I don't see how you can EQ a 250 Ohm headphone like the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro off an iPhone and have it sound at all acceptable, but I'm not an audio engineer.−pmh12yEQ won't help if you can't actually power the cans and in nearly all cases, won't help with noise or distortion due to the source.For many mobile sources, you'll really want one for 250 Ohms. The HD558s by comparison are really low impedance.An EQ can certainly help make your headphones sound more "interesting" or "better" though.
