Default Buzz in iPod earbuds?

So I was working on a mix. And i had it sounding nice both through my monitors and studio headphones. But when I went to listen to it on my iPod, the earbuds made this sort of subtle buzzing/rattling noise at certain parts, such as kick and tom hits. I'm pretty sure it's because I have too much low end going, but I had already rolled off the lows on the master out at around 60Hz. Any thoughts on this? It's bugging me a lot.

Thanks!

No they work fine...its very SUBTLE like I said. For example I listen to other music on the same earbuds and it's fine. Just when I listen to one of mine, I get the buzz.

Try rolling off everything under 120Hz and see if that fixes the problem. Obviously, this won't sound good, but it may make it easy to pinpoint the problem.
