Why would you need high volume earphones? It Damages your hearing.
The Mini 3 will work great with high-end earphones, if you still use the iBuds, then I would see no reason in buying an amp for them, as you would not notifice the difference

Build or buy a CMoy amp. That would be an inexpensive volume control to bump up the volume.

Yes, portable amps work well on any earbuds, but if they are crappy to begin with...well, no sense in guilding a turd.

My Denon earbuds work well with an amplifier and they're only 16ohm impedance. They work well direct from the iPod but they take off via an amp. The sound becomes more 'solid' sounding with more grunt at the bottom end.

It surprised me how much they were affected but I suspect with cheaper earbuds, it wouldn't be so noticeable.
