Good earbuds for iPod?

(1/2) > >>

Frigo:
So, I recently bought a pair of Sony EX85 earbud-style ear phones off of eBay for what I thought was a good deal. I've been very suspect of buying stuff from hong-kong (aside from computer adapters which work fine), so I found a USA seller who was selling these at a great price. Turns out that he just had product from HK, and was selling it on the cheap, which these earphones definitely were. If they were in fact Sony-made products, I'm very disappointed in their quality and design. If not, well, then I can see why they were so cheap. In any event, I broke them. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for earbud-style earphones that they use for their iPod, as the stock earphones do not fit my ears very well. I don't want to spend a fortune, but I am willing to pay a little extra if the features and quality are worth it. Thanks.

I just broke my gazillionth pair of ear buds so after reading as many reviews as I could find decided to buy a pair of KOSS Portapros portable folding cans instead of another pair of buds. I'm still waiting for them to be delivered from Amazon so I don't know if they live up to the almost too good to be true reviews I have been reading about them and have watched on youtube.

Bottom line, they better sound amazing because they look terrible  ::)

Frigo:
Those definitely look nice, but I'm not sure how they'd handle at the gym, which is where I mainly use my iPod. Still, I may have to consider picking up a pair for use around the house.

I picked up a pair of these Altec Lansing UHS306's from Buy.com when they were about $15 since my iPhone earbuds had died (again).

They are excellent quality.  I'd pay the $25 Amazon is asking now that I know how they feel and how they sound.  I'm very happy with them, and a nice bonus is the wire is quite strong.  The iPhone cables tend to pull and eventually kill one or both of the earbuds.  This is a sort of weaved wire and seems much sturdier overall.

I've always had issues with any earbuds staying in my ear, so I picked up a pair of these:

They sound great and stay put in my ear.  I use them at the gym all the time without issue.
