[QUOTE="Timber_MG, post: 2173, member: 18"] It is very importantwith some headphones to have a 150Ohm output impedance. THis can easily be achieved with a little adapter with little resistors inside (they don't need to dissipate much). Many of the newer generation cans are designed around the old radio standard with portable players in mind, but almost all really good cans are still 150 Ohm becasue that is how they get used professionally. I would go with an Altoids tin type amp for portable use. One can pick some up for reasonable prices on e-bay. I drive my Beyerdynamic DT-880 (which need their first service sometime) with a Yamaha MG 10/2 mixer which is quite adequate. [/QUOTE]
