E11 or what? What do you use it with? I use it mainly with my phone and laptop and the quality is pretty insane with FLAC files, is it really needed?

Mostly when commuting to NYC for work almost everyday. The amp is in fact an e11 and it makes a huge difference.

Depending on the impedance and sensitivity, some headphones although they can play loud, the control and clarity are much improved with a good amp. Not to mention a quality source. After playing native DSD from my dac, i'm never going back to a non DSD dac. The quality is just insane, the quality of detail and soundstage far surpasses CD and flac quality.

Travelling a couple of thousand km's per month, Bose QC20 are my best friends nowadays... Best noise cancelling out there.

I have had Grado RS1 in the past and they are magical in details but I can't listen to them for too long, they are just too "sharp" for me.

Right now I use the Denon AH-D600 wich I recently compared to the Audeze LCD-1 and the denons where a bit more fun so I kept them.

I agree! Those are absolutely perfect. The sound is great and they wear comfy.

I would definitely recommend these. The quality and confort that you get for this price are just unbelievable.

Sony is still there when it comes to music. People tend to forget as they give too much importance to design

Sennheiser HD600 the sound is just incredible

Bose QuietComfort 15 for me (I know, I know... the audio quality is far from the best). But flip the switch and the active noise canceling is better than anything else out there. They're also incredibly comfortable and Bose's customer service is outstanding. They're a phenomenal pair of cans!

For everyday travelling around London UK I use these: http://m.bowers-wilkins.com/shop/headphones/C5-S2.html Amazing definition and punchy bass.

When travelling to and around the USA on business I have an old pair of Bose QC15, which have great noise cancelling (^^as Ultrasonic mentions ^^) but as are not as sharp as the Bowers but when stuck on a noisy plane with screaming kids etc I want to knock out as much outside noise as possible!!!

+1 on the B&W C5 earphone, I'm down with it too. Definitely a great earphone for everyday use with good noise cancellation, wide sound aspects (bass, treble, etc) and somehow a punching bass on several songs.

As for the headphone, I usually use the Skullcandy Skull Crusher, not the best but definitely a bad ass when it comes to musics with deep bass such as rap, hip-hop, etc

Grado. Any Grado ! I have had them all. The only word I can describe about them [used with a good tube amp and source] is ALIVE !! ......... They are the only ones that give me goose pimples aside from a multi buck electrostatic. .............. and yes, I have been an audiophile for over 40 years. This old foghorn still rocks! :dancing: .... Ha ha !!

Always grado ... Rs1e is my current favourite even over the gs and ps..Great sound

if you haven't heard rs, gs or ps through the ear hp4 amp you should hunt one down.. This is the best headphone combo I have ever heard and the hp4 is probably one of the finest headphone amps made and makes the grado sing.. That amp is on my wish list for sure.. Proper high end audiophile, just incredible
