[QUOTE="TestNamePleaseIgnore, post: 810733, member: 18796"] As I see it there are 2 types of portable amps. With a battery. Pros: - Doesn't drain your phone's battery as much - More power - Some could be used as a battery bank Cons: - Another battery to remember to charge - Larger + heavier - If the battery eventually dies you probably have to throw it away (unless you find a replacement) Without a battery Pros: - Light and very portable - No battery that can die Cons: - Less power - Drains your phone faster (though not that much) Some suggestions: Most of the FiiO stuff gets good reviews, especially for the money Audioquest Dragonfly Black/Red Meridian Explorer 2 Oppo HA2 Chord Mojo Woo Audio WA8 Eclipse (money no object) Before spending too much on a portable amp consider whether it would have been better to get a nice dedicated DAP or spend the money on better headphones.
