Be very careful of sale gimmicks. Most headphone amplifiers on the market have an output impedance that is too high. A trade off to lower noise and hiss when using low Z headphones. This causes the damping factor to be to low, affecting lower frequencies. Better to search for an amp that has switchable gains and an output Z at least 8x lower than your headphone impedance!!
