Hi, I just bought a DT 880 Pro 250 ohms version. Plug it in the Fio E7 / my lap and WOW; The sound stage and clarity are amazing, I heard something I've never realized before :). The bass and treble are okay, I could enjoy it more than any other full-size I bought (Sony V6 and AKG 701).
But there is something wrong with the mid, it's quite "dry" and liveless. And it hurts my music relaxation :xf_eek:
So could any one recommend me an amp to improve the its quality or just to pairt with my DT 880 ? My budget is about 200$. Thanks

I personally use a Little Dot 1+ (I use the 32ohm version). But since you have a E7, then you might as well get the E9 to go with it. I also suggest a tube amp, as I've heard (personally and from reading) that tube amps give the midrange that the DT880 needs.

For $200, the Bottlehead Crack is a fine amp. Some assembly required, but it comes fully documented and they have a forum, too. You won't get better quality for the price.
