I have used:
Koss, The Plug:
Good bass and very cheap. Compressed foam harder to get back in your ear if you need to remove to talk to someone. Not very durable. Tend to fall out towards the end of my workouts. I sweat a LOT.
Etymotic ER-6s
Awesome sound. Replaceable filters to catch all the ear gook that kills some others. Not too loud though. I can max my iPod's volume and not blow my ears out. Excellent sound isolation from outside noise.
Sony MDR-EX71SL:
Very good sound. Short cord is great for upper torso/arm mounted Shuffle at the gym. Durability better than Koss, but not as good as Etys. Price is between the other two as well.
I now primarily use the Sonys. The short cord is what I like. I clip the Shuffle to the collar of my shirt when I workout and place the cord behind me. Stays out of the way.
