before i bought my ipod i heard constant moans about the sound quality and volume and i must admit, i wasn't bowled over when i actually began to use it myself, although i thought it was manageable.
anyway, for what its worth i bought a pair of sennheiser phones for £29 (just the normal pair - same size as ipod ones) and the difference is incredible - quality is as good as you'd ever need and the volume is suddenly twice as loud. the pair i bought also have a tiny volume control on them which i find very convenient - saves having to fish the ipod out your pocket.
anyway, sorry for stating the bloody obvious, but thought it was worth mentioning..!
