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.
