I know it sounds crazy to pay more for the headphones than for the device, but these are like nothing I ever heard. When I first listened to them, I kept touching my ears to make sure they were really in there, and the sound I was hearing was coming out of them. It sounded like I had a vast, music-filled airspace surrounding my head. Like I said, incredible.
And, you should not be surprised at all to discover that the earbuds that come with most devices (even expensive, supposed "quality" players like the iPod) are total shit. Manufacturers generally allocate less than 1% of the production cost of such devices to the headphones -- they are regarded as "disposable" "...and not a significant contributor to the perceived sound quality of the (player)..." -- LUDICROUS!
