Good in ear headphones?

I'm looking for some comfortable, quality in ear headphones to go with my new Sony MP3 Walkman (as the ones which come with it are pap). I want some which aren't going to fall out, and with a good base response for listening to trance/d&b. I used to have some Panasonic in ear phones which came with a portable tape player and had a rubber cover with a bit that stuck out into the ear. These were the best in ear head phones I've ever had, but I can't find anything like them anymore.

if u wanna spend around 30, get the sony ex-71s..

they'll sound a hell of alot better than what you've got in your hand..

for around 60ish, u can get ur hands on some Shure E2cs..and they will blow u out the water

Wanna spend even more money..then check out the rest of the shure range

Shure E2Cs are brillaint headphones, if you hunt around you shoudl be able to get them cheaper than £60, well worth the money

If you want some similar to the ones in that picture, the Sony MDR-ED21 or MDR-ED31 has a very, very similar structure.

For better bass response, and if you're willing to spend abit, the Super.Fi 5 EB are considered the bassiest IEM around
