Everyone is also forgetting, it really depends on what you're going to use the earbuds with.
Although you say you hate Skullcandy, I noticed with my old Creative Zen Vision: M Skullcandy would sound WAY better than my current Zune 80GB. Why? Because creative makes sound cards, thus integrating their own great technology into an MP3/4 player. Also my old Zen came with a Mixer so you can change the levels of different frequencies. I've always hated iPoops, they sound horrible.
So just because one person says "Oh these sound horrible" they may sound much better/worse depending on what you use them with.
Example. My Father now uses an MP3 player, but he bought some cheat Sandisk. He uses Skullcandy Ink'd earbuds. His Sandisk produce ALOT more highs than anything else vs my Zune which is more a lower to midtone and a bit more even on the highs and it sounds even better. They sound EVEN BETTER on my old Zen.
As far as suggestions, you didn't say how much you could spend.

I was going to purchase these, but they only had the S4i's and I don't use iPoop's so I don't need that. I ended up getting Skullcandy Titans XD
Also forgot to mention, the difference between my Droid X vs my Zune. The Droid X sounds very.. muddy. It's ok when on the go, like walking to down town, but wouldn't be able to stand that for very long. That is using my Skullcandy Titans.
