If you're after good quality audio and don't mind the price, go with Shure E2C or Etymotic E6i although these might be too bulky in the pocket and maybe not the best for "active" use (shouldn't get sweat in the E2C & heavy cord creates harmonics issues when bouncing around). Yahba Opus aren't bad, plus a bit cheaper than the Sony EX71 and the sound isn't as muddy but the fit and finish seems lacking in comparison. Haven't listended to the Sony EX81 yet. Koss Plugs are also great value, usually around $15; light weight and good sound isolation--these are my gym 'phones. You might want to skim the ipod message boards (e.g., ipodlounge.com) for reviews or headwize.com
