I took the Bose headphones out of the list and make another list for Bose headphones. Crappy and overprice as they may be; they're still headphones. Let me know if you want the Bose list to be completely eliminated.

Also, what do you want to do with members who have different types of headphones? If I recall correctly, there are members with gaming and audiophile grade headphones.

AT-HA20 is good for Audio Technica entry level headphones.

I'm loving my Beyer DT880's, they defiantly sound better with my new Auzen X-Fi Prelude, a lot more soundstage and definition than crappy Realtek sound, my setup is now 70% complete.

It can, depending on the amp and the cans in question. Different amps have different sound attributes, just like different headphones do.
