iPod in-ear headphones-Worth it?

Depends...

It depends on what exactly you are after. Most consumers think the ipod earbuds are ok, although the reviews aren't stellar in general. You basically get what you pay for, and I the ipod buds are basically a $20 pair of plugs. If you don't use your ipod that much and just like the occasional tune, or if you don't mind a lower quality sound, then the ipod buds should be ok. If you are an audiophile, or if you just listen to your ipod frequently and higher sound quality does make a difference to you, I would suggest some Shure earphones. If your just starting to look into higher quality options, I would suggest starting with the Shure E2c, which you can get at eCost.com for about $60.

Try doing a search in the Forums section. There was a very recent thread about this.

Anyway, I hear that the in ear headphones are loved by some and loathed by others. In the thread, they also recommended some other brands that are a little more expensive, but you miught want to try them out.
