Audio Technica W1000 and Voyager: good match?

Hi oxophone,

I own and really like the AT-W1000 but do not own, nor would I have use for, a portable amp.

I am not one who jogs, cycles or commutes using headphones.

Around 12 months ago I had an evaluation loan of a Voyager and having only studio type headphones (the ATs and AKG 701) I did that evaluation in the context of someone using the Voyager as a substitute for a desktop amp, largely for PC based audio.  I envisaged it a likely situation that many would want a portable amp for portable use but might like to be able to also use it with PC based systems when not on the go.

Certainly the Voyager had no problems driving either of those IIRC and my feeling was that it could certainly fill that role.

That said, it is, primarily, a portable amp, intended for "out and about" usage - whereas the W1000 are definitely a quality studio headphone and not intended (or suitable) for streetwear.

You would not go rallying in a stretch limo and probably not hire a WRX for your daughters wedding.

If you like the "woodies" and the AT sound perhaps consider the ATH-EW9 as being more suitable. 

Do not suppose this directly answers your question but it may be helpful to consider these things.

please don't mind, but I think, you are missing a point

or two, please read past the word "jog".

I did intend to provide information from my experience that might be relevant to other usages, it seems I was unsuccessful, please forgive my obtusity.
