Experience with portable "mp3" devices


In my experience I've found the sound in most portable devices, well shoddy at best. In searching the web the only device associated loosely with the word audiophile is the Creative Zen line including the Stone Plus.

Please help !!! At the gym I am currently being subjected to the likes of Hannah Montana and Kelly Clarkeson played through muzak and reaching my ears through 5 1/2 inch universal driver.

Any advise so I can make a timely decision is very welcome !

I love my iPod. I use apples lossless encoding and iGrado headphones, by Grado. (I realize that " by Grado" may have been obvious.) They stay on your head when you're active, sound pretty good to. They do not block out the ambient noise, but you can hear people talk to you while you listen to music if you want, or turn them up a bit. They are only $50 too!
