I use Etymotic ER-4P with my iPod Touch and they work well, the only issue is the bass is a little challenged. If you have the ER-4S then you may need an amp to drive them. There are a lot more in ear headphones available now (compared to when I got the ER-4Ps), none of which I've heard. I would suspect an over the ear headphone will require even more power than the ER-4P (or other in ear) so you may have serious degradation. I chose the ER-4P since they are so small, over the ear headphones are just too bulky for travel. I also don't know if the Nano has the same headphone driving capabilities as the Touch.
Nano as travel piece
After years of resistance, I've purchased a Nano and downloaded tunes. I'm taking it on an overseas trip and need headphone/buds advice. I own Etymotic. Is there a decent sealed design headphone which can be driven well enough by this thing? I refuse to the the external headphone amp or noise cancellation phones unless really convinced they sound better than last time I listened to them.
I'll purchase the universal charger from Apple and some small case. Any input welcomed.
Thanks for input, and yes I did check the forum discussion before asking these questions.
