That is a question, do you plan to also make calls with these on? If so, most of the suggestions here won't work unless you buy an adapter.

If it's just for listening (no mic needed), I just ordered some Etymotics ER-6i earbuds. I'll post up a review once I get them. I usually use the Sony earbuds (I forget the model, but they're about $35-$50). I've had three pair, though, and all of them failed in one ear at some point. I'm hoping the ER-6i's are a little more durable.

i have the bose ones and i like them fine. they sound good, but the tips fall off and get lost really easily. so if you get them make sure to spring for some extra tips (they're like $5).

I have a pair of Shure SE210 that are great. I use them on and off the bike. The only times I dont use them are when I actually want to hear outside noise and in those situations I just use my stock iPod earbuds.

damn, i hate to sound not so advanced as far as listening to music, but i just got a set of the "newer" JVC Gumy's and they sound damn awesome, i sure as hell dont need "custom" formed ones to listen to music, for sure have better things to throw money away on

I was told about the "SkullCandy" type just yesterday. A friend used them on a solo mountain run and think they are great for the $$.

For cutting the grass I just use what came with my IPod Shuffle and they work just fine.

IIRC Neebs recommends the Skull Candy ones as well.

True

I have ZERO desire to talk on a phone while on the bike...I check for messages and make calls when I stop and take a break.

I only plan to listen to music and may not even like doing that once I give it a shot.

The phone isn't even a concern when I'm on the bike...too much other chit to worry about imho.
