I'm not a headphone snob, but I do have a pair of Ultimate Buds UB5 that are a noticable improvement over the stock headphones. The audio is significantly cleaner and crisper, and the noise isolation from the environment is much better. They are not as 'thumpy' with the base as some other headphones, but they respond well to EQ adjustments. (Plus, I prefer my music more balanced anyway.)
They're only about $50. If you're looking for a step up from the stock headphones, these are a great value, in my opinion.
