Pros: Bass quality, quantity. Comfort, sound for the price
Cons: Fixed cable, balance
Pretty much all has been said already. Excellent value, very good bass, mids and highs are a little laid back. Really comfortable. Perfect first pair of headphones for anyone looking to get a better musical experience from an iPod.

Pros: Really comfortable, detachable cable, lightweight, portable, good isolation.
Cons: Really lacking in bass response, strange and rough highs, cable is a bit fragile, expensive, bad value.
I bought this last year as a replacement for my Senn CX 300 and boy was I dissapointed. They sound absolutely flat, without anything resembling a good bass response. Mids are practically inexistent and highs, which are supposedly emphazised, are rough and pretty bad. I've given them to my brother since and he uses them to play Starcraft online so at least they are being put to good use.

"Let's say the AE2 or AE1 were $80. What else is out there that is as portable, small and as comfortable as the Triport?"
The Etymotic MC5 IEM isolates so much better than the AE2 or AE1. The Bose active noise cancelling headphones do a very poor job of suppressing midrange noise, ie. conversations. The MC5 IEM also is much more compact(easily fits in a shirt pocket), and has much better sound. It is also only $59.
The Sony V6 and 7506 are very comfortable with Beyerdynamic velour earpads on them.
There are some decent sounding compact headphones such as the JVC HAS650($34) and AKG 430 ($40).
Even the $10 JVC HAS160 sounds quite good and is very compact. If you don't need isolation, the Sennheiser PX100II
is very compact and great sounding.

Tdockweiler, heard it at a demo for a good listen. Somewhat pleasant but still not acceptable and given Bose's way of informing the consumer and charging too much for something as small as fun sounding a portable headphone: junk. As an alternative I would not go for the CAL! either. For $80 you can find a PX200 II which in sound quality alone comes awfully close to full size headphones. For a bit more a HD25 is in sight. Oh well...

the UE 700 is the perfect combination of comfort + sound quality + price. 'nuff said.

Pros: Balanced sound, quite enough bass, excelent isolation
Cons: Strange fit, fragile, thin cable, highs are a little distorted
These will provide very good isolation if you get the correct fit. I managed to do this by trying out all the tips affered. As others have noted, the is a little bit of distortion on the highs, which I've noticed slightly affects the vocals. The bass on these is really good, altough it fortunately doesn't drown the rest of the sound, which makes them a little balanced to my ears. Overall good value.
