Do they have a clip to steady the cable on your shirt? (Etymotics come with that.) Another approach is to feed the wires over behind the tops of your ears to damp them, but that's a bit of a knack.

They're assymetric so one side feeds behind my neck already. No clip. It was mostly an issue for when i'm cycling though. Sitting around is alright.

I had pairs of in-ear Skullcandy headphones a few years ago, but they all seemed to break or vanish within a few weeks each. I figured some god somewhere didn't like me and my decision to buy Skullcandy, so I gave up after the fourth consecutive pair stopped working for no reason.
Other than the omens and, like el_loco_avs said, the loudness of the wire itself, I can't do in-ear headphones because I get way too absorbed in my music as it is, and being completely deaf in a place like, oh, Earth where things like coherency could help a lot with day-to-day things (riding a bike, not getting killed crossing the street, etc.), in-ear headphones are just too much.
Also, to whoever said that audiophiles scoff at headphones, I live with other people a lot. I need a distraction from it all that won't possibly provoke questions like "How come all of your favorite band's lead singers sound like chicks?" I would love to get a stereo for those days where the disruption factor isn't there, like for parties or movies, but that's in the back seat for now.
Daft pun:
I've been listening to AKG's for a few years now. First the K 81's, which I was pretty happy with. They're quite portable, block out a decent amount of outside noise and are pretty good soundwise. After a few years they had to be replaced though, as they were run over by a car (along with yours truly, I blame Mogwai for this).
So now I listen to the K 518's which is basically the same except for a sexy black paintjob.
Also, I've tried to make my own C-Moy but got distracted halfway through.

I picked up a pair of the Bose Tri-port on-ear phones at the CCity liquidation for 5 bucks and damn, those suckers are comfortable. Sound is pretty decent, too!
