do i need amp?

[blurgal35 0]

with a volume level of max 25.. i usually listen to my mp3player at level 14-16..

which is really loud enough for me.. so, do i still need amp??

i hav a px100 anyway..

Actually, an amp adds flavour to the sound(depending on which amp) and it does not only do volume amplification. May I know what mp3 player you are using?

no you really don't need an amp - for the PX100 powering straight from your zen is good enough...

Yep....

 

Doubt an amp would help "improve" the px100 substantial enough to justify the cost of the amp.

i suppose amps are good for those big headphones then~~

X2. unless ur gonna spring for a lineout dock and a very decent amp (a RSA HORNET is realy nice ), i dont think u'l garner much improvments.

Sorry to Hi jack this post.

 

I am using a Grado 325i with my Ipod and I listen at max or near max volume.

 

A low cost (less then $200) headphone amp will help?

no doubt it will help. A govibe or smth will help.

An amp will improve a pair high-end cans like the SR325i, but I don't think that's what you need.

Not when you're listening at max volume even out of an iPod.

 

If you're listening while in the train/bus, you should stop and get a pair of IEMs or closed cans instead.

If you're not listening in a noisy environment, you should stop and get yourself to an audiologist to have your ears checked.

I'd agree with radioactive28. Max volume on an iPod should be more than enough for the low impedance Grado.

are you using the sr325i on the go or at home?

 

if at home you should consider investing more in a nice big cdplayer and an amplifier and you'll find the 325i sounding much better!
