This is the thread I think you should have posted in.
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trave...earphones.html as there is a lot of interesting discussion on this topic.
I chose Klipsch and Ultimate Ears. I use the Klipsch for daily use as they offer great sound and comfort. And it has the inline Ipod control to skip songs, or change the volume.
But I want to really rock out, Ultimate Ears is the best. Works great with classical music too.
