Good accessories for Ipods?

A high quality pair of IEMs would completely blow away the KSC75s or Portapros and many other lower-priced supra or circumaural headphones. And they certainly are not the best headphones under $300, I'll tell you that right now. Perhaps under $50, maybe. That's not to say that the KSC75's and Portapros are bad, because they certainly aren't, and they're definitely better than the stock iBuds at any rate, which I agree should be replaced immediately.

Anyway, my definition of "iPod accessory" is probably a little different than most people's. I recommend getting a line out cable and a good amplifier, perhaps something from HeadRoom or Ray Samuels. Then get a nice pair of in-ear monitors to top it all off.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

My iPod plays FLAC files... and OGG, MPC, and several other formats. But that's an issue for a whole other thread.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Except for the fact the ear canal resonances associated with IEMs are usually around the 6-8kHz range. And in general, any kind of resonance is considered to be a bad thing in audio because is means a frequency is being amplified above other frequencies.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
