iPods let you escape from the world. Panhandlers and street preachers beware; iPods make it easy to ignore you all. While some iPod users love the iconic white headphones, other go out of their way to make sure they get some other style. I can’t blame them either. The hanging white chords scream “MUG ME!” at the top of their lungs.
But getting new headphones for your pod doesn’t mean the quality of your music should suffer. For those with the cash Forbes recomends the Shure EC3. While the sound is excellent and the fit is ever so natural, the cost is on the luxurious side. We are talking $180 which is enough to by another mid-range iPod really. But, can you really put a price on comfort?
