Just bought a new Ipod.

[terp]

count me as someone who's glad my ears don't appreciate sound this good...i like my regular ipod

[prodonkey]

I hate those earbud things, my ears are too big.. with no curve to hold them.

Seriously.. who would cart all that crap around to listen to an ipod. I bet you don't get really good bass you can feel out of those earbuds.. why not add a 10" subwoofer.

Props to the OP, that is really cool IMO.

Don't really know why people would hate on you for this... You're spending a lot of extra money to enjoy some better sound quality from a music player, no harm done.

My dad subscribes to Audiophile magazine and has a jillion dollar set of speakers. I have had a lot of ear training as a classical and jazz musician so I can hear a significant difference between that system and your $300 set of speakers from Best Buy. But I still cannot tell the difference between a performance of Brahms' 4th on a top-notch system that costs a jillion dollars and a 2nd-tier system that costs half a jillion dollars that most audophiles wouldn't be caught dead listening to.

In sum, audiophiles are annoying.

Very well put! I'd rather spend the extra money on hookers and blow.

Ipods do sound like [censored] with their bundled earphones. I'm looking to get a set of Shure E420s or whatever is the step down from the highest quality.

But at first I thought you were building an Ipod bomb OP, not cool.

Getting some nice headphones is understandable and standard imo, but this $1600 macgyver [censored] so you can pretend you notice or care about the difference is just pure audio-snobbery.

try to take that thing through airport security, and then provide TR. LOL

Surely for 1.6k there are better options than what is pictured in pic2?
