They are pretty good if they are the ones I am thinking of, the shape of the rubber bits blocks any outside noise really well. But as with anything like that it's all about personal preference. so my recommendation would be if you like them, buy them.
Also try brands like Bose and Steinheiser.

I'd recommend either Sennheisers or Shures. The Sennheiser CX300s have excellent isolation and bass response. The Shure E or SE ranges have excellent sound, and are my personal favourites. The Shure range spans a range of phones from budget to high-end.

Just don't buy any of these on ebay or Amazon as there are lots of cheap Hong Kong knockoffs there.

I like skull candy headphones they are so expensive though!
So thats their only downfall.

Do they actually stay in? My earbuds are always falling out while I run.
