Hey guys.
I'm new in head-fi and want to put together a good portable rig, so I've been reading a number of threads at Head-Fi (pretty good info, BTW).
I'll be using my setup for travel (airplanes, hotels, etc): iPod 5G, and if going with an amp will have a pocketdock
What do you think? Do you believe the improvement in sound quality would be worth the extra $450 to your ears?

Personally for that money, I get the UE-5s. You wont need an amp, you will get same performance without an amp. 5th Ipod is a good source. Some like myself don't find any gain with an amp. OK very small difference. But you will get bass the ER4-P or ER4S won’t give you. Plus you don't have to carry an amp with you everywhere. I leave my SMv3 at work. There are other reasons like the fit being better. Just an idea. ER4-S are good as well, but UE-5 pretty sure you are going to like better. But again is alittle more money and not sure you have it.
