I went from Sony Fontopias, to their top of the line earbud with noise cancellation, and am now using a $100 pair of V-Moda Vibe. If you look at the CNET review of high end ear buds, the V-Modas are best bang for the buck. I've heard Bose earbuds before (the 2nd top model) and the bass was excessive and clouded the sound of vocals/classical.
I've never listened to Shure earbuds, but they are usually ranked up there.
With regards to the high end Sony ear buds (even the newer model with the round driver), there is a flaw that is discussed on either cnet or some other site. I can't find this source as it was at least a year ago when I purchased/researched earbuds.
