You're probably 100% right, but in the end, if no one buys into it, it'll be the last time. The truth is, as someone noted previously (either here or on Digital Home Thoughts) most people are perfectly happy with the included earbuds, so for a good chunk of the population, this discussion means nothing. If you already own $200 headphones, there's a good chance you won't be plugging them into a Shuffle anyway.

There is a target market for the Shuffle. If you don't like it or something about it, it may not be for you. That's how I look at all Apple products in general.
