It seems like some would be tempted to buy the Power even for low(ish) impedance, high to moderately sensitive headphones / IEMs, but I think that would be rather silly. I'd be worried that the Power's usable range of volume with those would be too narrow. Justin offers 3 portable amps to choose from for a reason.
Also, I'd just like to say that his amps are rather sexy

 
The amps look/feel even better in person.  And the Power comes with a 3-position gain switch.

What about something like this?

Nice capacity there, but they are 8.4V batteries. Not sure what effect that would have. I vaguely recall Justin suggesting suitable batteries to use. Would be good to hear what he recommends.

Thanks. I'd forgotten about that post. That makes me eager to find out about what kind of charger will be included or required.

I don't think batteries are included...
