Jimbill: Are you looking for earBUDS? Those don't insert very deeply in the ear canal and don't give you much isolation from ambient sound. In-ear monitors go deep into the ear canal and give much more sound isolation (and have the potential for overall better sound reproduction than earbuds). Which are you looking for?

I have narrow ear canals and never found an IEM that I could wear comfortably, so I went with a pair of Yuin earbuds for about $80 that sound fine.
