Hmm, Koss' Portapro and KSC75, Sennheiser PX100 and Goldring DR50, spring to mind. All good phones, all work great via the aforementioned devices. When you say iPod, do you mean for portable use? Because the Goldring DR50 are a bit bigger, so depends how portable the phones need to be, if at all.

just been looking around and seen some skull candy agent headphones and quite like the look of them , how do they compare?

^^ I would avoid Skullcandy. i have a pair of their earphones that i use on the go and it seems they care more about the design then the actually sound of them!

Yes avoid as if they gave you some nasty disease. All looks and style, no substance in the audio dept.

A great case of form over function.

Goldring & sennheiser are good.

ah thanks for the warning about them, was rather pulled in by the colors !
i think those sennheiser hd 212 pro 's are most suitable , just need to find a place that sells them now!
