I have a pair of Sony's, mediocre at best. My helmet is the AGV Stealth, I'm looking for a good pair of in ear buds, with good fidelity. Suggestions?

I have Etymotic Research ER-6i's.  I just got them, but I am happy with them.  http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/er6i.aspx They block the sound of my boomtubes well.
996 forks, BoomTubes, frame sliders, CRG bar-end mirrors, vizitech integrated tail light, rizoma front turn signals, rizoma grips, cycle cat multistrada clip ons, pantah belt covers - more to come

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. H. L. Mencken

+2. Work great, don't come out when I put my lid on.

Besides, they're black and have skulls on them!!!

Who cares, they sound awesome and pack quite a bit of bass...

I have a pair of Philips that I wear for everyday riding. I have also used sennheiser and bose headphones. Both are phenomenal and worth the money for reproduction, but in the bang for the buck category I favor the philips phones.

I picked up a pair of Sennheiser when Newegg had em on sale last year. Buy a pair, send the old ones in and get $30 back (or something). They are the in canal type. The only type to get. Ear buds killed my ears, and the speakers didn't fit in my helmet very well.

I use JVC Marshmellows. They fit great and have earplug like expanding foam. And they sound great too.

Copy. Calibration error = humidity, altitude, attitude to tutu, distraction from tutu, stereotype naked rat bikes, human error due to heat, tutu and jealousy!

I just switched the plugs to the second pair and I have had these a little over a year...and use them every time I ride whether I listen to la musica or not.
