I got on the iPod bandwagon back in September of 2002 - literally the day the PC iPod's came out and have upgraded as each generation has come out (via Best Buy's 4 year PSP program -- know how to work the system and life is sweet), though I got the 60 GB video for my birthday in 2005 and the nano as part of my Audible.com membership (and I love that I can use it with the Nike shoe insert). It's not THE BEST for sound quality, but I love the interface and the design, and a pair of $200 Shure earbuds makes it sound pretty freaking awesome.

I, too, had a 40GB 3G iPod from Best Buy that I recently traded up to an 80GB model - coincidentally, also with a pair of Shure e3c's. Audiophile earbuds really do make up for some of the general "lossiness" you get with mp3. To my ears, though, the sound quality isn't dramatically worse than, say, a stock FM car stereo. I guess it's just a matter of what your ears are accustomed to.
