I have some inexpensive Sony earbud phones much like the Shures. I
keep one set with my iPod, one with my 744, and one spare to share
with a friend. They are fine, adequate for most uses, though I prefer
Sony MDR-V6 (pro versions of 7506) for music and critical recording -
after using them for 17 years, I know what they are telling me very
very well, with good isolation if not perfect iso. The Sonys have
slightly exaggerated response which helps me to find and avoid things
I don;t want to hear (like hums and buzzes in live music).

Some love them some hate them but I own six sets for studio and field
uses...
