Hi there,

I am a new member and new in the high quality headphones.

I am looking for a headphone amp that can run a forstex t50 RP MK3 with no problems but it have to be cheap as possible. I did some research and soon found out there are so many options. Does anyeone know a good option? I know things about electonics so a DIY-kit can I make work. As I said before it have to be cheap my budget is 50 euro's at the most but I want the best price for the quality.

thanks in advance.

You could just about build an O2 for that if you are handy with an iron.

Pangea HP101 is now $50 on Amazon. Zero issues on my HD600. Not perfect, but can hold its own vs the Magni and Vali.

Would that work for checking used speakers just to see if they are functional?

 
A headphone amp? No. Unless you're trying something like the Schiit Lyr2 you won't get enough power to even move a speaker to discern if driver behavior is normal or not, not to mention that even with something like the Lyr, 8ohms (much less 4ohms) might be too low.
