Whats a good amp for my Bowers&wilkins P5 while using them with my iphone 4s?

@MrBarrbapapa

Try 'Pro-Ject Headbox MK2' for US $159. It's a dedicated headphone amp that has received great reviews and it sounds great with any headphones.

Listening to SR80s now. Buy em. Work fucking fine on iPod. In fact, I compare them to my friends expensive skull candys all the time, and mine kicks their ass

Try them with a nice amp. You'll be surprised how much better they sound. With iPod, you only get half the sound quality. iPod's amp is very weak. Trust me and just try.

hey, I own a pair of sr80i, but i know anything about what kind of amp to drive it well. any recommendations?

@slslslsl

Check out the comments under my video for amp recommendations.

It's refreshing to see a review that actually talks about the SOUND quality of the headphones, rather than things like comfort and styling. You do a great job explaining how good the Grados sound, and as a result, maybe you'll turn people on to good headphones, instead of crap like Skullcandy and the Beats by Dr. Dre headphones.

@slslslsl you don't need an amp to drive these, you can drive them without an amp. Seriously they are not difficult to drive, they are not Audeze LCD2's, LCD3's or Sennheiser HD 800's. I own a pair of Grado / Alessandro Music Scene One and they run fine with out an amp.

@BigHairyBalls3000 Yea but Skullcandy is all brand. Every over ear Skullcandy I've owned, which was 2 and have heard many more; Would not even get a 3 on my 3/5. Actually maybe just a 3 is all it would get.

Thankyou for a awesome review. Most people on here go on about what they headphones look like and I'm happy you just tell us what you really think about the sound because that's all that matters in the end. Cheers :)

@DarkShroom The mp3 encoding applies filtering even as low as 8k on some settings (read the source code), this can be audible with some songs esp on HF emphasizing phones like Grados.

@others - Ears will quickly get used to emphasized HF sound (within a day) such as Grados. Going to the other direction can take much longer to gain back the sensitivity needed to hear high stuff (eg. grado->senns). As one gets older, ears HF sensitivity gets worse and phones with HF emphasis become desirable.
