Good portable headphone amplifier

[Minty649]

Hey guys, so i am looking for a cheap portable amplifier for my Sennheiser HD 439's. I plugged them into my amp the other day and it really brought them to life, so i want one for on the go. Any suggestions?

I have seen this,

i would be grateful for your opinions

Thanks

the hd439 shouldnt need an amp at only 32ohm impedence... but if they do react great to one then i'd definitely go for a cheap fiio if you are on a budget. they shouldnt need any more than that.

there are more expensive and more powerful amps out there but i dont think it will be practical or needed over what you have already picked out.

Okay thanks, for me when they are just plugged into my ipod they are lacking that "boom" that i noticed when i plugged them into my big amp

i find that a bit odd.

i'm using 38ohm cans myself (so are just a tad harder to drive than yours) and my ipod classic and cellphone drive them perfectly fine.

i'd double check that it was not just some eq settings first though.

idk, maybe they just need to break in first. i might try an amp aswell and see how it goes
