Actually have you guys given the Nokia headphones that came with the device a go? I spent $200 on a pair of Sony Headphones last year that I *thought* were awesome. I chucked in the ones that came with the device, and there's no comparison they're awesome. The bass is nice and clear, as are the mids and the tops are nice as well.

they're just... really clean sounding. haven't heard more from my songs with any headphones I've owned. I think it's something to do with how far they go in your ears.
