My only counter to your review: The earbuds. As earbuds go, I think the included Seinheiser earbuds were actually very good. In fact, next to the Fontopias, I think they are the best sounding earbuds I've come across.

Now, if you try to compare any old earbud to regular headphones, they will always come up short. Aside from the Fontopias, what other earbuds have you tried which sounded better than the Seinheisers?
