My earphones are already blown!!!

I just got my iPod on Christmas and have been listening to it at full volume and I didn't even change the eq. Do you guys have any suggestions as to which EQ setting is best for a person like me that likes to listen to their iPod on full blast? BTW does this mean that I can get a new pair of headphones because they blew?(In other words this is still under warranty)

You listen to your iPod at full volume!? Aren't you deaf yet...? Think you should turn it down a bit...

I like my music loud, but not that loud. I use the Rock EQ because it sounds quite good with my music which is mainly metal, heavy metal, and hard rock.

Trying sucking on the front of your earphones (sounds stupid, but do it). This pulls forward a little metal plate within your earphones that seems to get knocked out of position sometimes. There was a thread about it somewhere but i cba to find it.

I really hope you understand that the iPod is the loudest DAP out there, and of all the things you should be doing, listening to any audio player at full volume is not one of them.

The Apple earbuds are crap man, you get what you paid (free).

I would keep the remote and get a new pair of real earphones.
