Does anyone use an Ipod EQ setting to improve the E5 sound. If so, what setting ?

From time-to-time I will use one of the following EQ settings with my iPod and Shure E5's:
Jazz
Rock
Latin
For 99% of my listening, I leave the EQ off.

I agree with AndyH when he says "I leave the EQ off."
The EQ is not the iPod's strongest point

EQ does muck up the sound but only these days in cases that the adjacent frequencies in the lows are upped too much. Some of the slightly less overpowering EQ settings like the ones AndyH mentioned can pep up the sound of the E5 significantly, especially the Latin (which is basically a shallow U... one of the cardinal sins of audiophilia but what the heck).
im way too jealous of you...e5...maybe one day if i sell my 1st born i could afford a pair...
