Yeah, I usually buy new headphones with any device. Ear buds don't fit in my ears, as I have cauliflower ears. The lone exception are the Beats headphones that came with my HTC Rezound. They're pretty awesome.
You could do it. Just start with 1/4 mile. Then, run a 1/2 mile. Continue with a 1/2 mile for a while. Then, when that becomes easy, run a 3/4 mile, or even a mile. Do a mile for a while. Then, add a 1/2 mile for a 1 1/2 mile run. As the runs get easier, keep adding a 1/4 or 1/2 mile. After a while, you'll be up to 2, then 3, then 4, or even 5 miles.

Keep in mind that you are not racing against anyone. Your times are personal to you. Don't overdo it, though. Listen to your body. If your legs begin to say, "Uncle," then stop, stretch, etc. There'll be another day. The trick to running is to start, and to do it consistently -- maybe 3 or 4 times per week. If you're not running, you can substitute other types of cardio exercises. I also do P90X routines.
