Sony's Fontopia line is not bad for the money. The only thing I didn't like was that there was too much bass.
I've been using the Shure E3's for a while. At first, I was disapointed because I thought the bass was way too weak. Apparantly, there is a 'burn in' period for these earphones. The sound quality and range on these are amazing. I'm looking to try out the E500PTH next year. If you can afford them, get them. Otherwise, go with a pair of Sony's.
Should note that all the Sony Fontopia earphones are the same, just made in different cord-lengths. Not worth spending extra money for the 'higher' models.

I used to have those, I loved them except that if you use them in like a desk chair or while laying down, they get annoying (because of the behind the head design). They're really good for snowboarding or anything when you're wearing a hat. Also, get a pair with at least volume control on them.
Just my 2¢.
