Earbuds don't really have good bass. Ipod buds actually have decent bass for buds, but that's not saying much. I'd recommend you get real headphones. They are actually more durable than buds and you'll get your bass frequencies (>100Hz) too. I have Senheiser eH150. They're about $40 i think and they have pretty good sound quality. I use them for music production as well as listening.

Yuin PK2 are very good even for very normal looking earbuds. They were my favorite and most used until I gave them to my bro. Shure is overrated imo. I have their top-line E530 and it is not worth the $250 I paid for them. Super nice details but a more than annoying cutoff of high freqs. Creative EP630s are a good cheap ear canal choice and I've gone through 2 pairs already ... $25 I think. Koss KSC75 are also supergood cheap choice and a must-have imo ... the sound on this thing is amazing and is considered the best in terms of sound-quality to $ I think of any 'phone. There are lots of reviews and discussions on head-fi.org if you're interested.

I have v-moda vibes and they're pretty awesome, not very durable though.
Some other good companies to look at for IEMs are audeo, denon, ultimate ears. read reviews and try them out.

They have some rather nice ones in Best Buy, they are usually small and only 20-30 dollars but are quite good. I forgot the name now but I will update this when I remember/look it up.

I just got the Etymotic er-6is recently as well (lot of reviews have them priced around $150, but I think I found them for $75 which is part of the reason I got them). Love them so far when I've gotten to use them, but I wouldn't even consider using them for my computer over my sennheiser headset.

+1 on the Koss KSC-75s

for their price, they're a great a value and worth more than the cost

http://www.amazon.com/Koss-KSC75-Portable-Stereophone-Headphones/dp/B0006B486K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1250752460&sr=8-1

they lack oomph in bass, but they're just so fun and lively to listen to. they're not perfect. they'll distort with some songs, but for headphones under $20, they're pretty amazing.

please note though that the KSC-75s have a 60 ohm impedance while the Sony MDR-EX75s have a 16 ohm impedance. what this means is that when plugging into a MP3 player, the MDR-EX75s will have a higher max volume than the KSC-75s. read link below for explanation on impedance.

Im currently using Bose in ear headphones. Pretty good , imo. Heavy on the bass side. I think they are 89$ USD

Worth checking out. I've only been using them for a week though.
Shure is a pain in the ass. Seriously. I bought the SE210's, and i've had to send them in for repair 2 times now.

v-moda vibes (in ear monitors) have amazing midrange and bass

they're pretty fragile though

Smart money is on the Sennheiser PC350's, the sound quality is amazing, as is the bass if you have a good sound card.

the Grado SR60's were the best ~$60 I ever spent. As said, they're quite impractical for travel, and the open can means everyone can hear your headphones, but the quality is really impressive.
