I need ipod accessory help

Okay, I'm gonna need a cover of some sort to keep this thing nice, ideally w/o adding bulk, and some better headphones. Any recommendations?

1. I agree the headphones that come with the ipod are not good ...

to me they don't have enough BASS . You can find covers and accesories here at these sites :

2. For better headphones, get some Sony Fontopia earbuds...

3. I had some sony earbuds with really good bass before

(I used 'em with my Minidisc player) but for some reason I didn't think of those. Glad you reminded me, for some goofy reason Apple packaged white earphones with my black ipod. Certainly a questionable style decision even if the things sounded good (and they don't.)

4. Even with a white iPod, I wouldn't wear the white headphones...

I find them kind of obnoxious, haha. Plus, I wouldn't want to advertise that I have $300+ worth of electronics in my pocket, haha. But those Fontopias are great. Comfortable as hell, and amazing sound quality.

5. Exactly, the white earphones scream "rob me"

and since I'm a small female in an iffy neighborhood, that's not good.

I know they're a bit expensive, but that is an insider tip from my best friend who builds world-famous loudspeakers.

And they won't collect earwax! ;)

On edit: They look quite strange if you wear them walking around I have to admit. Otherwise, Sony has some good ones ...

7. A little bulkier than I'm looking for.

I need something I can wear on the bike path at the park, then stuff in my pocket when it's time to ride in traffic or go in a store. Thanks your for the reccomendation though, I'll keep it in mind if I decide to get headphones for use at home (not a bad idea, considering how much noise LK makes.)

8. A friend of mine has a pair of those (or similar ones)...

He's a DJ and swears by them.
