I can recommend Beyerdynamic's DT1350 with output 1. All the switches on the BH play well with them too, unlike a fair amount of headphones. So far from my inventory with the BH i would rate Etymotic ER-4P>Beyer DT1350>Vsonic GR07. This is in terms of a reference sound, i.e. least coloration as possible. I'm finding that the DT1350's respond amazingly well to EQ too. I love turning them into the Beyerdynamic T1 with Accudio, very similar :)

Tokendog, if i may ask you how you feel about headphones sound compared to proper speakers? Since getting onto portable i begin to toy with the idea of adding dedicated earphone tubey amp and a pair of good helmets so i can listen to the music in cabinet room when my wife had enough highend decibels shaking her brain? :)

Do you think it is possible to achieve naturalness and live dimension with good helmets? Till now i was skeptical but reading here some enthusiasts i begin to think i am not right about bashing earphones.

Guys, I just had an update from DHL tracking.
 
 

 
My package is now in Germany, which leads me to believe it will in UK tomorrow.
 
Woo, so exciting. My BH is almost with me.

You're lucky - mine still hasn't been shipped. I hope they ship it tomorrow coz if they don't use DHL it will be one insanely long wait.

yeah I had to wait like 4 weeks before I got mine, and I got a shipping confirmation like the same day of ordering.

Looked at WA6SE, what a beauty, love it and price is acceptable by audiophile standards :)

I love anything with tubes ... I am mad :)))

A week? I charged mine last month... that's over 3 weeks ago.
 
And I could power some headphones at the SF Bay Area meet with it just fine.
 
Talking about which, I can't remember the last time I sang praise for this one, so here are some headphones I heard that I think had pretty good synergy with the BH:
 
AKG K167 Tiesto (switch LF to on, leave everything off)
Mr. Speaker's Mad Dog (this is probably the ultimate portable rig right here, just plug in, flip SF switch to on, leave everything else off, and enjoy)
Audio Technica ESW11LTD (switch SF on, leave everything off)
Denon D2000 (not so much synergy, but it does clean up the bass by having SF switch on)
Sony XB500 (switch both SF and LF on for this one)
 
The BH can't keep things clean and clear at very high volume (and I must say... I listen pretty loud) but... at lower volume, I couldn't detect much of a difference between it and some of the higher-end amps there, so that's saying something.

Is this where the E12 would have the edge?
