Huh? Get the headphones first.
If you are happy with accurate pro sound then the Sennheiser HD 25-I-II is extremely dynamic and detailed (love percussion on these babies) and the closed cup on tehse headphones will cut out leakage and noise from the environment (-17 db extra noise floor!). The other pluses are that although they are very expensive and look like crap - they work GREAT with a lousy source - like an Ipod, laptop or a V-drums module, furthermore, - nobody will steal them from your travel seat when you go to the washroom...
I'd check the headphones out first - the one I recommend above have a very high sensitivity (db/Volt) so they do not need to be driven hard and a high cost headphone amp is of less criticality. Of course, if you go for some other types of high quality headphones then you may need to factor in a $300 to $500 headphone amp like the Benchmark HP2 or many others...(example - my AKG 240's NEED a good headphone amp to sound their best)
