Hi everybody i'm new in this forum...and i've just get a new iPod :D
it's awsome! :D

BTW...my problem is this:
I've also bought a new pair of earphones
Sony MDR-EX51LP
(http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/SY_DisplayProductInformation-Start;sid=zATszSdCklTsTmYq85vmxmhSmFitqZq_0Fs=?Pro ductSKU=MDREX51LP&Dept=acc&CategoryName=acc_Headphones_Fontopia%2e%2fEarbud)
but i've noticed that, after 10~ mins of listening, a beautiful headhache comes...

I'm a little bit disappointed..cause i've bought them for nothing!

Anyone had this kind of problems?
Any suggestion maybe?

Thanx a lot..and see you soon!
;)

Where's your volume set at? Give us a rough percentage.

well...with the ipod's volume unlocked and with standard earphones i'm used to keep the volume at 60/70%

With those in-ear headphones i never go over the 50%
But i've also tried to keep the vlume lower....but the problem persist.

:(
thx
bye!

That doesn't seem too loud. I doubt it's a volume issue. I'd say that you're having some adverse reaction to the presence of a foreign object in your ear canal, but the EX51 barely goes into the ear, so I doubt that's it.

Has this been happening over a period of a few days or was it just a couple of times? It could've just been a coincidence. Maybe it's psychosomatic?

Noise can certainly cause headaches. I suppose it's possible that a specific frequency the EX51 might exaggerate is doing it... who knows.
