Any half decent pair of earbuds will do, as long as they are the in-ear type. I picked up a pair from Tesco for £15 that do the job for me!

After going through a few different pairs, I settled on a pair of Bose triport ie.
Lovely sound although not isolating. Clear bass and great top end. To my ears they sound pretty transparent too

I have a pair of M-Audio earphones that are high quality and give a lot of isolation. Used them as in-ear monitors with a Trantec wireless monitoring system. Cost about £50.

I've been using a pair of Sound Magic PL30s for in ear monitoring and also silent practice at home...in both cases the sound is superb to my ears. They have a really clear and faithful presentation of what's being put through them and bass is warm but clear, certainly not wooly in any way! Only cost about £30 when I bought them...PL50s are also meant to be amazing!

Worth a look I'd say...

If I were you I'd consider stretching the budget a touch and looking at some Etymotic Research HF series earphones - I've got a set of the HF3s and they're incredibly well made, fit excellently, and the sound quality and noise reduction is brilliant

For bass I use some fairly cheap £25 Sennheisers from Tesco. They handle the low stuff much better than the £100 Shures I use for singing and guitar. The only problems I've had are when I play bass and sing - they don't handle both frequencies well, and the vocals tend to distort. They also don't seal that well - I find myself having to push them into my ears inbetween songs. I should really get some decent custom moulds but there's always something more interesting to spend the money on!

The best I've had were a pair of ultimate ears triple.fi 10, seriously nice sounding, very hi-fi, also, superb reduction in background noise when I had 'em in right! They were as good as my ear-plugs!

They're about £100 ish and I'd heartily recommend them if you've got the cash to do it

My whole band use Shure SE215's - nice sound and price point!! (I dont work for Shure) lol

Save up and go for the Etymotics, I use ER4p and they are very very good indeed, the HF range are good too.

In-ear canal, single armature designs rely on a solid seal in the ear canal to provide their bass response, the Etymotic plugs are variable and very secure.

Shures are good at this too, but I prefer the ER4s.

You're always going to get a range of answers. I'm quite picky about my headphones, especially in-ear, but I found [url="http://jaben.net/shopping2/Hippo_VB.html"]these[/url] to be top notch. They're highly recommended by a lot of 'audiophiles' and the company from which you can purchase them from are great. Broke mine accidentally recently (was running through the house and they got caught on something and an ear piece tore completely clean off!) but a quick e-mail to Jaben and they replaced them... for free!
