headphone amp question /sennheiser pmx200 headphones

[pjdjphattunes]

just bought some sennheiser pmx 200 neckband headphones phones, quality portables, i use them with my mp3 player for the gym and running so needed robust quality gear as i have tried loads of different types, in ear, over ear , buds and they have all had shortcomings, mainly in staying in position, or as with my phillips over ear the sweat in my ears was building up causing a barrier between the headphone and my ear, disrupting the sound, i know for a fact the sennheisers can deal with sweat as my hd25-1's have withstood 5 years of djing in hot clubs , these headphones have a neckband and over ear clips which hold the phones perfectly in place , just a nice amount of pressure so as not to be worrying about them slipping and the sound out of them is excellent, my question is i now want a headphone amp no more than £50 as i am on a budget, i also need it as small as poss and to be able to withstand being taken out running , can anybody help thanks

i made my own chu moy amp. it was simple and the is a massive improvement on the sound quality. i recommend them, also if you dont want to go through the hassel of making it you can always buy one, read made

thanks shahedz, been searching round all day, next question i like the look of this : http://www.shellbrooklab.com/mini-head.html , is it worth the extra money (about £30) over one of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1

the shell brook ini head looks like a quality bit of kit , any help appreciated

[shahedz]

to be honest i'm not too sure. reason being is i havnt heard the shellbrook. the circuit design looks very similar. but the build on the shellbrook looks outstanding, i personally would experiement with the shell brook seeing as its only just over £30,

[pjdjphattunes]

its £30 more at todays exhange rate its about £65 - £70 , do you reckon its worth a go still

[shahedz]

thats quite a lot. to be honest its more than i would gamble on something with out hearing it, to be honest i dont think you can go far wrong with a chu moy, they are populare because they are good-and cheap. and i think if you bought it and didnt like it you could probably sell it for what you got it for. go for a chu moy see how it that goes first, i was really impressed with it!
