AudioTechnica M50. There's three variants, I went for straight cabled. Great headphones at a sensible point in the endless quality/price line. One of few of this quality that don't need an amp from an ipod.

Kindle. I have a keyboard, I believe that's a specific generation. It doesn't get a lot of use but its so much better than a backlist iPhone.

In general just pay well for things. Low end androids are awful, high end androids and iphone are fantastic. Free isp supplied routers are usually terrible for considerable use. There are a few exceptions, I think the Independent paper is the cheapest of the dailies?
