Thanks! Will do!

Just ordered the S500s from Amazon! Excited! but annoyed. It says the estimated delivery is April 19 - May 10 . Oh well, I guess ordering from Japan takes a while... I have an iPod Nano. Should I just use the 3.5mm port on it, or get one of those 30-pin connector to 1/8" things? brand?

Yeah, I was planning on doing the pad mod after reading some threads about it. Should I go with the AKG k518 or the ATH-ESW9 pads?

Looked up a few reviews of the S500, I think I'll go with them. For $60 (with shipping) I've read they're pretty nice. This is really my first pair of "actual" headphones. Any suggestions about burn in or anything else I need to know? Thanks a lot for the time and effort you've put into helping...

Sorry, I guess I did the typical noob thing :( posting without thoroughly researching. IEM or on-ear I don't have much of a preference there. I like a well presented, crisp treble and I prefer not to have the bass overpowering, but I don't mind a little extra as long as it doesn't get muddy or...

I would like to buy a nice (at least as nice as you can get <$100) set of cans. I don't really care whether in-ear or over-ear. I mainly listen to instrumental/classical music (ex. ThePianoGuys, Beethoven, Mahler). Right now I am using a pair of Apple earbuds (ick) and I am really getting tired...
