Hi, I have looked at previous postings about this questions and posted this question on the"Portable Headphone Amp section"  but havent come across the right answer, I planning to buy the Denon D2000 headphone and what portable amp will power this? my criterea is
 
1) budget around $150
 
2) I will only be using this Amp through my Iphone and Ipad
 
3) battery life has to be decent
 
4) portable
 
5)I like Bass
 
From what I read ,i have heard about Fiio but which model shouId i choose? the e7? e11? or e17? or what other amp will meet my needs?  would really appreciate if someone can help me find the Right portable amp to power the Denon D2000, Thank you so much for your thoughts, God bless you and have a wonderful day.

there are a number of threads comparing portable amps, however if your going to be on the move then the denon is the wrong headphone to buy. Leaks sound, and long cable. It is a good headphone though

Yes, he's right the Denon is not a good portable hp. They are many better choices for portable. Although I love my denon's dearly, I would never take them out of the house...EVER!!

To answer your question though, fiio e10,11 and 17.

What headphone would you recommend for taking on the road (closed back and circumaural) that improves on the accuracy and resolution of the AT-M50?

 

[MattTCG]

This one seems good.

Thanks, but those are not circumaural.

Ultrasone pro 900, although they're pretty big, they fold and are a lot more manageable than the denons, removable cable and good isolation, i take mine out all the time.

There's a big headphone amp shootout at headfonia.com if your interested IIRC the D2000s were one of the headphones used.

The JDS Labs C421 is shaping up to be the one to beat in the <$200 portable amp wars...

I do understand that the Denon D2000 are not the most portable, the reason i need a portable amp is because once a year i take a 22hr flight, that will be the only time i will be taking it out of the house

Once a year?  You might be better off just getting a headphone/IEM that plays well straight out of your DAP.   Lots more real-world flexibility for your money.

The battery will need to last 22 hours or at least have fully charged extras so that your flying time is covered.

 

[WiR3D]

wow now that makes things considerably more tricky. still that 3m cable will annoy you on a flight, and your music will annoy the people within 5m of you, especially if you like it loud.
Im not exaggerating, these things can be speakers.

The E10 is not portable. It's USB powered and merely 'transportable' (like with a laptop)
