LOL, it seems like this is the fourth time in the past week or two this
discussion has come up.
There is rarely "agreement" on headphones, but there is a general
consensus on the following hierarchy of earbuds:
1) Etymotics ER4S or ER4P (S for use with a headphone amp, P for use
directly from a portable). Not only the best earbud available, but one of
the best headphones of any design. $269
2) Sony MDR-E888. Not nearly as good as the Etymotics, but clearly better
than anything else. $69
3) A close race: Sony EX70 (around $35) and Sennheiser MX500 ($20). The
EX70 has much better isolation (more of a "plug" type) and better bass,
but the Sennheiser supposedly has better overall sound (but no isolation).
These phones cover most price ranges and, IMHO, there is no reason to buy
anything else. Stay away from Koss' "The Plug" which sound simply
terrible compared to the earbuds listed above.
Also, you may want to consider Koss KSC/35 instead of earbuds -- for
$20-$30 you'll get better sound than any earbuds but they Etymotics. They
clip onto each ear, so they're sort of in between earbuds and standard
headphones.
