Hi

I am looking for a good pair of headphones for use with an iPOD. I am
looking for a pair that will block out most of the noise (or is it
music?) in the gym, without me needing to turn the volume right up. I
have seen some that appear to shape themself to the shape of your ear,
are these any good? Any recommendations ?

thanks
Andrew

i use senheisser px-250 noise cancelling headphones with mine.  maybe not 
quite what you're after, but block out external noise, and very comfy to 
wear.

Griffin make earjams to fit to the ipod headphones.  They cancel out outside 
noise, improve sound quality and come with three different sizes to fit in 
your ears.
I was that impressed I bought two sets.

Shure E2C fit the bill although are a wee bit expensive. Worth it though.

I can highly recommend the Sony Fontopia EX71. At about 30, a bargain as 
well.

Plenty of choice here :

But IMHO, the Apple in-ear ones are the best.

I have the Apple in-ear headphones and they are good but they do let a 
lot of noise in.

thanks

£130 is a bit expensive for just listening to mp3s.

yes it is expensive.  but if you really appreciate quality reproduction of 
music, then these are the earphones for you.
