If you're really honestly fond of music, you'd do yourself a world of good by buying an external amp/dac. Fiio and a few other companies make ones specifically for phones that are very, very small and much better than the phones internals.

 

Something like this.

Or

Then install a music player app. The stock ones are lacking.

Either phone will be about the same after that.

If you want good audio with really good stock IEMs, go with one of the new sony walkmans. The beats audio option on the htc one is total bollocks that does nothing but put a crappy v shaped eq on the phone. An HTC One will be a loooot more powerful than a 5th gen ipod touch because the ipod touch hasn't been updated in years and still has crappy iphone 4 specs. If you really care about your music though, and don't want to go through the hurdle that is using the POS called iTunes, just get a sony walkman.

I use an HTC One with the Beats EQ off. Sounds fine to me with everything I've used.
