I am quite impressed by the headphone out of my ipad 2. It powers my DT770/250 better than my laptop and also my old receiver I used for over a year. Not as good as my E9 though . I really want to get a pair of DT1350 but have to wait for them to come down in price a bit.

I'm getting a brand new 4th gen iPod touch for my SRH840's and soon to acquire SRH440's. Apple makes great built in headphone amplifiers, especially in their newer stuff.

You should get the Equalizer or the EQu app for the Touch.....they are fantastic! I have both but prefer Equalizer.....others prefer EQu. At $2.99 USD for each, it's worth buying both to be sure you get the one you like better.

Thank you for the recommendation! Personally though, I find EQ's just ruins the sound to my ears... but I'm definitely on the more accurate, flat side rather than colored when it comes to  EQ preferences, I usually turn it off or put it on flat. I guess that's why I like Shure so much and others find them "boring and lifeless". lol

I have no experience with the Shure headphones, but for me, I use an EQ judiciously....I want to hear everything, not just "moar bass"

like the kids in their cars. So I tinker to get what sounds to my ears like a roughly flat setting most of the time, just upping the bass a little bit from flat when listening at low volume like before going to sleep.
 
I have one set of 'phones that I don't need any EQ with on the Touch, but a couple others that are helped by it. Anyways, enjoy the Touch either way.....it's a lot of fun.

Well thank you very much I really appreciate that! And I completely understand why people use EQ's, I just prefer not to. Partly because I have ADD and if I have options, I keep messing with them to the point of not being able to enjoy the music anymore.

It's easy to spend a lot of time tinkering trying to find that perfect setting.....especially when I had cheaper headphones, I wasted several evenings with that, going through all of my reference tracks, etc. etc....so I know what you mean.

EQ for me doesn't work out cuz if you have a balance headphone what's the point of eq. I used to use bass reducer for my xb500 due to overwhelming bass. m50 is good without any eq. I think. yes. Ipad2 is very well built in term of audio. plus garage band is very good to play around with. so fun for 4.99
