I use Shure SE530's as my main earbuds. Love the highs and the mids. Bass is extremely weak IMO. For $500 I would think that a MUCH better bass driver could be used.
I also use Senn HD595 and Denon AH2000. The Senns are great for lyrics. Highs and Mids shine. Bass is a little on the light side, although very tight. The Denon's I like when I want to just listen to Rock music. Great bass, good highs and mids. Very open sound space considering they are a closed back headphone.
I am going to trade off my Shures' if and when the Klipsch S4's ever come back into stock. My Shure's are almost 4 years old and I am noticing some give in the cable. It's time to retire them. But I won't spend that kind of money on them again until they deliver better bass.

I use a Solo wireless mp3 player. I dont like earbuds at all. These have earcups and are much more comfortable. I think they have been the easiest mp3 player that I have used to date. They are designed more towards the fitness person as opposed to the mp3 person looking for buttons and lights and video. Solo Wireless Digital MP3 Player
Feels a bit weird responding to...

...James' posting. JK, I'm sure that where you're at any set of cans you're using is certainly GOLDEN. You're truly missed here.
As for me down here in this corporeal mess of a world, I'm jammin' with a bunch of Sennheiser sets. My latest, the HD800, is a major drain to the bank account and I'm not sure if it's actually worth it compared to my HD650 w/ aftermarket cables, but it DOES make it seem all too EASY to despise listening to 128K VBR AAC files (or for that matter, 256K VBR AAC files). Data compression has never been in-yer-face and hard to ignore on a set of cans than with this pair of Senns. But boy do these headphones sound GREAT when hooked directly to a good CD player. And add in a nice headphone amp...it's hard to image it getting better than this.
For IEMs I use the IE8, which beat down my Shure ES530 IEM so badly that I actually cried over the money wasted with the Shure's purchase (well, not really...but it still WAS a rather nasty takedown regardless). And finally, I still enjoy an extended listening session with Senn's PX-100, an affordable and wonderful sounding traditional over-the-head alternative to earbuds or IEMs.

Grado SR60i are my best...no EQ required, just sweet sound, used at home only. Also at home, but with EQ required, Panasonic RP-HTX7.
For on-the-go, I have Sennheiser PX100(slight EQ req.) and Koss KSC75(only used with my Sony S545, no EQ req. Any other source and they need EQ help).
All of these get used with both my Sony S545 and Samsung Q2, and the Grado's also get used with my home stereo as well.
