Aer phone that sound great and don't hurt

[irregularjoe]

I'm a new iPodder and new to the forum.
I'd like to hear some recommendations regarding earphones based on my requirements.
I listen primarily to classical music, opera, and some jazz.
The included iPod earbuds hurt my ears. ie: they don't fit.
The sound isn't that bad, but they are uncomforable.
I will be using my iPod (60 Photo) with earphones for when I'm hiking, walking, and working out. Other times I use a Creative speaker system. (so I don't need earphones while I'm at home).
I did read about the Shure's and I'm sure (no pun intended) that they are great, but I have an aversion to something that looks like it needs to be surgically implanted into my ear in order to work properly.
What I would like is a very lightweight non sound insulating (I want to be sure to hear that truck approaching while I'm walking) set of ear phones that also sound great.

Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Joe

Anything that fits my needs up to a few hundred bucks.
Obviouly, the less expensive, the better.

It's more about comfort and sound than money though.
