I have Sennheiser CX300-IIs. For £15 I can't think of any better alternative, they're excellent.
I'm mostly using my red Dr. Dre Solo HDs, so I guess they are my (newish) favourites. A bit pricey, but what the he...y, we only live once, right...? Well, most of us anyway... 
I also have my (oldish) white Sennheiser MM 50 iPs as backup (or whenever in-ears are more convenient then over-ears).

It's hard for me to justify paying $200 for headphones, but I think I'm going to get Dre Beats Solo HD or the orange Bluetooth Jay Bird.
I've had shure, senheisser, apple, dr dre beats but the best by far are the Bose in ear headphones. They have the best bass and the clearest highs and mids. All the others I've had were good at one thing but bad at the other the Bose are not perfect but the best I've tryed within my budget.
Do you or anyone else have any insights on those in ear or these (and I'll post a link to them) on ear mobile headphones that Im looking to get.. They're the triport on ear but mobile. A buddy of mine had the non mobile on ear headphones a couple years ago.. Didn't know if they've gotten better? Or worse? They seem a good fit for myself who wants a real nice pair of phones forthe first time. I had a pair of v-moda's but one of the buds went out.. So imma try to avoid those again even tho I liked them..
Love my Zagg Smartbuds! I have them in pink They have a remote that works perfectly with the iPhone with a mic, a button to pause/play/skip etc, and inline volume control. They were only $40 with a code and sound great to me.

Hey Brownbear541 I am currently using the Bose in ear mobile with my iphone and loooooooove them but before that I had the Bose On Ear Mobile headphones you linked to. They are super comfy the ear pads are like some kind of memory foam and they kind of mould to your ears very very nice. Build quality was ok but plasticy but most headphones are now anyways.
The only reason I got the in ears instead was because I often use one bud at a time at work and the in ears are a little more subtle at work as well. I personally thought the on ears sounds better than the in ears as well. I will definitely be looking at buying them again in the near future.

My favorite are the SkullCandy Ink'd, although not with the iPhone 4...my 2 favs!

Beats By Dre Solo Headphones

With the new Vapor Case i'm using, I need to focus on more smaller threaded headphone jacks, but lucky the best one thus far is the Koss Portapro's. Excellent sound quality and with the black version cheap at bestbuy, I can finally rock them without looking like I came out of the 80's.
I love my Monster Turbines. They're $180 but they're worth it. They are all metal, no plastic so nothing will break. The sound quality is incredible, and they are noise canceling. Mine even went through the wash once because I forgot to take them out of my pocket and they survived. I think it even cleaned them . Monster doesn't even consider them headphones or earphones, they call them "In Ear Speakers". Here they are.

EDIT: A great thing about them is the plug is the same thickness as the apple headphones and it's not angled or anything so it will work with most cases, such as the Bumper and the Vapor 4.

Shure SE-115K In Ear Headphones. Great at blocking out noise and good all around sound. Might I add that they are extremely durable. I have stepped on them and they have gone through the wash and dry and somehow still work the same as they always have.
Sennheiser HD202 On Ear Headphones. Budget cans with pretty good sound for the pricetag.

I use the Grado 80's at home and they are fantastic for the price (very "old school" looking)...I've found nothing that can touch these in their price range...a bit too bulky for me to go remote with them though (mine are older as I bought them in 2001, and only have the larger jack not the mini jack so I have to use an adapter which kinda sucks and they're not the most comfortable on my ears, but THE SOUND is unmatched at that price)...
I just bought a pair of Bowers & Wilkins P5's two weeks ago and they are by far the best pair of headphones I have ever heard. I listened to every brand they had in the store and the P5's blew them all out of the water. They are not cheap at $300 but worth every penny if you listen to a lot of music. They are made from stainless steel and Australian sheep leather(which feels like heaven). Also, if the cords or ear parts ever wear out you can just get them replaced easily. The cuffs are magnetically attached and the cord has a jack inside. Plus they match my new phone perfectly with the black and stainless steal band.
The B&W P5's are SWEEEEEET!!!
I have several pairs of headphones (I worked in broadcasting and in recording studios for 30 years) for both "in home" and "portable use" and I use my "Total BitHead" amp from HeadRoom whenever possible...that little thing ROCKS!
