hi guys! Wich in your opinion are the best 200 $(around)that sound great without a dedicated amplifier?I want to use them with the amp from my hi-fi line in home and an onkio minidisc!

You could pick up a pair of Etymotic ER-4P for about $235 new, off Ebay. If you can't stretch that far, you might consider buying a pair second hand. The ER-4P are the low impedance (easy to drive) version of the heralded ER-4S. Both are very capable head(canal)phones and compete with the best of them, dynamic wise.

I haven't heard that much else, so I won't make any more suggestions - I'll leave that up to the others.

HI: For your high fi I would try the sennheiser 580 and for your mini disc I would use the koss-35 or koss portapro. Keep in mind that the mini disc has a low m/w out put and you could use koss for it but your high-fi might be able to drive the senn. 580. Head room has a 30 day trial on both cans.

I've got the Ety 4Ps and they sound very good without an amp. The advantage of going with the Etys is that you can get a 4P -> 4S cable plus an amp later on. If the 4Ps are still too much, you should consider the Ety ER-6s.

Hi,
How about giving Grado Sr-80 a try for portable use? They sound great and doesn't require an amp to sound very good.
As for the future, get the Grado Sr-225 (130 -199 dollars) for your rock and pop musics, and get the Senn HD-580 with a good amp. I highly recommend you to get the creek obh-11 with the Senn 580.
For 200 dollars, you can pick up the Senn HD-580 for 130 shipped in Ebay...and contact JMT or Tangent to get the Cmoy amp to go with it. Your price won't be exceeding your budget by much. Sorry, I've to keep the price confident on JMT amp.
