I know you said it will make both sound better. But if freezing just the headphones works well then there is no chance of harming your player if you dont need to freeze it. So everybody please post rather you have frozen both or just the player.
I'll tell you right now, you're looking through the wrong shrubbery. Freezing your headphones -will- help, but that doesn't mean "its only something to do with your headphones"! Anything you freeze will help your sound. But only doing the headphones is not going to have as much of an impact obviously. If you're nervous about wrecking your hardware, you shouldn't try it. I'm not, and I will repeat the fact that I have put many
players and every audio component you could imagine through the Big Freeze process, and I was -not- careful like Lattesurf. I never put anything in plastic bags, I never opened the players up to let them air dry, and I never even checked to see if they were turned off. I never had a problem (except once when I froze a chipod and needed to turn it on before it had completely thawed, and while it was still a little cold. The buttons weren't operating 100%, so I just left it thaw out a bit more).

Then we will see what is most likely working better. I might even take 2 of my chipods and just freeze 1 of them and 1 pair of headphones but plug the frozen headphones into the unfroze player and the unfroze headphones into the frozen player.
Sure, try that. Experimentation is a fun way to learn about the process. If you do, be sure to let us know what you discovered.

Then see which sounds better. By the way we are all crazy!. :lol:
I would have to respectfully disagree with you on that. I'm not crazy. But if wanting to improve your sound and getting more enjoyment out of the music is crazy, then I'm a raving lunatic! (And if you think this idea is crazy? You have -no- idea what crazy is, because its one of the most rational audio performance improvement ideas that I indulge in! At least with this idea, I can tell people who require rational-sounding explanations for everything... "Well it changes the crystalline structure in the metals that was deformed during the manufacturing process blah blah blah...)
