... that still sounds good with Ety ER-4P and doesn't cost a fortune?
Does such a thing exist? If it does, can anyone tell me about it?
Backstory:
My four-year-old ER6i are dying. While the drivers are holding up quite nicely, the cord has unfortunately begun to fray in spots. They still sound fine, but I know that won't last once the cord really starts to give way.
Aside from that, they are really ugly cosmetically now. Four years of handling, listening, being stuffed in purses and pockets and being owned by a smoker has led the once-white cable and housing to darken to a rather unsightly yellow.
All good things must come to an end, however, and these are definitely approaching their final days. So I'm going to be upgrading to the ER-4P, since they're everything the ER6i are and a warehouse full of bags of chips.
I know the ER-4P work fine right out of a headphone out, but I also know that they work better when amped.
So, denizens of Head-Fi. Help me make my wallet (only a LITTLE) lighter and easier to carry. Which portable amp for $100-150 is very small and has good sound and decent battery life?
