Answer
Yes, all Audio Technicas are particularly good with ipods etc, because of their high efficiency and good quality. Something like the ATH-M50 or ATH-ESW9 would be a great choice.
Some (particularly higher end) headphones offered by other brands, even quite popular brands like Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, AKG, etc, aren't ideal for ipods because of their inefficiency. Thus you need an amp to drive them properly.
Audio Technica is an intelligent choice too because other brands out there (Beats, Skullcandy, Bose, B&W, etc) are targeted more at the fashion and brand image side of the headphone market, while good brands like Audio Technica, Beyerdynamic, AKG, Shure, etc come from a background of serious studio production and prioritise sound quality and build quality over street image
Thus ATs are more suitable for people with intelligence rather than the members of the drooling army of Beats wearing zombiesheep that mindlessly stalk the streets these days or those a$$holes entertaining facile pretensions of "independently minded sophistication" by wearing B&W or Bose. Don't be them, they are more dead than alive.

Question about headphones?
Q. I'm going to put this out there and probably offend a few audiophiles while doing it.... I own an iPod. I'm going to further offend them by saying that when I rip my CDs to iTunes, I do not usually rip it to it's full potential, by this I mean I do not usually use lossless encoding, but rather around the 300kbps area. In the 250-350 kbps area, do better headphones improve sound quality (or at least not take away from it) or will I not notice a difference. If you do think I should get better headphones, could you recommend a brand or model, I know Sennheiser has a good reputation, and people say good things about their headphones.
Answer
Audio Technica ATH-M50 are the best headphones you can buy that wont leave you homeless. but you'll need a portable headphone amp, otherwise it's like driving a car with a lawnmower engine. i recommend a Fiio E6, very small yet effective. keep it on the "blue" setting though, the red setting makes the bass muddy and the purple setting is for high wattage stuff and will just kill your volume if you use it with an ipod.
