I'm really having a tough time deciding and thought someone here might have a strong opinion. Let me know!
 

Sony EX650AP - $80
 

Focal Sphear - $150

I owned the Sony EX650AP and found it to be the most sibilant earbuds I had ever heard. I would wince every time I heard a 'SSS' or 'CHH'.
 
It's unfortunate, too - other than that, it was outstanding. Great deep bass, wonderful amount of detail, easy to drive - it was just torture to listen to.
 
YMMV

Hm.. That's too bad. Thanks for the swift reply.
 
I should mention that I have previously owned a pair of Klipsch Reference S4i's. The reason I'm on the lookout for new headphones is that I lost these on the plane. Looking for a bit of an upgrade.
