Hello all, this is my first post ever so pardon any mistakes. anyway i have been dying for answers i just have to know. a couple weeks back i bought sennheisser ie60 IEM's for around $200. I thought they sounded pretty amazing and the bass was the best out of my collection of 10 different headphones.
I went on a 13 hour long coach journey to somewhere else and clumsily left them at home, so i just went to the store at the place and bought some $20 unnamed headphones to listen to. And i was shocked, Baring in mind i am passionate about bass and sound quality these sounded just as good as the ie60's . The sound quality granted was a little muddied compared but there was so much more bass i thought i must of been dreaming.
Btw i use an app called poweramp on my player (phone) because my phone's jack gives out barely any power because it's a budget smartphone, this may be the cause i don't know. I was just wondering if the sennheissers won't perform well because of the low power or do i need an external amp as my phone does not give much to the headphones?
Any suggestions wound be much appreciated, thanks in advance
