There must be something wrong with my ears. Those earphones that came with my iPod don't fit. So I went out and got the in ear plugs. And they only stay in for about 23 seconds before they slide out enough so that I don't get good bass. So while I get to floss my iPod on the train like other peeps, I'm not really enjoying it. I could get other earphones, but part of the coolness of having the iPod is having the white earplugs so that everyone knows you have the iPod. Then you can nod to the other iPeeps while commuting like you're in a special club.
