Edited.
I've got a few questions regarding my Sony MDR-7506 headphone that I've had for ages. I love them.
Recently I got some Beyerdynamic edt250 velour pads for them, which are incredible.
What I'm interested in now, is getting advice on replacing the OEM coiled cord with a higher quality, straight cord. I never use the phones 3meters from the source and I don't need the 1/4 connector.
Second, I'm interested in actually powering these things, with an inexpensive, basic, yet functional amplifier. I use them mostly with my PlayStation Vita so a small footprint would be ideal. I have done very minimal research but it seems a lot of people use battery powered amps. I never knew. Edit: I should have mentioned that I'd like a nice balanced sound. I'm not looking for crazy lows, or crazy highs. The headphones sound good as they are, I think they just need more power to be properly utilised. But of course, that's why I posted. If you know something I don't, which I'm certain is true, please advise me. Thank you so much!
Thanks for your help, people; without headfi I never would have discovered the Westone UM series, which I really like, those are nice IEM. Thank you.
