Steve: the issues with the ER-4S needing an amp isn't whether or not they'll
play *loud* enough; rather, it's whether or not they'll play *well* enough
;) The ER4S are simply designed to be used with a powerful headphone amp.
If you were to buy a good amp and then use your 4S, you would immediately
see what I'm talking about -- as good as you think they sound now, it's
nothing compared to what a good amp will do for them.
You may want to reconsider and exchange them for the ER-4P, which are
specifically designed for use with portables. The don't require a separate
amp to achieve their full potential, and will actually sound better than the
4S when run directly from a portable.
