Getting back into some RATM

I'm going to bed

this response deserves a response.

anyway, i have since downloaded every single mp3 of RATM's that i've been able to find.

all the tracks from renegades, ratm, evil empire, the battle of la, and a few from live&rare. although a lot of it sounds similar (duh, most bands are like this), pretty much all of it's good-great...and certainly good for a workout, of course. nothing i don't like thus far. probably have 15-20 tracks that i haven't properly listened to. played some on my 10k run this afternoon.

unfortunately, my fucking ipod's headphone jack is starting to fuck up. contact must be loose, or the conductive film is wearing thin in one spot, because the left channel is dead most of the time (works for a while when i fidget with it, but when running...cuts out soon.) :(

just ordered a new ipod nano 8gb (black, of course). :)

I just got a 30 gig Creative Zen vision M, and it rocks. Too big though.

word, the small form factor and weight of the nano is key for my running pleasure.

there are probably other options which are just as good (practically speaking) and cheaper, but i don't have the patience and i'm a bit of a brand whore.
 
what do you fellas run for headphones on your nanos? i got this sony wrap aroung ear deal, that has a short line, which is what i want, wear it on the bicep.

whats good for runnning and sound quality?
 
They put me through many a workout.

I blew the speakers on my boom box.

i have a pair of Koss KSC35s, and i've used them for about 2 years. they were discontinued and then brought back, but i don't see them on Koss's website right now (www.koss.com). there's a newer version, which i also have but don't use, called the KSC75. they're supposed to have the same drivers as the KSC35, but with a slightly different look. i prefer the older KSC35s because they are a bit lighter and stick out less from the side of my head. i've used the hell out of 'em and they are great for working out because of the ear-clip design (never come off, if they've been fit on the ear properly) and the relatively good sound. many people will recommend them for portable listening.

here's the KSC75:

and if you'd like to do more research on headphones, earphones, etc...this is the place:

they're all nutty about sound quality, and just about any other facet of audio equipment you might care about (with a focus on headphones).
