Headphones for iPod.


I found myself laid up for about 6 weeks due to surgery. Right before the surgery I bought an iPod and loaded up all my favorite music. I am really having fun with it, and enjoying the immediate music at any time.

I think I would like to upgrade the headphones though. I find the stock earbuds a little uncomfortable, and I am sure that I can get better quality at a decent price. What recommendations would you make in the $100-150 range? thanks.

Plan A: Shure E3s w/ optional triple flange. Better fit equals better sound!

Plan B: Assuming (hopefully!) that you already have a set of nice full-size cans (e.g. Sennheiser, Grado), spend the $150 on a nice headphone amp (e.g. Headroom, Creek, JMT Audio). Rip your CDs in Apple's Lossless Codec (ALC) and begin to hear a whole new level of performance from your iPod!

Good luck.
