My earbuds broke yesterday. I was using some fairly good Phillips, but found the wires are fragile. The first thing you find out about buying an iPod is to toss the earbuds it comes with. They are worthless. Plug in a new pair and you will find yourself turning the volume down by at least half.

I did some research on the web and one set (Shure E4C, if you must know) always came up on everyone's list above the rest. So I decided to get those because I have a bit of extra money right now.

I realized this morning I just spent 1/2 of what I spent on the iPod itself...
