I am thinking of taking the plunge and getting a portable mp3 player.
I assume that the first thing I will want to do will be to swap out
the little "earbuds" for a decent set of headphones.

I wonder if anyone could suggest a lightweight and reasonably durable
upgrade? I listen mostly to jazz and indie rock, and in this context
obviously do not expect audiophile-quality sound.

At the local audio store they seem to favor a range of modestly priced
Sennheisers, but I wonder if there are better choices?

Check out Futuresonics earphones and Shure E-3s.

Grado SR 60 or SR 80 headphones should be ideal for you.
