And does anyone know where I can get a good pair of headphones to replace my iPod headset, which is already collapsing under the strain of nearly-daily use? I've had it for 3 months, and they're starting to give me static and the bassline cuts out regularly.
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

How big do you want? Do you want earbuds or is it more for travel and such? How much do you want to spend?
The Bose Quiet Comfort are full size active noice cancelling headphones that are truly amazing.
Shure makes earbud style ones that are also amazing.

I've got the Shure ones and will vouch for their amazingness. However, they ain't cheap.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Headphones are something that are worth spending the bucks on, though, especially if you have them in regular use.
Today one of my kiddos was twirling her set by the wires, whilst definitely not practicing her scales. We did a little reprimanding. Heh.

Earbuds are good -- I use the iPod on the bus and for walking & gym time, and headphones would be too much.
How expensive is "not cheap", Jon?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

These are the earbuds I have. $125 shipped, IIRC.

These are the ones I have: [link] $149, available at the Apple store (but not made by Apple). They go into the ear canal, so they cut out almost all external noise, which is good when I'm on the train.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I have the earbuds you can get from the Apple store that come with earpieces in three different sizes. I've liked them, and I'm pretty sure they were cheaper than that.

The Shure buds also come with three different ear pieces, including foamy ones (literally and figuratively!) that you squish into your ear like earplugs.
And the store tommyrot linked to has the Etymotic 6i Isolator (the Apple ones) for $117.
I just noticed that tommyrot's also have foamy buds, so I think either set would satisfy.
