Hi. I've just bought a Graham Slee Voyager, and am already very impressed. I use a not-very fancy cable so far from the headphone out of my ipod video (5G) to the input on the Voyager. The issue though is headphones. I use at home my Sennheiser HD565 Ovations. Quite a few years old but going strong. But when I commute to London one day a week, I took the Voyager this time, but I think it needs better in-ear phones than my Creative ones (that admittedly weren't expensive from Amazon, but were a big improvement over the ipod ones). They sound pretty awful with the Voyager. So I am now thinking where do I start on headphones for travelling? I'm not really comfortable lugging around any over the ear jobs about, so in-ear best for my needs. Isee that SP-30 is well regarded, and seems a fair price. I am not too keen to spend huge amounts. I did see someone the other day in some of those Dr Dre Tour by Monster ones with the red cable (more like £99)...but again not really a red cable kind of guy! I tend to listen to electronic music, like the French duo Air, though all sorts on ipod.

I am also thinking of going down the Russ Andrews GQ-** cable route (forget it's number at moment).

Any advice appreciated, as I guess these in ears phones aren't something you can test before buying!
