I wouldn't worry too much about highs and bass. I agree with that 
advice. Shure and Etymotic Research are two excellent companies that 
make these sorts of earphones. In the pro audio world, they're called 
"in-ear," and are mostly sold to pop musicians for in-ear monitoring 
during live performance. They are used with UHF FM transmission systems, 
and because it's usually REAL loud on stage, they must be very good at 
sealing the ear canal.

My favorite audio vendor is Full Compass, near Madison, WI. It's a 
family-run outfit that I used to compete with. I also like B&H in NYC. 
Check out their online catalogs for more options and pricing.
