But step it up a couple notches from the typical OEM/iPod variety.
1. You will get much better (passive) noise-isolation than any on/over ear designs.
2. The higher-end offerings with multiple balanced-armatures sound amazing.
3. Several models to choose from with built-in mics.
4. Less bulky, and obviously way more portable.
5. Most mid-fi+ models come with several "tips" for custom fit (Comply foams are my fav).
6. Some of the higher-end variants even have removable/replaceable cords.
I'd look at Ultimate Ears, Etymotic, Westone, Future Sonics, Jays Audio (q-jays), etc.
You could go the full-custom route as well, and have some seriously good, comfortable earphones. Of course, that route starts at around $500 and goes up from there.
