I use monster turbines but i don't like the ear tips that come with any in ear phones.
Hence i use comply foam tips t400.
Ultra comfortable and as they are expanding they stay in your ear better.
Downside is they have a life of approx 3 months.

Have to agree with this, used Sennheisers, Super Fi's and Phonaks before but for the money this are right up there. Great to have the inbuilt mic as well
Sennheiser MM30i
Decent overall quality, 2yr Sennheiser guarantee, 3 button control (like the Apple earphones) and a decent quality microphone.

I also use Urban Ears Plattan headphones. Good set of trendy cans and they have a answer call/skip track button and a microphone. They're available in a hell of a lot of colours.

so far, you guys have been helpful, actually meeting a need that i forgot to mention about the remote control feature, something that apple earphones have gotten me addicted to. so thanks, and if their are any more ideas out their, please do tell.
Sennheiser anything is going to be the best bang for your buck under $75. If you are wanting to spend a little more, look into Klipsch and Shure.
I use the radius atomic bass headphones, they're really good and pretty cheap I think they're only $40. They have a lot of bass, if you're into that sort of thing.
I can't believe no one have mentioned the Shure's 215 SE IEM's.
- Detachable Cord
- Thick and durable cord(reinforced with kevlar).. The whole IEM is really sturdy unlike the Klipsch s4i which are known for breaking easily in less than a year.
- REALLY comfortable, in fact I always forget when wearing them. As a matter of fact, as you said that you travel quite a lot, these provides excellent sound isolation.
- Now, most important..SOUND QUALITY. I pretty much agree with what Head-fi reviews says about this excellent IEM's, in summary: balanced sound, smooth bass and great clarity. Check some reviews in Head-fi about this IEM's.
Finally, all this for 100$(you can get it for less). A better deal? Im sure not.
