Steve, I tested both the iPhone and MPB both on the train and at home, with similar results.
Downloading the EQ 10 app for the iPhone and fiddling with the sliders has given me a sound that almost matches that from the MBP. A few nights ago I was at my computer editing pix, 10 feet away from a window air conditioner. I put on the 'phones, plugged them in, and all I could hear was the music. Very nice.
