My biggest issue with earbuds is that I can never seem to get a pair that actually fit my ear. Even with the sets with different tips, they are either too big (stay in, but are painful after a short time), are too small (immediately fall out), or are the wrong shape/material (slip out after a short time). I really wish I could find a pair that fit like my swimming ear plugs. The S4s look like they have a lower durometer silicone tip, so I think I'll give those a shot. I really do prefer earbuds because of the portability, but was looking for something that was comfortable while giving good sound (which is why I was looking at over-the-ear headphones).

Dunno what your budget is, but get a custom fit pair with custom fit tips. I've heard it's incredible. They're not cheap, but if you're shopping for a pair of high-end ear buds it's pretty competitive especially considering what you're getting.

I always had the same problem.

After about 100 hours of burn-in on the buds, they sound great. And the Comply tips are memory foam - roll them between your fingers and stuff 'em in your ears. They expand to a perfect fit; both noise canceling and extremely comfortable. They really don't tire out your ears either. I wear mine probably 2 hours every day while walking around campus and whatnot.
Of course if you want a set of cans, you can find some good stuff on Amazon's headphone store:

CNet reviews are helpful too, IMO.

Memory foam tips, 3 pair for $15. Comply is the company name, and they have a few different ones to fit a bunch of different brands of buds.

I am taking your advice and getting a set of Sennheiser HD555 on-ear headphones. Going to also get a pair of cheaper earbuds to replace the ones I have now. Looked at a few reviews and found some that are in my budget (considering I'll be getting the other headphones too). Cheap, but had good reviews everywhere I looked (they're a JVC product). If they don't fit well, I'll look into those foam tips. Looks like those would work really well, but I don't want to spend the money on them until I decide it's necessary/beneficial. I tried the skull candy ones, and liked them...but they broke really quickly. Really appreciate all the advice...saved me a ton of headaches in the future!

Just as a thought.
Super glue+Swimming ear plug+cheapo ear buds.
break out the speaker system from the cheapo ear buds. Carv our openings into swimming ear plug. Super glue into place.

I don't know why I never bought one before, it rides so nice and gets good mpgs along with the decent power

No problem man, I went through the headache of researching last year, and I was very happy with what I ended up with. Good idea waiting on the foam tips. They're great, but there's no use spending the cash if you don't have to. Good luck!
