B&O A8 earphones
Bang & Olufsen A8

B&O make arguably the best quality audio equipment on the market. I have listened to these, and they are hands down the best sound you can get from a digital music player. But they are not cheap - $160 give or take. You can buy them used, in fact Amazon and Ebay usually have some for sale.

Be careful buying them on Ebay. This is not widely publicized, but there are a lot of fake A8s around. If you choose to buy used, be sure to check they have an original receipt to prove they are originals – Do not buy them if the seller cannot prove they are genuine. They fit differently from the others on this list, but are superb sound quality.

I gave my set to my wife. I much prefer my FutureSonic Buds with iPhone switch/microphone.

THOSE ARE SWEET! i love the volume on the call switch!

The sound from the UB7's are fantastic. Very good on noise isolation also. I cut my grass with these and can't hear the mower.

I also have a set of FutureSonic FS1 UB7's with iPhone cable and volume control. They are compatible with the new iPod shuffles and the 3G S and are probably about the best sounding ear buds you can pick up that are 100% compatible with the new shuffle and the 3G S. I really like the sound they put out. Hell they almost sound just as good as my Ultimate Ears SuperFi 5Pro's and they have the bass of the SuperFi 5 Extended Bass model but it's not an overpowering bass it's a perfect mixture.

I've seen these on the net here and there and have wondered how they sound. They look well built.

I have to say i really enjoy them. very good treble extension great sparkle without being fatiguing. Good low end and punch, details are great i hear things i didnt know were in the song lol. The only small flaw is the mid's/vocals are just a tad recessed not much though. Im waiting on some new tips to come in though and soon im gonna go um56 customes, they just make a custom tip for the 3's. Ive listened to them upwards of 4 hours at a time and dont even know they are there.

Ultimate Ears 700s. No controls, just excellent sound.

I use one of these adapters and use my home headphones. Pretty sweet for me

I like my SuperFi 5 extended bass plugs. If I want less bass I just go to the EQ.

I want to know how the Klipsch S4i are.

When are they coming out?
