Try the Bose MEI2. They do have the iPod controls. These are the best sounding and best fitting ear buds I have ever tried, and I have tried many. They are $129, though. Well worth it if you use your butts as much as I do and expect quality sound.

For everyday use, phone calls, listening to audio books etc. I really think the earbuds that come with any iPhone or ipod Touch for $35 (replacement cost) are hard to beat. The work extremely well, the remote works extremely well and I had more people complaining about the sound quality with the $130 Jawbone ERA bluetooth headset. I also rarely had problems with them breaking unless I accidently dropped the earbud in the sink when it was hanging around my neck, I wonder what you do to break them in 3 months, they are not emergency shoe laces and also do not double as a dog leash... just saying *smile*. By the way, if you have purchased the extended Apple care, earphones are covered if they don't work because of bad connection at the jack or the earbuds etc. Not sure if they replace them every 3 months, but they did specifically tell me that when they tried to talk me into buying the Apple Care plan. If you do find some which allow you to still hear your environment and which you find are of better quality don't forget to share it with the list.
