  • If you're looking for superior sound quality, check out Ultimate Ears (www.ultimateears.com) UE10 Pro's. These are the quintessential inear phones out there. 3 separate drivers (low-middle-high) give you all the frequencies you can possibly hear. When properly fitted the highs are crisp and the lows are deeeeeep (for bassheads, these are unrivaled). UE10 Pro's also have an amaizing ability to suppress background noise. Generally, what background noise is heard is a result of sound waves bypassing the ear canal through the skull to the inner-ear. Thus, there's little need to crank up the volume to dangerous levels in order to compete with outside noise. Two notes of caution, they're not easy to come by at~$1,000 a set (with a special visit to the Audiologist, plus 2 weeks to manufacture), and you need proper amplification for the best results. Their low impedence makes them ideal for iPods, but the iTunes EQ falls short. A work around would be to purchase a portable amp, but this contradicts the iPod's simplicity.

    Why the Apple In-Ear Buds Suck (and the Griffin Ear Jams Too), but the Shure E4Cs Rock
  • Shure has long been known to be hi-priced, but mediocre quality. You can find decent quality and nice comfort for $$ in a pair of good Sony in-ear phones. The cables are more than a bit annoying though and tend to tangle at every opportunity. But if you really want superior sound quality and comfort, then I advise you to seriously check out ULTIMATE EARS. I have a pair of UE10 Pros and they are in a pardigm of their own. They are $$$$, require a special visit to an Audiologist, and take about a week to manufacture to a custom fit, but once you have them everything else is child's play. Low imependce helps your battery if your using an iPod, and the better the amplification, the better the sound quality. UE also sells lower priced, one-size-fits-many "Super.fi" in-ears that sound wonderful too.
