Sony MDR-EX51LP Fontopia Headphones
I bought a set of these Sony MDR-EX51LP Fontopia Headphones on eBay and they came yesterday. They are definitely worth the price for the quality that you receive. I think I paid less than $30 after shipping costs are included. They fit great in the ears and have two additional sizes of attachments if your ears are larger or smaller than average. When you put them in, you can barely hear anything around you and that’s even before you start up music.
I used them at the gym last night with my iPod nano and was impressed. The sound quality is good and you don’t have to pump up the volume to block out the surrounding noise. I’d definitely recommend them.

Awesome, thanks for writing about these! I’ll keep these in mind if/when my Shure E2c earphones break.

The sound quality is excellent I thought too. The cord situation/positioning is a little funky though. That little plastic “cord manager” gets in the way if you try to use it.
