    I ordered the sony ex81 a couple of days ago, still waiting for delivery. I had the older version the ex71 but they used to slip out of my ears when I am moving around, excellent sound quality thou. I ordered mine from buy.com (cheapest i could find $33 + 5 shipment)

    here is a review: http://www.ipodlounge.com/index.php/reviews/comments/sony-mdr-ex81-earphones-ipod/
    i got the black version ... the whites go with the ipod!

    I used to own a pair of Sennheiser HD 457, and it's very nice indeed. Right now amazon have a couple of great sale on various sennheiser models for under 50 bux. Good Luck.

    I bought a pair of Sony MDR 51 LP's about a year ago and have been very pleased with them. I got my pair for about $30 at amazon.com. They are very good at blocking out external sound and have wonderful response.
