    Mark - I bought this rechargeable one from ebay - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/portable-headp...item20adf16e9e - absolutely fantastic bit of kit IMHO - and coupled with this cable - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fisual-Super...ref=pd_cp_ce_2 - and a pair of PX100 Sennheisers, I've got a great little headphone system for my ipod classic when in the office.

    They do quite a few things, tripath amp, DAC, headphone amps with tubes etc etc but i just bought this to try out as i thought my walk about MP-3 player sounded a bit flat & lacking volume.
