Hi, i'm looking for an amp for my audio technica ath m50..that's what i need

 

at least 2 imput ports

a little bit of equalizer or a bass boost

So more than an Amp, you want something that can connect to consoles to use your Headphones?

 

Or I guess you could plug an amp to the TV and get the sound that way.  If that is all you need, I think the Fiio E6 may be your cheapest option.

The thing is that for plugging on the consoles, is gonna need to have optical inputs (both the Xbox and the PS3 have optical outputs, they do not have coaxial outputs and I think only the xbox 360 have stereo RCA outputs, so you gonna need the optical), and that would be a DAC/AMP combo, that is going to cost much more.

 

If you use the Fiio E6, it just plugs in line with your headphone's cables and you can plug it in your PC, your TV, your Phone and would help the problem you have right now when you connect the headphones directly to the TV.

Then is not gonna be cheap. :P

 

at the end may i have to buy a regular hifi amp? 

 

I guess that'd fix your problems.   But is not an HiFi Amp, you want an AV receiver with a headphone output.  Not all amps have the inputs to connect the consoles.
