Sure I understand. I got my son a really really nice pair of Sony earbuds ($100 variety) for his ipod. I plugged them into my ipod and heard all kinds of things I never heard before in recordings that I've listened to for 35 years.
The thing is, I'm kicking myself for getting HIM those earbuds when I now can't justify the expense of a second pair for myself. Knowing that I'm not going to run out and smack down that much money for another pair, doesn't lessen my enjoyment of the music however. Tom C. >From: "J. C.
