what is the best AMP to get the most out of these headphones for around 100$~?

The only one worth buying is Objective 2 amp or the amp/dac version. That said, I've never felt I needed one and an amp doesn't fix the bass problem these have.

There are literally a ton of options, but I can't recommend the FiiO E10K highly enough. It runs around 75 bucks and gives you a very clinical sound. There's others like the Bravo Ocean that are excellent, but they're tube amps, which will alter the sound a bit to prefer warmth. While I personally like a warm sound signature, I'd rather get that out of my headphones, not the amplifier. Amps shouldn't color the sound, it should only make it louder to power higher impedance headphones. Now, if you want something that you'll plug both the headphones and microphone into (most onboard sound cards don't do so well with the microphone input), I'd look into the Omni by Creative, which hovers at the same 75 bucks as the FiiO. That's my two cents, hope it helps!

That probably depends on how good your hearing is/how loud you like your music. I have never needed an amp using these headphones.

Well all the headphones you listed don't need an amp. I'd probably Recommend the Beyerdynamic DT770s for a closed headphone. Or if you are using it at home the DT990.

The only reason you would need an amp is if your original source is limited. Otherwise don't bother. But if you really feel the need here is one source discussion I found. http://www.head-fi.org/t/635772/need-help-should-i-get-a-headphone-amp-with-v-moda-m-100

I say this is a high quality Digital-to-Analog Converter in general. So unleas your computer has an extremely good sound card, this amp will work amazingly with medium to extreme quality headphones

You must have an amplifier for these headphones to give you the best sound. Leckerton Audio has great portable amplifiers/digital audio converters starting at $ 200.00 which can drive 300 ohm headphones with no problems at all.

that would be best way to get the most out of them but no you do not need an amp i have mine running off the mb quart 1000.4 there getting about 75 watts each set and man they sound great.

No these headphones works best with an amp. I actually have 4 different kind of amps for my 650.

Absolutely. The frequency response, even at low levels, is pretty amazing for this price level. I can't justify paying more for any headphone unless you're an extremely discriminating audiophile using high end equipment. They're just great little headphones.

A receiver of 100 USD will not be adequate to get great sound from these speakers. They require fairly medium/high power and low harmonic distortion to deliver their magic.Using a cheap amp you wont hear the difference between these and a set of 49.95 budget speakers.

yes, unless you just want to use some headphones,but I went and purshased a simmons DA50 amp for around 80.00

I have a couple of studio headphones, and the Nuforce MMP-Black powers them very nicely. It is a very adequate amp for that purpose.Glenn

I use an E9 amp at home, and it's pretty much perfect, but even if you just have them hooked straight to your iPhone or w/e they perform pretty damn well in the bass department.

If the headphones are of decent quality, you dont have to worry. This amp should not have enough power to damage quality headphones. They work fine with my Momentum and AKGs fine

go with one of the pioneer digital amps and you'll be happy, those amps are relatively small and push plenty of power

The treble, bass, FX level etc work well with both chanels. I havent tried any pedals and I havent tried the 100.

I own these headphones and i hook them up to my mac laptop and computer all the time and the sound quality is fantastic. I also have a fiio e5 and that really doesn't do much. These headphones are very sensitive and only 50 ohm so therefor you will not need an amplifier. People say you need a headphone amp for high end headphones, but that is only if you have 300 ohm headphones. Most high end headphones are much higher than these. SO you should be fine hooking them up to your pc speakers or just directly into your pc.
