On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
a pair of Sennheiser CX 300 earbuds for all my iPods
More info: Sennheiser
Available from: Amazon
Price: £20.99
Although the updated earbuds supplied with the second-gen nano and 5.5-gen iPod are better than the original Apple earbuds, they're still pretty awful. Climbing on the bus with Apple's signature white wires trailing down your front tells fellow commuters that you a) don't care how your music sounds and b) don't care whether you get mugged. Upgrading to Sennheiser's decent but reasonably priced CX 300 earbuds solves both problems, improving the sound and making it less obvious that you're toting an iPod. Sony's MDR-EX71SL earbuds in black or (sigh) white are another good alternative.
