Koss "The Plug" at about 30 bucks works OK for me, on my Triumph.
They have changeable foam plugs around a center tube that delivers the
music.

OK, I just googled them, Amazon has them for 10 bucks

And I found the one I bought!

AND...if your ipod ever needs a battery or hard drive upgrade:

www.brokenipods.com

I bought a broken ipod off ebay for $25, sent it in to this guy and by
the end of the week and out another $100, I had a perfectly like new
ipod that's worked perfectly for the past two years.

And Apple wants to tell people that once the battery kicks the bucket,
you have to either send it into them for an *expensive* battery
replacement, or buy a new ipod. If you know of anyone who has a dead
ipod because the battery is dead, send it brokenipods and they'll
replace the battery for around $30.

A "me too" on the Koss ear plug. It's the only ear plug I use. It's
also really good to use to listen to music when doing lawn work.
