There are a bunch of reviews out there. I have had a number of ear buds and the ones with the semi-spherical rubber seals have better bass response They can also be the most uncomfortable. I have not found any that have the rubber seals, sound excellent and are comfortable for long periods of time.

I have been very pleased with the Shure earphones that I purchased a couple of years ago:

I've got a pair of these Bose IE2 and they work great with my ipod. Although I didn't pay $99.99. I got them for $30 when my son worked in the Bose nearby. You can get them from Bose or at Best Buy. I have also heard Sennheiser makes real good ones for less.
They come with several different rubber covers one of which should fit your your ears pretty well.

That is the key, finding the right fit for your ear. Like sgtspector said, they usually come with several different sizes of 'buds' that you can change to get a nice tight fit in your ear.

Personally, I notice very little difference in sound between the semi-cheap ones and the moderately priced ones.
