I'm looking to buy the IE8 to pair it with an iPod Touch and my cellphone (Nokia N9). I'll also use it with my macbook. What I want to know is whether I need an amp to drive these or will without amp do just fine. I know an amp will obviously help but is IE8 the kind of IEM that 'needs' an amp to drive it like the Etymotic ER4S does?
