Gotta say the Sony's are the biz. I put my gf's ipod phones in my ears for the first time after only using the Sony's for a few months and after 10 mins or so they hurt my ears. The Sony's are super comfy adn have great sound. Go get em!!!

So I was nuts when I paid over £500 pounds for mine (But they my babies and I love them)..., but yeah the best in-ear headphones for around about 45-55£ would be the Shure E2C they are really amazing..I have used the E5C and they cost more but sound shit.
The sony fontopia's have lost there quality over the years to be honest and they seal is not been that good as they seem to have made the largest plug possibly 10% smaller than what it used to be..now thats not good when you need a tight seal so..I would think twice about the fontopia especially if you have a large ear canal.
And if you feeling rich or win the lottery try the STAX OMEGA II..they will blow your mind away and also your hearing...

if you want a decent set of headphones that dont cost the earth have a look at the sennheiser mx500. they come in black or white and will blow anything around that price away. they are about £30 in the uk but if you shop around ive seen them on offer for £20
dont get the sony mdrex71 as they are crap , they dont track the sound well and the bass is very laggy on them.
if it has to be sony check out the mdred21lp these are better then the ex71 and cost £10 less

I'm with him - Senns are great. The MX series is cheap and some of the best buds I've heard. Currently using the MX450 (same as MX550 without the inline volume controller). Trounces the Ex71s by fidelity and price!

Etymotic ER-6 in-earphones are fantastic, they have superb build quality, and perfect sound reproduction, they come in white/black. They're great, as they isolate sound from outside sources, and others can't hear what you're listening to. The only warning I'd give is that they're a bit pricey, and if you like your bass, then don't buy them, they have a very flat equalizer, so you won't get face-melting bass.

the ones you are looking at on amazon are f**king brilliant, I got a pair myself, and my girlfrined has now got them, the good thing is if you do sport they stay in your ears, and they also have great sound quality, much better then the normal apple ones etc. BUY THEM

Seconded!
I also have a pair and they are great. Cant fault them honestly. Just be careful not to lose the 'buds'.
