ipod classic or ipod touch screen?

I shake my head at these people every day :)

I bike everywhere, Copenhagen is perfect for that. I never listen to music when I bike contrary to 70%, it´s insane! People even text and listen to music when biking here. I also wear an enormously silly looking helmet, but that´s because I have worked with (neurorehabilitation) people suffering traumatic brain injuries from say bike, MC or car accidents.

It´s strictly for use in public transportation. Where the ability to cancel out other people talking loudly and privately, is crucial for me. Cell phone jammers are illegal here, sigh.

I found the CX300 and more recently Klipsch Image 10's were fine with the iPod's built-in amp. Good sound isolation which meant lower volume/output needed from the iPod amps. Good quality mobile sound. At home the sound was less acceptable with Grado 80i and more recently the LCD-2's, which are less sensitive. The benefits of a decent headphone amp connected via the dock socket are clear to hear in my opinion.
