The apple ones are very good but when you use them make sure your ears are clean or they will get clogged up and ruined.

Agreed. Also, even though they come with adjustable ear sockets, they fit better in some ears than others.

Thats my problem- I haven't tried the apple in ear ones, but all of the earbuds I have tried haven't been able to stay in my ears. They are constanly shifting around and it is really annoying. even if they will stay in, which I doubt, they sure don't feel like it. I'm always willing to try new ones, but I don't want to pay for something that is going to be junk for my ears.

They stay in my ears to a point. They won't stay exactly where I push them into, but they'll settle slightly farther out, still with good sound and plenty of bass.

I'd get the Shure e2 in-ear headphones.
They sound a TON better than apple's and are only slightly above your price range (approx. 60$ online).
Plus lots of people I know have issues with apple's in-ear offering falling out.

I like the way the Shure in-ear phones sound, especially the E3s, but they're out of the price range you mentioned.

I am a big fan of the Sony EX71 earbuds-- they're in your price range and they come with three different sets of tips so you can have more of a 'custom fit' to your ears.

I got some Apple in-ear headphones and quickly regretted it, worst £30 I ever spent. They constantly slip out no matter what size I use and I end up with very tinny sound because of it. They only stay completely in my ears for a few seconds before slipping out slightly, then I lose any kind of bass and it sounds distorted and...crap.
