24.  I have the 5's
Edited on Tue Nov-09-04 04:01 AM by rawtribe
and love them. The 3's get very good reviews. I haven't heard them so I don't know how they compare.

8. But the white earphones are half the fun of having an iPod!
How else will I demonstrate my superiority? :P

4. They aren't that great.
I've lost one of the spongy covers, too. I'd like to buy some nice noise cancelling earphones, but those are pricey.

11. The mini is kind of a bad value.
It's not that much cheaper than the 10GB...which isn't that much cheaper than the 20GB...so, I bought the 20GB. I have TONS of room left and I've got over a day of music on there.

22. At first they felt a little shall we say...invasive?
but they have three different sized covers and once you put them in they stay put with no pain. I walk every morning and it's been a big help.

7. They're the standard ones.
I can't afford the in-ear, but I'll probably pick these up in a couple of days.

21. to color your "regular" ipod
check out iskin covers. You can google it or something, and there's always plenty on ebay. They have tons of colors! Everyone thinks I have a pink ipod

25. Sony MDR-EX51LP = Best earbuds I've ever used.
The Shure e2 and e3 are even better I'm told, but much more costly.

Also: Fuck iPod.
