My girlfriend has an ipod classic and is going to be traveling overseas by plane, and wants a decent sounding set of earbuds (that I'm buying). I don't think she would like a full-on IEM but maybe something a little more user friendly.

For go to walmart and buy em headphones, definitely JVC Marshmallows
If you have time to find some at a good price and order online, go for Sennheiser CX300s or creative EP-630s

Also, I live like 10 miles from you haha

I'd go for the Marshmallows or the CX300s. Avoid getting the CX300s from eBay, though. Lots of fakies. The KSC75s won't do it for an airplane ride, because they don't isolate at all and do leak enough to annoy anyone sitting that close to you. Unless your gf travels first class.

JVC Marshmallows or Sennheiser's CX300-the latter if a store is selling those for $20 (mostly seen posts these being had for $25-$30).

I like the foam tips on the Marshamallows-isolates nicely.
