Oh, well there's lots apparently! The ones I got were about £39 but there are better ones (and cheaper ones) Highly recommend them, I cant use normal ones, they pop out instantly

These ones?

These are the ones I have - I'm sure they were more expensive when I bought them.

They fit really well and sound pretty good. I don't like the standard ones as they hurt my ears - like Pheebs, I have small ear canals and the ordinary ones are too big but these fit in snuggly. They come with three different sized rubber buds to suit the individual and if, like me, you lose one of the buds, you can buy new ones.

Some decent sennheiser in ear, Sony, or if you're feeling really flush shure, will always make a difference, more bass/response/depth. Spend about £50 of earphones and you won't be disappointed compared to the standard ipod or generic £10 jobbies. Although the ipod are actually pretty decent freebie earphones (as they go).

I've got a pair of these - Clicky and they are great, stay in the ears and are very comfortable too.

Ultimate Ears make the best in-ear headphones, just don't buy the .eb versions

As for the difference between putting them in the correct ears or not, the evidence in this thread would show that the vast majority of people can't tell the difference (probably because of the poor quality of the iPod and many other portable audio devices) but you should experience a diffuse stereo image and other such things. It might not sound wrong to the "untrained ear" but it will feel different, it will be just something you cant quite place.

If you listen to a lot of well-produced music or music that uses stereo quite heavily (for example the Beatles) then you will certainly benefit from having them in the correct ear
