This happens to be my first portable amp for my headphones. Although I have several high impedance headphones, none exceeded 300 ohms. Decided to try a portable amp as I could not hear clear audio coming out of my Beyer DT 880 while I waiting for my wife, in the car, with the windows down. Being a newbie in this portable audio world, this really caught me by surprised as I did not expect a lack of audio, even when the volume on my redmi was cranked all the way up.
The headphone was, as usual, connected to me mobile, the Redmi Note 6 pro. Granted the 880 was an open back headphone but it should work even outdoors. Pictures of the newest model is here, On google. I would think mine is the one with the words Beyerdynamic across the headphone cover.

So, being the regular guy, who just wants things to work as they should be, I realized the headphones might not be getting enough juice. Thus, the "need" for a portable amp. Did I say "need", maybe the term "a partial need and a partial necessity" would be more appropriate.
As mentioned above, I got the E5 at $60 used. The seller was kind enough to list and explain to me the various capabilties of the amp. The E5 as it turned out, is also a DAC. That means it can take Digital signals and Covert them to Analogue signals.Th seller,as it turned out uses it primarily to listen to music from his laptop. As I am typing this, that is what exactly what I am doing. This time, connected to my Dell, and listening through my Koss Pro4aa. More on that later.
Anyway, before I listened using the Dell, the E5 was connected to my Redmi via Bluetooth. Connection was simple enough. Download the creative app and you can have more control over the functions of the E5.
As a reguilar guy, who needs more juice in pushing up more audio from his high impedance headphone, this works.No complains.
