i hear skull candy headphones/ear buds are pretty good. My friend had a pair, not too bad. As for uploading stuff, it can be pretty fast or horribly slow, depends on the mood the software is in. The new Zune program is good, but still has some ways to go. Also, just a tip. Go ahead and download the zune software from zune.net and install it, get your music in it and and videos you might want. That way, on Christmas you just have to plug in your zune to your PC and hit sync, and your set.
