I have a pair of Shure and the Sennheiser MM200 Bluetooth, both seal the ear canal to reduce ambient noise and improve bass response. Recommend either, but I use the BT mostly for the wireless convenience and phone function.
Some headphone enthusiasts I asked previously about ear buds and their current favorites gave the Monster Turbines a thumbs up. They can be found for about $50. Personally I think Monster took an earbud and on the other side put one of their RCA ends on it and gave it a fancy name but they really gave the Turbines the thumbs up.
Another set of earbuds that were recommended were the Shure E3Cs. Very good-sounding (a bit warm) and the price was very easy on the wallet at around $65. Also the Shure 420 but you would have to look for bit to find them around $100.
I have the klipsch s4 buds. These fit in the ears and seal easily and securely, and are very solid performers and a very good value I would say. The tight seal may take some time to get used to but I have no problem falling asleep with these in these days although they were a tad uncomfortable to leave in at first. Also the cord is highly microphonic so perhaps not the best choice to listen to if in motion.
