audio bliss
I'm currently listening to "Upward Over the Mountain" by Iron and Wine on my new iPod headphones. The in-ear ones, as opposed to the standard earbuds that come with it. Dang. They fit pretty snugly, so they do a great job of blocking outside noise, and the quality is just to die for. I'm talking this is at least as good as my surround sound at home.
I also got a car charger for the thing, so I can listen to music for more than 8 hours at a stretch while on the go. This is important, because in 4 hours and 37 minutes, I will be deparating Chattanooga for Pennsylvania, where I will be seeing my family and a friend I haven't seen for months. I will be driving back Sunday afternoon. Obviously, having the iPod crap out midway through Virginia like it did last time is simply not acceptable. Now we're good to go.
I got some of those earphones, and like you, I was impressed with the quality, but I couldn't get the damn things to stay in my ears so I sent them back. I mean, th eslightest tug makes them come out of your ears unless you're completely still. Do you not have that problem?
