Do I need to use an amp with the ATH-M50s?
I got the ATH-M50s a while back and I mostly use it to listen to music from my iPhone, but I'm worried that the power output might not be enough from the iPhone to power the headphones fully, like how it is with my netbook. I was wondering if it would make a difference if I were to use a portable amplifier like the FiiO E5, E6, or E7 when listening to the ATH-M50. Which is the best for a cheap price? I don't have a lot of experience with this kid of stuff. Is there any accessories that I should also get if I buy one of these portable amps?
Any input would be helpful, thanks.
FiiO E7 will work great.
Tanner - Try the headphones without the amp first - they might work just fine.
- Will Audio-Technica ATH-M50's work without an amplifier? I'm looking to get the Audio-Technica ATH-M50 headphones. I would mostly be using them with my iPhone 4 and my Macbook Pro 13". I listen to all sorts of music, from folk metal, hip hop, jazz, and pop. I don't know much about these higher levels of headphones but I know this pair is very good for the price. I have read a bit about portable amplifiers, but I don't know what that really is and if it would be necessary.
- Locked iPhone and need sim card to use because I restarted it but i don't have the specific sim I need. Please i'm desperate? Ok so my aunt got me an iPhone from Canada but its sim locked and it says I need to insert a sim card for it to work. The problem is i don't have a sim from that specific company that locked it and the only thing I can do is emergency calls and all that. I can't even use it as an iTouch or something.
