I use the Koss Sparkplugs. They sound decent, they're comfortable, and
best of all, they're under $10.  Since headphones always break, or get
lost, I'm happy to find something satisfactory that costs about as
much as a trip to a sandwich shop.  They come with a couple different
sized foam earpieces, and you give them a little twist to compress
them before sticking them in your ears.  They block outside noise
enough -- 6 to 10 dB by my unscientific measure -- that you can listen
to music at a lower volume and still hear it.

I'm sure the Shure $100 plugs sound fantastic, but probably not 10
times as good. The Koss sound good enough that they don't get in the
way of the music.  Enough is as good as a feast, says I!

And please folks, protect your hearing. Turn down your iPods and wear
protection at shows.  Especially in Detroit. Every show I've ever been
to in Detroit has had twice as much sound as you'd see in Iowa, and
it's a wonder the whole city doesn't have tinnitus.
