Digital Audio Player

Buy New Headphones

SUMMARY: Cheap headphones can make the best of players sound second-rate.

While many digital audio / portable MP3 players come pre-packaged with a set of headphones (a nice gesture, BTW!), you should invest a few bucks anyway in a nicer set of headphones. While most prepackaged headphones produce decent sound quality, a better set of headphones might result in your digital audio player sounding better than every before.
