Good accessories for Ipods?

I have some pretty decent headphones for my iPod: The standard Apple In-Ear Headphones. They aren't the best there is but they'll do and, even though they retail for like $50 (a pretty high price for what they are, to be honest), you can find them new on eBay for under $16 shipped. I ordered 2 pairs for myself just in case.

Also, since I can't listen to the headphones all the time, I also bought a boombox. It's not the drastic step that is a whole stereo upgrade would be but with bigger speakers it definitely boosts the sound of your music. I myself have an Altec Lansing IM7 and I keep it in my classroom where it receives the bulk of its use. It has exceptional sound, adjustable bass & treble controls and a remote to do all of this with. The only downside is its retails price but I wager you can do what I did and score one on eBay for less than $125. If that seems like a high price to pay, there's plenty of other alternatives to suit your taste and/or budget. Shop around, you'll eventually settle on something that's right.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You either don't know how to use them or you haven't actually used them. They have better bass quality than the stock headphones but they're not as comfortable since you have to shove them into your ear canal. Some people are OK with that and others aren't; it's a matter of taste from that point on.

See, those in-ear headphones are kind of like a set of trunk subwoofers. They're installed behind the backseat of your car and they use the trunk of your car as their resonance chamber.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
