PLEASE NOTE.  These need a headphone amplifier capable of comfortably delivering ~2 watts into 50 ohms to sound their best, especially if you like to listen at realistic levels.We recommend the excellent Tellurium Q Iridium headphone amp  http://www.analogueseduction.net/category-658/TQHA.html

You can connect them directly to the output of a "speaker" amp without danger, as long as the amp is rated at 40~50 watts or less.
