I wish I hadn't have discounted iems, since I now use them much more than my over ears, even when I'm at home. I also wish I had have had a better understanding of the type of sound signature I preferred, would have saved myself a lot of time and money. That being said, I did enjoy the journey itself to finding my end game πŸ™‚

Amps don’t change the sound quality. People saying you need an amp are liars.

Depends what headphones you're trying to drive. Planars for example benefit greatly from an amp.

I mean when people think you need an amp to run HD 6X0 series when I reality the whole lineup is easy to drive to deafening levels.
