Like many, I was a bit upset over the iPhone's recessed headphone port; it seemingly made it impossible to use most existing headphones with the iPod. However, I was able to modify my headset's connector such that they now plug in perfectly. Basically, my headphone's connector had a small ring of plastic near the base; I snipped it off with a utility knife. This only took about a minute, and it seemed like a relatively safe modification. (Of course, my headphones have a replaceable cord, so if I messed up, I knew I could repair the damage.)
