I have many thoughts/opinions about which headphones are good and bad (being able to withstand weather is a big part of the mix, if you're committed to this daily) but I will take that offline. Bad headphones or earbuds = nonimmersive listening, in my experience.

This approach saved my butt, literally, as it enabled me to lose some serious poundage I needed to, and it also builds in time to give the stuff I want (and need to) a good deep listen. When I am reviewing something, I can listen to a whole disc on back to back to back days.

Anyway, that's how I deal with the same issue. It's even more efficient when I walk, listen to the iPod, and have a couple of our greyhounds with me, too–so I am exercising *them* on top of it.
