(I did not hear them yet.) I use the Etymotics Er4s (actually Er4p + conversion cable) with H140 and RockBox. They're really great - the resolution made me appreciate the limits of my iPod and upgrade to iRiver. Extremely clear and very good noise isolation but that means you have to be very cautious walking around using them. Er4s are quite hard for a portable like H140 to drive - Er4p work better but aren't quite as refined. RockBox bass boost is useful for both types. They seal quite deeply in the ears so no good if you hate earplugs. Some people rate Shure instead but I was really unimpressed with the sound and comfort of Shure e2c when I tried them. Haven't tried the cheaper Etymotic er6 but have heard good reports about them. There's loads of discussion about these headphones and every other type at the excellent www.headfi.org. hth (or maybe just confuses further...)
