So far I am thinking that I should get Grado SR60's and a Total Airhead. I am trying to keep the price around one-hundred fifty dollars, as I am a student. Are there any other suggestions? I already own a pair of Creative EP 630's and a pair of Sennheiser HD201's. I really want headphones, not earphones, earbuds, in ear monitors, etcetera. As said in the topic, this rig is going to be portable. The source for these will mainly be my Creative Zen Vision:M, but it might occasionally be used to plug into an Acer Aspire 5000 laptop. I noticed the PA2V2 and am also considering that paired with Grado SR60's. Any experiences with these amps, especially with a pair of SR60's?
EDIT: Also, this is my first post. Hello, Head-fi!

go to headphones/IEMS section, this is portable audio as in mp3 players.

Personally I would point you in the direction of an XP or Pint. They are both fairly inexpensive and sound fantastic. Especially with Grados.

I own a SR-60 and a PAV2V2. I think they match very well. The PAV2V2 makes my SR-60 shines.
For your budget, i would suggest a PAV2V2 and a SR-80. Or you can also get an SR-60 and a pair of bowl pads. Look at our sponsor TTVJ. It gives a $10 discount for fisrt time buyers, so you can get a really decent price on the SR-60 plus bowl pad.
The PAV2V2 retails for $60 shipped ...

Either the PA2V2 or the Go-Vibe 6 w/ SR60 or SR80.

So, maybe get SR60's with these pads and a PA2V2? I can't find any mention of an XP or Pint amp anywhere. Care to point out their sites?

ZVM+pa2v2+either 60 or 80 would be good

es7, no need for an amp. AMAZING

ms1 + mdr v6, only 25 usd above ur budget.......buy the amp later.
or if u cant stretch ur budget then go with the sr 69 and v6
i'm recomending the v6 since grados are almost useless outside.(no iso. plus thick ang tangly wire)

I really do want to purchase an amp, even a basic one would be fine. The reason being that it seems to be better to have an amp for future purposes. Also, does SR60 + Bowl Pads = SR80? I am just curious because they're only five bucks more (TTVJ First-time buyer) and the SR80's are about 15-30 dollars more, depending on where you look. I may have to split the purchase of the amp (probably a PA2V2) and the headphones (Still undecided on these, most likely the SR60's). Which would be best to buy first, the amp or the headphones? As mentioned, the only things I've got are Sennheiser HD201's and Creative EP630's. Man, these forums make me want to go out and buy a Tomahawk or something. Gah! Why do textbooks have to be so expensive?
