Etymotic ER-6i
Plus eleventy billion. I don't much listen to music when I'm just riding around town, but on longer trips it's a must.

The Etymotics are great because they are isolators, so you don't get the wind noise (what lulls you to sleep ), and you can hear your music FAR better, without having to turn the volume way up.

They have either the flanged attachments, or foam (that work like foam ear plugs). I preferred the foam because the flanged ones were too big for my ear canals and would eventually make me sore after about an hour of continuous use. You can order different sizes if need be (smaller or larger).. but I'm lazy.

Well worth the expense, IMO.
