    Headphones

    I just joined the ranks of being a proud Ipod owner. After getting it setup and trying it out, I was a bit let down with the stock headphones that came with it. Don't get me wrong, they were okay, but for the type of Music I listen too, there just wasn't enough punch. I also tested some Jazz, and Classical and both of those genre's didn't do the stock headphones much justice either.
    I did some research to find a good set of headphones/earphones. I saw lots and lots of choices, and was really concerned about making the right choice. My first choice was the Sony Fontopia but as I dug deeper, I discovered that there was a large number of people who did not feel comfortable wearing them. Digging deeper and looking over more products, I decieded to go with the Shure E2C as my choice. I should hopefully have these guys by tomorrow. I'll post a product review as soon as I put them to the test.
    Since this is a Ipod thread, what are some of your thoughts on add-ons and stuff for your Ipods?

    $100? That's as much as my player cost! The stock headphones seem just fine for me. I may get a set of these though since I run a lot and the stock phones sometimes jiggle out of my ears.

    Yeah, but you don't have a Teletubbies helmet you need headphones to fit for.

    Although I went with the Zen-touch mp3 player I did mostly the same looking around for ear-buds and did end up picking up those sony one's. Quite, quite nice, coming from one who has always detested using ear-buds before. Having the top rubber section mold to your ear is quite a plus.
