Ohhh, just incase the specs are iPod Video, black, 60gb

sorry to tell you this, but all black ipods come with WHITE headphones. there are no black ipod headphones that ship that i know of. if you want black headphones there are always the Shures.

All Apple headphones are white.

There are plenty of 3rd party black headphones though - that was the standard color before the iPod came on the scene. I'm using a black pair of Sonys as I type this.

Black is ugly and what everyone else uses.

I don't think black is ugly... actually I think its quite a nice change from the traditional black. I also say this because I work with charcoal often, and well its easier to keep clean... perhaps a good iPod skin will be in order. I also think its very sharp. I think black is coming back!

The sure headphones look good. The sure E4C's look sharp! I just want a good set to also use in the office, and would prefer a comfortable pair to wear for a good length of time, without damaging my hearing.

i have tried out the e3c, the e4c and the e5c. personally, the e3cs were perfect for me. sure the e5cs are the top pro line in ears, BUT for a lot less money i got the e3cs (black) and there are just VERY VERY slight sound quality differance between the three i tried. NOT enouph to shell out the 500 bucks. between the e3cs and the e4cs, eh, only if your super super picky on sound quality or just GOTTA have the creme a la creme. id go for the e3cs. better on the folded skin and just as good as the e4cs. as for the e1/2cs, theyre a joke to listen with

I've got a black Nano and my Sony MDR-EX71's just weren't cutting it for me anymore, so I ordered Etymotic ER-6i's, which used to only come in white, but now also come in black. I am pretty satisfied with them, and they're on Buy.com for less than $100. (The list is $149.)

I second the e3cs! :)
