The reviewers do like the Sonys a lot. The Apple store didn't have Sonys to try. My main need was for comfort and it's hard to beat over-ear headsets. Those Sonys are typical of cushioned on-ear sets and they usually have to fit too snugly for long duration comfort for me. I got the B&O because I listened critically for the first time in a long time- I used to be heavy duty into Stereo HiFi years ago. Now that I've reached old fart age, I've not lost sound volume, just sound clarity at times.. The B&O set is clear as can be.

The above sound so good I'm going to give these a try:

<$50 if you look around:

amazon.com

I'm just a little worried my iPod doesn't have enough power to drive them. I might try another version reputed to be more efficient.
I bought these headphones on your recommendation, and I like them a lot. They sound great, nice balance of treble, midrange and bass, they fit comfortably on my ears even after a few hours of use and I dare say, they're even stylish. I'm no audiophile, but I am impressed with them, especially for the cost.

I believe your iPod should work well with them. The packing mentions that they work with iPhone and iPod, so I'd be surprised if you ran into any issues there.

Searching for good headphones online is no fun for me, and you took the tedium out of the equation. Thanks Doren!

OT: The $60 Sony MDR-ZX600 do sound better than the $30 Sony MDR-V150s, but not that much better. I'll probably use the 600s on occasion but I've gotten all my 150s for $20... so I don't have to worry about damaging or losing them or sweating on them when I'm bike riding. The difference is so small its nearly negligible. I find that the bit/khz rate I listen to matters more.
