I'll second Zoe's recommendation. I started using Etymotics recently and 
  have been really happy with them. I'm using the cheaper version 
(ER-6), and even those have excellent definition and transparency. I 
was listening to some jazz I had transcribed a few years ago, and 
discovered I'd made a voicing mistake that was painfully evident through 
the ER-6s, though not through the studio headphones I used at the time. 
Impressive.

One concern, though, is that they have tiny little acoustic filters that 
provide a measure of equalization. It's good to order a spare set, 
because they, um, fill up with earwax.
