So basically, if you buy a new Shuffle and you lose the headphones or they break, you need to shell out for new Apple earphones (overpriced), or the Apple in-Ear buds (very overpriced), or shell out for 3rd party phones that have support for Apple's system.
If you buy a new Nano and you want to use the radio, you have to be using their Apple phones, again.

I hadn't heard that. 
I only like my Jensen clip-to-the-ear rubber headphones (for comfort).
