Headphone amp and Shure e2c

[Dusty Chalk]

Yes, the Shure's definitely benefit from quality amplification (I know because I have a pair). I would skip the "mint", though, and go straight to something better like one of Headroom's amps. Although I found a bigger benefit by putting mine in a drawer and buying a pair of Etymotics (ER-6i's, in my case). Then I didn't even need an amplifier.

There are always better things but would the "mint" even improve my sound?

I had a mint, and before it started shorting out, it did sound a little better (than straight out of the headphone jack of my Creative Labs Nomad Jukebox 3), but I'm just glad I got mine for free.

Hey Dusty,Whats your take on the Shure E4c in ear headphones.I got a pair for my sister for Christmas.

I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with that one -- only the E2c's.

I was going to get those in the first place but chose the more expensive ones.She's going to be using them with an I-pod.Are the e2c's good with I-pods as I'm not an in ear headphone guy.Thanks
