Aphex has a pretty good one, the HeadPod, that doesn't cost
to many arms and legs. You might find the graph of output
power vs. headphone impedance to be educational. Also, note
that the warning "CAUTION - TURN DOWN VOLUME BEFORE PLUGGING
IN" is printed right on the front panel. But then I guess
nobody reads instructions on how to pour **** out of a boot
either.

Actually, I think my attitude toward headphones
has been that they don't really matter much so long as what goes in
the mic it good. nd like speakers so I might say what's the point?
With decent headphones, you can tell if what's going into
the mic is good. With poor headphones, you can't always tell
if it's in the best place or even if it's the best mic
(among what you have available) for the job.
