OK, need advice. Which amplifier will work best with Sennheiser 598's connected to either/both an iPhone6 and a 1st gen iTouch? Thinking under $150.

same problem... at low volumes with ipod touch 2nd gen. it has a terribly obnoxious static... nothing i do seems to correct the problem. using line in, it sounds great, but that kind of defeats the purpose of the system.

I use my amp with 2 sets of phones. Both are Beyer-Dynamic at 250ohms each. One open back, one closed back. The sound is great, I think you will be pleased, especially with Sennheiser open back phones.

Hi Lori. I'm not sure. I used them with my iphone 5 and the first itouch. These are great sounding headphones and light. After a couple years one ear just stopped working. I'm looking for a new pair not sure if I'd go with these for the price.

Thanks for the replies. Will keep it in mind when I am ready to buy a headphone amp.

Hi BenI own a Sony PHA-1 and wasn't very impressed compared to other amps around the same money. There's a newer model a Sony PHA-2 which I haven't heard but has received good reviews. Personally I'd buy a Just Audio AHA-120 which is one of the best portable amps you can get. It sell for around $575.00 and is worth every cent. I bought mine from www.hifiheadphones.co.ukCheers, Gordon.

Do you know the type has in the your earphone end? I think when you go to buy, you have to ask for 3.5 size conection in both sides. Any way, that amplifier is very small but is not bad. I hope that answer can help you, Nelson.

The egg beats speaker dock is for the iphone . The itouch is too thin and the sound won't carry through the speaker. (I've tried)

You may be able to use the Apple camera connection kit to extract digital audio from Apple IOS devices, however the Nuforce icon IDO, is going for $100 bucks right now and it is designed specifically for IOS devices. The IDO is also a great headphone amp and has analog outputs to send audio to your amp, so you can listen to it through the speakers. I own both devices and you can't go wrong with either one. Both offer great quality for the buck and if you've never used an external DAC for music listening, your in for a real treat. Best of luck.

Yes you really only need an amp with high resist and low sensitivity headphones. This has pretty low resist and the sensitivity is high enough to be really loud at 50% volume on a ipod.

Not the greatest for iPOD, and average for IPAD and PC. The problem is this is a 300 ohm headphone and to fully appreciate the sound you need a headphone amp. But it tell work, you will just not the full performance from it

I just bought a Mcintosh MHA100 DAC/AMP and it is brilliant with the HD600. It completely changed the performance and took it to a level that in my opinion was better than $1800 cans I tried. If you like tubes Woo Audio WA7 has some excellent feedback

I also use the HD600's with my iPod, there is enough signal to power the cans and I have not felt there was anything lacking to justify the need for a headphone amp.

With the newest ipods/iphones, you will need to use an adapter to plug your device into the speakers. I think the adapters are about $30.

Yamaha NS-6490 or something close. I pipe my music from my Galaxy note 2 to this amp and speakers via a bluetooth 4.0 receiver and it performs outstandingly. Plenty of volume and clear.
