Two great earbuds are Koss "The Spark Plug" or "The Plug" (depending on the model) and Skullcandy Smoin' Buds.
They are both in-the-ear models and also good noise reduction.
Koss is available locally and on the web for about $20. Amazon has them for $10. Skullcandy is a little more.
If you want to try eBay, several people are selling hybrids of both models: the basic earbuds plus Etymotic ER4 eartips. The ER4 tips block out more noise and fit better than the originals.

I presently have the off-the-shelf Koss "The Plug" and they are GREAT for the price. The bass is heavy and the midrange and highs are crisp. If you don't like thumping bass, just close the rear ports with clear tape. My Apple earbuds are in the bottom of a drawer now.
