I'm looking for an amp about $50 or less that would would be good with my ATH-M50's. I have a fiio e5, I like it but I feel it only makes the music louder and does not much improve the overall quality. So, any thoughts?

If you want more bass use the EQ or get new headphones, XB700 for example.

I had the XB300's and I didn't really like the sound or build quality. They had bass but nothing else, I like my ATH-M50's a lot and was just wondering what the best amp would be for them. Does not necessarily have to amplify bass but I would like it.

hypnotoad do you use a ipod? in that case it seems necessary to be using a lod to work well

Everyone wants great sound for not a lot of $$.  I don't know of any solution that will give you what you want for under $50.  iBasso T4 has a nice bass boost but cost +$100. Other than that, new bass oriented headphones would do it.

A bit over your limit, but it's got a bass toggle switch.

good amp for bass? you don't need a bassy amp, you need a bassy can IMO.
 
did not read OP.  Yeah, you'll probably want the fio-e7 or one of those cheap ibasso models.

I have a T4D and it offers a nice bit a bass to re-0/zero
