Yeah but if you're buying those headphones you know you need an amp. I do wonder how hard/expensive it would be to offer this as a configuration option though.

Like if your favorite set is 300 ohms you could just configure your phone with an amp powerful enough to drive them. Or, maybe whatever they do in the MBPs to detect high impedance headphones would also work. I'm obviously out of my depth here.
